Wow Julie I cant believe how quickly your pregnancy has gone - wont be long now! Have you picked out any names yet? As for the beating over the head with track - had to have a good laugh at that one. Alex got given for his birthday from a friend a minature kiddies whipper snipper which he loves and has already bonked Gabriella on the head with!

We are lucky that so far (touch wood) we have managed to avoid the lice factor too. Can remember as a kid my sister having them and that was shocking as she had long ringletty hair.

Dee - do I have to treat it everyday for 21 days? I am so new to all of this any advice you can give me would be great. How do you make your own spray? You are right, it is expensive.

Julie - so good to hear from you. I hate it when I lose a post, very frustrating. Hopefully Oscar won't have too many head lice issues. Boys with quite short hair seem to avoid it. Some of the boys at Chelsea's school have their hair almost shaved to avoid lice.

No once a week for 3 weeks should do it, but depending on the infestation and to get the eggs out you should use conditioner on dry hair let sit for a couple of minutes and then comb through with the lice comb atleast every 2nd to 3rd day at bath/shower time, just makes it easier to get rid of them. I would do the three weekly treatments though even if you think you have everything out, they are good at hiding and holding on to the hair so definitely follow through on the entire cycle. Did you let the school know? They will send a note home for other parents to treat their child's hair, it is anonymous so no one will know who reported it. There is a recipe somewhere on the net here but basically,it is 250 mls of water and about 5 drops of eucalyptus oil and 3 drops of tea tree oil and 3 drops of lavender oil. Or you can add a about 10 drops of each to a cheap conditioner. I think it works!! And it smells nice.

Thanks Dee! Great advice which I will definately follow up on. I sent a note to school today to let them know but I am sure Chelsea will announce it everyone lol!!! I have googled the preventative spray and its pretty much as you said. Hopefully I can keep them at bay.

Looking forward to the Fabulous Flying Flynnie's birthday party tomorrow Rory! Got a sleeping Niall in my arms ATM. No nap today except for this. hiya julie and mel and Nic (OMG at your DH being mugged!!!) Thinking of you Maya hope you're relaxing now! ok... better wake this boy, arm getting sore, need to make dinner!

ETA: I forgot to say; yes! Great advice Dee... nits are vile! If they discover them at child care you have to go and collect them immediately. This happened to verity once. I was mortified. They let you back once you fill in a form to say that you have commenced treatment though.

Hope Nixon gets better soon Nickers. Nothing worse then a sick little fellow.

Where is your DH atm?
