I'm being grumpy.

thankyou Crafting,

Hope your feeling a bit better now rubylady I think I'll just write this year off. It feels as if there's one obstacle after another. (((((Hug)))) from grumpy old me

Ruby, a friend discovered that hand sanitizing gel stops his itching. I dare say it would dry the skin if used too often, but I can understand why the cooling effect would work.
I hope you will be feeling brighter soon.

Talk of gel got me thinking:

Aloe Vera gel, available from Holland and Barrett and other health food shops could be soothing.

DD takes probiotics, not the little drinks in a bottle, but the proper probiotics in sachets, also available from H&B and other health food shops.
She doesn't take them daily, but will take them for a few days then not for a while.

Thank you all again for your kind wishes and comments, I will try the Aloe Vera gel, it should help a bit. I have found the fan a great help though, and I have been getting some sleep for about 4 hours at a time. I do wish I could sleep longer, I feel like a baby, sleep for 4 hours, up for a feed, bathroom and then play for a while and then back in bed!

I'm a bit in limbo, waiting for his highness to go to uni in 10 weeks 6 days! Lol. The house has been left where housework is concerned recently, I haven't the motivation to keep on top of it. I do an area and then he comes along and mucks it all up. I might as well not bother. I've just done all the kitchen again but tomorrow he will throw sugar all over and milk and I'm feeling somewhat of a maid. If I tell him it will cause tension and I am just keeping my mouth shut for the time he is here and putting up with it and leaving jobs for now but it really isn't my stlye at all. I can't wait to get it all "bottomed" and sparkly again. And then I can start using my new things I have bought and put out girly bathroom items instead of razors and stubble being all over the shop!
