Hi Jill, I caught them one year off the school kids when I did Christmas scripture lessons. Didn't have any idea till February!!!! For those who prefer natural (almost) remedies look for a product called Orange Medic Plus. It contains permethrin with tea tree oil and a very pleasent citrus fragrance. It's actually made in Currumbin and the phone number is/was 5598 1092. I bought mine at the local chemist a few years ago. Some of the other products have very vicious chemicals. I also found that a cheap plastic bristle brush with TWO bristles per hole worked just like a fine toothed comb and was much easier to use. :) Hope this helps. Vonny

Vonny how could you not know until feb.? G.kids were here Sat. overnight. Mon. I felt itchey and had a couple of spots just put it down to mossies, Tues night felt a bit more itchy this morning at breakfast I got Ron to take a look at me and my head. By this time I was begining to wonder, AHHHH! yes, there were eggs. I know what it is, Queensland! beautiful one day p'egg'fect the next. Jillxx

Evening All Just thought I would try and leave a message. Will this thing is connected. Now Tony and Mary, we had no real problems with Spida when he was with us apart from injuries. But when he was with the Saints he was a bit ... shall we say hot headed and if he does go to Sydney back with his old mate Barry Hall well old habits may come back hee hee. I dont think we will miss him a lot and we have won without him, so if he dont want to stay with us then its someone elses prob, maybe Carlton or Geelong will take him lol. Trifley hope everything went ok today. Fingers crossed I can get back on again before next Friday 15th when we get into new place. ~~~~~~~~ madly to all~~~~~~~~ Cheers Sue

hi Wattlers, hi ya Dragonfly! we speak our Queens's own English. (just had to add that) We love and understand every martoonie minute. I'm looking not particpating really. i can see one of the offspring will want to use this computer, as there are 'things' hanging about the task bar and trashy music is playing. I had nits, i had nits, i had nits. Never at school, but when the kids would bring them home from camp. I ended up using tea tree oil quite frequently, just as a deterent. Don't get bitten by mossies, but accumulate little ticks when I'm camping. love Yvette

Good evening Wattlers Great to hear from you Trifles - wouldn't like to guess what poor Graeme thought about your comparison though!!! Did the earth not move for you!! Drown the chemicals with martoonis and you'll feel no pain. Seriously - glad that everything so far is good. Oh Jilllaroo - you poor little wattle blossom! I've worked with louse infested kids for years and I've never ever caught the little blighters. The secret is - hairspray. They hate it. Can't get a grip and they hate the sticky feel. My hair is very fine and fly away so I usually wear a bit of hairspray - so, I'll be OK. Hope you get rid of yours very quickly. I believe orange medic is good. Hi Jilly McMad - sending special thoughts across the ocean to you in Scotland. ((((((hugs)))))))) What has happened to our Lemon? Nobody tells me anything! Ducky - I am imagining you sitting in your cubicle.........isn't that a brilliant take on that song!! Yvette- don't ask!! But I went for a long walk this morning!! I'm off to finish a good book so will catch you all tomorrow. Love Anna

Laurie, You used to be able to get Orange Medic (without the permethrin) to use as a preventative. It is just tea tree oil and the citrus fragrance :) Vonny :) Ps Yvette, I did two lots of 'cycling' today but just had a dark chocolate TimTam!!

Evenin' all Mary, at least you now have something to work on re John's problem. Honey Rum, how did you manage to lose the weight ? Tony, the (paint) colours sound wonderful. Love sea side colours. Hz, congrats to DD - well done - just love pipe bands. Wish it were raining here....... Hi Wilson, did you enjoy your holiday ? Vonny, apricots are my favourite stone fruit, chase them bl**dy parrots away, although chase them to someone else's trees. Jude 3, the garden will look lovely, and so nice to have a working kitchen when it is finally done. We planted pansies last week. Thanks for sending the key ring, will let you know when it arrives. SuzyQ, It is Jill who is doing the transcribing, I haven't had any spare time lately although I have thought about it. So glad you are feeling a little better today. Dragonfly, we know what inflicted that headache, and it aint no waffling. One bottle not good, try two LOL Gawd, not even the Brissie Lions want spider. Tony I think you have the vb tablet covered anyway. Happy 'happy hour'. Laurie see you tomorra Trifles good to finally hear from you. Have a few more martoonoonies, yea I know !!!!!!!!!!!! My cat will fight anyone and anything for prawns (and crab)....lol You got guts Jilly - whats a few lice between friends. Thanks for the advice Vonny Housie nearly finished, maybe then we'll hear from the Queen Time for a chardy Pam

Anna, if you get hair spray in bulk, please keep me one can LOL Yea Anna, I loved the song - did know the words, but not sung this way Oh Vonny - Tim tam !!!!!!!!! Pam
