The dreaded 'nits'

OK so I've had better days!! Woke up this morning, Olivia climbs into bed (it's still dark) and I pretend to still be asleep and then I hear it, scratch scratch scratch.......she's furiously itching her head and I have a sinking feeling deep inside, she's caught the bloody headlice arghhhhhhhh!! We had a letter last week from school warning parents that headlice have been reported in her class and I put the thought aside however, now it has become apparent that my own child, the one who is clean, well brought up and from a lovely clean home has caught nits!!!! So I put the light on, start checking and there it bloody well is, the mosquito sized, living and moving nit!!! Gross.

So, an unexpected day off was the result, a rush trip to the chemist to get the treatment (£11 - WHAT?!!) and a morning of hair washing, combing and drying,

All done now, Georgia has also been treated and life returns to normal.

Life as a Mum eh, never ever dull :0)
