Susiecue, glad that you behaved during the packing. Just keep it up and

don't overdo. Sorry to hear about the impetigo. We did the same thing with

our daughter when she was about 3yrs old. Luckily no one else got it. Keep

us posted and Please don't work too hard.

hugs

Susiecue - glad you premove stuff is going according

to plan! I am sympathising about the impetigo. I

remember when I was five (YES, WE ARE GOING BACK A

BIT!) I can remember it very well. We were living in

the Middle East at the time, in Yemen, and my friend

had this blister, my mum was worried about it but the

doc said, no, don't worry, it's not contagious, so we

were allowed to play. Of course it was impetigo and I

got it, we are are talking of the days when

antibiotics were not generally available, and this

impetigo got infected with a a bacterial infection,

(now I am going to be gross) I can remember these

awful oozing sores that I had! I had to wash all over

in s Coal Tar soap, and stand with the suds on

for 10 minutes every day! You know how hard that is

to do at five?? Of course it did eventually clear up,

but I have some scars left 55 years later!! So you be

careful!! However, I think it is a lot easier to treat

now! Don't get scared about my horror story!!! If I

remember rightly Gentian Violet is good too, and kids

usually like that because of the colour, but I think

they probably have more up to date stuff! Hope he

gets better soon! Love Liz

Lizz, this made me laugh out loud. I was ALWAYS a purple child. Yes.... I

loved dogs and even though we had one of our own... I would always sneak in

the stray, mangy dogs into my bedroom when my mom was outside. Yes, I loved

them to pieces. Would dress them in my doll clothes or if they were too big

in my cloths. Well, they always had ringworm... and yes, I always got it.

AnD was always painted with Genitan Violet. Would take weeks to wash that

stuff off. LOL Thanks for the memories.
