Here is one we've used for many years: http://www.coop-du-nyonsais.fr/boutique/autres.php Many thanks for that. You can't imagine how timely it is just now. A friend of ours, who lives in France, came to stay bringing me three bars of the olive oil soap that she knows I love. I'm halfway through the last one! The proverbial soap crisis; we know it well. Glad to help! Was looking around the site for some mention of shipping conditions, I guess I'll have to call. Bag-in-box for oil is a very clever thing, but heavy. Oil from this coop is some of the best in France, very mild flavoured. Rather dear, though. I see there's a shower gel there as well. Lavender soap is also nice and has the added property that it repels nits; whenever there's an outbreak at school we also apply lavender oil to the children (which the girl thinks nice but the boy objects to.) -E Shame they're not at the age when boys think it's nice to wear something girls find attractive. ;-) I can't say nits are a problem with us personally but now we're in the grandparent stakes, one never knows! They'll be there all too soon. Which will bring it's own set of problems, no doubt more troublesome than nits... :) Meanwhile, happy grandparenting! -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies Questions about wine?

I caught them once from one of the children and I've never run to a chemist so fast in my life - it was in the back end of beyond on some small Greek island, too! Scabies are worse.

Other uses for olive oil
I have lots of stainless steel in my kitchen (oven, extractor hood, hob etc)
and use a drop of olive oil and a soft cloth to clean/polish it. It brings it up beautifully. The tip was given to me by the man who sold us our kitchen a few years ago Mel.

It turned out to have originated from a French kid, whose family denied she had it. One of the things that used to annoy us when our children were small was the parents who denied their children had nits and so went on infecting and re-infecting the whole class. One friend of ours became so angry at his daughter being sent home 3 or 4 times with a 'note from Matron' about her head lice that he went to the school and had a stand up row with the headmaster, threatening to report the whole place to Public Health. I seem to remember that resulted in regular inspections by a 'nit nurse' which should have been the action in the first place. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

Made a note of that; I've just re-done the kitchen (the hard way: fire), and She Who Should be Obeyed (the relationship hasn't reached "Must" yet, but heading that way rapidly) lobbied successfully for brushed stainless. I pushed for "garden blotchy dun," but was overruled by the most effective, "If you want me to move in...." I'll try that before the next visit, especially around the handles of the French door freezer drawer in the bottom fridge.
