Sacha, olive oil soap is very nice for the skin, also. 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!

Urgh, nits! They make me shudder. 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!

Meanwhile, happy grandparenting!

Thanks. I'm compiling my Granny's Boasting Book (I've been given two) as we

No need to apologise. I like a good massage - not one of your namby

as a work-out session without the effort.

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

Perhaps you could get them to do house calls next time!

Poor family! We all caught it. 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.

Must give that a try. My fridge and cooker are both brushed stainless

Perhaps next time you will not bother with the clothes, save all that
washing!

Sacha, I have asked my husband to comment here as heart disease and
fatty acids are his subject, I know that he is known, throughout the
World, as an Expert on Omerga 3 oils. Hence his comments below and he
has warned me, he will charge if I do this again!!!


Ok, Edward here, Judith's husband. From my research in the late 1980'
early 90's, with regard to your comments on olive oil, I believe this
is accurate .

Omega 3 oils work fom the inside out. Olive oil is not that rich in w3
but is superbly balanced in respect of w3/w6 and therefore should
achieve the objective.

Thank you, Edward! I shall start taking some every day, too, or at least
dunk some bread in a good splodge of it. I can't say I understand the
chemistry but those southern Med people must have been doing something
right
and you clearly know all about it. What I don't understand is these new
and
apparently sudden, claims that eggs contain Omega 3. All eggs, or only
from
hens fed a special diet? I read Judith's 'reference' for you and felt a
strong and instantaneous twinge of guilt as I recalled the bacon sandwich
I
had for breakfast!

What did you do with it once you had recalled it?

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.
