Itchy Scritchy Scratchy

I can't belive it! It never happened when I was at school. Managed to get through my entire schooldays without a single nit. Now I'm sitting here with some stinking stuff on my hair which has to stay on it for 12 hours waiting for it to be dry enough to go to bed.
My delightful daughter, who has long hair and has to be held down to get it brushed - has nits. the Bees Nees is to blame of course - although I suppose it could be the Girls Brigade. She's always hugging her lovely friends and all that hair is bound to just beckon to little nits looking for a new home.
Well, if brushing Iona's hair is difficult - you should have seen my attempt to put this lotion on and get a nit comb though it. I haven't even told her what it's for because she would have gone totally mad and shrieked hysterically. She merely thinks that we are making her hair extra healthy and killing germs.
Sam on the other hand keeps trying to get me to nit comb his hair because he loves it. Luckily he seems to have escaped as does Alan. But Mummy was called into her bedroom a couple of nights ago and the rest is history.
My what a host of nit products are on the market. You can even buy an elecric nit comb now that appears to electrocute the little blighters as you comb. The nit comb that we purchased today was an eye watering £9.99, but purports to be an all singing and dancing nit remover.
This is were I wish that I had lovely fine hair that the comb went through with ease. Sadly my thick and wiry Crystaltips -Like hair has been almost removed by the roots this evening and oh how I am looking forward to sleeping with this delightful odour permeating the room.
Ho hum. Let's hope it works.
