Poor Cerys, I hope she feels better soon.

I had it about the age of 5 but I don't have any scars so I think my mum must have super glued me to the bed to stop me scratching

I love the comment under that picture - "oh no!"

dont know if your rember lucky star but when we were kids we had chicken pox parties then all the kids in the nieghbour hood would come down and we all get them together and all over and done with as kids,only i didnt get them,and one of the mothers wouldnt take her 12 kids to the chicken pox party,wel you guessed it my best friend at the time was kara and was number 7 in the 12 brood,wel the day i got them i rember like yesterday,we were playing barbies and dressing up well i had a head ache and maureen the mom gave me tablets and a drink and i lay on her sofa,well later the next day the spots came out,well all of her kids got the pox and a=she was furious,but later realised it werent my fault and forgive me.

Wasn't it Brundogs' little one who had it recently on here too?

Perhaps it's catching on Dogsey? lol

You need to get a big box of bicarbonate of soda from a chemist (bigger than those in supermarkets) and put it in her bath water with no soap. It eases the itching so much.

I had chicken pox when I was 15 and it was hell, far better if you have it when little.

My son was about 4, coz I can remember taking him to see Toy Story as he wasn't allowed at nursery.

It was Brundogs Luca.....

Thanks for that Becky - I hadn't seen that. Poor Luca's younger than Carys.

Bicarb - does that really work?

WOW! I looked it up!

Bicarb in the bath works wonders -keep the bath on the cooler side but it dries the spots up great and takes the itch out -hope she feels better soon xx

Okay I asked OH to do the bicarb bath while I took Loki out for his walk,.

He couldn't find the bicarb so he used baking powder!

Oh bless, what can you do with them?

Men, that is, lol

Well I wouldn't mind but said he used it because it contains bicarb but he didn't put it on her hair because it was baking powder.

Work that out!
