Eczema

As I posted about yesterday, I had a visit to the doctors – little man had one right after me.  For a while now he has had a sore, dry, red patch on his left cheek, and it’s just started appearing on his right one too. It very occasionally appears elsewhere on his body. Some days it’s very bright, others you can barely see it.

Well my wishes came true: Crisps! I love crisps. These are a new pesto & mozzarella flavour, I haven’t got around to trying them yet but I think I’m going to tonight. The crackers I’m going to try some sprinkled over a potato & bacon casserole like Jessi suggested, and then the rest I will snack on! I had the hazelnut bar of chocolate last night – yum! I’m looking forward …
