Just thinking of the rags I've got stored (yep, my mum did it, I do it - old sheets etc) I've got some very lightweight ones, almost like muslin, that might well have the same effect. ...

Thanks Daylen, thats a good point, about the density of the material ... when I *am* up to experimenting, I'll make a note of it.

I was actually thinking of replacing the cotton wool, in a bug-in situation - old clothes, that sort of thing? Any f/b on that? Ta muchly for your response.

Approved Foods :D 10p a go :D along with the nit combs I mentioned at 3 for 99p .... AF are a seriously excellent source of cheap preps, but you have to check their stock regularly - a quick look right now and I can see 415g tins of butterbeans, 3 for 99p, 800g tins of tomato puree 3 for 99p, 1250g ...

I was just wondering about iodine recently. Thanks for the heads-up. Also, the nit combs sound a good idea. You're welcome! **blushes** it was only 25ml, but even several dressings don't actually use much. As for the nit combs - I'd previously walked around a big Boots store, and made a list of wha...
