Does anyone have any proven methods for stopping mosquito bites from itching? A few of them are now massive and I scratched two of them so hard that I bruised the skin beside them.
All this because I put insect repellent on my arms and neck for my zoo based Christmas party but didn't think about the exposed skin from my ripped jeans and they had a FEAST.

So I've been looking for a low (er) sugar teriyaki sauce for ages and found this. Taste isn't too bad. Definitely not the cheapest though. Yes I know I could make my own sauce but I'm too lazy.
Annnd I have the worst buyer’s remorse… The level of it is a surprise. I haven’t not bought wanted not needed items before, but this…
(There is a little bit more to it which I think blew it up. I somehow bought the wrong side (there is L/R and I clearly stated which side when I arrived) and no one picked it up, including myself until I got home.)
I think it’s because I wasn’t 100% and I overrode myself. I’m also usually super fussy as hell and was a blasé.
Lesson learned. I should have stayed with my gut.
Can you exchange it?
We’ll try today. Downside is that it wasn’t immaculate when I took it and I didn’t think to actually ask, which is not like me. And if I had of, it would have been picked up.
It’s not 100% the end of the world, but it’s definitely a downer.
Got my socks wet on my way to work this morning and they've still not dried even though I've stuck of to the loo to try dry them under the hand dryer a million times.
This Conference isn’t a patch on last year’s. Let us see if day 2 improves…
