We had some lovely responses to our creepy-crawly competition last month. The following are a few honourable mentions, along with our winner.
- Sonia was embarrassed as a child to find nits in her hair at the dinner table.
- Nits found a home in Yvonne’s son’s woolly hat while they were skiing.
- Caitlyn’s mum swore by cat flea treatment to eradicate nits.
- Jenny caught nits from Santa’s beard!
This month’s winner: Catherine Stringer
