Ugh! Forgot to mention that the day after I stepped on a bumble bee and got stung on my right instep I did it again but this time it was my left big toe. Neither are painful but they are itching more now than when it happened. I inspected the sites before I got out of bed and they are slightly redder than the surrounding skin. It's quite annoying and made it harder to get to sleep last night.

Does anyone know how long this takes to fade away? Is there likely to be anything at the chemist that I can apply to reduce it?

I arrived at the bus stop in Glenrothes about twenty minutes early so I wandered in to the Kingdom Shopping Centre. On the way I noticed a Salvation Army charity shop that I hadn't seen before because it was around a corner.

Went in and had a look around. Found a size 38 (European size, UK size 10 think) grey miniskirt that was a bit shorter than usual. I was about to sigh and leave it on rail when I realized that it looked wider than most of that nominal size. Took it to the changing room and tried it on. It fits perfectly. Sizing of clothes is idiotic. Why not just mark them with the critical dimensions?
