In the mean time wrap an ice cube in a bit of cloth and hold agianst "tingle." Sometimes that's enough to stop it nesting.

I haven't got any ice. We usually buy them in bags here. Would white wine vinegar be any good?

I don't know what they call that in Spain, Sara, or if indeed they use that at all here.

Naomi... The only thing I have in the freezer is some frozen peas.

ok they are just as good. Wrap a small handful in tissue or cloth and hold onto lip. When they defrost start again with new ones. keep doing for hours. Hopes this helps. Works for us. Good luck. :o)

if you google aciclovir and Spain, there are quite a few options. not sure how helpful that is, sorry.

I can post you some tomorrow if you like, but you'll probably be needing it quicker than that.

If I asked for creamo gobbo para lippo, I'd probably get an answer of "No entiendo".

Thanks anyway, Poodi.

NoM...just popped in before going upstairs!!

You seem to have all the answers.

Zovirax is the same name in Spain.

Acyclovir, will get you the same thing.
