You can buy Skin So Soft direct from the Avon site and it's as cheap as chips. I've been buying it for at about 20 years so it's an old (and best-selling) product. Most definitely works as a mosquito and midge repellant and it's shipped in bulk to by the British Army serving all over the globe.

The best product is the dry skin oil, but personally I supplement this with the bath oil as I have dry skin. This two pronged attack works for me and I never get bitten. I don't think it works for everyone though. Here's a testemonial/discussion:

didn't know where this thread was heading but someone beat me to the wicked witch is dead.


I can fully wholeheartedly endorse SSS (Skin So Soft) as giggirl said, the BEST midge-repellent ever. I heard it was used by the military too but no idea whether thats true...Its sold extensively in the Scottish Highlands, don't buy any others..SSS is all you need.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
