The downside of having a website for my business

I've recently started 'work' again. I love my boy, but I can't stare at his beautiful face ALL the time. I also love my work and I worked hard to start my business, and I don't want it to just fade away now that I have another priority . I feel I can do both :-) happily, with the help of Jermina.

So this brings me to some strange e-mails that I get from 'potential clients'. First off, the language was in the same style as those e-mails requesting you to help pay some poor chap whose funds are tied up overseas. You know the ones written by Nigerian scam operators. (I can't believe some people fall for this stuff).

Now am I just displaying overtly cautious behaviour or do you smell a rat too?

"Kevin is my good friend and a real estate agent.. He is a good friend indeed and have really been of good help. He presently has the key to the house and will hand over the key to you for the decorations to enable you have a clear picture of the project before commencing but i will make a deposit to enable you round up arrangement to visit the project site and get back to me with accurate estimate/detail of what to do"

This 'client' wanted to know whether it was okay if I accept credit cards as he is on an oil rig and moving to SA with his family who is in Aus. I've NEVER had a client who blatantly wants to 'brag' about the house/that it is paid for (why do I care?) and talk about paying me before I've even briefed them.

So I'm interested, if this is genuine, I've already said No, but if it wasn't, how would I have been had? I can only guess they would have paid me a large sum of money and then something goes wrong and I have to pay them back. But none of the money is genuine... except for mine.

Cradle cap cures?

David has a bad case of this flaky dandruff. That's how it started out but now it is forming little red ridges and crusts. I don't know if I've made it worse by softening with oil and then scraping off with a fine comb? To me it looks less like cradle cap and more like psorriasis, which I suffer from. I've decided to leave it for a while and see if it improves on it's own. Baby clinic staff told me to use Betadine Shampoo or some mild cortisone application. I could not get any cortisone as the pharmacist said I need a script nor could I find the special shampoo at Clicks... but would like to try it. That brings me to the question of how often should I be washing his hair?
