Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

It might be ear wax. Try some Earex or similar hydrogen peroxide solution for ears. Put the drops in, then lie on your side, ear to the sky. It will tickle and after about 10 seconds it will fizz, it's not unpleasant (in fact it's quite addictive) The more it fizzes, the more wax there is in there.

Don't get too addicted to the drops though, your ears need some wax for a reason. Just not hardened wax.

You don't think an insect has flown in there do you? It's possible?

Ok I have a really weird thing going on with one ear. It feels like there is something moving and making a noise in there. The pitch changes and I am now paranoid.....

Tis only one ear and no pain as such. Comes and goes and feels like something vibrating.

Any ideas?

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]
For a I have nothing to say on this matter face, , type [biscuit]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
