to expect someone to have started a juicy thread at this time in the morning?

[BubbaAndBump]

It's hardly fair is it? I have a boring life, DCs want me to read Dora the fucking explorer (but we've lost all the magnet bits so it's even crappier than normal), so instead I log on to good old MN to give my rather humble opinion nose in on other people's lives, and nobody has bothered to consider me!

Is it too much to ask? Is it?

Why is it controversial to give medised to an 18m old?

think it changed a couple of years ago and it's now not meant to be given to under 6s?? Could be wrong

Oh poop. Just googled it and think you're right (probably why the sell-by-date was so old, as I'll have bought it before the changes were brought in - March 2009 apparently) :(

Damn. Knew I shouldn't have started this thread, then I could have gone on drugging using medised obliviously.

riven, I had exactly the same thing last nite. Maybe its some belated full moon thing.

SPB i will have a proper think and see if i can add anything of more value. Don't the NHS run statistics courses every now and then. Most of the time when I;m doing stats, i program the equations in myself, but I don't use excel

have no idea what medised is

right, am actually off to bed, nite you boring lovely ladies

sorry riven

Poor you and your poor DD Riven. Didn't mean to make light of your situation.

Is there no Oz version of mumsnet you can go on to stalk discuss other people's lives?

Ah Medised... I still give it to my DD (3) as I used it before the guidelines changed and she was fine with it. The guidelines changed from three months to two years; then five years; now six. I went to buy her some Piriteze yesterday and it's the same for that.

Anyway, there have been many threads where it's kicked off re medication.

I think Medised is bloody marvellous (similarly CalCold) and it clears up a blocked nose and cold in record time.

Well if medised's not allowed, then I may well be tomorrow morning - as will desperately :o

Well, I'm regularly on in the wee hours as I live in NZ but, alas, my life is severely lacking gossip at the moment. If I thought I'd get away with lying, I'd make up something juicy but you MNetters are way too canny to fall for that!

No juicy threads, but that is because I decided to be a martyr to the house and not even turn on the PC, till it was clean and tidy!!!!!!

Riv, have you decided to go out and leave the IL to mutter under their breaths to DH?

Coffee and cake are what is prescribed for you youngblady.

arrg * Young Lady*

Let There Be Coffee and Cake for everybody! (and then a bit more cake)

If it's anything like Calpol/Nurofen, think the rules changed because some mums were over medicating for some peace and quiet. Or so the papers claimed.

Can't see it myself. My dd is just as hyper on calpol as she is off it. In fact she's worse as it makes her feel better.

Just googled dry coughs and it looks like an antihistamine is the way to go. I've got Piriton in the Fridge from way back when dd had an allergic reaction.

Hopefully there are no new rules on this.

shoshe Are you trying to make me feel bad. I'm currently sitting in my pigsty of a house, chatting to you lovely ladies with my cup of tea.

OH and ignoring the bits of plastacine currently being trod into the carpet. Darn it, I thought I'd hidden it all.

Hear, hear Bubba.

All I've seen since I got back from me hols yesterday is threads about threads about threads about threads about threads...

Was gonnna post about ds's 'orrible accident that was kind of my fault but it's hardly juicy and I don't really fancy the wrath of MN. I think I know I was being rather unreasonable by letting him ride at 30mph without a helmet. You get the pic.

Mmmm coffee . Good shout.

Ah Des, but I am totally alone

My DS is grown up and married, Dh is at work (he work me going at 5.30, so been up since then)

If you had seen the house after my 4 mindees and another CM's 5 had been here making Robots and making 5 minute Choc cake you would not have been envious

I'm in Oz but alas, it's still too early for wine.

pigsty house - check

bored - check

up at 3.30am - check

dd is nearly 5 months and still having a night feed at that time

oh and my exciting day is taking ds to see if he likes a street dance class and then he has a welcome party at the school he is about to start.
dh is working all weekend

The day will come for you all, when your children have left home, and the house stays tidy, when you come back from being out and it looks the same.

When there is coffee and milk, when you want it.

When a cake stays in the tin for more than a day.

When the toilet roll is always put on the holder, not left on the floor.

When you can eat chocolate in peace, not hiding behind the kitchen door.

When you can wake from sleep naturally.

When time in the bath, is a lazy sojourn, not a hasty dip.

When cbbebies is in the hazy past.

When a book is read will be read in one sitting.

All these things will come to past.
