dh thinks the former

me, the latter

those pipette things just don't cut the mustard (or suck the snot)

Ooooh I love picking snot out of babies noses!

Those snot extractor things aren't great though I have to say.

But well done!!

TigerFeet · 14/09/2007 14:37

I have used my little finger to scrape bogeys out of dd's nose, caught sick in my hands etc etc but thankfully have never had to do that

bet ds feels better for it!

lilibet · 14/09/2007 14:37

Picking snot is one thing - sucking it is another!!!!

WideWebWitch · 14/09/2007 14:45

that is GROSS what's wrong with a tissue?

ledodgy · 14/09/2007 14:47

I use a snot sucker it's a green one from woolworths that came in a set and it works a treat. We had one from Boots before that which was rubbish.

NoBiggy · 14/09/2007 14:51

I've got a cheapy snot-sucker, works well, unlike the pricey one which didn't manage to get anything.

Needs must I suppose. Someone told me it's common practise in France.
