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.

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

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.
