Oh JKS hope you feel better soon. FIL is a GP and when I had diarrhoea he told me that Immodium is fine if you just have diarrhoea but if you also have bad cramping, dizziness etc then it is best not to because your body needs to get rid of whatever bacteria is causing it and Immodium stops it doing so, hopefully yours isn't so bad because it does provide a relief!

I was going to say that earlier about the imodium, my mum always tells me to take it and I say no your better to get rid of whatever is making it

Thank you for the respect but it dosen't feel good when you are dangling a lorry engine over dhs head and one wrong move wouldn't be good, I hate when he asks my help I get really nervous but be proud of myself for helping him

Ali your doing well today
Wasting I love new storage too

Anyway dds rash still there but think it is either viral or her meds were increased, so side effect???

Rang docs and no answer so will ring tomorrow to make her appt for blood test

Right
on with dinner
then clear up kitchen
dcs to bed
if dh is still working I will get some more ironing done!

wastingaway · 01/02/2010 18:00

Glad you're feeling better JKS.

Hope DDs rash clears up soon Plum.

We went to a Reading Club activity at the library this afternoon. It was good, with toys, a sticking activity, a story book and then singing. I think we'll make it a regular thing.
Got some good swag at Range too, tupperware, expanding files, mealworm. Love it!
