WEST LONDON MEET-UP THREAD - MARCH 2007 (REST OF) - from Acton to Sunbury everybody welcom

[mellow2]

Hi,

Got this started 'cos I think the other thread is going to run out before the end of tomorrow.

Quiche sounds lovely.

have we got to wear party frocks?

Party frock? NO!

Sue - avacado, couscous
COV -
Eleusis - sandwiches (kids), salad (mums)
Paddle -
Nanou -
Foxie - Breast milk (hee hee)

MrsRecycle - how did you get rid of the thrush????? Am on fluconazole and don't think its working

Foxie - the stuff the GP locum gave me was useless. I rang the BFMothers helpline and they had never heard of it for thrush. What they said is that it only gets in through the cracked nips and keeps on getting passed between you and baby so is a vicious circle so you have to treat baby at the sametime. The doctor just gave me the cream and none for ds. They recommended buying daktarot (or something like that) oral gel that is used to treat atheletes foot. I saw it in Superdrug the other day, you can buy it over the counter - I'm off out in a mo I'll have a look for the exact spelling. It contains metronizile (or something like that - my memory is vague) and you must treat ds2' the sametime as yourself.

Also, the other thing that really helped (recommended by Dr Jack Newman) to get rid of the cracked nips was the breast shells (not shields). I've got some I lent to a friend whose stopped bf and I could lend them to you if you want. I really can't talk highly enough of them. I left them on for 24 hours and I was completely healed (yes that quick!).

ele - would love to come but we're off to the caravan Friday night.

Ele, love to come Saturday but have to find something to wear for a friend's wedding. Hate pressure shopping!

MrsR, I'm up for Kew tomorrow - shall we meet at C&C again?

MrsR - Daktarin? I have the cream for my nips and gel for Monti, but its in the ducts too.

Would be interested in the shells - R they for when feeding, or between feeds?

Oh pants, I just went up to dd's bathroom to get something and one of her bl**dy goldfish is floating dead at the top of the tank. I haven't got the guts to tell her right now. Am waiting until dh gets home in half an hour, and hope I can keep her out her room until then .

cut up a carrot and pop it in the tank

LOL trouble is it is actually a black one.

Licourice?

Oh no COV! This happened to a friend of mine once when her DD was about your DD's age. So, she flushed it down the toilet. And her DD got up to use the loo, and came running into the living room declaring the fish was in the toilet... guess it didn't quite flush. And interestingly this child had the same first name as your DD.

Hope you have better luck.

Flush it down the loo and tell her its gone to meet Nemo

Just sent you a text. Did you get it?

Hi ele - thanx - will check in morning as phone off and downstairs and me too tired to walk downstairs ...

MrsR & Quokka - are you still up for Kew? Though it does seem like its going to be rainy today

Foxie I have ele's address if you didn't get it. Do you need anything on Friday?

Ele - got the text thanx.

Sue - I'm on a "kill the candida" diet so what I am eating is limited, so thanx for offering but I'm fine

avocado is fine presumably then?

Yes daktarin foxie! I used the shells in between feeds - in fact I wore them to the Mumsnet Xmas party! They are amazing for healing. I'll ask my friend for them and pop them in the post to you.

Quokka - thank for the lift for df ds! He slept soundly in the car.

Puds - hope your ds managed to take a nap.

Sue - I've been practically living on avocados for the last three days!! (in fact its all I've eaten) as I couldn't think what else to eat when I cut out bread and sugar! Wierdly, I've had massive cravibgs for bread and sweet stuff - apparently a sign of the body fighting candida infection. Or maybe I just like starch and sugar LOL!

My best friend in the playground left the school today - I've been so up my own arse the last three weeks I got her date wrong and thought she wasn't leaving until next week

MrsR - I didn't notice your nipple shells at the Christmas do!

Swee - thanx for the e-mail

Had a fab visit to the doctor this morning. Am self medicating an unlisenced drug for the thrush and had convinced myself at 2am this morning that I was probably killing myself or Monti, but lovely GP was very reassuring and said I was doing the right thing

Wonder how Paddle is doing on her course?

evening all

can't catch up with the thread!

course is going well but it's very hard work. have to leave at 7:15am every morning and not back till 6:30pm.

foxie, sorry to hear you're still doing it tough. also sorry not to have been around this week.

sorry! really would like to see everyone but i really need to learn to do a back carry too.

hello everyone else - hope all's well.

Paddle Hi - glad its all going well and that DH is behaving. You'll realy appreciate DD this weekend though won't you, having been apart all week?

Hello everyone,

I haven't been around as we're launching a new website at work during weekdays and working on building the online shop at weeknights and weekends.

But it's my official last day at work today (I'm coming back for one more day next week) but otherwise I'm done and I could focus on my site.

Foxie,
You're very welcome. Have you seen this info on Kelly;s Mom about thrush and probiotics?

Thrush Resources

Probiotic info

does anyone have an alliance and Leicester account - I'm thinking of changing accounts and you can get £25 for recommending me? Open to west london crew before I throw it open to Mumsnet generally.
