Ciao Brange. (I'm not sick btw, so it's safe to talk to me! ) LOL at you neglecting your 'tache. Have you been forgetting to wax the ends?

I get a lot of mouth ulcers. What you want is s'thing called Anbesol. No idea if you can get it in Italy, though. Stings like buggery when you put it on, but it does clear them up and takes away the pain.

Actually Ellbell is there an over the counter thing you can buy in the UK to treat nausea? (sorry, ignore me if this troubles you)

Brangelina's baffi

Ellbell · 03/11/2007 22:28

Oh god, franca, I wouldn't know. I am too busy hiding from the world if I/someone near me is nauseous. But I do know that you can get those copper bands that you can use to treat sea-sickness (they press on pressure points or something). And when I was pg (and feeling nauseous, but not sick, thankfully) ginger worked for me. Ginger tea. Ginger biscuits. Anything with ginger in.

Ellbell · 03/11/2007 22:28

There is also a homeopathic thing called nux vomica (I know, I know, gross name) which some people swear by.

Brangelina · 03/11/2007 22:30

Ooh Franca, there was this wonderful stuff I got given when I had a nasty bout when DD was tiny. Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember what it was called (amdren/malandren something perhaps?) but it was this soluble tablet thing that dissolved on your tongue, so you didn't have to drink it down and worry about throwing it up again. Sorry, I haven't helped at all have I?

Brangelina · 03/11/2007 22:31

Lol at the baffi! Mine is actually longer and hanging down in dreds which I have to pin up when eating.

Nux vomica is supposed to be good but I haven't tried it myself.

I'm sure your dd can't possibly have baffi yet.

just a tiny bit. I'm already feeling guilty for passing on the genes...

Your poor dd! [smug blonde emoticon]

Actually dd2 has a little baffettino (?) because she fell when she was about 3 and cut her lip open really badly and it had to be stitched in hospital. The doctor was really good (and desperately hunky... but sadly I was not looking my best with dd blood and tears all over me!) and you can hardly see the scar, but when it's really hot or really cold it sort of stands out and then she has a little white baffo (only on one side though).

Brangelina · 03/11/2007 22:43

Yea, my DD has baffi already if you really squint. And a monobrow. And really hairy legs. ATM she is blondish but that's not going to last, poor thing.

oh poor dd, Ellbell ( I do tend to find doctors quite hunky as well... I even ehm flirt with them ... in my own way, which is not flirty at all iyswim...)
right, I should go to bed, here's to our baffi!!!! good night ladies...

OP posts:
Ellbell · 03/11/2007 22:57

Doctor had to witness me giving dd a lecture because there was a female medical student in the room too and dd insisted she had to be a nurse not a doctor because 'only men can be doctors, not ladies' . God knows where she got that from!

I have to go to bed. Didn't get much sleep last night. A presto!

PippiCalzelunghe · 04/11/2007 11:33

LOL at all of you and your baffi.

PippiCalzelunghe · 04/11/2007 11:38

BTW: guess where DH is????? honestly!!!! I am glad I am with you next weekend so not to witness this pathetic middle life crisis show and that we are off to PG next week. If he manages to tear himself off his beloved construction site that is. While I have crushes for lecturers and you lot for doctors DH seem to have one for builders by the way he haqs been looking at them doing the brickwork!!!
Am I telling myself something here that I refuse to see????

PippiCalzelunghe · 04/11/2007 11:39

oh i want to buy myself some biker boots. seen any good ones?

francagoestohollywood · 04/11/2007 11:45

Apparently Gap's biker boots are all the rage at the moment. Seen them on lots of editoriali di moda (esp nel magazine del guardian). otherwise Belstaff makes nice biker boots, but expensive.
We were supposed to go to a family outing but dd and I still feel rubbish so stayed at home. Had a row with dh

OP posts:
PippiCalzelunghe · 04/11/2007 11:50

I've seen the gap ones as well on the guardian week in week out but when went to the shop was not impressed tbh.

what was the row about? are you okay now?

Would be very odd if I had crushes on lecturers... (though all my students have huge crushes on one of my colleagues... including some of the boys, I think!).

Pippi... the way things are going, I may see you in PG. Looks like I may have to get out there in questi giorni. [Can't really discuss why on here, though, but you might guess.] I will recognise you by your calze, eh?
