Oh mamma it will be snow next .
Take Vitamin supplements as you will need them with all the stress you are under. As for us ..Planning to spend time with my parents as diddn't manage it in October. Take dd to baby gym , meet father Christmas , take her to run on the beach in wellies hat scarf etc . Take her to a mini its sort of a farm zoo and finish shopping !!! Saw the book you were after on Amazon did you buy it ?

I've been taking supplements with zinc vit c and a fro a year now, to build immune system (and I think it works!).
Haven't bought the book yet, but I will, I think he'll like it. There are so many books I'd like to buy before going, however there is an English bookshop in Milan, which is good

I want to try the Cebion( sp) = it is zinc , Vit c and Echinachea which I think is good . Have a second hand bookshop here that takes back books for Euro2 or 2 and you can buy second hand books for about Euro 6...High but still cheaper than full price new they wer selling the new Harry Potter for Euro 28 ! I find that Amazon if I really want something but try to block order. I love book shops but I need space and time in them I hate being crowded in them when I want to browse!!
Just tried to order my photobox stuff and it wont let me use the discount !

Yes, Cebion is supposed to be very good. On of my dearest friend used to take it when stressed during the exams at Universita'. He;d offer them as if they were chewing gum .
I'm highly tempted by photobox too...

The publicita for this Cebion is to disolve in a glass that I am not keen on I hate those fizzing things like Aspirina Blugh... Have e mailed photobox I want my discount its about £6 off ... DH now snuffling on sofa think he has dd's bug . took pic of dd in her cuffa ( as she calls it) just have to find cable to download onto PC.

yes, I'm not keen on medicine solubili as well. I'm pretty sure they were "masticabili" in the early 90s...
I want to see your dd with cuffa!

OP posts:
Rosa · 02/12/2007 21:02

I can remember Vit C being masticabile they used to make my cheeks go all 'fuzzy' ..Am now trying to get stocking fillers but teh site is so slow tonight might give up and go to bed . Have finished book and have 2 trashy books to read ( no brain required)..Can't find the camera cable.....I had it yesterday !

Evening all. Just got back from a weekend at lago Maggiore and managed to do something to my back so am in pain. Couple that with my sore throat and I'm a total wreck. Ah, l'invecchiamento.....

Rosa, I'll be back on the 23rd, I found easyjet flights which cost less than a week earlier so snapped up tickets for all 3. If DP doesn't come then I'll change the dates and use it for someone else. I haven't yet told him that we're going and felt a bit guilty today as he was talking about getting a tree in for DD (we're not really tree or decorations people).

Rosa · 02/12/2007 21:29

Heck if you are going the 23rd then get the tree anyway...She will love it. DD loves them and she has only seen 2 up so far in shops and they are tappe fixed ( oh you have to be Ital English to understand that !!)when we go out as are the lights on the ferramenta.. Sorry about your back ..Try a wheat sack and nurofen ! For the Gola Propoli or Golamed spray !
I like Maggiore used to work near there and then went yearly for work don't know how many years. Dh suffering ( cold) and its tarde so must go ...notte notte

Ciao, we woke up this morning at 7.45, half an hour later ds's school rang us, is ds poorly? no why? Is he coming to school then? it was 9.20, not 8.20 as we thought .
I'm a terrible mother...
Brangelina, the most effective way of fighting maldischiena is Aulin I think, though I'm not sure ou can take it while b/feeding.
I feel so tired, no energy, and can't find the strength to do what should be done, uffa!

rosa i am not sure if you are trying to conceive, if you are I think supplements with echinacea are not recommended.
photobox is very good i think.

OP posts:
hotHELL · 03/12/2007 12:25

yep it's true, i guess it is true for all untested supplements.

Rosa · 03/12/2007 12:41

Not right now hot but maybe in the new year ish if dh can be persuaded we agreed next year sometime but 12 months is a long sometime !!!! did not know that about Echnacea..But will remember thanks.
Franca ok so you are a terrible mother-NOT it happens and how nice of the school to call !!

PippiCalzelunghe · 03/12/2007 12:54

ciao a tutte. what is photobox? going to google it now.

I am feeling quite empty, not in a bad way, just super relaxed and dopey. that's why I have not been her that much. I don't know, it's hard to explain.

PippiCalzelunghe · 03/12/2007 13:09

Rosa · 03/12/2007 13:15

I think photobox is great, I might "fix" motherinlaw...
Yes, the school is utterly lovely, I wish I could take it with us .

PippiCalzelunghe · 03/12/2007 13:48

I'm not feeling well. Gosh, I'm boring, I'm really sorry. dd cried this morning, she said she is sad of leaving the house all alone .
sorry, I really must stop being so noiosa .
Is it a long business this photobox then?

OP posts:
Rosa · 03/12/2007 14:18

It is long when they wont answer the effin phone... I can't get the discount. I don't know why. I did all my albums , picture etc and then went to check out and they said no. So went back logged in via Mumsnet and they still said no. E mailed no answer and tried calling.. As DH is paying its his details in the billing bit and its my log in so that might be the problem !! The longest bit is teh uploading of the photos I loved playing round with them and sorting them !!
Mini Rosa ...mmmmm Not straight away but don't worry I will make sure you will all be informed....!
Franca it must be so hard for you and your dc and how cute you dd saying the house will be alone ..It wont as it has the trees and flowers to keep it company.
