JF ha…

i struggle keeping up with everything! MN tends to be an occasional afterthought for me just lately - particularly since I got my new phone which works really well with FB but not with MN!

CP I know exactly what you mean!

JewelFairies · 21/11/2013 21:29

Stoof Mine is the opposite. My phone is fine with mn (via the web page - the app is no good) but refuses to load fb Confused

Feeling happy tonight. I think after a busy week and a really bad three days of asthma last week it get good to do some physical exercise again.

An odd thing at work has blown over (for now) and I have a well received lecture today :)

JewelFairies · 23/11/2013 00:37

CP Hope your asthma improves. Mine's bad right now. Post viral infection (query flu) and too much cold air. If inrush out of the house in the morning I struggle to make it as far as the car.

Just checked on dd2 and she's upside down on top of her duvet Grin.

Mous Any news on your interview?

ClimbingPenguin · 23/11/2013 15:28

The green inhaler didn't really work in the end, turned out I just had a random good night. They have now doubled my brown inhaler to see if that works otherwise next step is tablets apparently.

The annoying part of mine isn't that I have a attack and its over, but for 1 -2 days afterwards any kind of walking across the building or up/downstairs involves a recovery afterwards and me being very short of breath. I have to take my inhaler several times to get through any run as well. Have you been to see anyone about yours?

JewelFairies · 23/11/2013 16:50

The brown inhalers never worked for me but I've been on the powder inhaler (symbicort) for years now which has been brilliant. Although I've also reached the highest strength of that one and also have tablets for nights (singulair). Haven't needed ventolin for years, except after illness like now. It's rotten - hope your asthma stabilises soon. Thanks

ClimbingPenguin · 23/11/2013 17:07

symbicort didn't work for me Grin

but i might try it again

do you think 17,000 words might be too long?

ClimbingPenguin · 23/11/2013 19:20

that's literature survey

LeMousquetaireAnonyme · 23/11/2013 21:15

Shock dd1 has been on singulair! Shock never had asthma though Hmm

Not sure CP! I actually don't remember counting in words! there is so much I don't remember

Hope you can both sort your asthma out.

Tardis just checking! [stargate]
LeMousquetaireAnonyme · 23/11/2013 21:15

Damn still not working!

JewelFairies · 23/11/2013 21:18

Mous It's for allergies rather then asthma so it makes sense.

JewelFairies · 26/11/2013 17:25

dd1's Christmas wish list: 'I want a pink real Furby that moves please'
I had pointed out some Furby key rings and soft toys to her at the weekend, so I think she wanted to make it quite clear that she's after a real one. Cruel mama Grin

ClimbingPenguin · 27/11/2013 20:23

I have decided to get DD a crafty thing, now need to think about DS.

I'll be honest I just don't get Furby's

JewelFairies · 27/11/2013 21:15

CP Neither do I [Grin]

JewelFairies · 27/11/2013 21:15

Er, Grin

LeMousquetaireAnonyme · 28/11/2013 15:23

I don't either Confused

CP ride on? trike? DD2 had a cheap mothercare ride on when she was 10 months, it is still her best toy today! That and DD1 old scoobydoo van that she has managed to inherit and has always coveted.

I have been to the dentist as a semi emergency with DD2. She has been having black teeth Blush All fine, her teeth are very clean, might need a bit of more help for the back ones. It is more green (copper) than black (iron) and the dentist diagnosed staining because of a changed in minerals in the tap water Confused.
I have been flagellating myself for the last week thinking I didn't take care enough of her teeth her
put whip back in the cupboard for next time

JewelFairies · 28/11/2013 20:32

Mous Blimey, do you drink from a well or something? I've never heard of children's teeth going green from tap water!! Shock

LeMousquetaireAnonyme · 29/11/2013 07:55

Well almost it is the village supply (local spring/well/?), that or the neighbour are poisoning us or the chicken farm is releasing crap around Confused.
I have researched Wink and some people (not many) have chromogenic bacteria in their plaque, they are more susceptible to metal variation in the water, food or even just their own blood.
Those bacteria concentrate metals in their little pouch scientific name Wink which makes their colonies dark green/black...
I still need to help her brush more to avoid the plaque. Blush

The good news is people having those bacteria are significantly less susceptible to teeth decay Grin

The dentist did a double take (it wasn't obvious to her Blush) and at least she didn't ask me if Angelique's ate some paint or something. Best of all as she is still under 4 it was free! Nice surprise.

To finish the day in beauty I have had to scoop a lost vole out of the kitchen it is so cuuute, and the HV called to make an appointment (hoping this is about DD2 speech delay even if she said it was to make contact).

Today is not bad either no school (inset) and one my best friend (DD2's oddmother) is coming over...

LeMousquetaireAnonyme · 29/11/2013 16:01

GAhh! Just when you thought you nailed parenting... DD1 has been invited for a sleepover. DD2 has been sobbing and unconsolable for a 1h this morning nothing has happened yet, it is in 2 weeks' time
She wants her sister Confused

JewelFairies · 29/11/2013 17:13

Awwww, bless. dd2 was very brave when dd1 went on a sleepover in August but she was very relieved to have her sister back Grin
