    Gill, glad I'm not the only one. I thought I was going nuts - mine have been stinky since having Sophie. Weirdly, the right one is always whiffier :huh:
    :rotfl: I might have found my cervix but I've never compared the smell of my armpits.

    Elle, I used to buy my grandmother funky massive underwear in Primark :) It really tickled her to wear zebra print pants to her bladder doctor appointments :rotfl:

    BM - I've been really stinky since having T. I've just changed from amplex to sure 24hr and it's sorted me out completely. It stings when I put it on tho!

    ETA when I went to the 'weaning party' the HV told us that when the babies are on three meals they should ideally only be having milk first thing and in the evening, with possibly a feed middle of the day. She gave us a maximum amount of dairy that they should have (including yoghurts and food made with milk) but I'd need to look it up in the leaflets

    That's interesting because a friend of mine was told her LO wasn't getting enough milk and that she should be having 20oz as well as three meals.

    Sorry, that sounds a bit critical but I really don't mean it that way, just interested that HVs give such different advice. H's milk is still breast milk on the whole so I don't think that counts as dairy, but I never bother to go to the HV anyway so don't know what they advise :rotfl:.

    OMG I just did a test sniff, and while I am not overtly stinky, there's significantly more "natural odour" on the right!

  • Thanks gisi

    Well on the milk front, his milk box says he should have 7 ozs three times a day between 6 and 12 months which he is def getting

    Just had text from brother, he is having another colonoscopy tomorrow he has chrons and it was under control, he even managed to get himself off all meds, then he went to a wedding and got food poisoning from the starter as did 17 other people including the bride, and it's kicked his chrons off again, he is back on meds :( He did get grand compensation from the hotel as did the other who got food poisoning but i feel really sad for him, that it's affected his chrons

  • That is awful for your brother and awful for the bride (and the 16 other people). What was the starter?

    I just did the sniff test and neither side was stinkier than the other :rotfl:.

    My armpits appear to smell the same :rotfl: I use mitchum, I read on the beauty board they changed the ingredients and loads of people arent finding it as effective. I quite fancy trying that sure max 24hr one but its well expensive!

  • Evening all. Just sitting here quetly for a few mins while a certain someone gets over the indignity of being put to bed :rotfl:. Then when she is settled I can start to clatter in the kitchen. I picked our first sweet red pepper today, and I'm going to grill it with some other veg and cook some kale with garlic and things, and have it with some cucumber salad if I can find one that isn't too bitter. I've not had much luck with the last few and keep having to throw them away.

    I can't detect a difference between my armpits, but I'm not at all whiffy today. It is not something it has ever occurred to me to do before ;)

    I wonder if it's possibly...and don't take this the wrong way...a weight thing? I'm about 3 stone heavier these days than I was in uni and I notice a definite underarm difference. Speaking of, I really should get back into my WW, shouldn't I? :o:o
