For those stocking up on laundry detergents - I have just noticed on my supermarket that Persil Small&Mighty Non Bio is £5 for big bottle (54 washes). It then works out cheaper per wash than the Fairy one (72 washes = £10 for Fairy vs 104 washes = £10 for Persil)

I can't use Persil, it makes me all rashy

That is not nice, Gilly!!!! I never thought of that - I like Ariel usually, but have no problems with Persil. I have to say that I have never actually used Fairy (only for the dishes!!!) But - I am very tempted to get some Persil/Fairy and I saw they also do a big box of Ariel, but that is bio one, so would be for us, as I think you are not suppose to use biological powder for babies? Or am I remembering wrong?

Even the persil washing up liquid hurts my hands, no idea why

yeah I think it's supposed to be non bio for the kiddies. Wait until you smell the fairy powder, it's such a nice smell. I've washed all my baby clothes in it

We got a 144 wash I think or something similar from Makro for £12!

Hi everyone.

Rant alert!!!!!!

I have had a cough and cold for what feels like the entire duration of my pregnancy now - and I am 24 weeks. Doctor says he can't do anything blah blah blah.

The cold I can cope with, but the cough has now gone to my chest - rung midwife and she has said to get to doctors asap, so am going today at 4:50.

The rant part - everyone at work is getting really really shirty - apparently the sound of me coughing is annoying them all and Ii should do something about it or go off sick, HONESTLY! It's a cough get a grip, oh and remind me next time one of them is ill to make them feel as uncomfortable as possible.

I am now sat here, trying not to cough which is ratteling in my chest and making me feel worse!!! Grrr grrrr grrrr grrrr.

I mean as if I don't want it to go away to!!!!!

Moan over and breath................

snoopy - they are really off the hook! I would ignore and keep coughing if it feels better. Although, when I was a kid, and had bad coughs, doctor did use to suggest to try and suppress the cough, as then there is less irritation and it helps to recover. I am not sure, but sometimes I think it used to help.

Oh Snoopy that isn't good. Hope the doc can sort you out. I had a bad cough and chest at about 9 weeks which needed antibiotics to shift and I felt so much better after the constant hacking had stopped.
How rude people at work are!! I'd just start doing it even more..that's the devil in me

Gillyx

they want you to go off sick with a cough?!? :eek: what a bunch of idiots.

snoopytweety

It's amazing how much better you feel after a rant - and yes I agree they are idiots!

If the doc prescribes anti-biotics won't they hurt the baby??? Not sure what I want from him really, it's hard work being pregnant sometimes!!! x x
