    It's official. I can't keep up :-(

    Just popping on to see if anyone knows a good natural remedy for my constipated 3 year old. I'm serious, she is in a lot of discomfort and it's never happened before. Sorry to bring the tone down!

    orange juice always worked for mine. Always used to put them in a warm bath too. If nothing else, it helps with the tummy pain.

    Good idea to get something from your GP to keep on hand in case it happens again

    Evening luvlies

    COT glad you've got your appointment through now :)

    Sarahdol75 hope your son's leg is much better tomorrow :)

    Nikki, still got my fingers crossed for Alfie :)

    Don't think this has been mentioned yet, A yard of Wispa scanning at 62p in store at Tosco (Originally found in L%chf%eld extra store). Thanks to the student's fb page. Not tried this myself yet so can't confirm, but if you happen to be out shopping later, worth trying ;)

    Have a good evening peeps :)

    Best to try it on a day when you are not working and then if you are not happy then at least you can wash it straight out.

    It's a few months since I did this one and its a very small bottle, perhaps they have improved the formula. But don't expect it to be The same as the market leader.

    I will thanks for letting me know :)

    I wouldn't do this. Make sure you have 1 (or 2) with the 1/2 price sticker that scans £9.99, by using the self scanner.

    As for demanding DTD ?. I usually wait to be offered, and if offered jtd or refund and repurchase, point out the sign on the wall behind CS.

    You got it, that's what I do do, wait very politely and most of the time they offer dtd without prompting. I don't bother to act suprised when they give me dtd as most of them know me :p but on the odd occasion where they don't offer I refer them to the sign. The most fun is when you hear them say on the phone to the manager ok only if she asks' then when I remind them they're back on the phone 'She's asked' :rotfl:

    I was going to say orange juice as well. I find if I give my monkey any more than one satsuma a day it goes straight through him. X
