yes its the 14s in asda that you get 3 for £5, it does not see the quavers so thinks you paid £7 for 2 packets.

Are the Walkers a 14 pack or a 12 pack please? I can only find the 12`s on msm

Morning all.
Hope everyone is well.

Another sleepless night in my house. My poor little man has been up all night coughing and sneezing. I've given him calpol, ibroprofin liquid and cough mixture and really don't know what else I can give him. His little throat must be really sore from all the coughing. Does anyone have any natural remedies I could try?

My decorator is yet again not here today. Apparently he's broken his finger. :mad: sounds like a loads of pants to me :mad:





Lol, the only time I will share my wine is if the bottle is open and we are chucking it down our necks I could defo do with a wine glitch I have no wine in the house at all. I find it quite upsetting :eek::rotfl:




That's Sod's law you didn't pick any up. If you have a heat pad try and use that on it or failing that a hot shower will give it a bit of relief. Hope you don't suffer for long with it hun x

Hi, I know it's already been mentioned, but I also use honey when my little ones have a sore throat and cough. In mix a spoonful in with there porridge and it has worked wonders.
I also use olbas oil for little noses... Not as strong as the adult one and is especially formulated for children. Hth and you and your little one get some sleep and feel better soon.


My bs order also got cancelled....it was my first glitch and first ever bs order:( I got an email offering 40% off but on top cash back there's a code for spend £20 get back £10.. That sounds a bit better so no Thankyou bs!!

Just thought, have you tried tilting your little ones cot/ bed higher where there head goes with towels under the bed feet or beneath the mattress this might help with the constent coughing as its the phlegm that causes the cough usually. If they are sleeping more upright than flat it helps the phlegm drain away quicker... Too much info but couldn't think of another way to describe it!! That's what I was told to do when my little one had a bad cough and chest infection following chicken pox when he was only 7 months old.

Does anyone know if there are any vouchers that come with the £5 Aldi voucher in the mirror today (I know I could go to the shop and get a paper but I am still recovering from my op so am allowed to be lazy!)

Thanks

Just to say to the FB group I think I will stick to this one instead. I now understand what posters on here mean about it.

Try a good quality honey in warm milk, cooled for the LO, it has amazing healing properties and you can't do any harm with a natural remedy, also if it's congestion that making him cough try a vapour plug in , I have the sudafed one.:)

I'll was a little unsure if honey was safe to give to him. I'll give it a go, thank you x

When working in a doctors surgery I was always told that honey was best for children's coughs. I now swear by it for my little one.

If local honey, it can also help with building a resistance to hayfever/allergies.

Thank you as well, we can get hold of local honey do ill pop out and get some x

Afternoon all :wave:

Big hugs to Logie and TS x




This sounds bonkers but it worked on my 2yo last week - it was recommended to me by a friend and I was sceptical but desperate...it worked!
Put some vaporub on the soles of his feet at bedtime, put some socks on and it should stop the cough. Like I say, it worked on my DS. I used tesco cheapo vaporub btw (of course!)
Google it, there's loads of stuff on mumsnet/the internet in general. HTH.

Worth a try.

Mad but funny enough a friend text me exactly told me to do the exact same thing. Lol, defo worth a bash. Huge thanks x

I think there is a problem with the walkers on msm... the walkers 12 pack classic show as 3 for £5 at Asda, but when you click on the 3 for £5 to see what else is in the offer, it brings up a list of 3 for 2........ very strange. Anyone else getting this?

Can anyone help me with a quickie price porkie question? I have a porkie resulting from a womble (£4 :eek:). Do I need to present the original receipt when I give it in at a manned till, or can I just give them the porkie? Haven't done it in aaaages... Thanks x

When I did one last week they didnt have the receipt. said the vouchers can only scan once so they dont need them. x
