Hi karlie88,


I took out the life insurance. My 4th DD went out recently. No sign of giftcards yet. What about you?

:hello:

I sent a 'complaint' as people on HUKD were saying that they were getting responses about gift cards coming through after the 5th payments (despite T&Cs stating after 4th payment).

Lo and behold...gift card arrived today. It seems I'm one of the 1st to get it.

It's really common in kids LFAB, all mine have had it. I know it's YUK but it's not you or anything you've done. The over the counter stuff you can buy works well. Cut her nails as short as you can and bark at her if you see her with her fingers in her mouth

I say that in hindsight. I also freaked out at the time........:o

That's what worries me because she's a thumb sucker :eek: and has been since she was tiny so she takes no notice of me when I tell her to get her hands away from her mouth. I'm trying not to think about it too much and encourage hand washing and what not.

Ah the joys of parenthood :rotfl:

Me and a friend found we had threadworms after a children's party....buffet food:eek: I'm too greedy for my own good.

Kids.....and food :eek: I arrived early to pick DD up from a cookery club when she was smaller. 10 kids with their mucky hands all over a big ball of cookie dough, snot and slaver in abundance :eek:, kids scratching bits and putting their hands back in the dough :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:

.......the dog enjoyed the cookies that she brought home :rotfl:

I'm a bit of a germ freak these days (that's down to a thing that happened to me though, that was a bad experience) and am particular about all the stuff you mention.

BUT growing up, in my early years at least, I was fed milk, straight from the cow. Not pasteurised, filtered or anything else. My nan used to go and get jugs of it from a nearby farm. :eek: obviously I never died, and as far as I know no harm ever came of it.

It does make you think about things though. I think sometimes, we have been conditioned to worry about stuff more than we need to. I worry about germs.....the type that can make you ill. I don't, however, worry about eating a carrot that Ive grown myself and added a bit of chicken poop to, to help it grow better. Maybe we all think too much!

Ah... carrot juice!!!:D:D:j

On, er, Crunchy Nut cornflakes:(:(:rotfl::rotfl:.

No seriously, though, that was the suggestion other places came up with (as an alternative to use) on searching for blood in milk! (Trying to keep the calcium and good things you see.) Milk straight from the cow is quite risky though - I'm not going with that! I am a little more hypochrondriacal(:D) about things these days, though fortunately I've calmed down on that in the last couple of years. Remember we used to put sandwiches, with meat on them, in our lunchboxes for school and we never put them in a fridge all day did we? - we did have them left out in our lunchbox for over two hours!! These more recent health scares and health advice - you can take it too literally sometimes:D. I think some of the problem is that our modern society is actually too clean sometimes - and we are in more danger of not having a little bit of dirt around for our immune systems to develop to protect against it! A lil' bit of dirt occasionally does us good in that respect.
