    snaggles - last time my dd had conjunctivitis i took her to chemist (docs were also shut)- she said doc wouldn't give her anything other than a script for salt water type thing and that doing your own was just as good - you could phone nhs 24 to check but thats what i do

    Morning!

    I'm still in pyjamas, Natasha has been up half the night, and then woke up at 6am freaking out because her eyes were completely glued together by conjunctivitis.

    I've bathed them, and they're looking a bit better, but why are they always ill when the doctors isn't open? :o

    Not sure what we are up to today, but the sun is out and I really need to get outside and work off the chocolate I ate yesterday!

    Thanks - it sounds gross but I've been doing it with breastmilk (sorry, TMI!). Apparently it really helps because it's soothing and sterile. She's full of a cold too, and her temperature shoots up every few hours (in between doses of Calpol). She's laughing at Ryan at the moment though, so she must be feeling sort-of okay when she's fully dosed up.
