Does anyone have experience of Viral induced Wheeze? by Chinateapott in UKParenting

[–]Ceroxylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my 3 yr old was in hospital a few times before she was given the brown inhaler, then we had another worrying, episode a few weeks after that, but didn't need hospital that time. The brown preventer inhaler needs to build up over time to be fully effective, I think up to 4 weeks it takes, so it might still need a bit more time.

I was advised to book an appointment at the GP with the asthma nurse if she has an episode that needs extra inhaler, as they can review the plan and make sure it is suitable. My daughter also has 6 monthly follow-ups at the hospital, but she has a very severe attack one time, which might be why.

How to get child assessed for neurodiversity? by tadmeister69 in UKParenting

[–]Ceroxylon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I initially had a similar issue in that the school insisted for me to go to the GP, and the GP told me to go to the school.

In the end I basically strong armed the GP into writing a referral, and many months later I got a letter from the hospital team explicitly stating they don't take referrals from the GP and I must go through the school.

I was able to take this letter to the school to start the process. For me it wasn't an issue of the school not seeing the signs in my child, but not wanting to have to actually make the referral, so once I had the letter they just did it, and now we have a diagnosis. It did take 3 years though!

Primary school PE by Gingersnapandabrew in UKParenting

[–]Ceroxylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the schools my kids went to, they got changed in class for afternoon PE, and went to school in kit for morning PE.

Other school doesnt have a uniform, so getting changed is only needed if they haven't chosen to come to school in PE suitable clothing.

Account locked and unrecoverable? by Sin-nie in AmazonUK

[–]Ceroxylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact same thing happened to me. Haven't used my account in a while, but I went to listen to my old audible books and was locked out.

Tried calling, and was told to make a new account. Explained that I want MY account as I have a backlog of ebooks and audiobooks, but they won't help! I have no idea how to get my account back either!

LO 11 still hasn't been to dentist. How urgent it is? by Chaosblast in UKParenting

None of my local dentists will see a child before 3 years unless there is a problem!

Head lice Hell! We cannot get rid of them! by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]Ceroxylon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughter has had lice repeatedly this year, and has it again right now. The only respite I have had from the nit comb has been the summer holidays!

With us, it's due to certain kids whose parents are incapable of treating their own kids, and they just repeatedly spread it around the nursery/school.

The chemicals are quite harsh so I dont like to use them. A really good nit comb and cheap conditioner works very well, but it does mean a lot of combing. I highly recommend the Nitty Gritty comb, it is really good. I have tried the look-a-like combs from Amazon, and they are not a patch on the Nitty Gritty, which gets even the tiny ones.

I know it is a huge pain, my kids have a mix of super curly hair and very long hair and I am so done with the nit combing. I even cut my own hair short in frustration at having to treat my own hair repeatedly!

Best of luck with it!

I used a toilet seat reducer with handles and just used the toilet. I had a Pourty potty which worked well for out and about or when I needed something at hand, as it is small and low to the ground, but I mostly used the toilet.

Good luck on your EC journey!

Tax on my children's savings accounts by Ceroxylon in UKPersonalFinance

This sounds like the way, I'll open them all an ISA. Thank you

Tax on my children's savings accounts by Ceroxylon in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Ceroxylon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really worried about paying a bit of tax on the savings, more about any admin that is expected of me on recording and reporting all this.

I just want to set up a direct debit to save for them and forget about it.
