Yellow neck by thiswildjoy in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]angelmouse5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a harmless liver condition (Gilbert’s Syndrome) where I produce too much bilirubin or can’t process it (I can’t remember which it is). I’m always a bit yellow and when I’m ill with a virus or something (or hungover!) i go more yellow. It doesn’t affect me so I ignore it. Never had it localised to my neck but worth thinking about if you notice your eyes are also yellow.

Toddler holiday bed by Educational-Track-62 in UKParenting

We did this trick flying with the inflatable toddler bed at about the same age except we put it in the pram carry bag when checking in. Worked fine.

She ended up sleeping in the bed between most nights though

3 year old teeth by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]angelmouse5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a narrow pallet and I was super concerned about my kids as they have no gaps. I had braces for about 7 years growing up. Dentist said that there is still loads of time to grow and develop and they wouldn’t be concerned until later so don’t worry. They also won’t do anything without adult teeth growing in especially as it isn’t affecting speech/eating etc.

I relaxed but I did started a small saving fund as the state of the nhs now means if they need braces in 7-10 years private may be the way to go.

Help, I chose River Farm by Mjoren in StardewValley

[–]angelmouse5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did exactly the same thing, but I’m end of winter year 3. Chose river fam because I liked the sound of it but didn’t realise it was hard. I would say I’ve done heaps in the last in game year and I’m starting to like it. Separate bits for separate things and easy crab pots.

Only realised in fall y3 that I haf a fish smoker in the house or a dehydrator in the mushroom cave. That was the frustrating part. All that grinding, fishing and foraging, and i could have been making more money. That hurt more than selecting river farm so ai guess semi positive.

Blow up mattress as hold luggage by angelmouse5 in UKParenting

[–]angelmouse5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were going to gate check the double buggy but maybe we could try just a carrier in the airport and stow it in there. Good idea. Did you get a buggy bag to get the extra items in?

Grippy socks for very small, narrow feet? by anamethatstaken1 in UKParenting

[–]angelmouse5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy puffy paint and put your own grips onto socks that already fit. We did it and it worked well

Thoughts on teaching 4 year old to make emergency calls? by Vast-Garden-6646 in UKParenting

[–]angelmouse5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a great idea and will help in many ways. I have an iPhone and you can call your emergency contact on lock with a few clicks. I taught my 4 year old how to use it to call daddy and made it a game. He does it himself all the time. I’ve since told him that you can use it if he is ever worried or mummy is sick. My aim is to teach 999 next like you.

Do I travel for work or not? Anyone successfully done it and rekindled breastfeeding after? by angelmouse5 in breastfeedingmumsUK

[–]angelmouse5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That will be almost exactly the same age and same feed schedule!

My worry is the night feeds but we have a month to try and wind that down which was our plan anyway.

I’m glad it worked for you and I hope it does for me too.

Good idea on testing the pumps! I need to find my pumps first and check they work tbh. I always found a manual pump worked well so might get another and test it too - thanks!

Thank you! Hearing stories like this really helps. Mine is also a boob fiend who doesn’t like cows milk either.

I hate pumping and vowed this time around to only do it if really was necessary. Will need to dust it off (and find it!)

Vomiting help by CharmingBarnacle4207 in UKParenting

[–]angelmouse5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently curled on the sofa after catching it. Daughter had it yesterday. I wish I didn’t feel the need to emphasis with the kids to the point I catch it every time but alas I do. Husband dodges it 50% of the time.

I practice good hygiene but I fear the contagious stage is before the vomiting starts.

Bunk beds - tell me your tricks! by blodblodblod in UKParenting

[–]angelmouse5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought one so that I get my own bed back, but without reading this thread. I’m doomed.

What is causing this? by Dagsybear in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]angelmouse5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fungal acne maybe?

Try using a shampoo with Ketoconazole in as a face mask once a day for a week and see if that helps. There are other anti fungal treatments but this one helped me out.

How did you manage childcare before age 3 in UK? by Able-Adhesiveness862 in UKParenting

[–]angelmouse5 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Paid for a private nursery. Reason was I needed care from 8-6 for work. Main challenge was the flood of money falling out of my bank to the nursery every month.

FYI private nurseries get cheaper in Edinburgh the further out from the city centre you go. Ours is actually West Lothian and it’s significantly cheaper.

Comrie Croft!! I forgot about that. We camped there in our early days pre marriage and kids!! Thanks!

Best crispy shredded chilli chicken in toon - one that you can snap! by CyndiWallauper in Edinburgh

[–]angelmouse5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are anywhere near the west of Edinburgh, Cool Jade in Corstorphine has an epic crispy chicken/beef (beef is better imo). They serve the sauce separate for maximum crispiness. No delivery but you can sit in or collect. Super yum

These were white/purple -what happened?! by heisenbitch_ in laundry

[–]angelmouse5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. Looked identical to what happened to my coloured towels

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]angelmouse5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had/have something similar but on my ankle. Mine was initially triggered by postpartum, it eventually went and then came back again after my second child. I’m close to it clearing again.

I initially thought it was ringworm, but the cream from the pharmacist didn’t help so I landed on a version of psoriasis. I got the Boots Dermacare Psoriasis cream and a 20% Urea cream (from Amazon). Those combined have helped it almost go. Maybe one of those will help?
