Minikatsu had a cough/cold/running nose from October till March last year, poor boy. But poor us too, because everything he got we got too, only worse. Last week he had a cold with horrible blocked nose etc and just as he's got over it, he now has a phlegmy chesty cough.


*sigh* Is this it? Coughs/colds/aches etc until it's spring again?


Colleagues have told me that it gradually gets better as kids get better at fighting off the bugs, but basically it's going to be like this till he's 5 or 6. Aaargghhh. Please someone tell me it's not true....

read somewhere once that 75% of all colds in the world are had by the under 5's - going by that you'll have a few more years yet - sorry!


On the plus side, he'll have built up lots of antibodies to fight against bugs.


I remember always being snuffly when I was a child and rarely get colds/never get taken that ill with them now.

Cannot believe the amount of snot in my life! Horrible at the best of times but particularly awful when it is the really thick, yellow stuff which my two seem very prone to. How can such small beings produce such massive amounts...and HUGE bogies with it?!! I seem to be continually wiping noses, and now understand a good friends comment that a true Mummy always has a tissue tucked into her bra!


My 6 year old is a bit better these days, but still seems to get quite a lot of colds I'm sorry to say. Things did improve for a while but then starting school brings a whole new bug fest, and believe me, colds will seem a breeze once you start to discover the joys of nits, impetigo, threadworm, roundworm and the like - each time you get a "there has been an outbreak of XXX in your child's class" letter coming home with them you break out in a cold sweat. Thankfully we haven't actually had all of those things, but just finding out about them is bad enough. Ah the glorious ignorance of pre parenthood.


At least Buggie will be well informed I guess! Is that a good or bad thing though? Hmmm

      What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!

      if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
