Hello forum mums (and Dads?)


I'm not sure how many of you were planning to head down today, but...er...don't. Unfortunately today's session has had to be cancelled- my son has been up all night (not kidding) coughing and we're both exhausted and unwell (in his case).


Big apologies- there will be a notice on the door in any case, explaining this. We'll resume as normal next week :)


On another note, does anyone else have a baby that seems to have been constantly ill since October? Two rounds of antibiotics, an inhaler, truckloads of baby olbas oil and karvol and room vaporisers and tixylix have done...not much. Tired of this now...

You have my complete sympathy - I have a 5 year old who has been ill since the week before Christmas (and I seem to be getting everything she gets too!) Proper full on flu, then a crampy stomach bug thing last week and now a hacking cough and a tight chest and wheeziness. Off to the doctor this morning. Somehow my 2 year old is avoiding it all!

Hi Fuscia,


We did end up in Kings last Saturday- he had a chest infection and was prescribed a course of anti-biotics. Seemed to work nicely- within 36 hours he was well again. This time, no wheezing, clear snot, and a tickly cough.No temperature. He does have asthma (like moi) so it seems that any sniffle always turns into major dramas.


However, I am starting to get worried about his immune system or potential allergies. My sister had leukaemia as a child and it started off like this D: (constant colds etc- she had one for about 4 months on/off as well as other symptoms, not to alarm anyone with a snotty child) With this in mind, we have made an appointment AGAIN with the GP. For next Thursday. REALLY must change GP as a matter of urgency.

My little girl has been on and off ill with colds, coughs etc since November as well. She was better for a while when we were away in sunny Egypt and then coming back she had hand, foot and mouth, followed by a snotty horrid cold and a lingering cough as well as the usual teething ills. Since going back to work just before Christmas I have never managed to spend 3 days at work and have been up most nights. We had a good week last week and she seemed to be sleeping through again although she is still hacking with the cough. Last night she was up from 3:30 - 5:30 (teeth I think) uuugghhh.


She has excema on her cheeks which has been awful most of the winter as well and a runny eye which we are waiting for a referral to Kings. I have been back and forth to the GP constantly but they have just said that the coughs take a long time to go away. Now I am sick with the cold.


Okay moan over. I think that it is normal especially if they spend time with other children. I feel your pain though.

Hi Ruth sorry to hear Seb is ill again, poor little man. I posted a few weeks ago because my toddler has been experiencing the same for months thread


Sorry not any real advice, just some similar stories and my sympathies. Re:cough my little girl has just about *touches wood* got rid of hers. It was waking her up at night for about a month :( Not what you want to hear I know, but just as I was about to consider night time asthma it stopped. After doing some reading I purchased a cool mist humidifier for her room. I was about to use it when the coughing stopped, but I read lots of good reviews. Might be worth getting one to see if it helps? They are also great in general for any coughs, illness when sleeping at night. x

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
