I've been getting a bit of Hay Fever somedays.
Loratidine has no effect on me , but Cetirizine is much better
I was told some time ago by a friend in the pharm industry (with no vested interest!) that Cetirizine works best for most , though not all people.

Same here! I think I'm finally growing out of my hay fever though, as I've had very few symptoms this year and have only taken 3 tablets so far. smile.gif

I just got a good mark in an essay, which basically means that I got a first overall for my last module. I am relieved rather than happy. I can stop having nightmares. This is not the reaction I should have. I should be thrilled. I don't think I have a talent for happiness.

Well done, lucky! hurrah.gif Don't you have exams this year? Is it all coursework?

Yes, it has fluctuated over the years, although I've always known it as 29028 since my schooldays.



The earliest figure I recall being quoted is 29002 (but then I WAS born the year Hilary and Tenzing "knocked the bu88er off"). 29028 is the one I always hear as "correct".

Bear in mind the Himalayas are still growing.

I had a French exam last Monday (it's English and Related Literature so I have to do a language), but other than French, which only counts for one module, it's assessed by essays. smile.gif Thanks. Now I'll just have to try and keep the motivation going. smile.gif ph34r.gif

When I was doing my GCSEs (well 'O'-levels actually...). I set myself a fairly strict schedule with 40 minutes revision followed by a 20 minute break when I would read, or practice clarinet, or do something else (far fewer distractions in those days), then back to the next chunk of revision. The fact I only had to work for 40 minutes meant it was bearable, the fact that the breaks were "allowed" meant that I enjoyed them and didn't feel guilty.

This is what I did for exam week (internal exams all packed into one week, not hugely important but I'm the sort of person that tries to work for everything...), but even though these exams are more important, I can't seem to get into it. Oh well, will do more work this afternoon, so I'm not doing too badly. yay.gif

I can sympthasise with that-one of the girls at dancing announced she had a boyfriend the other day:she's twelve, so this is perfectly acceptable, but I still think of her as being six or seven like when she first started!

There are a number of people I was at school with who have 8 year olds - with kinda freaks me out because I've only just turned 25.

I waited until I was 31 before I had my first child (I now have three) and even then, not because I was particularly broody. Because I'm the youngest in my family (including cousins etc) I had absolutely no experience with babies, although being a teacher, I knew I liked children at least! Therefore I was totally unprepared for my feelings. It was like a love affair - I couldn't think about anything else. Everybody 's different but I suspect if/when you have a baby you may surprise yourself.

Kids don't do much for me personally - a friend of mine just had a baby daughter and everyone's been around to see her and to have a cuddle - I don't get it at all blink.gif


I love the way people coo around babies saying how "beautiful" they are, when in reality, most of them look pretty ugly and wrinkly IMO! laugh.gif

Sometimes I wish I could be a bass... Especially when they get lines like "do do dn do do dn do do dn do do".

Although to be fair, at the time the altos are singing du du wop du du wop wo wo wo wooo...

Being tenors and sopranos must be so boring.

I looked at that and immediately thought of 'Goodnight, sweetheart' which our choir is singing is this term! You were probably thinking of a completely different song, though! wacko.gif

No! It is Goodnight Sweetheart! I love that it's instantly recognisable. Don't you think the Bass line is the best in that song?

I waited until I was 31 before I had my first child (I now have three) and even then, not because I was particularly broody. Because I'm the youngest in my family (including cousins etc) I had absolutely no experience with babies, although being a teacher, I knew I liked children at least! Therefore I was totally unprepared for my feelings. It was like a love affair - I couldn't think about anything else. Everybody 's different but I suspect if/when you have a baby you may surprise yourself.



Some parents love their babies as soon as they are pregnant, some love them the minute they are born, and some fall in love with them after they are born over a little time. smile.gif

The words tenor and boring should never appear in the same sentence!
