problem 1-put said child into care & sell presents

 

problem 2 - drink lager in big gulps 'til you burp

The second sounds like a plan 

If the shop will accept the return of unwanted gifts, would they also accept the return of the scooter, when grandparents (who live abroad) had unwittingly sent a duplicate gift? Obviously it would be easier for you to return the scooter you bought, rather than send the other one back to the grandparents who live abroad.

There is bound to be a flaw in this suggestion as I am rubbish at lies, even white ones.

or (proper answers)

 

problem 1 - remove a bit of the scooter & say thats how it was when you bought it and youve heard stories of the same thing happening & by not being able to go on his scooter it spoilt his christmas day, hopefully making them feel guilty & replacing with scooter you want

 

problem 2 - drink lager in big gulps 'til you burp

Problem 1 - what Yogi and pirate said 

 

Problem 2: 1 tspn bicarbonate of soda in water .

The shop will take back unwanted gifts ,tell them that the childs Aunt bought the  scotte butso had the childs grandm so you have to return one and exchange it for the right scotter or tell the truth and come to an agreement with the store.

 

If you smoke... stop smoking  ,smoking creates an acid environment.

Bananas act as a natural antacid in the body, so have a Banana.

 

 

Yogi has given good Scooter advice ^^ - I'd go with that.

 

Heartburn ...only one answer ZANTAC - works every single time - 24 hour Asda pharmacy will have it in. Trust me I was plagued for years - discovered Zantac and it was sorted every time - since I stopped drinking only had heartburn once though - wish I could send you mine 

My Mum has given me the tablet that the doctor gave her after the Zantac stopped working for her.

 

I think it's been coz I've drank too much over xmas 

 

We don't even have an Asda handy either 

Yes, I think I will tell them it's a duplicate and that Granny had already had it built up for the wee one on xmas day  If they don't agree to accept the return then I will just have to hope my wee boy eventually learns to like it.  I just hate the thought of the wasted £50

 

Ells. Milk is the last thing you should drink. It takes the stinging away for a very short while, but the lactic acid causes more of the burning and reflux. A short term remedy is the bi carb which has been suggested by Slinki, but if it persists you must see your doctor.

I take 20mg of Omiprazole twice a day for heartburn, but you can only get these from the doc. Zantac is available over the counter, but you can also get gaviscon which is quite good, but "gloopy"

CHILD - of course they'll take it back!!

 

HEARTBURN - Zantac - its a revelation!!!

You made the critical error of slowing down on the drink.

First, I was brought up to be grateful for whatever I was given and would have been scolded heavily for not liking anything that Santa gave me.. However, if a Flickr is safer than the one given, that's a valid reason for exchanging. I would definitely try an exchange, you've nothing to lose but a bit of time and they probably will accept it back anyway Lastly, aw you poor thing I hate heartburn and avoid pasties for that very reason. That Zantac sounds good, go get some and I hope you feel better soon. I dare say that if you've been a bit stressed today, it might have made you feel worse, so I hope you feel relaxed soon x

That's what my Mum gave me

 

I always thought drinking milk helped 

Too spoilt Sweet....I only have myself to blame  He's not overly bothered about it coz it wasn't his main present but I still don't want it to be a waste.

 

Hopefully it can be exchanged, if not then I have nephews that will play with it.

You're a good mother Ells, kids just expect more these days, it's the modern world they live in. I'm sure if my parents had have had more money, they would have treated us more. We were very much loved, protected and happy though so I always enjoyed christmas. How is your heart burn now?

A lot better now thankfully.  When I got up at 6 this morning I got really panicked about having to barf and set myself into a whole state Took a hot flush and my arms went weak....all at the thought of barfing!  I hate it though and end up in tears when I do throw up 

 

ION someone has just drove into the back of my OH's car and he's come in looking like a ghost and shaking...gave him a fright but he's fine.  His wee brother was in the car too and I is fine apart from a sore neck but there's nothing they would be able to do for that anyway so he's just thankful it was nothing worse.
