  2. you need a sugar hit.... have a teaspoon of straight cordial that should sort them out....works for me :P or http://www.pharmeasy.com.au/healthinformat...ses/hiccups.htm A common condition which involves short, involuntary intakes of breath. What to look for repeated, involuntary short intakes of breath. Hiccups (involuntary spasms of the diaphragm) are usually a minor annoyance and last only for a short time. They can affect anyone, and most pregnant women will tell you that they have even felt their unborn child hiccup in the womb. Causes It is caused by an irritation of the nerves of the diaphragm usually because they have been irritated by indigestion, carbonated drinks or eating too quickly, not chewing the food and swallowing properly. Traditional Treatment Most cases of hiccups will usually only last for a very short time. However there are numerous remedies for this condition. Convention medicine is not needed terribly often, but if a case of hiccups fails to stop after a day, a visit to your Doctor may be a good idea to rule out disease-related causes. Alternative/Natural Treatments Herbal Therapies - To stop the hiccups, herbalists recommend warm chamomile (Matricaria recutita) tea, which is said to act as an antispasmodic agent. Another remedy that may bring relief is a tea combining 1/2 tsp of tinctures of peppermint (Mentha piperita) and boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) with a few drops of cayenne (Capsicum frutescens) and the juice of a quarter lemon in 1 cup hot water.

Dilute the oil in a carrier oil. (see our section on aromatherapy). Personal Care Most doctors believe that high blood levels of carbon dioxide inhibit hiccups, while low levels will aggravate them. Here are some other remidies that may or may not work for you. Place a brown paper bag over your mouth and breathe in and out for a minute or two. You will be breathing in your own carbon dioxide which should help your hiccups. Be sure NEVER to use a plastic bag. Hold your breath and swallow at the same time you feel the urge to hiccup. If your child has the hiccups, tickle him gently while instructing him to hold his breath and not to laugh. Hold your breath and count to ten. Drink a teaspoon of raspberry cordial with no water. When to seek further professional advice your hiccups persist for more than a day; hiccups and fever occur after major surgery in the upper abdomen
  3. why don't you ask for a cash settlement? That way, you get the money, and maybe you can find the panels at somewhere like u-pull-it (or what ever you have up there) that match your colour..... just a thought?
  4. ^^^ did I miss something??? :D
  5. uh, the 2nd exhaust manifold has cracked, the first one had too, and the 2nd one after 14 months, possibly some time earlier, cause who really would take the heat shield off regularly to check it??? No ECU problems (yet - touch wood)
  6. I don't finish work until 7 so I wouldn't be able to get there until about 8.00 - 8.30pm (depending on where we go) and I may have some tag-a-longs :cool: but then I have to work the next day, so would need to leave by 11pm (and I'd need to fit dinner in there somewhere). Lesley :2thumbs:

Then the car started, and I was back to having fun! oh, a delayed OMG I was hammering up the road from blackwood to crafers, and came across an accident, a yellow station wagon possibly a datsun (it had big googly headlights) was lengthways across the road, looks like he was coming down the hill and went into a slide, did 3/4's of a 360 ok so a 270! and his bum was resting on the crash barrier, I reckon I got there within 5 minutes of it happening, everyone was ok. :no2:
