toottifrootti

Hi polkadot
thanks for the great tips regarding the Bm and buying flour - just what I needed! I will use up the mixes I have and then try aldi & lidls - your a star!:T :T
cant help on the LO eating front as I dont have any - but like someone else said (sorry cant remember who now!) they wont starve and a dish that they know is theirs - like one of their favourite character ones - filled with different bits might help.
My SIL had problems with all 3 being picky but they got there in the end - one of their favs was cocktail sausages (not very healthy but it was a start and not too many in one day!)

toots xx:D

Tag - enjoy your child free day! By the end of next week you might even be quite pleased to see them when they get back from school

Polkadot - I don't work in HR or recruitment, I do software compliance (doesn't make me many friends ), but we have to do our own recruitment and people management with minimal HR input. I also do career mentoring which I find particularly rewarding as most people simply don't sell themselves well enough. I've just had someone finish a development placement in my team - she wants to come back, but I keep having to explain that she needs to look for something different which will challenge her as she can do the job she did for me in her sleep!

Working from home today, so hope to make some progress on my lists - have to clear the backlog from Wednesday :eek:

What colour?

Pigpen, BHS do great trousers in various sizes - I have an 11yo who needs 13-14 yo size and htey do ones that fit at the waist - but aren't too long in their generous fit - don't know if your DS is like mine and needs loads of height and a wide waist? They also do a regular range and one for the other end of the scale I believe. HTH

Thanks Tag, he turned 2 in June. He still keeps trying to come back to his bottles and thats where my biggest problem is. And as yours did, my DF is worried sick about it. He sits at the table with us but mostly plays-DF gets incredibly annoyed and Im always having to remind him he'll be doing more harm yelling at him.

Yeah she used to like her 'botbots' as well and dummies. I got rid of the dummies when she turned 3. Father Christmas took all her dummies and swapped them for presents. Which was remarkably easy. Even when she found one that he had forgotten.:rolleyes:

The bed time bottle went the following Christmas or it might have been Easter can't quite remember TBH, same scenario though. No problems at all.

Does he have much milk during the day then?
