We pretty much always cook from scratch as (a) we're too tight to buy ready made stuff or takeaways and (b) I never think they taste that great anyway. We have a drawer full of recipes torn from magazines and while I can't say I enjoy cooking, luckily OH does so we take turns, depending who's in from work first. The kids are all good eaters and pretty much eat anything we serve but we have had several children for tea who "only eat chicken nuggets" or "only eat pizza" according to their parents. What, every night? We also have a child at school who only brings chocolate coated items in his pack lunch, despite the fact that they aren't supposed to bring chocolate at all. Apparently all he eats is chocolate, crisps and chips. He's a scrawny little thing as well but the rest of his family are, errm, fairly well padded.

You should but your torn out recipes in a cheap photo album you know the kind that have sticky pages with a cellophane layer over(wipe clean;)), my MIL has one that is actually made for recipies but they are about 4 times as much as a photo album so I've got the MSE option.
I hate it when parents label their kids a fussy easters when they are actually just lazy parents:mad:
Chris can be a bit picky with some things but how many 2yr olds do you know that will happily sit and much their way through a bowl of lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, peppers and carrot? ...
...well now u know one more http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2208213&l=3a269a0c3d&id=541141775

I find it so funny when kids swear. It must be a nightmare trying to keep a straight face. I remember my friend's 3 yr old telling me she was "f****d off with Peppa Pig-I just had to LOL.

:rotfl:I usually get f*****d off with Daddy Pig - I swear he is actually !!!!!!!:p

I do get embarressed when chris will come out with something and my mum says "where on earth have you heard that?!" and I'm stood there trying to look innocent:o
Worst was recently I took some games to cex to trade in and told OH about it and Chris then spent 3 days telling everyone "Mummy go cex":eek: God knows what they thought of that!!


oh and healthy start vouchers someone said on another thread that their neighbour managed to use them to pay for cigarettes :eek: at least pizza is a food!

It also really bugs me when I see poor punctuation and grammar, especially text talk but also when people use apostrophes when they don't need to (such as in plurals!) or write things like "could of" instead of "could have". Anal, who me?

you must hate my posts then, my punctuation is all over the place, i either use too much or too little! lol

Huge excitement at school today as we got a signed photo of Ant and Dec in the post (not out of the blue - when I had Y5 and 6 at the end of last year I got them to write to celebrities in the last week). All the staff (and some parents) were fighting over it but it's currently residing in my laptop bag (alongside the signed David Tennant pic we got a couple of weeks ago) until I pass it onto the child who wrote to them.

i think you will find i wrote that letter... just pop him in the post to me and i *promise* i wont lick him when he arrives... (much)

oh and on a topical subject ladies, my primary school best mate is a journalist now but also writes a funny blog thing for her paper...
confessions of a slummy mummy anyone?

Ours are in an old teaching file (very MSE as I didn't pay for it!) in poly pockets.

:rotfl:

My Mam looks after Charlotte when I'm working and she says "oh sh*t" a lot

The other day my husband dropped a screwdriver and said "oh" and then stopped himself before saying anything rude, so Charlotte looked at him and said "oh sh*t Daddy"

Oh today has been a right mucking fuddle, things going wrong, husband's who don't get me and kids with permanent tantrums and a cat with the sulks.

On another note (and here starts the list):-

1. Sami B you look very neat and tidy for 34 weeks, you are definitely all bump and no weight, IYKNWIM. Can't believe your 34 weeks, June always seemed so far away, not less than 6 weeks. Trust me that Chris will settle down before new bub is born, its transitional and you might need to start limiting his sleep to an hour or so at set time everyday to kick start him. Or do it everyother day which i'm now doing with Jack. Toad Mode I call it!!

2. Sami B i'm jealous of your hair, all straight and glossy and I bet its naturally like that. I however have been blessed with wavy sticky out hair, that needs staightners on a good day! Don't get me started on damp misty rainy days.

3. Anyone that manages to get up, dressed, straightened hair AND makeup deserves a medal and of course get out for the school run. Any straightening after 10am doesn't count as you've had extra time!

4. LWSC sorry is can't remember the letters in order, but in answer to the losec ? Molly didn't get constipated but I was and still am a little bit a firm believer of prunes. With Jack I soaked prunes overnight and strained the juice into his bottle as he was on gaviscon. Never ever constipated. And with Molly I cheated and just bought sunmaid prune juice and froze it on portions, lasted in fridge for 2 weeks at a time. She has 5ml a day in a bottle. Now she's firmly on solids I soak prunes overnight and puree them down in their juice. I spoon feed them as a desert or snack, but you could blend in other fruits or porridge/weetabix. I was the inventor of prune poos don't you know??

4. Is Molly the only 14 month old with 2 teeth, its driving me crazy. How come she can eat her meals with just a knife and fork through them and finger food, yet refuses fruit in chunks. As far as she is concerned fruit is pureed and off a spoon, I seriously despair of that girl. But as long as she's eating fruit, i still do it as I am frightened she'll lose the taste and she'll stop eating it later on, so I keep on pureeing.

6. As Miss Molly doesn't DO breakfast cereals, baby, toddler or otherwise, I have invented the Molly Moo Breakfast Munch. Basically apple, pear in a lot of natural juice with blended porridge oats all blended together to make a oaty fruit breakfast. I don't know what is wrong with weetabix or porridge but in her world I DON'T DO IT. Honestly i don't want to breed fussy kids but they've got to eat someething at breakfast haven't they. At least its healthy.

7. I do feel broody and want another one but DH says Absolutely Not. In a rational moment I agree, irrationally transcribes as a mean nasty ****, it would only take a minute of your time (omitting the next 20 years that follow).

8. LuT, had a laugh at Imogen's "Dinky" episode, but thanks so much, i've been wondering what to call Miss Molly's bits for a while now, haven't really favoured the conventional names, they either seems too clinical for a toddler or have me cracking up, neither of which ideal. I'll remember that for a few months time.

9. My money saving tip is get yourselves down to Tesco. Huggies 4+ nappies superdry 54 pack at £5.98, £1 less than tesco own brand and £3 less than pampers for the same amount of nappies. I exchanged packs of pampers for huggies today and got given £6 back for the privildge. Have dragged out my 4 remaining packs to do the same tomorrow and then I can buy more huggies with the profit. I am sure its a price error, but it has to be done!! Its not even an offer.

10. Sorry if my numbers have gone out of sink, i've not re read and i've my hurry up boots on this eve, hubbie due home soon and we need to talk.

Nite all (for now!)

And can we please stop talking so much, i know its inbuilt and part of our make up as females and mothers, but seriously, 3 pages in one afternoon, we'll be overtaking ourselves very soon!

LOL.

Edit to say, SamiB that pic of Chris on facebook is lovely. You have one very gorg boy there, i'd be worrying in a few years time!! Wouldn't it be lovely if no.2 resembles his brother in a likeness way. I'm so glad Molly and Jack do, even strangers can tell they are related. I must post an up to date pic. My avator is about a year old or more now.

Please can someone enlighten me what ROTFL means, a hazard guess is "Roll over to Floor Level?".

Thanks, there is another one that i can't figure, but can't think right now what it is.
