  • Poor - rather than E45, the DFW option is aqueous cream - you might have to ask a chemist for it as they don't usually have it out on the shelves but it has a similar effect (it's often prescribed for people with excema but you can buy it without prescription, it's just an emollient/ moisturiser like E45) and is MUCH cheaper (so you can save for more handbags ;) )

    Do you know what I don't feel half as bad about buying my dress now I have seen the prices of those bags - mind you I would still want one........
    Sally - I'd get the play house as well and perhaps if you see a bargain PP then get her a small one.

    I just shut my eyes and ears when people suggest websites and go 'la la la' can't hear you!!

    well, week 2 as 'Miss' is nearly upon me , car is packed. Bit of a problem after pulling the ingredients out of the fridge and the bottle of oil I'd put in there for the mayo we are making has gone cloudy (I just shoved everything in a bag)........it's currently 'warming' on the slow cooker lid to get it clear again. Cookery teacher, me???! :rotfl:

    You know I used that years ago, brilliant, thank you for reminding me of it. It doubles nicely as a cleanser too if I recall.

    Hurrah for handbags (but not until AT LEAST after xmas as it is one of my verboten list on the 100 days challenge:rolleyes: )

    It'll be fine come teaching time and if it isn't you can point it out as a 'looks dodgy but is fine'example you made deliberately:p What's on the menu tonight? Apart from mayonnaise?

    One of my friends has asked me to teach her how to cook better (they live on packet stuff mostly or real scottish stodge) and plan so hte freezer is full of stand bys

  • Sally - I am with the others, my niece has loads of PP that were given to her and she says she loves them but I have never seen her touch them, she REALLY loves the independence of her own play house though. You could always keep an eye out on freecycle for a few PP bits if you really feel guilty although quite frankly most kids toys are just cheap plastic crap (is it bad to admit that I get as much fun, if not more, from my niece's Girl's World head than she does??)

  • should be ok by the time I go, it's clearing nicely now.

    It's cheese and potato topped fish pie today. The mayo literally takes 2 minutes - basically chuck in a jug and blitz with a hand blender so i'm hoping we have time to tag it on the end.

    I'm still struggling in my head where to stand to demonstrate as it's a school room and so the teacher normally just 'instructs' rather than demonstrates but I've realised that the reason where I was standing last week didn't work because I am left handed and was standing on a cooker on the 'wrong side' to be able to stir etc and talk to the group whilst facing them. So I'm trying a different cooker tonight - hopefully one with working gas!!

    I'm starting to feel realllllllllllllllllly tired again......3.5 hours since I took the last Day Nurse......I'll see if I can hang on for an hour so it is effective whilst I'm there.
