I was in town with my Mum today and decided to go into Montezumas to check out their vegan chocolate, I've never been inside before as it looks expensive. Well it is quite expensive, but the chocolates all handmade and some of them are labelled vegan so I thought Id try a small bar, just in the name of research of course I brought the Orangutang bar which is dark chocolate with a hint of orange. I have to say it is the nicest chocolate I have ever had, even better than the dairy stuff, for a treat it is worth every penny .
:EasterBun

Have just been on the website. http://www.montezumas.co.uk/truffles/showitem.asp?&r=3&g=3&i=1086&pg=1
I now want chocolate.

I've heard chocolate makes all the bloating better.

I've just made that up, but doesn't it sound good :j

RE: Mooncup, gotcha on that one, I'm just going back on the Pill after a couple of months off so I might be haywire too, but unlikely. Suep, are we synced?

haha yeah i was like that with my first but i got one last month... after a heavy expressing session haha.
I'd like to do it longer but don't know how much longer I can do it as baby is teething arrrgh he keeps using me as a teether!
His brother was the same but I stropped feeding him when he cut his first tooth and bit me ouch!
BUT i'd reccomend bfeeding to anyone and everyone i love it and it's so easy... after the first few days.

Hiya Joyful, nice to have you back. I think Animal aid are in Chelmsford to campaign against the horse racing, I read something about it on the website last night, they are holding a funeral for all the horses that have died there, it's shocking how many.

No Ill be honest I havn't ordered a mooncup as Im a bit concerced about how it will affect my interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome. I've recently been having a problem with urine retention and cant even wear a tampax when I need to go, sorry tmi :eek: I might go back on the website and ask them what they think.

Yes Id love Murrell to come shopping with me too, I have to take my reading glasses as I cant read the tiny print on the back of packets and I cant see to walk with the glasses on so it takes me twice as long to shop lately.

Hiya, my DD is still feeding at 9 months and with 6 teeth, it's getting more uncomfortable as time goes on but I'm determined to do a year! Don't know if it helps at all but how I got past the biting stage was to scream! he he. When she had 2 teeth she bit me, not really hard but enough, so I decided to nip it in the bud and screamed quite loudly! She pulled off and looked at me quite confused, then bit me again harder- little monkey! I screamed louder and I think it really shocked her! She hasn't intentionally bit me since (approx 4 months!) However as I said before it does seem to get more uncomfortable with each tooth, mainly latching on and pulling off.

You prob tried it, but I used to get this all the time, until somebody told me to drink as much water as you physically can, I drank about 6-7 pints a day for 2 days and it cleared up straight away. Also as I then made sure I drank a min of 4 pints a day thereafter I have never had it back!! (fingers crossed!) Also regarding mooncup, not sure if it would irritate in the same way, as it sit's very differently to a tampon and IMO is much more comfortable, though asking on the website would be a good idea as there is bound to be someone in a similar situation who knows.
