    Mind you food poisoning rarely results in weight gain so you might not have put any weight on.

    Im afraid I did.:o At least 5lbs, but I should lose it soon now Im back to my normal eating (I had bacon and eggs just about every morning and the bacon was swimming in fat!).

    I know how you feel re the kids. The thing that always got me when my kids were having a tantrum in public was the way people looked at you. They look so shocked and disgusted! I used to think "Have you never seen a child cry before?" They all cry and they all have tantrums no matter how well brought up they are!:confused:
  • Hi all. Still no job but I wont give up. Glad you had good Hols Beachbeth. I am hoping to go next year.
    Shaz. Your kids should be OK on a flight as you can strap them in and let them annoy the stewardesses. I once went on a flight where there was this boy who had touretts. He was really funny and quite harmless but a lot of people got upset.

    Sorry BB you have it wrong. the reason they look at you when ones brat is having a tantrum is to see if you resort to violence. This way they can report you to childline or SS.
