Go to tesco or don't go to tesco that is the question??

Go to Tesco.. late night shopping is fab

ETA: Have you seen the news story on the right about Clubcard? Now 2 points per £1

Got izzy off to sleep at 9:15 in the end. I made chutney (was meant to be caremelised onion and beetroot today.. wasn't folling a recipe, so it's not quite turned out as planned, but still nice though ). DH has made us posh scrambled eggs on toast, and we have wine too. Luxury!

A couple of weeks ago we had a 'cook and eat' session at Booby Club....where a corner of the room was sectioned off and we all took turns to chop a bit/cook a bit etc to try to promote healthy eating and home cooking - an initiative from the Council which is all very laudable...

...except that we cooked sausage and pasta

They said it was suitable from 7 months - can you give a 7 month old sausage?? I would be worried about the salt content.


I was just flicking through the booklet they gave us and there are 2 tinned tuna dishes (a pasta and a rice stir fry) a veg pasta, pizza, potato wedges (which add salt!), 2 curries and a pilaf (whatever a pilaf is!!!)

Not the healthiest foods!!


And there is a list at the back which defines some words 'that you may not understand'

Chop; Top and Tail; Bring to the Boil; Simmer; Pierce; Defrost; Tbsp; Tsp; Florets; Dice.


Undecided as to whether I praise them for trying or I am scared the whole thing



ETA - what's 'posh' scrambled eggs ladybird?

Just read that tesco article

A family that currently spends £5,000 a year at Tesco would receive 5,000 Clubcard points. These are worth £50 to spend in store or £200 in Rewards vouchers.

:eek:I spent over £5000 in tesco last year!

hey girls.

scruffy -- if you go to tesco - would you look out for the tesco baby event deals for me!?? i was in my local tesco today, and unless I completely imagined it, they didnt have the huggies 9pack wipes for £6 anywhere!! -- who was it that mentioned this? did i miss it or something!??? was very sad when i didnt grab a bargain!
also, didnt get the M&S meal deal today which i wanted too - not a good day all round!

more babyrelated =
Christopher is being bottlefed. He was taking 3oz, yesterday he was unsettled after every feed, so today i upped him to 4oz - was fine, and drained bottles this afternoon this evening at dinner, but now at his last fed at 9, he only took 1 1/2oz and is now FAST asleep!!!!!!!! i couldnt wake him up to make him take the rest, tried all the tricks in the book, changing nappy, taking a layer of clothes off, cleaning his face.....nothing worked. I just dont know what time to guesstimate he will wake again. Oh is out tonight, and i just feel sooooooo tired tonight, btu i dont want to go to bed now, sleep for an hour and have to get up again.
am i moaning....sorry.

another question -- anyone know of a way to stop him gulping his milk!!?? gets him soo windy and then its hard to wind him and he gets a sore little upset tummy and i feel so bad....:(

I suppose a quality sausage would be ok?? more to the point when I was weaning Chris they said something as lumpy as that was only suitable from 9mths

apart from the adding salt they'res nothing wrong with thoses dishes IMO I think also they are aiming at people who eat those things already so it's not scary to someone who doesn't cook.
Pilaf is a rice thing I think

Have you seen any of the bbc3 show young dumb and living off mum? :eek: they would need to look up those words!

Sami_Bee

Carla last time in the baby event only big tesco had the wipes my local average sized one didn't
assuming he's on the slowest flow teats, maybe try diff bottles

ladybirdintheuk

Sorry Carla, no idea here, we are BF all the way, so no idea on bottles.

It was fried veg with eggs scrambled into it. S not that posh really, but very yummy:)

Forgot to say - DH was teaching Izzy to play to bodhran earlier. She was everso pleased when she worked out how to do it

Anyone noticed the pampers sensitive wipes bring your LO's out in a rash? Took me a while to click, as I thought it was her nappies giving her a red bum, but now they have been mostly eliminated, I realised it's the wipes, they are fine for wiping her face/hands, but if I give her bum/upper legs a wipe with them, she breaks out in what looks like a blotchy red rash.

Don't get that problem with the normal ones or the extra sensitive? I think they are extra sensitive, can't remember but they smell loooooovely!

Just had a horrible few hours, she would not even taste the spaghetti, shouting and taking paddys, must admit I lost my temper and sent her to her bed, where I could here her crying and forcing herself to cough, obv trying to make herself sick, I know that trick, did it myself as a kid!

So she's fast asleep now, and hasn't eaten a thing since about 3pm. Great! This morning she woke us up at 4am because she was hungry, so OH made her some food - a bun with chocolate spread? !!!!!!! Oh and I looked at the buns this morning and they were green and furry - Feel sick knowing she probs ate that, he is a douche.
