thank you chunky79,
i don't mean to snap but after 16 months no one can tell me why my child won't eat, she has been seen my a pead and now we are under a dietican, all full of fab advice but no of it so far has worked. for breakfast the lo has cheddar cheese, i have tried every thing possible but she just won't eat.
its worse this week as dd1 is home and of course there's no reason why she should miss out on pudding.
i guess i'm coming across as i miserable old bag and i guess thats what i am! i try so hard but just fail hence why i'm here i can't even keep my home tidy.
thanks again. x
Morning all
Catching up with you all before work and had to post rather than just read.
NF I didn't mean to upset you at all, I wasn't aware of the issues your LO has and was merely commenting on what happens in this house.
There is a girl who lives close by who went through a phase when she was about 5 of only eating ham sandwiches for EVERY meal! Her parents were concerned about the nutritional (or lack of it) content of her diet and took her to the GP. He asked if she was otherwise healthy, yes, does she get enough exercise, yes, don't worry she will grow out of it. She did grow out of it out not for almost another year. Now she is a teen ager who eats all sortsThe main message the GP gave was as long as they are eating they will be ok.
Miss A is so excited, she is off to work with me, get her 'uniform' sorted, the lotwill finish catching up later.

Morning all,
I have managed to get some order into the house last night - though DD2 had been round all afternoon while I was at work gettiing some of the heavier work done for me (I have a really bad back at the moment - can hardly put my own socks on:eek:)
So I helped with the non bending down stuff when I got home.
I'm hoping the sun comes out for this afternoon as there's to be a photo-shoot in my front garden:D
Will let you know how I get on.....0 -

DW emptied, breakfast eaten, so I now need to shower, pack my stuff up and head into the office for a morning of meetings, followed by the dentist, and then come home and prepare for today's telephone interview! It'll be nice if I actually get to meet some of these people!0 -

Ok that's my updated list - DD did actually clear up the kitchen and cooked tea yesterday - good thing really as I was shattered after work.
I have just realised that I am going on holiday wiith DD on Monday and I have not organised anything - not clothes/ not money/not travel plans/nothing........ oh hum i think I have been so concerned with Mum's potential move that I have put it out of my head.
