Weezl, this is the recipe I use, only quartered so I have enough for dinner and leftovers but not gallons of the stuff

Amounts are a bit intuitive anyway - adding handfuls of stuff to the blender and tasting as you go along is the most fun way.

sami, if you're about and don't mind and aren't trapped under edgar;), can you have a look at what's in your jars of sacla sun dried tom pasta sauce? I'd love to try and make some for my brother coming for dinner all the way from leicester :j:j. (not the little faffy ingredients like preservatives, blah, blah, just the main ones you can tell me to bog off if you're too tired

I'm feeding right now but I can remember sun dried toms, pine nuts, oil and parmasan (sp?) Eds almost done tho (I think) so if you can wait a bit..

Me too - in the bedroom! (We're so common! :rotfl:)

Not common, fashionable

MOTM, did you ring? I can't believe you haven't been claiming them all this time!

Although I'm annoyed with the tax credit people... When we got married, I rang them the Friday before to tell them but they wouldn't let me tell them until the change occured... So we got married on the Saturday, went on Honeymoon for a week and I called them the Monday we got back... Turns out that they made 2 payments between the wedding and me telling them... Then when they did the calculations for the joint claim, they backdated it to the wedding date and gave us another payment covering those dates... So now I have to pay back £124.05 from nearly a year ago! flaming eejits! Oh well, the girl on the phone said I can arrange to spread the payments if it will make us poor... They can have £2 a week

On the plus side, Caitlyn has had 2 feeds sitting on the sofa... One really good one last night (think she was too tired to care) and one 3min one this morning (before she noticed what was happening I think)

Baby nighties... I bought a couple from Adams when I was pregnant and they are great apart from the sleeves are really skinny and I have to fight her arms into them so it puts me off using them... They were good when she was tiny and pooped in every nappy you put on her...

Elle, Rhys looks sooooooooo cute! Caitlyn's on her side now, rolled over once by accident and I'm waiting for her to do it again...

Anyhoo... Back to my ironing...

D'oh, why didn't I think of that!!!?

Thanks lovely :A

and thanks too to sugarspun :cool:

DH and I plan to spend the morning wean-proofing the kitchen, we have our waterproof mat and antilop chair at the ready, just need to lift our enormous table to get the mat under the legs :eek:

First tastes-wise, Fergie has now had mashed banana, plum and apple puree, hipp organic baby cereal, baby rice...

Thought we might try some veggies next so he doesn't get a sweet tooth! Do your LOs look keen on the foods first time? He doesn't grumble, but he doesn't seem to LOVE them IYSWIM?

Toby has only had tastes of mashed potato, curry and Yop. All by accident! He has a habit of suddenly lunging towards food!

Oh, and past few days he has started sucking his thumb. And only waking twice in the night!

I shall not be on much this weekend, many strawberries to harvest!

AF - often think of you, hope everything is okay. ((hugs)) to you!

OH, decided to ask for a swab for thrush on Tuesday - I've either got very deep set (since his birth!) thrush, or increasingly worse vasospasm. Spoke to two La Leche League ladies, and really can't tell. They are so wonderful though, I think if I reach the criteria, I'll become a LLL Lady later on.

What's the criteria Feely? Is there any BfN groups in your area? They're often doing helper training, there's not really a criteria to do that

Chris never ever got excited about food when that small, it was only when he was chomping things with texture (and Grandma was slipping him chocolate :rolleyes:)
