Mrs T, even at a salmon side, I wouldnt know where to start !! But then I don't cook, thats all Chris in this house

It's easy though take a huge onion, laurel leaf and some pepper corns. Throw in a large oven tray with a large glass of wine and pint of fish or vegetable stock.
Bring to a simmer and leave for 10-15 mins. Throw in half a salmon side and leave for about 10 minutes covered over with a piece of tin foil Bobs your uncle!

Elle - I suppose in her defense, I believe she stated she just started in February (although she's easily in her 30's so I don't believe it's her first HV position, just new in this area), so she may be just being cautious. But there's such a thing as badgering the poor mum to death - and she is definitely guilty of that!

She could be a new HV A friend of mine is training to be a MW at the moment and she's early thirties She wanted a career now the kids are old enough to go to school and so on...

Tine, if it's not in the washing basket then don't wash it

Tempting... Veeeeeery tempting... problem is it makes it's way there in one huge mountain! Well... it made it's way to the top of the stairs in a huge mountain... and I had to move it then because the delivery dudes were delivering my new sofa bed So now it's doing it's mountain range impression on my tiny kitchen floor

I refrained (barely) from pointing out that prior to her arrival, I'd already made breakfast, fed & dressed both boys, washed & sterilised & mixed up bottles for the day, done the washing up, and put on a load of laundry. Hardly "not coping" with everything. Good grief.

Wow triggles you did amazing well to keep calm and you've done way more than I have managed to today. I only have one but I didn't drag myself out of bed till 11 (I was awake earlier but as DS was still asleep I didn't get up) managed to get DS fed and changed, I'm dressed and I had a slice of toast and a cuppa and I'm pooped

how much is the average side of salmon? x

Triggles

NMS - it's just my routine, really. If I don't get as much done as possible in the morning, I don't get anything done LOL ! And Connor (1mo old) has a feed about 5am, and Liam (3yo) gets up about 5:30am, so that's me pretty much up and running for the day. Plus if I get more done right away in the morning, that gives me more time to do some craft/art stuff with Liam or go for walks in the afternoon with the boys. DH takes over from 6pm until 10pm so I can get a nap in on any day I need it - sometimes I take one, sometimes I don't, depending on how I'm feeling.

Well to add to the confusion over how "old" Rhys actually is, Boots seems to have him down as a month old?! :rolleyes:

I got the same e-mail from Boots this am and Alex is 8 weeks on Monday. Still younger than Rhys though :rotfl:

Go Triggles! [If there was an American 'whoop whoop' icon thingy I'd add it here. You know, the funny circular arms thing they do?!]

With pom poms?

Triggles

Ok, the pom poms are alright, but no short cheerleader skirts - I may be back in my prepregancy jeans, but I am soooooo not ready for short skirts!! LOL
