i meant to ask -- any of you use a slow cooker (i know im being silly asking this!!!!) ....... my real question is, i seen one today in asda, for £7 -- do they all do the same thing?? you guys think it would be ok for my first one, just incase i end up not liking it and not using it!???

The asda one is good, but worth getting a bigger one if you like to batch cook. We have a lovely 6 litre one (which I have an embarrassing story about )

Oh just got back from the park with Keira, he was telling me some little boy spat ON Keira and then told her she smelled like poop, so she started crying, so OH told him he was ugly, and he started crying.....

He's a bully!

Well done your OH - I'd have upended the child in dogsh!t.

Who smells like poop now, stenchboy?

weezl, I wasn't sick at all until 18wks (just felt it from 8-16wks!).. there's time yet

Back from Asda, obviously.. Now got three big boxes of nappies and a massive stockpile of wipes so some are going in the loft for a while! So much for my shopping for the end of the month thing last weekend - just come back with more food, as well as the milk and fresh stuff we went for :rolleyes: Did get reduced yoghurts though so I'm going to OD on those for the next few days (will it do my milk supply any good? )

Just finishing the last of the RR with a cuppa now as there's no room for it in the fridge anymore..

Ok:o:D

Important information at start of the story: My very large slo-cooker is made by the company 'Bush'. And people often refer to stuff by the name of the manufacturer... 'My dyson' for example?

It was at an office 'do' with my boss, bosses boss etc, and it was in that awkward chit chatty bit at the beginning. An extravert colleague had heard about my 50p a day challenge and was asking me all about it. She'd just asked if I didn't find it all such a hassle and faff with the batch cooking. And then there was one of those lulls that just strikes, just as I uttered the unfortunate but now infamous:

'oh no, I owe my success entirely to my enormous Bush!'

I went to asda too.
I got 2x pack of quorn sausages for 50p each thats 1/3 normal price :j
I got my friend a big box of nappies too coz she doesn't have a car and has a very temperamental DD that is a bit of a nighmare :rolleyes:
I managed to forget hairspray and loo roll :eek:(it's ok we have 4 rolls left)
and they didn't have any sudafed refills grrr!

Oh, meant to say, I picked up the Baby Essentials Bounty bag whilst at Asda. It's got samples from Cow&Gate (x4), Hipp (x2), Persil (x2), Comfort (x1 plus a muslin) and Cif (x1), plus money off vouchers and other leaflets too

Also bought Mother & Baby magazine with a free Annabel Karmel recipe book so that's my evening's reading sorted out

ETA: Oh and I saw a very brave/daring lady with a baby in a travel system pram, plus a 2/3 year old, plus a massive trolley packed full of huge boxes of nappies and usual shopping, pushing it all round on her own and yelling after the toddler.. _pale_ I can barely manage a full trolley on my own!
