Probs get lynched for this but I really find babies boring! After 6 months they have a little personality and it gets sooooo much better, but I just remember clock watching all day waiting for OH to come home so I could have someone to chat too.

See Alice used to spend so long feeding etc. I didn't have time to be bored. The first six months, she averaged 2.89 hours a day of feeding and a feed used to take twice as long as the time she actually fed because of all the trips to the toilet so that was almost six hours a day just doing that.

hiya MFD :hello:

Hi sweetie

I am keeping my eye on you - just don't see you much these days.


Anyone want my crabby baby? I thought staying in the house today was a good thing but now I am thinking that he might not be so horrible if he had some other things to look at

What's wrong with the house Sami? You can swap with me, only thing is, Christopher and Edgar must never run or make ANY noise at all, you must put up with the beetle infestation, also the chav upstairs that sings karaoke until 3am (Spandeu ballet will never sound the same :mad:) accept the fact that once a month you will have to climb 8 flights of stairs because both lifts will be broken at the same time, listen to noisy students screaming at all hours because the dorms are nearby, bagpipes at 6am from the terratorial army, feral children everywhere, and be prepared to evacuate your house on Christmas day as someone always sets the bin rooms on fire - Christmas boxes + paper + everything else = Big fat fire at St ninians court!

We have a deal

Whats a homebuyer man?

ooh you make your place sound so wonderful :rotfl:
My house is crap is the short answer OH bought it when he was 19yo so it was the ignorance of youth I have to remind myself to focus on how fab it was that he was able to buy a house at that age! Our house is damp, cold, is also bug infested, is in the middle of 2 empty houses that add to the cold and damp, next door but 1 to a pub so I can't hang washng out because it would stink of smoke, need I go on?..

homebuyerman is a company that will buy any house unser any circs. Only downside is they don't give you the full market value, so I hope sami isn't forced down that route

me too!

Sami, we're in pretty much the same boat as you with the house... I love the house, only 2 bedrooms but the rooms are massive and the kitchen looks pretty... But with the half life that live across the road and the scum that resides next door, there's no chance we'd sell... There's an estate just been built up the road that has "full market value part exchange" But the cheapest 3 bedroom house is £219,000! :eek:
...

it's pants isn't it, we want to move closer to the good schools and family but a remotely decent 3 bed is around £150k, we'd be lucky to get £70k for ours

You should get D to try chilli made with the colemans sauce mix its actually too mild for my liking and I'm a total light weight, when I make fajitas I use the mild spice mix by old el paso but I use only half a pack - see wuss

I meant to ask the other day when you were talking about cows milk, whats wrong with giving a babe under 1 semi skimmed? if ive no whole milk in i sometimes use our semi skimmed in mash ect for jasmine, x

It's more important for young children to have a high fat diet because they have small stomachs and need more energy. I imagine the presence of fat soluble vitamins may be a factor too.

JM susan is correct its due to needing fat and the vitamin content but it's not dangerous to use a bit of semi in mash on ocasion
the most important thing is that they are not given semi skimmed regulary as a drink/on cereal etc until after they're 2yo

well that's a big post!

Why not read the packet and then do your own? That way you can get it just how you like it and it's cheaper too.

Glad you pointed that out - I meant to say that but forgot.

You're talking about a man who threw up halfway through a KORMA!!!

Honestly, there's no chance of getting him to try curry ever again... <sob> And I've got a discovery fajita kit to make that I've promised him won't be spicy, we'll have it with loads of sour cream and cheese etc... But it's never a good night to have it...:rolleyes:

Mfd, if you want to go out, we're heading to a booby group in Walsall town centre in a min... It's on 1:30ish till 3ish... Gimme a text if you fancy it and I'll meet you somewhere...

Saved some bacon from last nights fried rice and was going to have a sneaky butty for lunch... No bread! Whisked up some eggs and had it in an omlette with some cheese... Ooh it was yummy yummerson!!!

You've obviously been looking at the wrong curries.

My_Fathers_Daughter

Sami - millions of indians (never mind brits!) would disagree


Thanks for the offer Krystal but Benjamin is not up to meeting his public today! We will probably just pop down to Bentley Bridge and take in Boots and Hobbycraft

MIL is supposed to be picking Benjamin up from the CM tomorrow and I am incredibly nervous about it Bizarre!



I have a work awards ceremony next week and I don't fit into any of my evening dresses had a little cry on the phone to hubby about it earlier and he says he will take me shopping and buy me a new one...

...he doesn't understand that I don't want a new one. I want to fit in my old ones

:rotfl:even the 'sexy' curries I see on tv cookery things look gross to me and the smell is awful, I can't stand Tumeric which seems to be in them all as well.
There's 2 things I'm convinced I'll never like and thats curry and olives any other things I'm not keen on I try every now and then. Just recently I gave rice another whirl and now I'll eat it
