I heard that the recommended portions a day is much higher in mainland Europe so I try not to worry too much about myself or Benjamin (I too can happily eat 8 portions of fruit during the working day). Maybe SS can enlighten us but I am sure it is 8??

Our limit of five is only on fruit so she has veg too. And generally they are adult size portions so more than a portion to her. A typical day might be two bananas, an apple, 2tbsp sultanas and an orange.

Susan that would be good, seeing as all them southerners are having meets of their own we can have a mini meet

I'll drop you a PM next time I'm going to Darlington then.

I'm also sorry for all the mixing up I'm doing, the sleeplessness is easy to blame but I don't know if that's it IYKWIM? I'm just a bit useless at the moment but don't want to cause offence

Just so you know - I wasn't offended by you getting me mixed up with Alice.

At least you can FIND details of your local booby clubs! I can't seem to locate anything other than LLL lectures (which sound dead boring BTW). I mean there must be stuff, but I'm clueless and the HV didnt want to tell me about any groups til Finn was 6 weeks :rolleyes:.

Is it just me who thinks they would be really interesting then?

First time of posting anything and probably getting it all wrong. My wife and I are expecting twins in may. Already have a girl who will be 2 in may aswell. Can anyone suggest freebies or low cost places to get baby bits as i have lost my job and we now only have one salary.

Hi Ladies,

Off work today due to a bug - major league headache yesterday and no food for 48 hours as it gives me cramps.

I registered with our energy provider for a survey about our insulation, they've been round and it does need replacing and we've given a grant so it's getting done for FREE - how MSE is that?

Baby Groups - when I was on ML with Katie I went to Baby Cafe (run by our HV), Pushy Mothers (exercise with pushchair), and antenatal pilates (Katie came too).

Ah so jealous i missed the sling, i was looking at them this morning after i googled mei tai when it was mentioned, so i then decided i wanted a sling for when i pick DS up from school!

The search continues, although those mei tai's are too expensive for me, i know i won't use it for long, she's already getting heavy and i'm a shortarse :rotfl:

I have the Murrons pouch in the attic that I think is the same one 3 had. Its stripey coloured fleece, mainly dark colours but I'd say it was unisex. Kieren has never liked it so its yours if you want it?

Has SM been on today? Her Facebook status is a bit worrying........

My_Fathers_Daughter

Hi Dora - you are more than halfway there already :T:T

Sorry Beenie.

If I was buying again, i'd go straight for the Mei-Tai style. Have you had a look on ebay? Theres a few hanging around £20 ish with a couple of days left.


I'm still waiting for my Kwik-fit fitter! I hate people who give you a time of between 9 & 5! :mad: Bet he comes at 3 when I need to go to DD's school, or half 4 when I need to go to gymnastics.

She hasn't been on as far as I know.
I thought she was shopping in RL?, or decluttering for ebay?

Oh dear - hope she's ok.
