    I don't add salt to anything, I've had a big tub of table salt since I moved in, filled the two salt and pepper shakers for the table, and the salt thing is still more than half full :rotfl:

    Keira probably eats her daily salt in breadsticks and the likes. Yum

    MOTM I'm just being nebby really - but how do the bedrooms work out in your house? (Unless you live in an 8 bedroomed mansion?). How is it decided who shares with who?

    It's funny you should mention 8 bedroom mansion...:rotfl:

    We have two houses knocked into one, which I now own outright, both of which had 3 bedrooms.

    As they were very similar houses, they both had very similar large landings upstairs, so we turned them into bedrooms, so we do have 8 bedrooms, although it's not amansion, it's spaceous, or was until Lucy's furniture arrived :eek: No, it still is a very big place, but with 8 females, not alot of spare space. :cool:

    We have one spare room, which Lucy was meant to use at first and the older 5 all have a room each. Lucy and I share and twins share. The spare room will become one of the twins rooms when they want to seperate*, although they have no intention of doing so just yet, I don't think.

    When they did share, it was simply done with ages. Oldest has had her own room for a long while, but it used to be twins, then next two up shared and so on.

    *Subject to any more kids :eek:

    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    MOTM - I am so sorry to hear that you have been having some problems, I didn't even realise anything was going on and haven't even seen your thread....I will take a quick peek as soon as I get a chance!

    Kai is in desperate need of a haircut, he is seriously looking like a girl now....I don't want to do it myself in case I chop his ear off or something. I am sure there must be a baby friendly hairdresser around here somewhere!!!
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Ouch, ouch, ouch - b00ger off the lot of you :p:p



    Although isn't it hilarious that Benjamin sees 2 trained hairdressers regularly (the PW and SIL) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    If he should EVER need a haircut, he can take his pick!!

    We have one spare room, which Lucy was meant to use at first and the older 5 all have a room each. Lucy and I share and twins share.

    Lucy & you share?, out of wedlock (as my nana would say!). Shocking. :eek::p

    Wow - 8 bedrooms! I'm ever so slightly jealous!


    We have 3 bedrooms. Me, OH & V in the biggest, DD1 in the next, DS in the smallest. We were talking about V going in to share with DD1 at some point soon.

    DD1 decided she'd rather share the big room with DS and let V have the small room. I have tried to convince her that it would be better to share with V than with a smelly almost teenage boy but she's still disagreeing.

    Part of her argument is that she and DS would have a football themed room but if she had to share with V it would have to be a girly room (yuk!).

    Chicken and bacon pasta sounds good. But what kind of sauce would you do that in? I'm a bit useless with pasta things, unless it's spag lol or lasagne! Also we like things quite saucy as dry pasta makes me boak.

    Got any sour cream or creme fraiche - thats what I use with some cheese

    Oh don't worry, I know people have there own lives to live and didn't expect such a huge response anyway. As a family, we are in better nick than ever, it's just stupid school nonsense :o

    What's wrong with a boy looking like a girl? :D I had long hair when younger. Oh how times have changed :o
