    ooh I'm having trouble not missing things as Ed is so blimming wriggley and I have no where to put him :mad: he managed to fling himself out of his rocking chair yesterday :eek:

    Keely *hugs* for you, the asda offer is still going AFAIK so you can get some replacement specs cheaply

    MFD - do you use c&g night time milk?

    random question for OS'ers do you know how so make cookies really gooey and yummy like the ones you get from dominos pizza?
    I made some cookies yesterday but they were quite dry so I couldn't decide less flour/more egg/more butter :confused:

    I only had these glasses a month ago from asda, hopefully they'll repair them for me-hubbys had a close look and doesn't look as bad as first thought.

  • Hi
    I don't post here often but have a March 09 baby (born 4th) who has issues with food and here's what she eats:

    Bottle - 7oz
    Breakfast - usually ready brek with fruit, found out recently she prefers it made with water
    Lunch - usually finger food, eg 1 crumpet some organix finger snack and small yog
    Bottle - usually at 2ish - 7oz
    Tea - about 5pm, some homemade stuff (hot food, stew or something similar)
    Bottle - 7pm 7oz
    she normally finishes her milk but very rarely her food (except when she went to nursery for the first time yesterday when she ate everything!) And she never asks for food or milk, just gets given at about the time I think she wants it. HAsn't had milk in the night since about 4-5 months? Drinks very little water though - anyone any idea how much water they should have?

    Never mind the glasses for now Keely - are you ok?

    Afternoon all - I'm currently covered in mushed mixed veg that my gorgeous daughter raspberried out at me and eating low fat tasty sauce on pasta. I'm working on my paper with Molly and Husband hanging out here too and if every work day could be like this I probably wouldn't even take Sundays off.

    Going to check my BMI, but I prefer the measurement of "my belly sticks out [this far] over my trousers" to see how I'm doing.

    Glad to hear things are a wee bit better. Take it it was Virgin?? My FIL chopped through my cable when we redone the driveway and they were like 'can you turn the modem off and on again', no you bloody moron, my cable is in 2 pieces just send someone out!!!!!!

    Hmmmm, if he does come, don't fall for his crap!
    :rotfl: Did you get charged for it? My dog chewed all my outside wires and was expecting a charge but i just didn't mention it on the phone and the guy who came out didn't say a word just did it! :money:

    I highly doubt he'll come anyway, but if he does i'm gonna make him pick up all the sludgey dog poo in the garden cos i didn't clear it up and then the snow covered it :confused::rotfl: I've had enough of his crap it's about time he dealt with some IMO :p
  • Well we have the offical medical diagnose of "Happy Chucker" lol to try Gaviscon and if no difference to go back to try something else. Hope it works just to give the machine a break for day.

    Thank you for asking :o I do feel a lot better today, i have slept loads (thanks to hubby for feeding elliot etc even when hes not well). I feel a bit silly today, after i'd passed out i started crying and shaking-then got told off (in a nice way) to drink something and sit down! I really hate being ill at the same time as hubby, looking after elliot hasn't been easy for us in between throwing up etc.

    I doubt i will be able to eat rice for a long time :( yuk

    Hi DK - nice to see you.

    I do my own little personal goal of trying to get Benjamin to drink 100ml of water a day...although he usually just flings it around :rolleyes: I do find he will drink from a water bottle with a sports cap because he thinks he is being a big boy!

    Hope LO liked nursery xx

    I don't even own any scales and I haven't been on the Wii Fit since Benjamin was tiny and I discovered doing step and hula-hooping sent him to sleep (if I was holding him!)


    Edit - Annie - you must feel better for getting a comedy diagnosis :)

    Oooh what do you think of this? I wanted the I Love my Bear one in dark, but this one is cheaper atm

    http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-Us/Nursery/Cots-and-Cotbeds/Kensington-Cotbed-in-Dark-Oak%280073418%29

    Still need to save up for it though :rolleyes: I need to figure out how long i've got to have the money - when did your babies move into cots? Prob won't be in sale by then but i'm sure i'll find a similar one for that price

    She has a basket and a crib atm.

    They tried too but I set the MIL on them, eventually they agreed that if they'd fitted it properly in the first place it never would have happened! a week with no internet or TV was hell!!!

    Hee hee sounds like a good plan * evil cackle smilie*
  • Thanks, am trying to post more often! 100ml of water seems a lot, I will try and aim for something like that, i think she takes about 20ml max at each meal time!

    Baby H loved nursery - slept for 2 x 1 hours (woke her from each as I said she'd mever sleep longer than an hour) ate all her food and didn't even cry. Shame really as I handed my notice in yesterday on my first day back, so she'll only be there 3 months as I work my notice.
