dumb question here but cheese sauce is white sauce with cheese .. right? x

yep!

Searchie, about the washing machine, I got a freezer for £55 new from comet clearance, which is an auction type site who do deliveries. They have washing machines too. The stuff is all warrantied and fully working but ex-display or with a little dent in it. Didn't bother me!

Just thought that might be a bit more manageable than a new full price one....

The other thought I had was that if you responded to a freecycler with a 'I'd love this washer but I have no transport, can I give you £10 for your trouble in bringing it.....' well they can only say 'no' eh? :rotfl:and a lot of freecyclers just want stuff to have a useful home so they might even drop it off without a charge.

Just 2 thoughts I had when I was thinking about you earlier

I'm going away in June and I'vr only just realised I'll need 'stuff'! Like tins of milk, and nappies, and buggies :eek::eek: :rotfl:
How will I make bottles up with foriegn water and other such stupid questions that never crossed my mind when I booked! So glad I'll not be steralising by then :rotfl:

you booked with Going Places? ask them to add on the 10kg free infant allowance. this will cover any extras you need/want to bring. you can use bottled water but you boil and cool it before using it.

so glad our 1st holiday is to my mum!! think we are (hopefully) getting away in sept/oct. i get a months salary as a return to work bonus after i've been back 3 months. (pay i was on when i went on mat leave). if we dont get away then i;m looking at going to Egypt in nov/dec. treat ourselves to a nice 5* All inc (get a massooove disc of my hols for us all)

ooooh my DH will want him for a case study! Which will be so very easy to arrange when you move to Cardiff:j:j:j (mustn't get hopes up! :rotfl:)

puree-wise we just add a little bit of water and boil down til it's a mush with lumps (fergie has always liked a few lumps) I think Benjamin did too, but Jayden and seth from memory prefer smooth... I think Kai changes his mind So you'll know best how Jack will like it

Nah, Kai doesn't like lumpy or smooth He will not eat anything that requires a spoon (apart from sharing ice-cream with me:rolleyes:)

We are having spaghetti bolognese today I am making it with pasta twirls and will just sort of coat Kai's pasta in the sauce and leave him to eat it himself, I will of course give him a spoon but that only gets used as a hammer:p

OMG I am so annoyed, waiting on for a delivery and it still hasn't arrived, Parcelforce and I got a txt this morning saying they will be here between 7am-6pm!!!

always the way Mel - if you'd gone out they would have called! Sod's law.

oh, I don't have a black eye - it's a stye and me no likey!

re bottled water - my sister has to use it cos my dad's water is undrinkable. spring well which is flucked and he won't fix even though he can! Water is orange due to so much copper - fine to bathe in but not drink.

I think you can use spring water but not mineral water - or its the other way around

SM, google "man with a van sheffield" for local services.. looking about £25-30 for collection/delivery/loading/unloading. Not bad if you find on on FreeCycle. Put a wanted on FC too, don't wait for an offer ad..

ETA: This one says local jobs from £10, even better!
