Can somebody persuade me that a toasted sandwich is not a good idea. I really need to lose some of this baby weight but the sandwich toaster is calling me, begging me to switch it on!!!

We watched tourists screw the locals for every penny on every purchase and then brag that they had bought Paul Frank T-shirts for less than 30p each.

I agree - when I was in Kenya there was this culture of bargaining alllll the way down. I tended to go down to what I felt I was prepared to pay, not what they'd go down to. It perhaps wasn't the most :money: way to be - but I felt I could live with myself afterwards.

We are off to meet friends for a Pizza Hut buffet lunch today. Normally go to Baby Sensory on a Thursday but it's not back until next week.

Jealous! The German one has three pizzas on a stand and you're not allowed to hit the salad bar. One day I will go get me a good Pizza Hut buffet, and then I will not eat for a week afterwards :rotfl:

Happy birthday Izzy - and big hugs all round. I've nothing useful to add so will go back to foraging for more stuff to eat.

Edit: Feelie, I'm sorry you had a bad night, and I want to poke your ignorant HV in the eye. But if you want an automatic, why does your OH's opinion come into it?

MFD, I'm going to heroically eat your toasted sandwich so you don't have to. Om nom nom.

No I didn't but I see you said a lot of people go for the M&P ARia which is teh 2nd hand one that we have so I guess I should be more MSE and just clean it instead of buying new!

I doubt I'll use it much as I tend to use the sling anyway.

lol, yeah just clean it you lazy wotsit :rotfl:
I'd never buy a 2nd hander that needed cleaning purely coz I know I'd never get round to cleaning it me, lazy? nah

I've got the Maxi-Cosi PrioriFix and it is enormous! I don't know if I could even get it through the door, and it is far to heavy to swap between cars.

I had a few lessons, but I just didn't 'get' the clutch and gear changing. It is more of a confidence thing, and I didn't like it. I like the rest of driving. If I took a test in an automatic, I'd be able to drive much sooner, which would be a good thing.

The Care-coordinator lady phoned me back and asked lots of questions and didn't give any answers. Hmm.

it'll fit the tobi is pretty much same size, we had no probs getting it in my micra (you so should have a tobi )
I supose it depends if you just want to get any licence quickly aqnd be limited to cars or spend more time n money getting the manual license and have the car choice. I found driving pretty hard (took about 18mths learning ) but now its just 2nd nature.

you don't have much luck with the health prof do you :mad: at them!!

Afternoon all,

Searching - how are your lessons going?? I know one was cancelled with the snow. Really wish I could follow your led, but have such a phobia about driving (and i have a licence)

Elle - woo hoo on the blood tests for rhys. brilliant news. saw that you have an important chat tomorrow. hope it all goes well. let us know what cake you bake if you get a chance

MFD - toasted sandwich....i LOVE them. i kept saying about getting a sandwich maker at work before i left on ML and now you have me thinking again

OMG!!! YAY :T:T:T



Am I wrong to ask which ones didn't come back normal? I am wondering if these results change the future in terms of potassium levels etc.




SS - you are my hero!!

How much worse for me is a toasted sandwich as opposed to beans on toast?

nope they are usually more expensive as the basic models are manual, they also can be less eco(use more petrol) as you don't control what gear you're in/the revs
only plus point is pure laziness
