MOTM - DD2 is 21 months old Im sure its just a phase but bit distressing to watch as last night she really hurt herself.

DD1 got a 'C' in maths which is a pass and is great but she said if she can improve it by resiting she still has the 'C'. Dont thinks its area specific - im sure it must be a national rule:p

Been out for a lovely meal for DD1's 16th tonight!

Well, I suppose at 21 months, you can't really treat it the same way as a 5/6 year old

Can she just re-sit the exam? Or does she have to do the whole year again?

Happy B'day to your 16yo.

Angela - dd1 sat some Gsce's last year in year 10 and did really well but if she wants to resit them this year to see if she can do better she can do. Also if she did worse this year the original grade would still stand so she cant loose really

DD2 has started headbutting when she dosnt get her own way - at the minute we are completely ignoring it but last nite she head butted the wall and really hurt herself:rolleyes: am at a bit of a loss what to do as I cant remember DD1 going through this stage - any tips would be greatly appreaciated.

the resit rule is standard for all exams, in a levels you can even sit different modules and the 6 best marks are the ones that count

Chris did the headbutting thing, it's just a phase I just ignored it and if he hurt himself I said something like "that was a silly thing to do, now you're hurt" I would let him come to me and say climb on my knee but wouldn't go and pick him up like I would if he'd just fell

:eek: I'd expect it to do the three of us for 4-6 meals.

Are you meaning 500g mince would do up to 18 individual portions? (3 people x 6 meals) As that's not much mince per portion or have I just got that totally wrong ?

hmmm I will only bulk out mince so far, otherwise what's the point of having it in the first place? I can do 500g in the slow cooker with carrot, lentils & oats to do a tomato sauce base that makes roughly 4 plastic tubs that generally turn into 4 meals for the 2 of us (unless I do lasagne with 1 of the tubs, then that makes 2 meals per tub).

I think Susan and Glam must use mince as a garnish :rotfl:

Either that or i'm a pig. 500g would do me and DS for 2 meals and i'm not shy with the mash and dumplings or whatever we're having with it. When ex was here it'd only do one night though.

Really? Hmmm... I don't like quinnies though and want a parent facing one.

Don't get me wrong its a great pram and it does everything which most don't. It was great when she was tiny and they look fab but it weighs a ton and the steering is crappy, ite really wide, wider than other prams, the basket has a metal cross over thing which stops you being able to get anything bigger than a tin of beans into the basket (new ones don't have that prob), when you have it parent facing you can't get to the basket at all without walking roung the other side of the pram. If you walk everywhere and use it for shopping then it gets to be a PITA.

I got offered the quinny for £70 from a mate and for £70 its brilliant and I have to say in this weather the quinny has been a godsend i wouldn't have been able to get up to school with just the loola.

Hey! Thanks very much. I've thought in the past that there doesn't seem to be many people from Leeds on here! There is one lovely lady currently on the pg thread though, Gymfriend, who also lives in Leeds.

I'm in Pudsey (feel free to ignore this/waddle away if I'm looking like a stalker lol!!)

Yes although I'd call it 15 as it's more like 6 x 2.5 because Alice has a smaller portion. I just put in more of all the other stuff so I would include in a bolognaise for example say 3-6 onions, 3 or four tins of tomatoes, half a pound of grated carrot, half a pound of lentils and rice. With a chilli I would also use a cup of beans which once cooked I think is the equivalent of about three tins? (Obviously I soak/cook them before adding to the chilli.)

it's about 27g mince per portion (assuming all portions are the same size)

I just google but couldn't quickly find what a recomended serving size is for meat but saw something about quorn mince being 87g...

Right - which of you b00gers swapped my lovely sleeping baby from last night with this whingey, whiney, grumpy, non-sleepy little monster :mad:

Half eight before he went to sleep! And hubby has just been up to him again. His cheeks are the colour of a fire engine!!


Hipp Goodnight Milk (Benjamin's fave) is £3.50 at Tesco ATM. It is usually £4.50 (:eek:) god this formula stuff is expensive! What with 2 bottles a day at CM's and a bottle of goodnight milk at night I am feeling the money flowing out of my purse. If nothing else, house white is free :money:

Have you all seen/heard that pampers pull up pants are reduced to £2.99 all sizes at Boots or at least for those folks that use these
