... Beccles - I get excema on the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet if I don't keep them moisturised so I use Boots Marshmallow and Mint Foot Cream every day on my feet (and my hands!!)

Okay, stupid question.. I get that mint and lavender are natural etc so you can have "extracts of.." but how do you get extracts of marshmallow? Aren't marshmallows just manufactured sweets?

SMA follow on was new when DS1 was at the age of drinking it. We only got it cos cows gave him the dire-rear.

Aless, drinking animal milk is a bit unnatural, but we humans don't really follow a natural diet (I mean as animals what should we be eating). We farm crops and found that animal milk provides nutrition beyond what energy we put into it (hunter-gathers had to be careful that the food they ate provided more energy than was used to procure it). Interesting topic though.

MFD, whippy ice cream - listeria and just cos it's gross? :cool: It's on par with cream from a can *vomit* Oh thank god you agree about chocolate fountains! My MIL said I was 'particular' when I refused a strawberry that had been dunked in one after seeing somone else stick a marshmallow in, bite it and stick it back in fingers and all! *double vomit* yeah, and not even go into the whole 'melted chocolate pouring through the air' thing!

em, I wouldn't cook any mince in the slow cooker, don't see the point, can make a bigger pot on the hob and freeze it.

MM, the decorating go well then?

Anti bac, we provide it in the loos at the shop, soap and anti bac gel. The gel runs out quicker than the soap, so either folk just use gel, or just use water then gel or they think the gel is soap.... I don't own an anti bac gel of my own though...

MFD, oilive oil with or without either sugar or salt as a scrub or on its own rubbed into hands seems to work for me. At night, not throughtout the day... uhm... I use Ambers johnsons baby moisturiser cream.

Oh I used to hate my hands being dirty or sticky, I still do, but the boys can get as messy as they want.

No, marshmallow comes from some plant, I totally saw that river cottage dude making some!

bless B. he tries so many things. i'm really trying not to let my food dislikes have an effect on what i give LO. it took everything i had to give her baked beans. to me, they should be banned. evil evil things. she does eat them, i dont think she goes massively on them, but will tolerate them.

Can I ask if you just gave normal beans or whether you went for the low sugar, low salt ones? I have only done LSLS ones so far.

We have a rule in our family that NOBODY is allowed to turn their nose up at what Benjamin is eating. That includes me, hubby (much fussier than me), DSS, aunts, uncles, nans ANYBODY. I don't want Benjamin to be influenced by anybody else as to what is 'nice' and what isn't. If you don't like it - KEEP YOUR GOB SHUT!!!



MM - part of Benjamin's day is to sit and watch me put my creams on - he likes to hold the pots!! He knows which ones he can hold and which ones (pumps) he isn't allowed to touch! He likes me to tell him what I am doing

MFD, Jasmine has got into the habit of using my face scub in the morning cuz she was so used to watching me do it while she was waiting for the sink to do her teeth. I noticed my bottle was going down quite quickly and caught her at it !!
So I have promised her will will do a beauty shop just for her, as she loves to wear her make up and perfume and body spray, so I guess I may as well let her do all the other lotions and potions too !!

Really must get round to doing that though, it was last year I promised her I would

MM, fairies have found this , something similar to this and this and decided that Dylan needs them.

few, just caught up but now it's time for bed. Some interesting discussions today but I've nothing to add so changing the subject completely does anyone know where I can get a nursing swimming costume (one piece because my tummy is all wrinkly ).

I haven't found anywhere that does baby swimming sessions near me yet - still looking - however I'm also planning on a holiday soon so will need one for that.

Going to try and get to a buggy fit class tomorrow so better go to bed. Night all.
