    Ooo - I would love to join something like that! I can't wait until Benjamin goes to school and I can volunteer to be a Parent Governor or something :o

    I was invited to my brother's school to give a talk about being a Solicitor. They have the likes of Tony Blair coming to talk at his school, so I was very flattered! I am looking forward to being an involved mummy with Leila's school too, thats if I let her go to school cos the way I feel right now I might want to keep her all to myself forever and ever!:p

    .. This is the wonderful Surestart Centre that I use.

    Wow! I wish our centres would have websites like that :rolleyes: I can understand why, but unless you actually go in you can't find any info on what's on at all :(

    Thanks MFD and Sami thats exactly what I wanted, I know they could be doing so much more than they do but until I get to the first meeting next monday I don't know if the reason they don't is down to budget constraints or lack of skills or well, it could be anything.

    Rhys has just eaten a huge bowl of porridge (ya know, baby huge ;)). At first I made it too thick so added more milk and cream, then it was too thin so added more porridge.. etc etc. Ended up with a massive portion which I thought he wouldn't even have half of. He troughed the lot and now he's got designs on my crumpets! :cool:
    are they the same crumpets you were suposed to not be eating or have I got mixed up?

    :rotfl: I saw that too Sami and decided not to drop elle in it!!

    I just picked up my lovely Antony Worral Thompson pepper mill that I was given for Christmas, to grind fresh lovely pepper over my hard boiled egg. And the bottom fell away and peppercorns went everywhere :( And because I didn't dust my desk they're all mixed in with dust and fluff and can't just be dropped back in there :(

    There was something I wanted to say but I can't remember what it was after my egg/pepper trauma. So :grouphug: instead.

    I got the idea from Weezl's USDA thread that she told me not to bother reading - silly weezlie ;) aparently you can buy frozen juice concentrate in the US.

    yes!! It's sooooo much cheaper than buying full juice, I really miss that. 2 tubes of it would last our family of 4 a week - I think it makes 2 litres for less than $1, so is brill. Don't know why you Brits havne't cordoned on to it yet :p

    Beenie - sandwiches, curry, casserole. Curry can even be the lazy way with just some curry paste, tinned tomatoes & peppers chopped up. But my vote is pork sandwiches with applesauce, yumyumyum!

    another grumpy baby today! only way to quiet him seems to be to read my book aloud, but my throat keeps getting dry!
