    I live in hope she'll have a baby soon and booger off for a few months :rotfl:

    Speaking of fruit loaf, I might have to make some more of the weetabix stuff later, but this time will make it with skimmed milk and sweetener and see what its like! I put cinnamon in last time and it was goooooooood!

    Weezl, 31 weeks already :eek: :eek: :eek: thats crazy, its gone so fast! Not long to go :eek:

    I hope she will booger off too :)

    What sweetener is it Em, some of them go a bit bitter when oven baked?

    I know it's galloping past! I felt like there was time to invest in p massage, RLT drinking, meditation yoga, blah, blah with Fergie. Now I think I'll be lucky if I organise myself a pool to squat in :rotfl:

    I made my own savory rice and even I (the not a fan of rice) liked it :cool: no more buying packets for me :D
    Oooh, recipe please? I've only been as adventurous as cooking it in veg stock and putting chopped mushrooms in so far, but its rather tasty all the same!! :rotfl:

    So they escaped before you were born! ;) I won't tell anyone. Does she still have the accent?

    One of my best friends is from Falkirk, but has been down here for 20-odd years. She's so funny when she's had a drink or two, she goes all Scottish and uses lots of f' words, and nobody can understand her. :rotfl:

    I'm sure you'll be safe when they bring out a fat tax! You'll probably even get a rebate. :p


    Has anyone got GMTV on - have they said how old those parents of the twins are? They look old!

    Hi there! I'm now at wits end.........my lovely 11 week old has for the past week started screaming his head off at certain feeds and being generally fidgety at all the other feeds. He used to be a really excellent feeder but now seems to be going off his food and at the scream feeds he really goes for it even though he seems really hungry - couple of gulps and then scream fest. No matter how much I wind him and he does do some wicked burps it seems to make no odds.......any ideas anyone (seeing HV this aft so will ask her but I'm scared stiff as have another feed to do soon......) Help anyone??? Thanks Lisa
