    Nimbo You could grate the bread but it'll be messy so be prepared! Or you could just sort of 'smush & tear' it with your hands and go for the more rustic look lol!
  • Lowesy, I am so sorry my darling. I've had a M/C between no2 & no3, it;s heartbreaking. xxx

    Have done all my flying today. House looks lovely.

    Took baby to gp this morning as he was very chesty. She says his chest is clear. I keep having to give him calpol (typing that took me 7 attempts!) as his temp keeps spiking. He's sleeping loads as well.

    Dinner is sausages for DD, DS1 & DH. I've got left over veggie chilli. Will see if the baby wants anything, he;s off his food.

    I'm hoping to sell my pram tomorrow. I want another one. Should sell this one for £100 & the one I want is £90.

    For breadcrumbs I put the bread in a little whizzer thing. Or a food processor if I have a large amount.

    ((((lowesy)))) I am so sorry about the scan results.I had three miscarriages before having my youngest dd.

    You are "sophisticated", "curvy" and fantastic - and don't dare think different or we will "Gok" you ;).(I will be 59 in August- sshh)



    DH has just gone to pick up my prescriptions for me so that is a weight off my mind.

    Breakfast was a bacon and egg bap, lunch was a la leftover stew and snack was a couple of oatcakes. DD is having sausage and oven chips for tea , DH having stew and I might have soup or sardines on toast. Not dieting but trying to stick to nutritious foods as much as I can.

    DH gives back the company car next Friday and hopes to pick up our very own car by this weekend. As soon as the weather improves he wants us to go out for the day - he is convinced the sea air and the moor air will pick me up. DD can't wait for me to get back to normal and has just asked when I think that will be. Have decided to "make haste slowly" and just do a little more each day.

    Positive thoughts to Tris and anyone else who could use them.

    Hugs to everyone

    Maybe that could be an answer to get you back in the frame of mind where you can cope with the broken nights? I know that even just working outside the home & running the house without having little ones or other family to take care of I NEED an early night at least once a week, usually a Thursday, when I take myself to bed at 8pm with a hot choccy & a book to listen to Radcliffe & Maconie :o

    Well I am going to have to give it a try.


    Lowesy - I am so so sorry to hear your news. Nothing I can say other than had a m/c myself and it's heartbreaking comforting.gif Look after yourself and your H xxxxxxx

    Molly - Hugs for you too xxxxcomforting.gif

    Edited to add:

    LW - I am going to be 35 in March eek! I'll be the wrong side of my 30's then ;) I don't always remember to practice what I am about to preach :o but I am a believer in positive thinking. Don't dread your birthday - it's a reason to celebrate after all it was the day you came into this world and surely this place is a tiny bit better for having you in it xx

    NPM - I am so sorry to hear you got a telling off about unpaid time off - clearly you should just abandon Noah for the sake of work :rolleyes: If they kept paying you then I can see why a company etc might be a tad annoyed but it's unpaid for goodness sake :mad: Sorry just very cross on your behalf. Sorry Noah's not doing too well at the moment. Anything in particular that might have triggered his behaviour? Hugs to you too xxxxx

    NPM - Re your son, my son is 9 and under Cahms for Adhd and used to be alot worse than he is now getting to sleep ie 1 or 2am. He was prescibed Melatonin a dosage of 2mg which has made a big difference and he now settles to sleep much quicker although it is still 9.30 to 10pm most nights. It has made such a difference to my life.
  • I just had to post to say Lowesy - I am so so sorry to hear your incredibly sad news comforting.gif

    My thoughts are with you and your husband.

    Hi, I lost the thread for a few days. I have spent most of today trying to get oil/tar off my lounge carpet. It came in on the dogs feet and is spotted all over the room.

    I managed to get it off the lino in the kitchen but the wool carpet has been tricky. The Vax decided not to pump out shampoo any more too.

    As a MS idea we have cancelled our meal out tonight and I am making a carbonara type meal with pork left over from Christmas (It was in the freezer). DD offered to bring a take away but as she would have to collect it 20 miles away I have decided not to bother.

    Lowesy I am very sorry to hear your news. I hope both you and DH are able to get some support. Hugs and prayers for both of you.
