    buttie - 1 slice folded in half with loads of butter
    piece - 2 slices with filling cut in half
    sandwich - like a piece but cut diagonally and therefore - posh
    round of - 2 slices of whatever, usually toast here.

    oh and a gravy is not a sugar do'nut no matter where you come from cos that is just plain WEIRD!

    question
    If you asked for a round of sarnies, would you expect 1 or 2 slices of bread ???

    Well it would be 1 but I don't like samwiches! :o
    I'll eat toast & bread and butter but not samwiches - bleurgh!

    hehe - Jack sometimes cries/moans through his tea. Usually because it's something he doesn't like - tonight he had brocolli and he moaned throughout but I just shoveled it in. Then he had pear for pudding and was completely different! Bouncing like mad in his chair and laughing!

    I have to feed him in his bouncy chair at the mo because he's started slouching in his highchair!

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Gravy? Doughnuts? You what?! *confused*

    Can you not tighten the straps on the highchair, Glam? :o

    I had to loosen ours earlier cos Rhys' belly is getting too tubby for the straps to be comfy! :eek: Can't wait to get him weighed on Tuesday... three weeks since the last time :o
  • elle, you know the doughnuts that have no jam in them and a hole in the middle ?? Well in actual fact, they are called gravy rings !!

    Well, I bought a babygate today, the smallest one I could find that doesnt need to be drilled, and it doesnt fit anywhere :( lush. The landlady said we werent allowed to drill one in, so apparantly Seth's safety comes way below her precious wonky walls in her list of priorities *rolleyes*

    Are your doorways/stairs narrow?? cos ours are and i managed to find a one online that comes in narrow and extra narrow and is pressure fitted, its called babydan gate and its the only one that would fit our stairs! think the website was called safetots, was gutted tho cos it was over £30 and i'd picked up some lindham ones on the last day of asdas baby event for £7!!

    HA! No! I just withdrew my loola and next bundle money to pay to the credit card! *is shocked*

    Elle, well.... DH came home and I anounced my plans. He got !!!!ed off and started moaning about money coming out of his backside, or the lack of. I got tearful and called him a tight fisted skinflint who wanted nothing more than for us all to live in a stinking cesspit of make do but don't bother mending cos whats the point? And also a few 'cos you love your kids that much that you are happy for them to have furniture falling to bits. And a 'yes, Amber will move into a room with a carpet that is 8 years old and smells of pee and no it won't just wash and yes I know this because I lack the Y chromosome that makes me stupid! And I'm off to bed and I hate you and your horrible and tight and don't you dare moan about me buying dresses for Amber when you buy xbox games at £40 each and fags every week at £25-50 and a £500 BLOODY phone you bloody bloody git and I love sleeping in a room that is a skank hole.... you get the idea....

    But anyway this morning he said sorry and that I'm right it does need doing and he is just being tight and it's not fair. :D

    So, operation loft and room swap will commence in September (my student loan will all go towards it). :D

    Course then later on I had to admit there may have been a degree of PMT in my tantrum, but I'm still right :D
  • they have just always been gravy rings !! Only time they are called doughnuts are when they are mini and come in a bag :D
