    thought i might have been neglecting him a bit you see. when we get up, i have my toast and coffee and he's in his rocker. then we go into kitchen and he's in his activity centre while i do dishes etc. then he has a nap and i catch up on here.
    he goes on his activity mat/arch as well (which at the moment is also being used to chew on lol as the arch comes off to make it a mat). we do singing with actions and he sits on my knee and he 'reads' here/fb etc with me. he likes tv....well he recognises voices...he's watchimg midsomer murders now cos he recognises the voice :o
    do read him books, although this is hard as he always tries to grab the pages. (i need some cloth ones)
    i do leave him to his own devices to on the floor whilst i clean etc like Glam i want him to be used to me not being there. (:( for when he goes to nursery)
    he's been on the swing in the park and we go for walks when weather is good. and we have our group on a wed.


    when i write it all down i seem to be doing more than i realised....

    HEEHEE.. OH is traumatised. I just emailed a friend

    'Hi, how are things going? How are your boobs?!'

    He thinks that is rude.. but her baby is 3 days old and she is bf for the first time and she asked for advice the other day I thought it was nice to check up on her in case she needed some help and wanted an ear but felt silly asking again!

    Battery hens are vaccinated against salmonella usually so the cheapy (no that was not a pun!) eggs are fine too.. I'd reckon the organic free range are probably not ok if anything will have bacteria it will be those!
    lion mark eggs are all as safe as each other weather battery or free range, thats what the lion mark is for.
    Salmonella has only ever been found on the sells never in the eggs, sine the marking came to be so there is a case for cleaning your eggs and or making sure you wash your hands and not get any sell in your cake mix :cool:
    cheap spanish eggs are the riskiest IIRC
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    *goes to look for lion eggs* :p

    We just have chicken bum-eggs according to Tiddles..

    Are the lions on the eggs or the box? (Can you tell I don't care or look? lol)

    If you boil to dippy eggs surely any bugs on the shells would be incinerated so it doesn't matter.. or are they then pushed through the porous shell into the fleshy bit?

    success!! just gave Kian a bath and he only cried a little. seems to be when i try to lie him down a bit to wash his hair. so sat him straight back up and he stopped, after a while. did some splashing and he smiled- only once but a smile is good enough for me :D

    With eggs, if they are contaminated with salmonella your pretty much screwed anyway as usual cooking methods for eggs don't heat the bacteria for long enough to kill it anyway. (think it's over 10mins at over 75'c, but don't quote me)

    But yeah, it's usually on the shell not in the egg.

    PMSL.. I had 5 children at 25
    me too but i cant imagine having 8!!! did you plan on having so many? how many girls and boys do you have? i have g,b,g,b,g!!
    Caz, your sphereing experience is awful!! I was going to buy my mum one for her 60th next month but not now.
    They were made to change the brackets on the harnesses and they should be inspected after every roll. I did get compensation plus a whole years wages on top of my sick pay! i wouldnt have taken it further but the guy who owns the company turned up at my house and handed me £50 so i wouldnt take it further and go to the press, i was so shocked and asked him to leave.

    try to find out how many goes you get, my mate got hers from boots I think and she got 3 goes but some others there had got it from somewhere else and they only got 2 goes
    we were allowed 2 rolls, the first was fine but the second went wrong, there were 8 of us altogether and the others were given a refund.

    There's an actual Hundred Acre Wood???????????

    Yes and it's close to Gatwick Airport. So we have a ten minute drive to the hotel, we're 3 miles from the sphereing place and five minutes from the wood and the furthest we have to walk is the village. And to Tesco or other supermarket and from there we'll get a taxi back ;)
