    It amuses me how they are so different. Charlotte eats all her meat first and will leave veggies. At the weekend, SIL only put a tiny slice of lamb on Charlotte's plate and she was horrified and said "Mam, I need more lamb, and some chicken too" :rotfl:

    If she's had enough of a sandwich, she'll pick the meat out and leave the bread.
    Alice is like that - I've tried to communicate the concept of not eating all of your favourite first and leaving all of the thing you don't like as much till last but she doesn't get it. She also always takes her sandwiches apart and eats the bits separately so I now just give her all the bits spearately rather than putting them together.

    stupid question- where would i get a rhubarb root from as i couldnt see any in the garden centre? i thought about asking on freecycle?
    Definitely ask on Freecycle - almost everyone who has decent rhubarb will have plenty root to spare. My mum usually throws half her root out each year as she's given away so many that nobody wants it. (But she's giving it to us this year now we've got a house.)

    Congratulations DK! Can't help with double buggies, my plan if I manage to conceive another one is to have one in the buggy and one in the sling till the one in the sling gets too heavy and then add a buggy board to the buggy.

    And now I am off to make rosemary, pine nut and bacon bread. By which I mean "put all the ingredients in the breadmaker, turn it on and pretend I'm a chef".

    Molly is asleep, I still feel like a$$ and am hoping to get a bath this afternoon as well. But OH just made a big list of the things he does around the house and I'm feeling guilty for not doing enough.

    good luck with the bread; sounds delicious!!

    ...feeling a bit guilty, :o, i do the list thing all the time for my OH too.....but unlike you, he really doesnt do his fair share.

    Ah, I asked him to chop the rosemary for the bread for me and he went on a "funny" rampage about how he makes the dinner and does the dishes and takes out the rubbish and and and and and... and all the time he had already chopped the damn rosemary and was just trying to make me go into the kitchen to do it and discover that it was already done for me. I see what he was trying to do but didn't find it funny or cute [STRIKE]and now I'm going to spit in the bread[/STRIKE].

    i def do that. :o
    I have a recipe for cheese and bacon bread which is a very easy, no-knead Rachel Allen recipe if anyone wants it.

    'Tis delicious! So delicous in fact that now I have remembered about it I may make some tomorrow. (Not today as cba)

    I have had a lovely nap though, got about an hour until I was awoken by the sound of a hungry baby.

    yumyum. im def gonna make this.....just need to work out how many syns it will cost me!! *Rolly eyes smiley!!*

    Grrr, I was about to get all annoyed and stroppy to this eBay seller that I bought a bundle of baby clothes from. They arrived today and most of the bundle are size 0-3 months, which Finn is just outgrowing.

    Then I check the listing and discover I must've had a major brain fart in bidding on the bundle (I had been looking for 3-6!), as it's marked properly as 0-3 months clothes. Durrrrrrrrrr :o:o:o so now I feel ultra-!!!!!! because I have a bundle of clothes that Finn can't wear (save the 3 3-6 month vests that happen to be in there). Serious baby brain.
    top 2013 wins: iPad, £50 dental care, £50 sportswear, £50 Nectar GC, £300 B&Q GC; jewellery, Bumbo, 12xPringles, 2xDiesel EDT, £25 Morrisons, £50 Loch Fyne

    would like to win a holiday, please!!
