    Morning all

    Weetabix - initially we mixed it with some petit filous, or fruit puree (and made it all very mushy). Nowadays he's ok with taking it straight! And same for readybrek (sometimes we mix raisins or dried fruit into readybrek pre-microwaving).

    Sugar - I seem to be the inverse from you, I never let family (even brothers) see me naked from age 11/12 onwards, but I've been very casual with nakedness with OH (and previous partners) pretty much from day 1. Not sure why :)

    Becles - :eek: at Josh, would never in a million years have voluntarily let my mum see a crusted sheet! (or created one, frankly - tissues are not rocket science! :p)

    :rotfl: Bruno I'm embarrassingly casual about nakedness, but bodily functions are a bit :eek: for me.

    I wish I could join a sling meet :(

    Fritha Remind me on Friday to ask if V can face outwards in mine. I think the answer is no, but wanted to check.

    Weetabix and readybreak aren't popular here. But she never really liked very mashed/pureed food.
    She's had a marmite crumpet _pale_ and a plum this morning.

    Bruno like you, I can walk round the house naked whether OH likes it or not :o, although L is at an age where she tells you honestly what she thinks :( - but I don't think my mum has seen me naked since she changed my nappy. I'd have liked her to come into the birth of 1/all of my children, but was worried about her seeing my bits. *confused smiley*.

    Becles your story reminded me of my friend who accidently left hers out in the bathroom. Her then 7 year old DS brought it down, waving it about, asking what it was. It wouldn't have been so bad if her 13 yo DD and 15 yo DS weren't there with two friends each. :eek:

    I use bapanthen for DS2, Amber hasn't had nappy rash yet due to her having no teeth yet. Thin layer, ditch the wipes and use water and a flannel (DS2 screams if you use wipes when he has a sore bum) till it clears up. And then if that fails I use an egg white but some mummy !!!!! types on another forum said he'd die from salmonella if I did that :cool: Can you imagine explaining that? Salmonella infection from !!!! slathering.

    Amber is making a good go of rolling back to front on the rug :D

    Oh and I got a surprise!!! Family fund have sent us Thomas Cook holiday vouchers! :T Woohoo!!!!

    Elle, (and anyone else who gets DLA for their little ones), go apply! Our first award we got a holiday and bedroom furniture :D If they get middle rate personal care you will get an award and the income bracket is pretty high too.

    Ooh Tia, I haven't applied for a few years. I think we may be over the bracket now. I should go and see what it is - do you know off the top of your head?


    ETA: its £23,000.
