Weezl have you tried a vibrating chair? Honestly I think it saved my sanity with Joe. He had rotten colic and nothing worked and he was so tiny there was nothing we could really think of. Then I discovered that those vibrating chairs really seem to help - the one we had was fisher price I think and was lent to us by a friend. We had a mamas and papas one bought for us but it didn't do the trick and he was too small for it.

the battery is gone in the maclaren one
so I'm joggling him in it with my foot ATM!

you don't have to type anything, I'd like people to feel free to just read if they'd like to :)no technology decided yet so the meeting may be a little delayed while I get my head round the options

I think it's the constant low frequency that helps, I think it brings the wind up gently over a long period and also helps them to relax. BUY BATTERIES WOMAN

Olive oil will have at most 3.3g of oleic acid per 100g, this falls as low as 0.8% for extra virgin.

If it was 40g of olive oil providing the required oleic acid then that'd be easy but it's not it's 40ml, different quantity. Olive oil weighs 80-92g per 100ml. So we're talking about 32-36.8g of olive oil. Still with me?

So, if in 32g of olive oil we have just 0.8% oleic acid then the amount required to be healthy must be 0.256g (I will round stuff later). But if it's 36.8g at 3.3% it's 1.2144g

So how much rapeseed oil do we need per day then if rapeseed oil is 60% oleic acid?

Well if we take the oleic acid weighs we worked out from the olive oil and we divide them by 6 and then times the answer by ten we get....

wait for it this is a good'un...

0.43g or 2.02g (both to 2 decimal places) as our range.

The right answer is somewhere in that range,

So my question back to you would be can your menuplan give us a bit more than 2g of rapeseed oil a day then? Coz if it can you've got the oleic acid thing sorted for sure. It might actually be a lot less than that but at the time of writing I didn't know what olive oil it was and I hadn't weighed any, so 2g is a cautious figure.

Neeeeext?

Weezl not to pressure you but I think skype would be easiest. It is simple to download, free and we can all IM each other easily and privatlyxxx

in which case I think it would be reasonable for him to pay for more chicken to replace it.

Not that i want to be hard on Mr arty, but because I think mr arty is a really nice guy and I'm sure he'd want to do that if he knew how you felt

Nearly forgot those

2 g per person per day, so that's 248g of oil in a 31 day month for 4 people?

ok it's 90g of oil to 100ml and we have 6 litres of the stuff, so that's massively more than required:D

Makes me wonder if my 60% figure is wrong

I got it off wikipedia assuming the canola rapeseed oil is analogous to our rapeseed oil, so you might need (pretty please) to just check that one out. But if it is so, then as you say that is great news!:T:T:T:T

Hannah_10

Canola rapeseed might be special though. Right will go check.

EDIT: Oh and you might not be wrong because don't forget oleic acid is known as "the smell of death" because dead insects give it off. So it would seem likely that lower the oleic acid the more posh an oil is gonna be considered. If that's right then posh EV olive oil is pretty likely to have a hell of a lot less than bog-standard cheap old rapeseed.

Right ok, done editing, back to work.
