She can choose which days she goes in etc and is paid £68 per day!! Not bad for 16!! Tony is just fleecing me for pennies!!
    oh lovely, summer hols were so the best bit of my life at their age and what a fab job! I remember some of my friends doing modern apprenticeships with me were only on £65 a week :eek:

    Elijah is a bit older but his breakfast is usually greek-style yogurt with a fromage frais mixed in, weetabix, porridge, or toast. I feel like that's enough variety honestly, it's as much as I get in my breakfast :p

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • Benjamin has porridge (sometimes with the discarded bits of apple from the organix boxes of raisins and apple - he won't eat the apple LOL), weetabix or shreddies with me. Followed by 2 fromage frais (he is like his mother, one ff is never enough) and some fruit.

    Thanks Angela, Sugar, Bruno and MFD! I am glad you are not all feeding your LOs fancy pancakes every day and I am not the only one giving cereal. Will need to start adding variety of fruit at least I think. I think that cereal every day is fine, I suppose I just feel that she should be trying a wider variety and I am guilty of not providing that. Appreciate the feedback anyway.

    Off out now. x

    I know...she's having a whale of a time shopping and pics etc and she's only doing a few days a week...

    Krystal has just reminded me....do any of your little ones just go off food they used to like? Rose used to love fish of any sort. Fish pie was her fav...she will not touch it anymore. She has a chest infection around the time she went off it but still does not like it now she's okay now. She has also went off cucumber and carrot sticks even tho she used to love them....strange!!

    hmm, how do I word feedback for a seller that stated on the invoice "Once we have recieved clear payment your item will be dispatched within 3 working days and delivered within a further 4-5 working days"
    I paid within mins of BIN on 16th and it arrived today its got 1st class postage so they have taken 5 or 6 working days to post it assuming the don't work saturdays

    Aimee did that over loads of things Angela... She used to love pizza fingers, and also any kind of pasta... Then she just stopped eating both... Around the same time she also wouldn't eat anything in a white sauce, or anything with gravy on... She still doesn't have gravy on a cooked dinner now... But she will eat most things I give her... It took from about 18m to 4 1/2-5 before tea time was less of a battle though...

    I think its just general fads Angela, Chris used to eat fish pie or just mash until I thought it might start coming out if his ears but now he won't touch it.
    I had a phase of about 5years where I refused to eat any fish bar fish fingers - kids ay!

    Krystal do you think it was her going to school that helped with eating? I'm hoping peer pressure with work on Chris when he starts nursery, he used to eat alsorts for the CM because everyone else was *rolleyes*

    Benjamin loves those little scotch pancakes that you buy in the supermarket but he doesn't get them for breakfast - we use them as a dessert or a sweet snack that isn't messy!!

    DSS gets nutella on toast at home because the advert says it is good for kids *rolleyes*
