Ugh - Benjamin hasn't had a bath since Friday night so he was lovely and sweaty headed when I got back this morning! MIL had washed him but hadn't washed his hair and when he is slicked in suncream all day he needs a good dunk!
The CM has got the paddling pool out this afternoon though so he might be clean enough by the time he comes home lol
Edit - actually, she had 2 paddling pools out...a larger one (say 2 foot deep) for the girls and a smaller one for Benjamin! When she told me I laughed and she said 'I know, I know, he will be in with the girls causing mischief if I know Benjamin!'
Exactly rightplease listen to MFD - she is a wise womanProud Mummy to the gorgeous Benjamin John born 14 March 2009, 8lbs 14ozA new little seedling on the way, due 30 September 20120 -
3, I don't bother with particular oils tbh. If it's to fry something that needs colour, use vegetable oil or if its to be fried at a high heat. If its a low heat and doesn't need colour, olive oil will do.0

Thanks Tia.
It's chinese fried sweet chilli chicken. The groundnut oil is just for deep frying the battered chicken. I wasn't sure if it gave some special flavor?:beer:0 -
hi everyone,
sneaked off for some sunshine at my mum's for a couple of weeks but back to normal now!
Thomas is livlier than ever, likes standing up holding onto things but fortunately hasn't learnt how to get to standing position...yet. He has just about, unfortunately, outgrown his daytime naps though. Weaning going messily well too - the only real turned up nose was at raw tomato! I am still bf 3-4 times a day, reckon I'll be doing this for a while yet, can't believe he's 6 months old already!
ooh am happy - finally got some money from tax credits
anything lovely and exciting happened?

Olive oil will give it a flavour....do you have sunflower oil? Or vegetable oil?
Not that it really matters - as long as you like the taste of olive oil.
Not a very MSE way to deep fry though!please listen to MFD - she is a wise womanProud Mummy to the gorgeous Benjamin John born 14 March 2009, 8lbs 14ozA new little seedling on the way, due 30 September 20120 -
I'm trying to arrange a christening for T. I emailed the vicar a couple of weeks ago and he said there was only one spot left so to get in touch with my details asap. I did this and heard nothing back so I phoned and left a message and he's emailed back with this
You are listed for the christenings on the date you wanted the 24th October at 12.15 pm. The Revd. David Prescott will be the Minister taking the service as I will have retired from Ministry by then.
I wish you well and pray that all will go well.
I presume this other rev will get in touch with me beforehand but does anyone who's had a christening know if there's anything else I need to do beforehand? It's not my local church, it's near my parents, where I grew up. I've found and provisionally booked a social club for afterwards but I dont want to pay my deposit and then have things go wrong!Mummy to Thomas born April 27th 2010 8lb 5oz0 -

I found out she was still texting him so sent her a message with a lot of swear words and also told her we were still sleeping together(we arent!) i then got so annoyed i put up an ad with her number and also plastered it over bebo to text what they thought about her! anyone want it??? dont know what effect it will have but its sure made me feel better;)
What's for you won't go past you0 -
any other suggestions are very welcome and a trip to manchester would also kill 2 birds with one stoneWhat's for you won't go past you0

when i arranged Kian's the curate said that the vicar would be in touch nearer the time, i know we are definitely 'booked' though as i saw the sheet they have with all the names on it. he said they like to meet parents and godparents beforehand to make sure everyone is fully understanding of the commitment they are undertaking. i did mention that 2 of the godparents wont actually be in Manchester till the day before the christening....we may have to 'skype the meeting' if thats too late lol!!
could you ring and find out?'Children are not things to be moulded, but are people to be unfolded'0 -
