    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 right :D

    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.

    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?

    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 :D

    anything lovely and exciting happened?

    ps fairies opened 2 weeks worth of post and found four £1 off pampers vouchers

    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!

    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!

    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?
