MSE Parents Club Part 12

i personally recommend making ur own nutter, apple curd and orange marmalade. Sooooo easy and tasty. I'm a peanut butter addict but dislike the uk brand stuff...so making my own actually tastes better, yum.

Even better that weezl did most of the work while popping out kessie

Hmph, has turned cloudy and chilly right as we wantedto go to the park. I have also gotten NOTHING on my list accomplished today - how is it almost 3pm?!

3- it was my post - I posted about how we found the letting agents for our neighbours from hell but then re-read your original post about it being privately owned so it didnt really apply - I went to delete that bit but deleted the whole post instead - sorry your not going mad:D

Thank you! I thought i'd lost my mind. (I thought i'd been dreaming about Tia a few nights ago too!)

Even if its privately owned, they could still be renting out through an agent though couldn't they?

I think she's going to pay the £4 to the land reg for info.

The house has changed hands quite a bit since the owner died years ago (I think I still lived at home!) and some of the first landlords were really good and helpful, giving Mum their numbers if there was any trouble.

I went to Mums last weekend, and one of the chav sons was sitting on the front step in shorts with his scrawny little body out, made a really loud belch as I got out of the car which totally amused him, then made vile comments about my bottom as I went into the house. :mad: You know the type!

J really enjoyed his first school holiday last year - I just worried all week, as i'm sure i'll do this week too. We were packing his bag yesterday and he was looking happy and signing holiday to us. (we had to check through our Makaton books to figure out what he was signing first!).

thank you, that is really kind of you *chuffed*

I have worked out the calories fat etc for each recipe (well aless has done lots of the nutrition actually :A) so that's all going to be on there too at some point.

We're working on veggie and vegan versions now

Weezl I'm impressed! But how do you find the time? OH is going to find some new meals in my menu now (and the fussy bu66er had best not complain!)

Does anyone else feel that they cook/eat the same stuff all the time?

Weezl that site is mighty impressive and the fact you've done it all whilst pregnant or with two little boy's to look after is even more impressive. It'll be great to have the calories/fat etc as then I can point everything for weight watchers and save money on my food shop.

I am going to make that onion tart (weezl gave it a fancy name that I can't spell). I love onions and have a huge bag of the tesco value ones. No balsamic though... I may add some garlic puree instead. Or soy sauce?

csh, the britax eclipse, it's £75 on mothercare and kiddicare online, but the kiddiecare one looks nicer to me. Fits in both cars.

Weezl - am on iPod atm but site looks fab will look more when I get on comp.

Aless - thanks for the link will def check out nutter I love that kinda thing.

Forgot to mention I saw big tubs of aqueous cream in tesco the other day only £1 a real bargain as I paid £2 for a tube a 3rd of the size! I initially used mine on T's spots but they cleared up lovely and am now using it on her cradle cap and is also working a treat

They sound like they could be related to mine - we call her mimi maguire lol actually loud enough for her to hear too - that daft bint probably thinks thats a compliment:cool: I rang round our local letting agents to see if they managed the property - even if they dont they may give you some advice on how to find out?

I feel like we eat the same things all the time too - probably down to my carp cooking skills but not anymore thanks to Weezl

No Ive never heard of it before even though its only about 1 hr from where we live - OH heard about it as James(his fav band ever) are headlining - have you got your tickets? Im still hanging on until we find out we are ok to go that weekend.

...yes, swap any of those things for the balsamic. Nomnomnom

Thanks Weezl, I found the site.

Now, what I need is a interactive meal planner, so I could swap some things over (some of it my family wouldn't eat), but I think I will go for the 'if I'm cooking, this is what you are getting' approach and introduce a few dishes It looks yummy to me, I'm not as fussy as them, mainly DH.
