Ooh I have bacon too, how do you have the avacado? As a spread? Oh bu99er no bread just pita and tortilla! Cant do any main meals cos other half is way too fussy and wont eat it. Me and T will eat it, think I'll freeze some too.

r.mac - will remember sugarsnap peas when am next shopping thanks

Am wanting to do T a christmas eve hamper and a stocking for Xmas, anyone got any good/cheap ideas of things a 9month old will like or enjoy that I can start buying soon. I bought her a lil panda teddy from the Entertainer reduced to £2 from £10 and it has a name a star thing with it too I also have some xmas theme clothes and PJs that I got in the very sale last year.

Hi.

Lunch time - Chips consumed. Will never, ever loose the half a stone I want to drop sitting on my backside all day eating chips and bacon butties.

3 - Hope you are feeling better
Glam - Good luck with the job application and big move.
Aless - Don't envy you, 3 moves in 4 years and i'm done. No more moving, but good luck.

Can't remember any more sorry, have a headache.

Can I have reviews on Violet / Scout please. Am currently writing shopping list for xmas and have Violet down as a possible present for my niece who will be 10 months at Christmas. Do both Scout and Violet have the same names programmed to them. I'm looking for Annie?

OH and I not speaking again. Apparantly i'm in the wrong for getting pi55ed off with him borrowing money off me and never paying it back. Because he can't be bothered to go the the cash machine. The odd £2, £4, £6 is nothing apparently. No, but when you add it up over the month is always come to around £50 - £60, so it does matter. Especially when I'm the one sorting, double childcare, football camps, school uniforms etc and bl00dy Clarks school shoes at £32 yesterday :eek:. But anyway i'm petty and tight.:mad:

So boogered off to mates Saturday afternoon with kids for meet up and then took both boys to town yesterday. Clarks was amazingly quite, and Joe was an Angel for a change. :A

re: christmas I stole samis idea and gave LO the PJ's to open the ngiht before, meaning they are all smart for photos when present opening!

What a bout a wooden jigsaw? the ones where the shapes fit a hole and have a little handle? ELC had some reduced earlier in the month... they are perhaps a bit on the young side just yet, but they've always been a hit in our house.

EA - T can get up on all fours but just rocks and wont move that way, also she doesnt lift her head when she's on all 4s just when she is on her tummy.

<snip>
On a brighter note just gave T a carrot batton and she managed to work out how to get it in her mouth and have a good chew, so we may be moving on to BLW sooner than I expected! typical now I have a freezer full of various food cubes lol. Right off to decide what to do with my avacados hmmm...

Awww clever T! When i try that with Lily she just falls. She isn't a very stable person at times :rotfl:

Im thinking about maybe doing half BLW and half puree's. Recently i've been so stressed and busy i keep forgetting to make her food and just giving her milk.
DH never makes her food because he doesn't know what to do, usually i make it for him to feed her it.

Lily loves carrot sticks and yorkshire pudding

Same here, we have a very limited set of meals. Infact i wrote a rough meal plan for this coming week, we have:

T: Spanish chicken & rice (he's never had this before but im fed up of having jars in the cudboard that will never get used)
W:Chicken Fajitas
T: Meatballs & Pasta
F: BBQ chicken and bacon with something
S: Spag Bol
S: Roast Dinner
M: Chicken Burgers

Its pretty much what we had all last week aswell


Im quite annoyed, my approved foods order comes today and the email said i would get a 1 hour delivery slot when i checked the tracker this morning. It doesn't have one so i called the delivery comany and they have said they have an outsource company doing deliverys and it will be anytime between now and 3pm. And my college interview is at 2:30pm :rollseyes:

My neighbour isn't in either so she cant take the parcel in

Joe gets PJ's from the Chrismas elves / fairies on Christmas Eve along with some kind of Christmas book.

I am wanting to sort presents asap. I was so un-organised last year, when i was off on Maternity Leave. I ended up leaving everything until the last minute. But really should hold off on actually clicking to buy the numerous items i have in my basket on the Boots website (3 for 2 - and includes Violet), until after Alex birthday, in case i end up doubling up on things.

I always make up a Christmas eve hamper for the boys. It contains PJ's, slippers, house coat, mugs for hot chocolate, marsh mallows, a few sweets and a DVD. Means they sit and watch that before bed and seems to calm them down enough to sleep.

My back hurts, I think I uhm... hurt it last night... I'm not as bendy as I used to be... it's sore.

But you are obviously more blatant than I am

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


Kids get nothing on Christmas Eve at MFD towers! And TBH Benjamin didn't get much last year at all! At 9 months they haven't got a clue what is going on so I bought enough to stop DSS questioning why santa hadn't been to visit the baby too but left it at that.

This year he will get a little bit more but not much, he has tons of toys donated by my nephews so it seems really wasteful to buy any more...in fact, I may just wrap some of the stuff in the garage up for him :rotfl::rotfl:

Molly's getting a new sleepsuit on Christmas Eve so she doesn't look like a hobo in the photos in her stained/handmedown/funny fitting sleepsuits

I've finished my work for the day and am now feeding her bits of my leftover lunch. She is loving spicy turkey meat and flatbread but spat her own hot dogs and beans everywhere :rotfl:

jillie1974

made me and Kian some homemade chicken nuggets and he's ate some and then some apple puree as well.

What was the La Redoute offer?

I think it's ended now

My La redoute order arrived... I fluffed up the size on the velour sleepsuits and I'm really annoyed with myself now...

Give them a call, exchange orders have free p&p...I've had exchange a jacket that it too small for me...they are sending me the next size but I've had to pay the 41p it cost me (according to their invoice) and they will refund this when they receive the smaller one back


We've been to the doc this morning. We came out with more epaderm, hydrocrortisone cream, bath oil, another moisturisers and piriton. My poor wee man has made a mess of his feet using the carpet, shoes, socks, car seat to try and relieve the itch Hammy - it means I won't know it the goats milk has had any effect...
