I have copied into word to read later susan.

Got to put the tea on and entertain a shouty/moany baby. This will involve singing xmas carols becuase I still dont know my nursery rhymes properly- d'oh!

I wish I was organised enough to get tea on now. Well technically I could have today, seeing as I'm not at work, and don't have a toddler under my feet either, but we always end up cooking once she is in bed. On work days this is hte only option, seeing as once she gets home she wants attention, not to be told to wait while I cook, but on Thursdays and Fridays I could do it if I set my mind to it. Not that we would eat before she went to bed, but at least we would be eating at 7:30 or so, rather than starting to cook then. I think I have just set myself a challenge.

my baby bit me I have to say it was extremely sore and drew blood :eek:

(shes running around now saying sorry mummy, naughty mummy, sorry, naughty naughty mummy! :rotfl: I'm ignoring her.

I wish it was bedtime - 50 mins until bathtime.....................and counting

ladybird - we're the same and I'm at home everyday! unless its somehting very slow cook, I make it once LO is in bed or when DH is putting her to bed. Often we don't eat until about 7.30 -8pm. tonight it is pancetta and pea pasta by heston blumenthal

Susan It's a good 'to the point'letter. I really hope they take some notice and change things. My Mum had a very bad experience with a baby after my little sister. Whited out for anyone who wishes not to read: She found out she'd lost him after her 20 week scan so had to be induced and give birth to him. She was induced, and put into a labour ward with four other women who were being induced to deliver their live babies! :eek: I don't know if that's normal treatment but it seems very wrong.

I sell mine to Kash for Klothes. They collect round here and pay 40p/kg IIRC. I think I got more than £5 (but less than £10) the time I had three big bags as I remember getting a five pound note.

Thank you - i've got three very full, very heavy large black bags full. I'll see how much I get. £5 is better in my purse than sitting in the shed. :rotfl:


Sami I thought i'd read back fully, but missed the furminator post. I haven't got one, but intend to get one and have been meaning to ask what size to get.

Aless :mad: for the idiots.

I'm glad it isn't just me rmac. We have mushrooms that desparately need using up, so I think it will be a mushroom omelette today, with courgettes (because we have tonnes of them too) and oven chips We are really reaping the benefits of the allotment now - the only fresh veg we are buying at the mo are mushrooms, plus I'm still buying the odd bit of fruit for Izzy too. We only have one kind of fruit at the moment, and variety is the spice of life

r.mac_2

you aren't alone! Your allotment always sounds delicious. We've discovered tinned fruit as I find it hard to keep us in fresh fruit at the moment - we go through it soooo fast. Tinned mango is yummy and way cheaper and tinned pears have been a huge hit with madame. I wouldn't mind about not having mushrooms as I don't like them, but I set that as your next growing challenge - apparently they ar every quick and easy to grow

Strangely DH has bought a kit for growing them, he's just not bothered to do anything with it yet. My dad is a amature mycologist, and goes off every weekend looking for mushrooms, then he comes home with his mushroom geek friends, and looks at them under microscopes and works out what they all are, and they eat the edible ones. They record everything they see, and report it to whoever it is that keeps records of these things and all sorts. I wouldn't trust myself to go out and pick them in the wild, but it is nice trying what he has picked. He doesn't share them with us very often though, sadly!

(I should add that I'm really good at growing loads of other kinds of mushrooms... although I'm a lot better at keeping an eye on what need using up these days )

my friend lost her baby at 24 weeks... she was sent home from the hospital and given a date to return so they could deliver the baby. how she did it i will never know.
when my mum had a m/c in 1976 she was put on a ward with women who had all just had babies.
