    Weezl... uhm... I don't know. Its used in food (soft drinks) so I would assume not since it would have to be pretty stable for food use?

    And also, my Mum has been using your website. She has made a few of your meals and has noted down what extra things she has added in (coconut cream in the bean curry which btw was a HUGE hit) to jazz it up, mainly because it is a household with two chefs so they are used to highly flavoured foods. Anyway, she wanted to know if you would be interested in what she has been adding in. It's not expensive stuff since she has a budget of £120 a month for 3 adults. I just thought you would be interested in what a chef thinks, especially one who is out of work and on the breadline :D

    Shoes - Amber has cruisers only for outside and at nursery. Usually she wears those shocks from boots at nursery (till she takes them off) but she did need outside shoes for going. At home she is barefoot or in tights. I like baby feet :D

    My mum dug out my baby book, in the pictures I look so much like Alfie! Also I was very interested to see that I got my first tooth at 3 1/2 months, but my second didn't cut until I was 11 months!!!
  • Thanks re issue of sleeping through is hard when you have been woken for the 3rd or 4th time and need to be awake for feeding/changing but they always make up for it as he is currently asleep on his playgym looking so cute!!

    Thanks Tia :)

    I was wanting to include a gammon in cola in the next planner, and was wondering if cooking the coke makes it any more tooth kind.

    an YES! that would be fab re: your mum, and I'm all :o:) that she has found it of some use! xx

    edit: Tia would she like to email the website? We will happily use and absorb her feedback :)

    Weezl, for all the cola you will get on the gammon I personally can't see it making any difference? How much cola will actually come into contact with teeth anyway? And there would be saliva and stuff (yuck).

    I have told her to use the contact us page on the site. ;)

    Hi Tara, I'm good thanks, a bit tired and gutted its Monday tomorrow but other than that I can't complain! How are you?
    Yes, he is a proper little boy now. Currently sitting in his [STRIKE]baby jail [/STRIKE]playpen and alternating between reading a book and stacking rings!
    He's actually quiet for once!

    sorry- me not explaining properly! I was going to use all the 2l of coke up in recipes. inc the gammon cooking liquor.

    On reflection though, I do agreee with you that it is not really an issue :D

    Will be truly fab to have your mums feedback :T

    Afternoon,

    Sunday School was a hit they all loved running round instead of sitting at a table. There were only 5 today as it was absolutely chucking it down this morning, so that would have put of lot of parents off.

    Then spent an hour after the service sorting toys in the creche as we're swapping rooms.

    Katie was very cute, everyone she saw this morning had to admire her footwear.

    Hugs to everyone.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    Hey all we have been out this afternoon to pick up T a new toothbrush as I misplaced hers the other week and despite hunting high and low in our tiny house I cannot find it. You watch it show up now she has another tho! Anyhoo made the most of Gills lovely Peacocks voucher and I now have new pjs and nic knocks and T has some socks with grips on for when she is bigger and a fleecy sleep suit.

    Also went looking at raincoats. All the nice one are way too much money tho, I vaguely remember someone saying they got a regatta one recently from their online outlet, which one did you get and is it any good? Oh and how's there sizing?
