    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Some kids just played 'Knock door run' on my door, i like to think that kids were smart, but clearly not.
    They stood outside the door giggling very loud for ages, knocked really loud, laughed and i heard them run off.

    Im not even going to answer to pee them off :rotfl:

    DH thinks i should stand in the front room window and when they knock again, bang the window hard and shout BOO! :rotfl:

    If you ever have the time, you should try the carrot cake from cheap family recipes.

    Afternoon all, congrats EA on the scan glad things are ok. Congrats on the job Aless - sorry is about as far as I read. Thanks re advice yesterday I slept most of the afternoon and evening after DH came home early to look after t, we did give him 2 bottles as I was getting dehydrated but have bfed all night and today and he seems content. As a 7 week old did any of you try to put them into a bed routine? For last few nights we have tried to put him into cot after his bath but he is always unsettled so we spend most of our night in there. I am thinking to bring him downstairs and either cuddle him or put him in his chair and does settle during the day in this, then we can enjoy our evening or would you pursue trying to get him used to his cot? He sleeps ok at night, usually settles after a 10 pm feed, then feed at 12, 2 or 3, then 5, before a feed at 7 (can be a bit restless after 5 feed)

    My roasted parsnips are always quite soft? I use olive oil so it may be that. (I am doing some now, with carrots, BNS, mushrooms and wee tatties with some chicken breasts)

    No idea what to do with pomegranit for babes, but I love it in salad!
