    Evening all

    Prpbably shouldn't be posting here has I have had a non OS day.

    I went shopping with my friend and had a lovely day, spent several hours in a coffee shop putting the world to rights and catching up on some gossip.

    Bought a present for my friends birthday in a few weeks.

    Dinner was chips and tosties.

    OH is putting kids to bed and I am sitting with my feet up watching TV.

    Tomorrow though I am planning a full on day of OSing, kids should be out with my parents and OH will be at work so no excuse for getting on.

    have been busy, busy, busy :D hoovered, swept and mopped the bathroom and kitchen, gave the litchen and bathroom a wipeover and moved the duster (and dust) around. also just made a fishpie. last time i made it with soya milk and it tasted too sweet so did it with rice milk this time and ds is currently eating his second lot :eek: tasted much better. need to think up some puddings for him as he is getting fed up with jelly!

    Rice milk isn't reccomended for under 5's.

    bargainbird - mine has gone to bed too - also before the children. He has man flu apparently :cool:

    animals are fed, must go and put the hens to bed. Muffins are in and baking, and I have prepped lunches. I just need to make myself do 15 minutes of cleaning......

    have been told its ok?

    ETA just read on the cartoon that its not recommended to replace formula. its ok as long as its part of balanced diet :undecided

    I think with rice milk its suitable as long as it the child has a balanced diet. Well at least thats what the dietician told me about 6 years ago. snips (ds2) wouldn't drink cows milk, but now decided he does.

    Well i didn't do our room. Instead we were out all day, sorting stuff out. Had a nice tea, courtesy of finding a huge tub of frozen toms in the the freezer, so had them with sausages, onion, roasties, yorkshire puds and veg. Followed by bread and butter pudding with custard. hmm yummy.

    Oh wasn't impressed as denied him the last 6 sausages, saying they were for tomorrows lunch. so he went in a mood. Well he shouldn't be a porker. But we now have lots of bread, all cooked in the oven with the toms etc.;)

    Well going to put the kettle on, i'm blooming freezing.

    no he's not a SOTD :D just a bit on the self-centred side. His excuse was that he was working until 5am on Sunday morning:cool: he's had ample time plus he could always have posted a card. He had the nerve to remind people that it was Mother's day when he was doing his radio show last week:mad:

    Didn't get one last year either so not a suprise.

    Taplord is a bit up and down, ok one day and poorly the next. Thanks for asking x

    Not sure when I'm meeting JackieO yet - but I'll say hi from everyone!

    Taplady, say Hi to JackieO from all of us, hope she's having a good holiday. DS1 didn't send me a card either, the other 2 managed and he only lives 20 miles away. (Just moaning cos he still has my hoover and I had to brush the floors with a dustpan and brush).

    Nearly finished knitting my first attempt at a baby cardy - have only ever knitted scarves before and it doesn't look too bad. Not keen on the sewing up bit though! Made this in white but now I know the model I can choose other colours. Someone lent me a Debbie Bliss knitting book which has some lovely, fairly simple, stuff in.

    Cleaned the windows upstairs inside and out, swept the floors, made fishcakes and stir fry for tea, collected dress from cleaners and took a load of stuff to the CS, including single bedding - we haven't had a single bed in this house for about 2 years! DD made a fabby victoria sponge today when she came home from work. She went off to start her new job this morning only to find out that it's tomorrow she starts!

    Hope your Mondays were good, take care. XX

    DC3 has dietry problems and is under a dietician and last year we went lactose free. When going through what he could and couldn't have rice milk was flagged up as unsuitable because of the high arsenic levels in it. So I was told that they would not reccomend it for under 5's. This is the study he showed me http://www.abdn.ac.uk/mediareleases/release.php?id=1266
