Thanks Greying. I admire SIL who is determined to carry on breastfeeding until at least his first birthday.

It can be done Get's more difficult, as they become curious as to what else is going on around them. But it can be done. Your SIL is to be admired indeed

Happy wedding anniversay - September is obviously a popular month for weddings with MSE'rs :D

We had an appointment today with an 'expert' (I admit, I was gobsmacked that it was suggested that introducing sesame - a well-known allergen - already was a good idea for your little nephew. Grrrr.) We arrived and were told a) we were not on the system, (despite having a letter - a hand-signed letter - that clearly stated it), b) it was the wrong sort of appointment for a Friday, c) could we come back on Tuesday.

It smacks of the trains not running because of 'the wrong sort of leaves' on the line...!

Must be a worry for you all. Good luck with it all, to you and all the family. X

I cooked eat-your-greens mac 'n' cheese (the cover recipe from this month's Sainsbury's magazine) for dinner. A bit of a faff but delicious :drool: unfortunately Mr MWC was so impressed that he thinks I should cook more often :eek:

:rotfl: I can cook (I have an A level in home ec) but I can't be @rsed after a 45-60 minute commute home... Mr MWC can cook, enjoys it and works from home when he's not travelling... no brainer really :rotfl: I have offered to quit my job and be a housewife!

Plans for today:
- walk into town to run a few errands
- go to the supermarket (I have more £8 off a £40 spend coupons and lots of the things I normally buy are on offer )
- housework
- dodge the showers and potter in the garden
- make a start on the book chapter I'm writing for work (I've been putting it off, it's freaking me out a lot :eek: and I wish I'd never agreed to do it )

Ooh, tell more about your book, if you can!

Otherwise ... yes, a no-brainer, Mr MWC should often be doing the cooking

If he can cook and likes it, then sounds like a brilliant plan. We just go with whoever is home first.

That's a great coupon - how did you manage that?

Back to being commis chef and potwash this evening :rotfl:

We had a single-order Cook Well from W/rose recipe box (50% discount) delivered this afternoon so dinner was farro, beetroot and pecorino risotto with orange and thyme roasted baby carrots served with a radicchio (from the garden) salad. I'm impressed so far but, even with the 50% discount, it's too pricey for more than a very occasional order.

Mr MWC has contributed £200 to the cause so I've made a mid-month MOP of £500 :j

Hi MWC - what winter salad plugs did you go for? Always keen to learn from others who know more than me!
