Morning everyone, I hope you are all well. Well here is another day in the life of Lenny the father and what a start to the day it has been. I got back from droppping OH off at work, I go to pick the little fella out of his car seat and BARF :eek: vomit everywhere, all over the him, me, car seat and car. Euwww. Anyway he's not so bad now, Ive cleaned from head to toe with baby wipes although there is still a smell of hot cheese and onion around the place. Nice. Any tips gratefully received. Len

    Oh heck! Sponge the carseat & car with a solution of bicarb in warm water....gets the smell out the OS way, without spending on expensive Febreeze-type stuff :)

    I bet he's feeling great now he's chucked everywhere :D

    Morning Lenny, sounds like an eventful morning already! Can't give any tips really, apart from wash him, his clothes, your clothes, if you can remove the car seat cover and wash that - do, very hot soap and water to clean the car upholstery. And then maybe if you've got a supply of those smelly tree air fresheners, hang about a million of those in the car, to help rid it of the smell!!

    Bless him (DS, not you Lenny!), glad to hear he's fine now though!

    Morning all! :D

    Lenny, I don't have kids but what you've described sounds exactly like my OH after a big night out. What I tend to do is put him in the shower, hose him down (clothes and all) and then make him sleep on the sofa. Not quite sure that's advice you should be following though.... ;)

    Seriously, hope all is going well with the little'un. Have been reading your expolits with interest (and a hint of amusement :D )

    Hope everyone has a great day :T

    Just a quick :hello: before the IPTW guys get here but I agree with the bicard in warm water. BUT if you've got sensitive or broken skin wear rubber gloves! IF not makes sure you put moisturiser on afterwards or else your hands will get REALLY dry and sore. (Speaking from experience here...)

    That's the one!

    Well, excite in the Bess household this morning! I've got the day off and just doing a few bits and bobs. We live in a rented house and have been awaiting delivery of a new oven for about 6 months now! Well, at 10.30 they rang, and by 11 they had been and we now have a new oven! Woo hoo! That might be the highlight of the day!
