    So DS was being all dramatic again today and decided to fall off a tall slide at the pub where friends of mine were having the party after their DD Christening. I grabbed him off the person who got to him first and he proceeded to throw up all over me-so I automatically went into 'CONCUSSION' mode-luckily, XOH showed up then and checked him over and said he was ok, it was just because he was upset. But I have to keep my eye on him apparently. I also have to go and wash puke out of hair. (DS also had a GRASS stain on the top of his head where he landed, lol!)

    I swear I am going to be spending a great deal of time in A&E with that child...

    I've always said that about my DS too Bunny - he's always the one at the top of the tree, jumping off walls etc but seems to have survived unscathed so far. I hate watching him at play though...you don't want to make them scared of heights so don't want to shout out to be careful but sometimes it's just mad!

  • Today had to be better than yesterday. Head gasket went on the car, whilst we were 80 miles from home. Spent 3 hours waiting for the recovery truck with an 11 month old, an 11 year old and a diabetic. The joys!

    Ask her for me Gemmzie :D

    We didnt have any carrots anyhoo so I made a lemon drizzle cake - smells yummy :p

    100g Rice Flour,
    50g Soft Brown Sugar
    50g Golden Syrup
    75ml Sunflower Oil
    1 teaspoon Baking Powder
    1/2 teaspoon Bicarb of Soda
    100g Carrots (grated)

    And it's vegan and can be made wheat/gluten free with a quick change of baking powder to a wheat-free version.

    It's gorgeous!

    Thank you so much for that Gemmzie :A

    I've already got rice flour, and was looking at it this afternoon wondering what the heck I could use it for :T

    Apparently my lemon cake is very lemony - I think someone is missing the point :confused: :rotfl:
