Hello you lot! Morning

Straight to the point, anyone have a recipe for mince that isn't Spag bol or Cottage pie?

Have 500g beef mince from freezer that needs to go and need inspiration!

haha How funny - and he probably would it just flows out of his mouth doesnt it.....

I know your'e in London Hun, just wondered where, my freind used to Nanny in Putney. I WISHED I had of done it too, I really do. I was offered a Nannying job in Rome when I was 17 but declined - arghhhh!!!

I ended up in a bank in Piccadilly, and used to get the 22 to meet my friend in Putney. The Dad was something to do with Chelsea FC and they were really nice, I stayed over with my mate too, they didnt mind! Nice kids too!

fifilou · 12/06/2007 13:38

crace- thats so sad, poor little love!

Its so frightening when they are that small, but ive seen so many prem babies fight their way to toddlerdome, and are now chubby bouncing tornados! it sounds like shes putting up a fight.

Sorry, dmo - just saw your reply. Doing good actually, better than expected. Very sweet to ask. America was beyond brilliant - had a fab time but missing home now.

A very close friend of mine's sister delivered her daughter at 24.5 weeks a few days ago. She's a whopping 1 lb 8oz which is quite big for her gestational age. Poor wee thing is fighting off infections, and has a hole in her intestines that they've had to try to fix. They think she has a fighting chance. How sad is that though? Just goes to show how much it takes to bring the little ones here.
