To object to biscuits being served at NCT coffee mornings ?

katwith3kittens · 18/10/2007 23:00

I've just started going to my local NCT coffee mornings and I'm surprised to find that at all of the 5 or so homes I've been in all the kids are getting biscuits whilst the mums have coffee and cake.
I know I'll probably end up hosting one of these things one morning but I dont like the idea of providing sweet stuff for the under 2's. Wouldnt dried fruit or rice cakes be more appropriate ???

NoBiggy, tea and spam, perhaps?

AitchTwoOh · 19/10/2007 00:17

oh you are so Half-Scottish, lapin.

hunkermunker · 19/10/2007 00:18

Hey, Aitch, I have a breadmaker - shall I ponce about with it a bit and pretend it was no effort for you?

nappyaddict · 19/10/2007 00:20

jajas she probably thought it was a trick!!

aitch - i love the new forum bit on the BLW site. i always look there for new things to cook cos there's loads of different things all in one page!!

i've even passed the link onto friends without dc cos some of the recipes are so yummy!

I have a breadmaker but I wouldn't give a 2 year old a feckin' rice cake! Well I would but you know what I mean

littleNonSpecificHolidaylapin · 19/10/2007 00:22

DS is MAD for breadsticks at the mo actually.

nappyaddict · 19/10/2007 00:23

probably a dumb question but can you make breadsticks in a breadmaker?

NoBiggy · 19/10/2007 00:24

Would you rather your child smelled of spam, hummus or digestive?

I vote digestive.

(I've just had penguin biscuits).

FP, I very specifically thought of MN when DS1 had a rare prolonged tantrum when we ran out of apple rice cakes last summer...

fortyplus · 19/10/2007 00:25

nappyaddict - you make the dough but then you'd have to take it out, shape it and bake it in the oven

littleNonSpecificHolidaylapin · 19/10/2007 00:27

those apple rice cakes are really sweet....

AitchTwoOh · 19/10/2007 00:27

thanks, NA, that's really nice of you. we've been promised some good curry recipes tonight, hurrah! and yes, hunker, get thee to your email, you did promise.

AitchTwoOh · 19/10/2007 00:28

lol, lapin. poor dd just gets the plain ones. they smell of wee, i think.

fortyplus · 19/10/2007 00:28

hunker... 'I very specifically thought of MN when DS1 had a rare prolonged tantrum when we ran out of apple rice cakes last summer...'

SNORT!

Off to bed for me, now, lest I wake up unrefreshed and am unable to bake fresh bread before packing organic celery sticks into my children's lunch boxes

nappyaddict · 19/10/2007 00:32

oooh i was looking for a curry recipe earlier but couldn't find one.

nappyaddict · 19/10/2007 00:33

aitch is ther a way i can have updates sent to me? so whenever there is something new posted it emails me?

hunkermunker · 19/10/2007 00:33

Sweeter than a Tunnock's caramel wotsit, Lapin?

I like the apple ones - they saved me from lapsing into an exhausted coma one eventful train journey with five small children (DS1 in a buggy, DS2 in a sling) and three knackered adults...!

littleNonSpecificHolidaylapin · 19/10/2007 00:41

Little sneaky bugger... he raided a shopping bag in the kitchen, got the packet out, opened it, extracted a biscuit and stuffed it in his gob... all while I was on the loo!

hunkermunker · 19/10/2007 00:42

Sounds familiar! DS2 does that in the sodding trolley!

AitchTwoOh · 19/10/2007 00:51

euwww, while you were busy with a Tunnock's chocolate log (as we call them here) he made off with your caramel wafer.
sure there is, NA, you go to your profile and change the settings to receive email updates. although you will soon change back as they'll jam up your inbox.

littleNonSpecificHolidaylapin · 19/10/2007 01:09

It was a Number One, not a Number Two

Aitch, have an idea re pics but must go to bed as I have just remembered I said I'd drive DH into work tomorrow at 7am

hunkermunker · 19/10/2007 01:10

If he had time to grovel for and unwrap a wafer, it must've been a horse piss though, so less of the prim, Lapin

AitchTwoOh · 19/10/2007 01:41

ROFL

expatinscotland · 19/10/2007 02:03

Only read teh OP.

There are many things in life far worse.

I need to stop myself coming on here and find a way to get rid of this insomnia.

Because this is not for me now, this place.

Too much stress over nowt and other things which are just seeming shaness.

expatinscotland · 19/10/2007 02:04

I think this must be a troll, it's so shan.
