Toot...those Toilets sound very much like the old fashioned "Plumpsklo" as we used to call it in Germany...basically those were the outdoors loos where there would be a seat , well, a hole in a board that you can sit on, lol, and everything goes, well, just down there ...but don't think they used sawdust...back in the days....they are kind off smelly affairs if I remember correctly....I was "able" to use one as a child, when I stayed with my nan and we would go up to the old watermill, where there wasa public plumpsklo!
and sorry but lol at your son and that rainbowtrout....hopefully the bbq went well.....I love rainbowtrout...best tasting fish, imo
Speedy huhu....you will like it here, I tell ya I love it here anyway Hm about the chocolate cake with beetroot, now, I love raw beetroot juiced, or in bortsh...but in chocolate cake!
Sauerkraut...well, I was talking to dh, and he can be less then enthusiastic at times, you know...and he thought it is a lovely idea How about sometime next spring or summer, so, we have all time to save up some pennies, etc....I think it would a fabulous holiday
Lullaby....aww, sounds you are doing everything right and still get hit with the shit.....I just finished that boolk I taled about earlier, and it is really good and inspiring, the strenght the commitment and well, so muhc personality in the writer....she has a website, too...www.changesimply.com....this woman comes across as truely wonderful, and does things free of charge, by what I can tell in her book....I know her condition was completely different....but, she knows what it is like to be at the other end of things, and getting through it!
Franny....oh, Kids are never darn grateful, lol!
As for the shopping for schoolclothes...why the feck is it so difficult to get black boys schooltrousers size 11/12y...I mean...all the other sizes are there (and so is that exact size in other colours, of course), but I have, over the whole holiday period looked and have only been able to get hold of 2 pais in all..this is sooo bloody pathetic and the exaxt bloody reason I hate school uniforms so much!
Also, been looking since before the Holidays started for little blue school sweaters, and Asda never had them in small sizes, so, ended up spending a tenner on 2 plain blue school sweatshirts, only to walk into Aasda today and find they finally do small sizes and their jumpers are only £1.75....grrrrrrrrr....makes me so so angry...why not do away with school uniform and be happy I say, sigh!
Oh, I am sure tehre was somehting about Avocadoes and what to do with them on the thread at one point...and I must admit, am not the greatest fan of eating avocado in salad, or even as guatemole....however....it's fabulous in smoothies...it adds a lovely creamyness to them!
Anyways....didn't have the planned dinner, had a BBQ instead, and because I didn't fancy salad did have loads of carrotsticks and houmous on side....would also have had cucumber, but ys will turn green now, cos he ate basically one whole cucumber....well, I had one cucumber stick, and ms and es were able to get hold of 2 and the rest went into ys...lol....he is our little carb monstery vegetarian, lol....
