*I printed out an award, decorated it with uncooked pasta & glitter & stuck it on the fridge

I'm not sure that photo is good enough to judge by BoF.

My spice shelf is the highest shelf - I have decanted spices (which I buy from Indian grover so they come in little bags) into glass jars .

DD knocked the poppy seeds over a couple of weeks ago - the glass exploded and flung poppy seeds to the 4 corners of the earth. Am still finding them all over the place now!

I like making own curries as they can be v healyhy, however start adding cocpnut milk and all bets are off.

Mmm yes coconut milk.

I have a recipe for a loooovely curry that's very fat and full of almonds - not healthy at all.

I'll have to have a re-read of that thread. It was hilarious!

My Dad currently has Sean Connery as his facebook profile pic. I don't think I look like Sean Connery's daughter.

Best curry I make from a healthy POV is vindaloo (doesn't necessarily need to be insane hot, you can adjust the amount of chilli) - but it has no coconut, almonds or other usual suspects, and has quite a bit of cider vinegar which has good slimmmg properties (apparently).

Can't believe it, DS went to sleep after about 10 minutes of screaming. It seemed like an eternity and I feel so guilty.

I have the small corner cupboard devoted to spices/baking stuff. I got a couple of Rubbermaid two-tiered lazy susans on ebay from the U.S. so I can get at everything. They are fab for little useless corner cupboards!

Previously I had spice jars from Ikea that I decorated with puffy paint. Bloody XH got those by default. This is why, when you separate, you should make him move out. Lost all my accumulated gardening stuff too, v annoying. It was enough like starting over when I moved to the UK without having to do it again after five years!

I need to learn how to make curry.

I've only tried once, and foolishly used Delia's recipe for leftover chicken curry.
Truly vile.

I'm off to bed now ladies.

Night-night.

New thread in the morning methinks.

Good morning girls.

I can't run, my knees are hurting Every bloody time I get the motivation to run something gets in the way . Starting a course of ibuprofen today, and then will just do wii fit until the weather warms up. I think it's running in the cold that's buggered them up.

I have, however, identified one of my issues with food - I eat faster than anyone else so I finishe my supper sooner, and then get bored, in a 'nothing to do with my hands' kind of way so give myself more to eat and/or pick at left overs . Ideally I'd just come and play ont he computer but that's just a little bit rude, and would drive DH mad. he suggests getting me a puzzle book to do when I've finished. When the girls are older, maybe I'll do quizzes and things - I used to love family dinnertime quizzes as a child.

Mitts - hope you're feeling happier today.

Morning

FB - you shouldn't put more food on your fork until you have swallowed the food in your mouth. (will take my own advice one day )

I really hope i don't turn out like my mother. Unlikely really as i don't smoke or do drugs, and i moisturise and brush my teeth

Breakfast - ReadyBrek with banana and honey and glass of chocolate Nesquik (no, i am not 5!)

Lots i should do today, but still in my pyjamas, oh well, have a good day everyone

are we finishing this thread first? i had a great idea for a new thread title but i was too late (and it didnt even include cock)

Morning all,

I was up & down like a bloody yo-yo last night & it wasn't even to DS but DD who wanted water about 4 times, a cuddle 3 & just a general moan the other 650 times Made DH get up at 6 when DS started crying & I only got up half hour ago

Sorry I'm not catching up much at the mo bloody busy weekend, not what I had planned! Dreading Christening today my family occassions are always awful

Alice your breakfast sounds lovely, yum yum!

Morning all, am knackered, boys wake so bloody early.
Have SIL, BIL and nephew coming round this afternoon and then Roast Beef for dinner, yum.
Am hoping the boys will eat it rare......

Off to clean and tidy this cess pit of a house.

Morning!

Make a note Vin, I'm sure we'll need a new thread title soon enough.

Good luck with the christening Norma.

Woke up to DS covered in poop, so he's had a bath. Seems to be getting worse rather than better, but he doesn't seem unwell in himself.

Dinner sounds lovely Lizzy - can I come?

It will be on the table at 5pm, Norma, you are v welcome

Right, must clean up!

Lovely, see you then

Ooh, roast beef! I've never cooked roast beef.

right i am going to do some housework, then cook a roast dinner [domestic goddess]

might go for a bike ride later

GOod MOrning One and All!

I have lost 1lb this last week so a total of 4lb over the last 2 weeks. So not so bad.

Didn't come on last night or yesterday as was sodding exhausted having had 4hrs sleep on Friday courtesy of DS. I have not got touch and left him to cry and it took a while mins but he slept really well last night and we are all feeling a lot better.

Will go and catch up on thread now.

Right, here's my catch up

jet - hope your having a lovely child free weekend (wish I could have one!)

Alice - hope sickness has gone for you. Worst part of pregnancy until the end (when feeling like a bus takes over).

Yank - Hope DS sleeps better for you soon. I am having my own DS sleep related challenges at the moment, although he has been a lot better since I left him to yell about it. You do all you can then you realise that basically they are having a shout (still feel guilty though). DS is nearly 12 months though, like you I couldn't have left him at 5.5 mths
I did a similar thing with DS that shiney did though, as a baby and that worked too. He's just going through a phase (aren't they all) atm

Sazz - hope you had fun on our night away

I am a supermarket slut. I'll go anywhere that is convenient and cheap. Having said that, not a massive fan of Morrisons (bloody miserable cows work in our local one which really puts me off) and I get annoyed at Tesco saying they are cheap when they are not. My fave is Sainsbury's really. Aren't you all riveted with that piece of information on MyCat!

FB - one of the ways to lose weight is to eat more slowly as it sends messages to your stomache that you are full and you don't eat so much.

Sazz - meant fun on your night away. Not our night away. Don't want people talking!
