Hi zoo -- I was at Seniors tonight and then got home, put Toddler to bed (late night for him) and had my dinner.

Hi zoo - I was at a meeting.

I am just settling into the sofa now

A new banana muffin recipe would be great as I still have 3 very ripe bananas to use.

Thanks for the reminder zoo - are you guys going to watch it live?

I think we can safely say that all muffin recipes are always going to be well recieved on this thread!

I am just recovering from my manic day & half watching a thing about fat & obesity we have recorded.

I am watching that too bessie and have just commented to Dh that I was waiting for them to blame the mother, as they always do, and they just did.

I would now like them to explain why I have one skinny and one a little plumper?

we are watching it on a slight delay & have just seen that bit (mine are both chubbers - DD2 has hit the 97th percentile!)

Both of mine were in the 90 somethingth in their first year. Ds dropped down to below the 20th or something like that, which was when they started making a fuss. It coincided with him self weaning, learning to walk and immediately learning to run so it is not hard to do the Maths really.

With all the extra feeding we do we are managing to keep him at a weight the hospital find acceptable. Phew!

Dd has gone up and down constantly depending upon the stage in her growth cycle. Every time I get anxious she shoots up and goes all skinny again. Unfortunately, this time, the growth spurt is slow in coming

We used to call ds "Jabba" when he was a baby as he was so round.

(Now we can see every bone and the shape of his "innards" on this stomach etc)

Morning all, I'm up Waaayyyy too early (thanks to DD waking me in the night, twice) (yes, I'm moaning again!) but maybe this means I can get a head start on some jobs and have a nap later. [hopeful emoticon].

I did one lot of washing up then had a bit of a nap on the sofa, was woken up again by DD at 6.40am so am now up for the day. --unless I feel tired later-- I still have a sore throat but I will just have to plod on regardless.

Morning all!

Sorry to hear about disturbed nights. Ds was quiet last night but dd woke me up at 6 something. She is nearly 11 so knows better!

I have the psychologist today so will have to squeeze what I can into a very small window this morning as the travel time means it will take up the majority of the morning.

Thanks for the recipe zoo. I am just about to copy and paste it before I lose it.

good luck carrots

lurking while i eat breakfast -and watch jeremy vile

Thanks zoo. I have got used to going there but today we discuss the "mild social disfunction" so I find out if that is not a big deal or if it is something to worry about. More to the point I want to know how to make it NO social disfunction!!!

if you find out can you teach me?....im not a social functioner either!!!!

Carrots please lets me know what they say as I might find it useful. Wishing you luck whatever the outcome. x
