San Remo Fans Unite......
Welcome , Ciao ,

yes franca those kind of tapes .

ah yes very sad about cameron's son. was crying watching the news earlier.

DD1 had Olive oil after 6 months and parmigiano - only a bit grated ..I just did what the paed said ......

don't remember tbh. prob after 6 months like rosa said.

very sad about Cameron's son, even if they knew the score, don't think anything can prepare you to loose a child...

I have some of those tapes too, but from "R T L, cento due cinque"

Yes, after 6 months it is recommended by Italian paediatricians to give 1 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1 of parmigiano. It is a very healthy cheese.

Istria is lovely but it has stoney beaches .. Just popped on to see if anybody was round but now have to go and get dd1 and call into post office on the way ... ( I hate the post office).
DD1 deiscovered Nutella at nearly 3 ....good or bad ????

same age as DS, he didn't like/try sweet/chocolate and then one day I just put some on his lips, and now he comes home every day from school demanding "pane e tella" (obviously he does't get it every day, just too tempting for me otherwise )

same here rosa. she didn't like it before. and I wasn't offering it tbh.

She knows where it is now and asks for it - I hated the stuff but since the fritelle with nutella I rather like it ....After this jar there will be no more !
Rather quiet here today ......

yes... just got back. watching a new peppa's dvd as we were all so bored with the ones we had. and I soo needed a cuppa in peace

che silenzio!

I'm five min from putting dd1 to bed, dd2 is already in hers shattered but screaming. ohh I need a break.

dd went to sleep at 615pm, and ds just now. Ahhh, the peace!

same here (except dd2 crying for 15 min, or maybe 5 but sounded like a lifetime to my stressed and tired ears).

ahhh. living room a mess of toys but I am too fed up or exhausted to do anything. should do laundry as nothing left to wear - really! cannot be bothered.

i find that dd cries if she goes to bed overtired, so today we put her to bed earlier. The worse is when we put her to bed for the night - get ready to relax on the sofa and she goes off again. And all you want is lie on the sofa and relax.

living room and kitchen a mess, but cannot be bothered, as tomorrow iwll be exactly the same. mess more from me and dp than from ds though. i had a boy round to play this pm, and to be honest he might as well have stayed at home, really got on my nerves with his constant negative comments. ahhh, i am gong to become one of those women who hates other people's kids.

javier smtimes it seems you are talking about my life. I did put dd2 down at 6.15 too because she was exhausted. then smthing happened and she woke up again. took her down a minute to make her change her mood, which helps her, and then back up again. she was too tired so I let her scream a bit then she collapsed drifted off!

oh can't say anything in case I'm spied on but smtimes I want to throttle other people kids. mind you sometimes I want to throttle everybody!

all sounds frighteningly familiar!
in case anyone is spying damon and javier: we love other people kids, we are there baking cupcakes in our flowery aprons sunnily welcoming kiddies rushing happily around the house. i particularly liked the little boy who came over today. i wanted to throttle cuddle him.

do you like alan bennet?

I remember ages ago a thread in which a mum had terrible time with the playdate kid - a real pita - and called, on the thread not to his face obviously, a little sh*t. all mums were up in arms. I think that quite often tbh ! I know nursery teachers think that too, I've seen it in their eyes smtimes, and do not blame them. but I still like to have them round. they are nice at other times.

I have had an alan bennet book for years and still haven;t opedn. do you?

do you want to borrow the ferrante's book?

me too i think that, but i love having other kids round, haven;t banned anyone yet, sometimes i just lessen the invitations till i get over the stress of having them round. obviously other parents will think my ds is also a pita. Why is it that we cannot see what arses our kids are, but we only see arses in other kids?

yes would love to borrow the ferrante, will take it at next meet up. you can have the marcella serrano,not a fan personally.
i am listening to a bennett play on iplayer, very funny

I've got Writing Home.

oh I can see other parents thinking she's a pita. tbh sometimes she is a pita for me too but then it is balanced by the supercuteness and lovingness which other parents do not see or appreciate, naturally. having said that dh and I are convinced that any other parent would wish they had our children instead of theirs .

AB is as English as a cup of tea.
I now imagine you constantly looking in people's eyes, friends, the nursery teachers, to see if they think the kids are a pita. Ds is a pita too. But he is never deliberately nasty or mean, spiteful or manipulative,maybe I don;t see it, being my pfb. Of course, our children now can never have a playdate with each other, i would be checking your eyes to see if you think ds is pita, and you would come on here and slag me off. There is one child who comes over and is wonderful, i love her because she loves ds and ds loves her. Simple as that.
Do you think everybody is watching SanRemo, usually by this time Penthe is around..

I will have to go to bed, great i managed to mu8msnet and listen to a play, so i feel have had a productive evening.
