Welcome , Ciao ,

Yes DD has had espresso practically from birth. well, not quite from birth, but as soon as she could toddle off to the bar with DP.

You should take up knitting, it is wonderfully relaxing. I used to knit during my A level classes at school, particularly in my French lessons (which is quite apt really, when one considers the tricoteuses). My best grades were in French, so it must mean something. I never did managed to finish a jumper though, used to get as far as the sleeves then get bored.

Glad you like the banana cake, it's a favourite of mine, if only becasue it makes my house smell so nice.

Yuk at that bag, but then I'm not a huge fan of quilted anythings. did you read that american quilted toilet paper is destroying the world more than hummers? There was a comment in the Guardian that in fact bidet use is much greener than either toilet paper or showering every day. So there to all those bidet doubters!

Yes, I read that and thought of you all!

franca was confessing to a shameful liking of the Chanel quilted bag, so I was trying to find her a cheap-fix alternative!

well, will try the fabric shop tomorrow and see what's on offer... might even make some wool soaker/longies for DD, well, after some practice...

might get the last bit of tiramisu' out...

I now Sunflower re the hassle, but it's sad all the same. The annoying thing now is she'll have to be put on DP's passport, which means I could never travel long haul alone with her. I did ask about an Italian passport only to be told by some muppet at the questura that it's discouraged/not allowed (he couldn't decide which) for cildren under 8 or something. Boh.

oh, didn't see that article...

I should have started a thread about it.

why? DS has his own passport, as will DD, eventually... and you jst need a leter from DP (they asked me that at gatwick, though didn't need it as DS is also on my passport, but although he has both our surnames on his birt cert etc, he could only have DP's on his italian passport) he probably didn't know so came up with that

"AIBU to think that the British are disgusting and environmentally unfriendly for not having bidets in their homes?"

3 bidet threads in as manyh months? go on...

penthe, you really want to be flamed!

Uffa, I'm hungry and there's nothing sfizioso in casa. I really need to do some shopping. I've eaten practically nothing all day, made a leek and pecorino frittata for dinner, cut myself one slice, then got back after putting DD to bed to find DP had eaten it all. What a pig. Still, he's the one with the belly now, mine's going down and I'm becoming quite muscly.

Are you going to the gym?

I haven't done any "official" exercise since DD was born, but I feel quite fit, as I'm on my feet most of the day, or lugging her heavy little body around.

Can you really? I did suspect the questura guy was talking out of his bum. I also have to travel with DD's birth cert to show we are indeed related, although they only ever request this at Gatwick. What happens if another relative travels with your child. eg. my mum? Surely there are pepole with different surnames all over the UK?

Go on Penthe, I dare you! Try and work in something about not rinsing one's dishes as well. we'll back you up, promise!

DH does that to me. Mostly with ice cream. I fancy some ice cream, and then there's none.

Yes, my Xmas present was 6 months at the gym. I gave up kickboxing last year and was admittedly getting too sedentary, especially now I don't need to go anywhere on my bike anymore.

Yes, sometimes the last time I see certain food items is when it's going through the till at the supermarket. Whooosh and it's gone!

All hell would break loose, though.

Must admit - I still ponder over whoever it was on that bidet thead who thought bidets were disgusting because they were a reminder of bottoms and washing them.

And I'm like, WTF: what do you do in your toilet then? Wash dishes? (So long as you rinse them under constantly running water, of course! )

You do get good biceps from lugging a littlie around all day, though it does bugger up your back, unless you're very sensible and switch sides frequently.

Good for you - I'm impressed. I think I'll join the work gym once I'm back in September, and try to squeeze it into my working day. I'll never manage it otherwise, I reckon.

DH is a terrible midnight snacker.

It's funny - we're posting with a time-delay, IYSWIM!

Ah the ones that croweth the loudest probably have the smelliest bums and would secretly luuurve a bidet but wouldn't want to be thought of as "forrin" or having a gay husband.

there was a comment on one thread saying that your only needed to wash if you had a hairy bumhole and her DH didn't have a hairy one. Whaaat!?! Does he wax his crack? I've never met a man withought hairs down there (unless gay of course).

I know, it's like beiing on a satellite phone.

Blimey, I wrote withought. WTF?

LOL @ hairy bumholes!

Does that mean that if her DH had had a hairy bumhole, she'd have plumbed in a bidet rightaway?

I can see the ads on the new homes now: "hairy arse??? Come this way" We have bidets!"
