I'm sure it's fine. There's no history of allergies in either family, so I can't imagine it'd be a problem. But there's always that lingering doubt... Have no fear, though: I will, of course, go to the natural foods shop and have them grind up peanuts, and only peanuts, for my peanut butter. T'will not be some mass-produced trans-fats infested fare.

Javier, we've got telecapri here too, it airs lots of b/w movies!

Speaking about movies, do you remember how many films used to be broadcasted when we were children? I've seen so many!

Penthe .

Penthesileia · 30/10/2009 13:08

I am feeling a little cheated, I must admit. My mum was quite strict about the amount of TV we could watch (for instance, thought Grange Hill was "common" - she was a bit of a snob...), and when I was packed off to boarding school we could only watch TV on Saturday evenings (and then the big girls chose what to watch - always Blind Date and Casualty - it was ages before I was a big girl). So I have missed out on loads of essential TV watching.

Bum bum , Minrosa will not sleep so I am off out as she has to sleep before I get dd from nursery. This afternoon was the tidy out of dd room and get it ready for nonna in arrivo next week ...Heavens knows when I will get it done now!
Penthe re peanut butter I think its ok after 12 mths if no history of allergy in family - I always try a tiny tiny bit of anything first and sit and wait!!!!!! Minirosa has a funny red sore bum with raspberries so holding off on them for a bit longer

Penthesileia · 30/10/2009 13:22

Oh, Rosa, poor you. It is so draining when they won't drop off. Fingers crossed. Thanks for peanut butter advice.

TheMysticMasseuse · 30/10/2009 13:48

Penthe i bet they never showed this kind of rubbish in the UK. seriously, i loooooved all of them (LO, Mimi- think Mimi was my fave) but they were really quite grownup! Georgie was basically soft porn (lots of "shots" of her naked plus the incestuous thing). I think i would prefer the dds to stick to shaun the sheep for as long as humanly possible...

Penthe boarding school sounds awful

TheMysticMasseuse · 30/10/2009 13:50

btw does anyone remember a cartoon about some kind of post-nuclear world with a little girl called Lana? i think it was showing on reteoro or similar. saw it twice when i was 6 and really, really made an impression on me!

btw ... [aabout to reveal shameful secret].... i went to Pane e Marmellata with my school when i was 8, so i have been on tv

JavierBardem · 30/10/2009 13:57

I just checked out Georgie on youtube, bloody HELLLLLLLL!¬ lots of nakedish pics! Would have loved it as a girl.

JavierBardem · 30/10/2009 14:02

What is Pane e marmellata? Come Piccoli Fans?

Era Conan il ragazzo del futuro?

TheMysticMasseuse · 30/10/2009 14:12

siiiii era Conan!!!!!

francaghostohollywood · 30/10/2009 14:27

Oh Conan il ragazzo del futuro!!! I remember that one!

I disagree, I don't think Japanese cartoons are rubbish. They are like feueillettons, or romanzi d'appandice, they are stories, with basic emotions that children can reflect about.
I love Shaun the Sheep!!! and most of the UK children programs, but do find them too didactic. Always pretending to teach

I rang the paediatrician. She reckons it's swine flu, apparently 30% of Milanese children are home sick. She told me to give them tachipirina and keep them home until fully recovered.

JavierBardem · 30/10/2009 15:14

Shaun the Sheep is for toddlers and pre-schoolers, I would not dream of showing ds LO...when he is 10? Oh, dunno, it was a different society, ours. I would not dream of showing Georgie to a 8 year old, really steamy stuff! And sexist.

Was a bit shocked when i discovered ds had wtched the Ninja movie at a friend's house, boh.

JavierBardem · 30/10/2009 15:20

I do agree that a lot of the bbc stuff these days is sooooo bland!

francaghostohollywood · 30/10/2009 15:22

I was 12/13 when I watched lady oscar, so it was appropriate I think. Mine enjoyed the first episodes, but then it got too complicated, they'll have to wait a few yrs before they can see the end! Yes, I think 10 is the right age, depends on child I suppose.

I'm still shocked that Young Frankenstein is rated 15 in the UK. Surely that's a bit on the cautious side.

JavierBardem · 30/10/2009 15:34

I think i must have been 12ish, ohhhhh sooooo sexi...(oh, goodness, I am perving )

JavierBardem · 30/10/2009 15:44

I have started a diet after seeing beautiful skinny women working for Vogue. Nothing drastic, except I am not allowed piles of slices of cake, millions of crumpets with honey, toasts with jam, hunks of butter.. Life's hardly worth living really..

Having said that off to make tortine with ds.

francaghostohollywood · 30/10/2009 16:22

Step away from those Vogue women!!!

Camomilla · 30/10/2009 16:32

just back from a& e, as DD woke up with a rash on face and arms....... as it was 12.30 we first rushed to the gp (they close at 1) but "they're finishing off theor morning surgeries and then they're off, you can get an apt for 5.40, no-one can see her now" , so took her to a&e (she had 38.8 too) and finally after asking if s.one'd see her we got registered by the nurse, then 1 hr waiting for her to wee (no result) then doc came. said it's a viral infection and that can cause rash, then we still had to wait for wee sample, eventually she did it, topping it up with some juice (but luckily all ok) but we still had to wait a while because her temp wouldn't go down. My diagnosis for the rash though is that she's had a reaction to calpol - she's had it for the first time last night before she went to bed (and then she had the swallen face) and this morning (then woke up with same rash but on her arms too), she'd only had nuroflex or different paracetamol before, but the doc said she would have reacted to strawberries too if that was the case... boh. she seems fine now, hopefully the rash will go down with some piriton. we're all shattered!

i don't know, I think I was around 10 when I was watching LO/georgie for the first time, I felt a bit embarassed at the "warming up to save her" scene, but that's it. Lamu' always had her boobs out, actually, Occhi di gatto were steamier imo.

we didn't watch any tv in spring summer/as long as we could be outside. we were too busy building houses with cardboard boxes/making mud pies/playing school, and even in winter DB and I would potter about dad's warehouse and build stuff with bits of wood. So, when did I watch all that tv?! mistery

gio, sorry about the nonni leaving, but glad DS is better

penthe, don't know about peanuts, sorry.

thatnk god it's not mumps (thanks everyone, just couldn't remember), she was due her 1st MMR this wk but changed it.

JavierBardem · 30/10/2009 16:41

Very stressfull. My gp would have seen you, really, out of order considering what they get paid. It is their duty! Did you have to drag ds with you as well?

I know, i know, step away. But still it would be nice to be as hot as I was pre-babies. Now it is all flab and hunched shoulders, stained brown cardy..bah. Let me have a glass of wine.

JavierBardem · 30/10/2009 16:54

Shouldn't they swab her for SF?

Camomilla · 30/10/2009 16:57

I'm fuming for that. but just rang to cancel the apt tonight and receptionist asked how we got on and apologiesed she coudn't get any gp to look at dd, cos they were behind schedule . still, I think that 5 mins wouldn't have hurt to check a baby

I have flabby bum and stomach, and trousers plastered in buiscuits, but havin a cup of earl grey with a cream eclaire

Camomilla · 30/10/2009 17:00

oh, even at the hospital I mentioned DS and I had suspected SF (which from what I've read it probably was) but the doc there kept on saying "yeah, as you had a bit of a cold and cough she probably has the same" (was a very patronising one, though the nurses were lovely)

JavierBardem · 30/10/2009 17:23

What about tamiflu then?

Camomilla · 30/10/2009 17:30

I know, I told them I had it, but hadn't given it to him as he got better, and they even have a SF centre just outside a&e. DP's really at the whole thing though and checking to go private... just cos we have so much money... and he had to take tonight off too...

just glad we're home, DD back to causing havock, helping her brother torture DP , I'm sure that mortadella sandwich worked better than paracetamol
