Meals I have just cut out things that have affected her the day after i have eaten them. She had a serious reaction to raw onion so I cut those out completely even though I suspect they are ok when cooked. There are probably other things too that will set her off! I haven't cut out dairy because I eat a lot of it and figured if it was that she'd be bad all the time, which she isn't. She doesn't have any of ther other symptoms of it either. Good luck with it! :)

Sorry to hear about the lip tie Toomany :(

detective I'm sure a husband-and-power-washer loan could be arranged. Better make sure you have a clean patch of carpet so he can leave his dirty clothes lying around though Wink

TheDetective · 18/03/2013 13:46

Fuck. I had hatched a cunning plan. I was going to leave O at home with DP while I went to get some food shopping and pick DS up from school. I fancied a bit of peace while shopping. But no. My mum is expecting me to take O in to see her today, for a picture of us all. Crap. Plan gone tits up.

Maybe I'll just make DP go shopping instead!

TheDetective · 18/03/2013 13:48

LMAO! I have a picture of me after I pressure washed. I am literally covered head to toe in splats of mud. It was not a pretty picture!

I don't think we have any spare carpet that hasn't been overtaken with dog hair. But I'm sure he can share Grin.

TheDetective · 18/03/2013 13:48

Oh and my hair looks uber shit today. I need my fringe cutting back in. I have needed it done since O was born. Not had time.

Must find time. It is irritating me now!

BigPigLittlePig · 18/03/2013 13:55

Haha, well the 1st weekend he did it, he, me, dsd and F got covered. This weekend I stayed indoors feeding MNing

Lily311 · 18/03/2013 13:58

chasing hv def can put you in touch with help. She wanted to refer me for councelling and wanted to set up a meeting with a financial advisor from council but I declined both. She also gave me leaflets about playgroups, etc. Worth trying.

I want cake too.

TheDetective · 18/03/2013 13:59

I can't imagine why! Grin

TheDetective · 18/03/2013 14:00

DP has just had a revelation. Wait for it....

"You know what kitchen roll is also good for, well when you make soup, or beans in the microwave, putting it over the top stops it spitting all over it."

No shit sherlock. Bless him....! Hmm

BigPigLittlePig · 18/03/2013 14:02

He knows how to use a microwave? Shock

Detective www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/6652/naughty-chocolate-fudge-cake

I switched the oven off a few mins before the end as I like my chocolate cake to be gooey.

TheDetective · 18/03/2013 14:04

I too like my chocolate cake to be gooey. I like my cakes to be soft and bouncy Grin.

Yippeee! There may be cake in the Detective household tonight! If I am awake to make it!

BP He knows how to use it. Not how to clean it. Sadly!

PetiteRaleuse · 18/03/2013 14:04

Oh and I used butter instead of oil, and much less milk. And in the icing instead of a drop of milk put in a dollop of cream. I don't want fudge cake to be light.

TheDetective · 18/03/2013 14:05

Fuck. This is getting more complex! Grin

TheDetective · 18/03/2013 14:06

I need someone to keep me awake for the next 50 minutes please!

TheDetective · 18/03/2013 14:07

Are hairdressers universally closed on mondays?! Fucksake!

PetiteRaleuse · 18/03/2013 14:09

Just follow the recipe as is-it has good reviews. Just tweaked it on my mum's advice but I am sure the original is better just right. All Good Food website recipes work.

Contradictionincarnate · 18/03/2013 14:11

horendus day dd been crying or grumbling and upset since 10.30!

ValiumQueen · 18/03/2013 14:14

Car deposited at car hospital and at dentist with DD1. Awaiting call on cost of repairs. DH at home with baby and DD2. Feel like I am on holiday

TheDetective · 18/03/2013 14:14

LOL! I use a few of the good food recipes!

Good news, got the lactose free formula and gaviscon on prescription with no fuss.

I will go and collect it when they ammend it to give me 4 tins, since the 1 tin they have prescribed lasts 2.5 days only! shortly! Yippeee!

BigPigLittlePig · 18/03/2013 14:20

50 minutes, that feed was. 30 minutes after the previous 30 minute feed. This doesn't bode well, does it? Fecking growth spurts.

ChasingDaisy · 18/03/2013 14:22

Thanks. I will call the HV when I feel up to it.

His whole family now know what has happened. You would have thought at least one of them would think to ask how I am. But no. Nothing.

Contradictionincarnate · 18/03/2013 14:24

on the subject of periods I had my first 2nd Feb even though I had been ebf until that ponytail ...maybe I have pmt ...have been baggy to dh all weekend Sad
everything he did was winding me up!
dd finally stopped crying! after eating guess I'm stuck to sofa for the foreseeable future don't wanna move as she really needs kip!
feeling sorry for myself and then guilty cos I know what everyone else is going through!

BigPigLittlePig · 18/03/2013 14:25

I wouldn't think about it too much chasing - they'll be embarrassed at their sons revolting behaviour.

Don't know how glenda and detective can work in maternity, just watching OBEM, I still haven't been able to watch a single birth without blubbing. Those first newborn cuddles
