ahhh I'm so bad at keeping up! sorry.
sharing a nice recipe to make up for it. good for both you and lo to eat :)
cheats orange stew
sweat chopped onion with chunk of salt free butter low heat till nice and soft.
sweat chopped sweet potato, butternut squash, orange or red pepper if you want/have, carrot or 2 and sometimes one stick of celery (makes it a bit peppery so optional).
add chopped sulphur free apricots.
chop/ snip up as many boneless- skinless chicken thighs as you wish. I did 3 or 4. bung in.
add a load of red lentils. about half a cup - a full cup, up to you.
if you have any salt free chicken stock (I deliberately roasted a chicken with no salt and froze stock) bung it in. or just add some water or both about enough to cover it all. add more later if looks like it needs it.
add some thyme if you have. and a bay leaf.
cook till mushy. I did low heat for a few hours - bit like slow cooker. can be a slow cooker recipe.
serve with rice or crusty bread and to make a bit zingyer for grown ups mix a bit of chilli jam in when serving, or just a chilli. mush/ whizz to whatever consistency lo likes or try as it is. the chicken goes nice and mushy if cooked long enough.

We are truely in the throws of something here. We're not sure if its teeth, or earache and a cold. She keeps getting snot trails down her face. And the thing is i HATE snot, not just a little bit of hate but it makes me want to vomit. I can and will deal with any other fluid but snot disgusts me. Anyway today she is refusing to wear clothes she has a huge meltdown when i put clothes on her and only stops when they come off. Has anyone elses baby done that??

Yay spotty
Mama no temperature, she doesn't feel warm to touch and the thermometer says 36.6oc. We've eventually compromised on a sleepsuit and no vest but the poor thing keeps rubbing her ears.

No Leobear, DS constantly keels over if left unsupported.
Uh oh Hales Fx they're both okay.
Hope you're feeling better Spotty.
The problem is WL biscuits are so good and exercise is so crap 
J completely refused his pasta in a homemade veg sauce tea PFB and instead locked Philadelphia off a slice of toast

He woke again at 3:45 and I managed to settle him until now. Not too bad I suppose. Hope he goes back down....
Leo ds isn't sitting at seven months. He waves though and hides his willy inbetween his legs so he looks like a girl

Wanted to ask I've seen a job advertised it's doing general admin/accounts work for a photography/portrait studio but it's freelance. Why would they do this? It's set hours and days, would you think they're likely to turn around in November and say 'well it's a quiet month so we don't need you now until after Christmas'?
