The potato thing is a kitchen myth, sorry. Diluting it with more sauce is the only way to actually reduce the salt content. But it should be fine anyway.

Can we join the freedom party?

Mr G is concerned that, should I join the quiche, we will become one of those couples who only communicate with each other over the internet.

And on that note - dinner's ready!

Coming

Yay it's the Team G!!

Lol!!

Have failed to catch up, but wanted to check in just in case anyone missed me. Happy and tiddled (me, not J)

Tiddley queen :)

Lol @ tiddley queen!

DH often sends me messages from the loo gracias. I cannot see that this is worse.

Watching dexter. Is awesome.

Aw kyz! I know what you mean about thinking that feeding babies should be easy. Pre-weaning I thought you offered a spoon to a baby, baby opens mouth, spoon gets stuffed in and contents scooped off. Over and over again.

Ha!

Aaaaaand! mm can dairy intolerances not be temporary ? Due to illness? No idea actually but I think I might of heard that.

Failed to catch up as usual

What I have read!!!

kyz ignore her. I'm known for tipping the food on the tray when he refuses is. He just plays with it. He currently does not like porridge. Which is odd? Thursday he ate a massive bowl. Anyway. I just go with it!! I'm not sure when you're feeding him BUT I have started giving ds is food before his 11.30 bottle and he are the food (plus pudding) and has dropped the bottle. I've started to do the sane thing at 6.30 but currently doing finger food, then bottle. Anyway, that's working for us currently

yw dilute it out. Though I'd guess ok.

pass get well soon.

Yay for teeth. No sign of any here. Maybe he'll be forever gummy?! Who knows. Lots of chatting though!!

pass you are correct. Usually an imbalance if friendly gut bacteria. Try some of those shots?! Not vodka but the friendly bacteria ones!

Love the idea of friendly bacteria.

"Oh hi!"
"Hia! Love your flagella"
"You too, babes!"

And so on

Love the geeky science humour! That's one good reason to go back to work, so I can snigger at medical jokes

If I have learned (learnt?!) one thing this week, it is that rice cakes are messy fuckers.

Pass

Hi Garcia's!

MM if I was financially independent I would have left long ago. Make it happen.

Just been thinking over all of the practicalities, mail redirection, tax credits etc. Am planning to get all of O's stuff together tomorrow so all the important stuff is sorted.

I really need to thank you all. If it wasn't for the quiche then I wouldn't be leaving. Simple as that. The first thing that I did when it happened was tell you. That says it all about how much I depend on you. Expect much moaning from me about living with my dad though, so sorry in advance. I will be back in my hometown though which is ace.

Must sleep now. 'Night quiche x

OMG watch The Returned on C4 - amazeballs!

I'd expect so.

And mitochondria and goigi!!!!

I hope it is temporary pass. I am indulging in wine (white zinfandel, yummers) tonight instead of chocolate. I rarely drink so this feels like a proper treat

I have read yet another smarmy fb status from mil slabbering on about another lovely day with her lovely grandchildren. I am fed up of them forgetting M is their grandchild too although secretly glad visits are thus minimal

LOL at team G!!

Have had a lovely day which partially makes up for yesterdays farce of one. Had a great time at the southbank and DD1 really enjoyed the disco. E seemed to love it too. I loved having a boogie with my 2 girls Thanks goodness it was only 45 mins long, I was knackered by the end of it. Just back from watching the great gatsby. I really enjoyed it. I love a bit of Leo swoon

Forgot all I was going to say so will summerise: Yay for tooths appearing, tiddley mums and happy babies.

Night all.

Had a great day. And a shit evening.

Dh went out while his friends wife came over. She is due in aug. so lovely. And she had all the same worries as I has with lo. Was nice helping her, and telling her little things that helped me.

H came bk and
And is now asleep on sofa. After him dropping his dinner in kitchen. Me cleaning it up. Him falling in living room. I've had enough. Don't know how to tackle him n his problem.

Every 2 hours. Ravenous, like he's never been fed. Wtf?!

GT he needs to know what he stands to lose if he doesn't stop. Walk away, albeit temporarily. Ut he has to choose not to drink, andto get help. Try Al Anon?

Poor old pidj.

Gt - hugs. Really, really tough one. Could you stay at your mums for a few days to start getting your message across?

Chasing - good on your dad. Facebook won't work on my phone so will catch up with you there tomorrow but meanwhile wanted to let you know I am so sorry it happened again, and hope you are ok. But i am so happy you are out of there it is untrue, and am doing a little dance for you and o. Well done brave mummy. Hope you get some sleep - big hugs. You've made the quiche proud.

Hi all, been in France for a week, so no chance of catching up. But did want to wish chasing best of luck for this week, and let you know I'm thinking of you.

We had a lovely hols with a load of my family, so lots of under-5s to keep the boys entertained. Teddy was v popular with his cousins and got lots of cuddles. We stayed on a campsite next to the beach, pool with slides etc so was great. And fab weather of course. Was worried about how Ted would sleep in the caravan, but we actually got two nights of 8.30-6.30 . Was amazed, as he'd been a regular 4-hour waker. Don't know whether it was the food (he's eating 3 meals now), fresh air and activities, or relatively late nights. But have given up dream feed and he managed 7-3-5.30 last night. I'm with sophia though, could do without starting the day at 5/5.30.

Ferry crossing on way over was great, loads of entertainment for kids, but way back was really choppy and ds1, DH and I all threw up . Never experienced seasickness before, and was not pleased to do so for 6 hours whilst trying to bf and entertain a 6-month old and a 2-year old. Urgh. Glad it was the way home only or we'd have been dreading the return journey all week. Boys were really good in the car though, 4 hours each way. Made me more confident about doing long journeys in daytime, not just under cover of night as we normally do!

Done something to my neck, think it was from sleeping on uncomfortable caravan bed. But pain still there in one side after 4 days. How long do I leave it before seeing a doc?? Gonna dose up on paracetamol today as back to routine of messy play playgroup with the boys, which requires quite a bit of parental input!
