Ah you get used to it yw . Must admit though when I first started going out with French men it made my tummy go all butterflyish every time they said it :o (lifelong francophile). I say it myself now on occasion.
I did :) when DD1 first said it. My little froglet.
dicks you're looking at about 19-22? ++ per pack of nappies (half a big box) in French supermarkets. That would be huggies or pampers. I don't know what own brand ones cost in Intermarché or, indeed, even if they do them. Haven't got a Lidl round here but a quick google shows that French Lidls do stock nappies and they have a good reputation on mumsy sites and are far far cheaper.
of you living so close to the safari park pass We have a very small local zoo that I take the girls to occasionally as the parkland is nice and wooded (shade). Other than that we have a large zoo about 25 miles away - I think I will get a season ticket next year for that as it is pretty good, and good conservation wise. I love watching the sea lions. The so called Best zoo in France is right the other side of France near my ILs, and much cheaper too for some reason. But I prefer the one near me and not just because it doesn't involve seeing the ILs
When I was in England we meant to go to the South Lakes zoo but didn't make it - we were sick of driving around so much and figured that the girls would get much more out of it the next time we visit which will probably be in two or three years. BD safari park is wonderful though. I remember the monkeys climbing all over the car and trying to snap off the windscreen wipers. Of course it would be better if all the animals were safe in their natural habitat but unfortuately that isn't possible. Zoos do a great job of educating us about respect for animals.
Though I always have at least one run in with some twatty parents who think encouraging their kids to bang on the monkey or gorilla enclosures is a good idea. Wankers.
