LOL at the pudding descriptions, pikey, 70's !! I thought all these homemade favourites like rice pudding and spotted dick were de rigour these days (well to use appreciative northern foodie types they are anyway !) Oh yes, Galmums recommendation of the raspberry pannecotte (?) is perfect, infact I bought one yesterday, they are half price at the moment, and come in a terracotta dish so you could even pretend you made it yourself Nigella does a good trifle with lemon drizzle cake as base if you are interested.
Wilkie, hope you are OK now. That was such a horrible thing to say. All babies are beautiful, its their innocence that makes them so special.
Mines a baldy with fine blonde hair btw, had to laugh at EaH use of the term 'thatch' so funny.
Got quite upset yesterday thinking about this Madeline thing, and then I read the thread about baby James on the post natal area (dont read if you dont want upsetting). We have a known sex offender living a couple of miles away from us. I try to be level headed about it all, as we all let the children play outside in the fields. Mine have really good walkie talkies so I always know where they are, but it makes you think ..........
DH, a hot water bottle, stroking the lump with a wide toothed comb towards the nipple seems to help me, and feeding baby whilst on all fours, well, elbows unless your boobs are huge . I seem to get a blocked duct quite often in one breast, but it doesnt necessarily mean you'll get mastitis, I think the two things are different.
Good luck with the jabs today you young mum UD !
