Evening all, totties are fast asleep in bed, and here we are.

Had nothing handy for dinner, so cooked salmon in home made breadcrumbs, with some lime juice and butter, oh boy it was good.

erm can someone tell me what to 'bump' someone means?

Also, do I need to get a new name?

Re spice racks, my stepmother bougth one when we lived in Gretton(Iwas 15) she took it with them when they moved to Wellinboro, then Northampton (where they lived for 15 years. To my horror, when I visited them in France, (where they have now lived for 4 years) she still has the bloody thing! All the labels have gone brown, so have the herbs! Ah well, she was a war baby...

Ah yes, but dried herbs last forever! I think I've still got some that were given to us as part of a spice rack thing when we were married.

In 1995.

Well they smell OK.

Have just picked up a bag of flour in my cupboard and there were loads of teeny-tiny little bug things lurking in the pile of flour that had collected under the bag. blergh. All gone in bin now, will bleach cupboard later once dds are in bed. I hate the thought of bugs living anywhere in my house.

Hiya
Thanks for the tip and link Zaza and CD - i'll definitely try those
Bramshott\Ellie - you both set my mind @ rest, i'm starting work and S hates the bottle and doesn't think much of formula either (however she doesn't mind it from her doidy cup) I had visions of her screaming from hunger when i call to check on her from work
SOL - lol r: K licking the spoon like a cat sounds exactly like S especially with pureed fruit.
MJ - glad last night was better.

I have just discovered a glass with it's own sub-species lurking on a windowsill

I am therefore logging off and may not be back for sometime, but when I return I will have the Ernie/Dylan/Joe photos

I work from home most of the time so it's fine really. I keep reminding myself that this is such a short time in the great scheme of things, and by the new year hopefully (and a bit sadly) I won't be feeding her any more.

PillockInThePumpkin · 03/10/2007 14:37

hopefully it'll all go smoothly, I am very lucky to work part-time and fit it around feeding joe

26 October should be interesting - I need to leave for work at 11.30am, and back at 10.30pm. I fear DH could be picking a very hungry child up from the childminder at 6.00!! But I guess it could be the push she needs to just DRINK THE BLOODY FORMULA! 27 Oct I am working 8.30 - 8.30 but I'll have to take her as that's just too long (and it's a Saturday anyway) . . .

Bramshott · 03/10/2007 14:18

Hmm. Might have to get the childminder to do breakfast then, if I really need to cut out the 9.30 feed.

PillockInThePumpkin · 03/10/2007 14:12

he does eat a good breakfast, but not until after 9am, fig porridge at the moment, and he just has a drink of water with it. I drop him off and nursery do breakfast for him, then they give him fruit as a snack at 10.30ish

Bramshott · 03/10/2007 14:05

Thanks Ellie, that is useful to know. They have to be adaptable when we're not with them all the time, don't they.

Will he eat a good breakfast after his 7.30 feed? I'm struggling a bit with Orla and breakfast atm as she has a feed at 7.30, then I offer breakfast at 8.00 but she's not very interested, then I feed her when I drop her at the childminders at 9.30 which is okay for now, but I'd like to cut out within the next month as it slows me down getting on with work.

Bramshott, wanted to reassure you on the no milk all day (i think it was you?). Joe has started to do the same, he has a feed about 7.30, then just water at nursery, 2 days a week I collect him at 3.30 and when we get home he has a feed, the other days I collect at 1 and he has a very short feed.

He used to take formula while at nursery but is refusing it now, so i guess he just doesn't need milk as well as food.

Oh, and obviously "get a grip woman" vibes to a certain person who was on the televison last night!! Must admit I am hooked though, in a strange voyeuristic way!

Hello again. Could it possibly be (whispers) that my internet is fixed?!? It's been up almost all day yesterday, and so far today!!!!! On the downside, this means I will waste more of my work time on here or on facebook.

Sending sleep vibes to those who need them and get well soon vibes to all those with the dreaded lurgs!

I am about to head back to the school after only dropping B off at 12.50, for this presentation! Eating B's choccie buttons! Gave K a lick of one too [naughty mummy]!!

Back later.

Yes, they have a list and you just wait til you are at the top - young children are ususally fairly high up though, so should be fine!

Hi SOL!

Yes, going to do mainly BLW, with a bit of puree chuck in on the side (i.e. when she is not looking!)

P screaming AGAIN!

Yvie and Zaza's lovely to see you both.

Zaza's, I am giving K a little taste of things but she isn't really interested yet. She licks at the spoon like a cat!

SPB, I would love to tell work to pee off, but I agreed that I would help when needed. It has all got a bit out of hand tho since September and I am doing lots to the detriment of everything else.

Eddas, B did one of those videos. Is it Magic moments? We bought a couple but thy are so expensive as you say.

Hi CD, MJ etc. Need to go and sort lunch and run to school. Supposed to be going to a session at the school about how the children will be learning to read etc. as well.

SharpMolarBear · 03/10/2007 11:41

Oh so do you just have to wait until she's seen?
Hope it's fairly early on
I'm thinking that about T's general grouchiness - are you still going to BLW?
