June 07...........the one where they discover they have a mind of their own; and aren't afraid to use it

oops last thread got to big!

Homework should be reinforcement/ consolidation so he should be able to do it on his own with you checking it once it's finished or helping if he's stuck. Would he get on better if you just left him to it - with the kitchen timer on him ? But obviously he needs to read aloud - maybe to DD with you hovering in the background.

Am watching Jamie - saw the cheesy chips but WTF was in the other thing? Looked like dog food.

I heart cheesy chips! It is one of my weaknesses!

I can't run... I'd wet myself !

How do folk on benefits afford takeaway? We can't afford takeaway! PMSL at the chocolate in the veggie boxes in the fridge!

Jammy, just looking at your photos on FB. Your DD is gorgeous of course. Baby Sputnik still has hair like that too.

Aw, thanks Sputnik

Was just about to say that Holly. Takeaway for the 4th time that week! I couldn't afford it just for myself never mind family of 4.

oooh, teacher, you are so wise

My mate who is a teacher said i would make a good teacher/teaching assistant the other day. she obviously hasn't seen me in action with DS

Trace - good luck for Thursday x

God I can't keep up with this thread atm....like Jammy....fitting everything in is a military operation....and I've got a blardy cold....every time I sneeze I nearly wet myself . Just decided that Scotland to Kent in one day is too much so leaving a day early and staying in a travelodge in Doncaster....wherever that is (about half way I think )

Daisy....have FBd you....please e-mail me tomorrow x

OK style gurus - my brother just got married at the weekend (in Greece). They are home this week & having another reception (Fri) for those of us who couldn't go. I have absolutely nothing to wear. Nothing fits me, all my mat. gear from last time is already too small. Oh and I'm pretty skint. Need something cheap & enormous yet still suitable for wedding do. Have been living in joggies & jammies & one pair of mat jeans that can still fit into.

This dress any good?

The idea of reading to DD is brilliant Tallulah

I am at the takeaways 4 times a week. I quite like this programme - I firmly believe in good nutrition and educating people in it, although how some can get it SO wrong shocks me.

Bring back Home Ed in schools I say! All those delicacies we were taught. Egg Custard, Eggs au Gratin, Apple Charlotte - oh how I loved practising - and how my parents hated it!

Nice Jammy but is freezing here. Would trousers & top be too scabby? After all the actual wedding is done & dusted so this just an evening celebration.

Is Mrs Oliver pg again then? Just saw that Grazia advert.

I remember doing eggs mornay in cookery at school and someone fed it to their tortoise, who was then sick!

We also did cakes, pizza, bread, and fruit salad I think.

Trousers and top sounds fine Tallulah

last try

Sounds ok to me T, maybe look for a nice top or some soft stretchy trousers, you're going to need the anyway.

Yep Foxy - Home Eccies should be compulsory. I HATED it at school,I was rubbish- took the entire double period to peel my spuds for cheesy mash & broke the sewing machine the first time I got near it. But I still think it's so important to know how to cook basic meals & plan around a budget.

ah ha!

need to do two

What about the Bravado dress Holly linked to earlier?

Sorry, am off for a shower then bed now, struggling to fit MN in at the moment. DD had drunk as much of her milk that she wanted, got off the sofa, taken the bottle into DH in the kitchen washing up then toddled off into her bedroom before DH said "er, are you going to put her to bed then?"
