No pressure, but lots of luck then Dizzy.
I am so extraordinarly tired. On my way back from teaching last night, DH rang to say he had news. When we were moving walls last week, I suggested that it would make sense to plaster all the walls that needed doing upstairs, not just the 'improved one'(which esists because we've donated a built-in cupboard of 1970s' vintage to the girls' room.)
So, deeply scepitcal, he arranges to meet a plasterer at 5 yesterday, and ends up agreeing that the entire upstairs of the house will be clear by 9am this morning. Then DH is ill by 9pm, so after taking mattresses down he has to go to bed. THe rest was done by me. DD2 and I slept on a mattress in the front room and she woke a full 6 times between 12 and 7.
No sympathy for me though, as I ended up accidentally taking this out on DS who has been doing his crashed-computer impression for over a week.
I have been keeping up... WE're doing mixed weaning here. Bits of roast dinner, soup bases before the stock is added, sticks of stuff and she inhaled some of the tinned peaches the others had for pudding tonight.
Now I've cheered myself up by bursting into an impromptu chorus of that song about moving to the country and eating lots of peaches ...
S&M- you could try replacing the baby rice in your purees with cous cous. A huge hit with DD1, and you can carry the dry stuff in a little pot when you're out, cover with hot water and replace the lid and use it as a base for other purees. I used freeze cubes of individual vegetables (broccoli, swede, cauliflower, combine them in different ways and then stir into the cous cous.
Hurrah Poppy on the praise from your boss.
And Pertelote- what a turn of events for you, and for the other family involved. Talk, talk and talk your way through the time ahead if you need to. And allow me to pass treats and contraband of various kinds through the bars to you in your quarantined state.
