Pistachio - Can you build an access door into the neighbour's garden so your dc can climb back up the ladder?

Marthasmama · 24/04/2009 18:23

Sorry I meant Pepper . Do you know why I put Pistachio? I was thining about ice cream and DH has some pistachio ice-cream in the freezer. Oops!

pepperrabbit · 24/04/2009 18:36

ice cream again MM??!
Actually it's amazing how chatty the neighbours become when they suspect you may be building a theme park (as obviously the plan for taking in laundry hasn't taken off!)

CantSleepWontSleep · 24/04/2009 18:36

Quickie pre-bath again tonight.

ronshar - rice milk not nutritious enough to be a main drink, but if it's that or nothing/water because he's refusing bm, then it would be better.

hmm - don't use soya formula unless you want pops to have rotting teeth, develop a soya allergy and potentially be infertile in later life. Print off this and/or this and ask your gp to comment .

I disagree with star and can say with confidence that it's pronounced keen-wah. I once asked if they had keen-wah flour in Tesco, and they had no idea what I was on about. I helpfully informed them that it was spelled quin-o-a and they then knew what I was on about . (They didn't have the flour though, only the cereal).
The one I have is in an orange box.

I am old and haggard and have no idea who any of the men you are on about are (except GB obv).

Pepper - I have some low calorie ice cream in the freezer and I might have a little bit tonight. Don't hassle me woman! And I wouldn't DARE eat DH's Pistachio ice-cream! I think he'd kill me!

CSWS - Can that really happen with soya formula?! My friends dd has been on soya formula since she was 3 weeks old.

CantSleepWontSleep · 24/04/2009 18:42

Yuk. Whilst I was typing that ds did me proud by rolling back to front on his gym. He had his nappy off and sadly proceeded to wee all over the floor/gym and lie in it, soaking his t-shirt. We had a disposable change mat under him when he was on his back, but hadn't allowed for him rolling, since he hasn't til now.

Marthasmama · 24/04/2009 18:45

CSWS - Well obviously he was going to do it at the most inconvenient time! He's male!

jenwa · 24/04/2009 19:23

DH just got in from work and gone out to get chinese for me he is going to his mums today to collect their dog who we are apparntely looking after tonight and tomorrow aswel as his brothers cat (we live in the same road as them so not a prob) but I am wondering if DH will get an ear full from his mum about what a horrible person I am She was offy today wtih me and him never mind, chinese will be on its way and I will drink some wine and not give a shit what is said about me

jenwa · 24/04/2009 19:25

pepper ok no probs although you only wanted me to clean

Meant to say that.... I actually have forgotten what I was meant to say....doh!

pepperrabbit · 24/04/2009 19:41

jenwa - not just cleaning!! I'll need help running my theme park !!

pepperrabbit · 24/04/2009 19:42

I have wine too

jenwa · 24/04/2009 19:47

Oh ok, theme park great, if it is big enough surely you could build me a house under it and the wine is always a plus, afew glasses and I will be playing on that park, actually I will be on it without the wine, move over children and let the adult on

CantSleepWontSleep · 24/04/2009 19:54

I hope you've applied for planning permission pepper. Regs all changed in Oct and are much stricter now.

You've all inspired me, so I now have wine too.

pepperrabbit · 24/04/2009 19:56

jenwa · 24/04/2009 19:59

Marthasmama · 24/04/2009 20:03

aubergenie · 24/04/2009 20:18

about the dog HMM. Not a nice thing to see.

Welcome back Myjob! I hope you had some of this lovely sunshine.

I've got wine too!

And Bed and Jerry's ice cream. Anyone want some?

aubergenie · 24/04/2009 20:19

Ben and Jerry's, even.

CantSleepWontSleep · 24/04/2009 20:22

Does strawberry wine count as a portion of fruit?

OP posts:
Marthasmama · 24/04/2009 20:26

It may do CSWS. In fact, now you mention it, I have decided. Yes it does!

I have some low calorie ice cream thank you Aubergenie

aubergenie · 24/04/2009 20:38

Chocolate Macademia. Yum.

CantSleepWontSleep · 24/04/2009 20:45

I actually don't like chocolate ice-cream!

OP posts:
Marthasmama · 24/04/2009 20:51

I've not seen that one aubergenie! Chocolate ice cream is the only ice cream I like. I'm not a huge fan of ice-cream which seeing as I mentione dit twice in as many days, must be rather difficult to believe! I'm am more of a fan of cake. Mmmmmm cake. I am watching the recorded The Apprentice so if you feel the need you can discuss now. My that Geordie bloke is a twunt! I have to say I like the blonde woman with the wonky mouth.
