Tummum wow, well done on the weight loss. I've never been able to stomach Slimfast and I don't think I've the willpower really. How has work been this week?
Looby DS2 has had quite a few spicy things. I make a goulash which has lots of smoky paprika. He's also had spicy pumpkin soup but that didn't go done well; like me he has a mild allergy to red chillis when they touch the skin. He's had a mild curry too. Give it a whirl. DS1 and his little NCT pals have been munching on curries since we took them for a curry on their 1st birthday. The poppadums are their favourite things!
Reggiee Happy birthday and well done for winning the competition.
Belgina pass the cakes please! I read Dan Brown's new book over christmas at my father's and yes, it is absolute tosh but I loved it and couldn't put it down. I like reading crap over classics at the moment.
Momino I've had another think about the chest pain and I mentioned the spare rib story to DH. He reminded me that I was in agony a while ago because of the way I used to sit and breastfeed while using my laptop. I could barely move the pain was so bad and it took us ages to work out that it was my posture.
Grumpy so sorry to hear about your father. My FIL had it too. He made a full recovery but doesn't like to talk about it at all. I think he is a bit embarrassed.
Ses re mixed feeding; I fed DS1 in that way for nearly 3 years. I found that the cartons didn't really impact on supply. I worked full-time and found that while I was away from him he wasn't overly bothered about feeding and had his fill when my boobs I returned from work. I used cartons as a top-up or to replace me. I never really bothered expressing to give EBM. I haven't done it with DS2 because my maternity leave is a lot longer than the first one and I expect that when I go back to work at the beginning of April he won't drink any formula milk, he'll just wait for me.
cheerytom congratulations on the new job! Great news!
DS2 had a great morning nap; 2 hours! I couldn't believe it. He never sleeps that long. I am hoping great things are in store tonight sleep-wise. We're due a change from this rubbish sleep pattern.
We're looking at a new school for DS1 on Friday. We've become a little unhappy with his pre-school but I've reached the conclusion that it is time to move on. I looked at the nursery at our local school today and didn't like it much; it doesn't have toilets for the children to use and they have to ask a teacher to take them next door to the school, which leaves the remaining children with one less keyworker. I saw this happen today and the keyworker who was left behind had around 15 children while the other showed me around. I wasn't impressed at all with the set-up. So I'm not sure what to do now!
