peachy My DC only have one sweetie day too - usually Friday after swimming. They get a big bowl of chewy crap and chocolate and eat it to their hearts' content, but DS is one of those people who can stop halfway through a Fudge bar and say 'I've had enough'. The rest of us still stare at him as though he's insane. If other mums hear mine refer to sweetie day I can tell they're mostly either thinking - sweets once a week, what a mean old mummy - or - humph, what a self-righteous middle-class show-off. . However, no fillings and no weight problems seem like pretty good outcomes to me.
I'm all agog, like JJ, about how German Ikea does its meatballs. Usually DH can be persuaded to go there just by the word Meatballs! He's v fond of the gravy. And JJ, I don't think I'd even know my way around Quark nowadays, it's been so long. Hope you get the ad sorted.
JW I'd never heard of the tooth coating. I remember having mine fluorided when I was about 14 but they don't do that any more. So much about tooth strength seems to be inherited and both DC seem to have got their father's gnashers, which send dentists into paroxysms of joy every time he goes to see them, which is about once every 5 yrs. Not fair; mine need lots of scraping and polishing and I brush far better than he does. Maybe I should get mine coated, to give them a helping hand...
Tee ouch, that's too early to wake up! Hope the day isn't too stressful. Great bump and outfit btw!
JW K looks so cute in her Bumbo! My dad's hair grew like that and we have a b*w pic of him aged about 18 months with a huge sausage curl running front to back, which his mother carefully arranged for the photo. A bit of hairspray and you could do the same for baby K
Good luck with the non-telly activities and especially the swimming for DSS - both vital for him, and hope your DH starts pulling with you on this. I really do think that most men would let their women do everything, especially if they've spent too long living with their mothers. They have to go thru some kind of moment of enlightenment when they realise that they need to put their backs into the minutiae of family life, and this can happen at any point but sometimes needs to be gently HIT HOME. It's never completely solved - even now, DH will sit down to watch telly having left the kitchen in a complete mess, and then be grumpy that it has to be sorted out later - but never thinks ahead and sorts it out first. Weird . But he does do it.
