Ladame: Oh, it's just the nursery thing (although other ongoing issues also contribute to my crappy mood). It's bringing out echoes from DS was 1 and we tried him in a nursery with awful results. I'm now worried about how to strike a balance between giving it a fair go, and not causing too much distress to ds/be press ganged to do something that I don't really want to do. I only have a tiny start-up business that I slowly work on at home, so do not have to send ds to nursery yet, if he doesn't enjoy it. I just hope he will settle soon enough, as I don't think he gets enough social interaction with kids at the moment.
That's funny, Ladame. I really get that about cooking. I hardly ever really cook - no point: DH eats at unpredictable times and doesn't care what he eats (happy with Pot Noodles), while DS is very fussy, and eats mainly raw uncooked foods or pasta. Also, I'm always on a diet and prefer to graze rather than have meals, as such (oh dear, that sounds awful!), so, yes, I do not cook that often (pasta with sauce from jars, fish fingers and oven chips etc. are not cooking). I guess that's why I can love foody smells. They remind me of my family's Greek side, and my granny's cooking (even tough she was a reluctant cook.. all the women in my family are!).
