Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Oh the Kedgeree? You can poach the egg too, but frying is just easier and with a non-stick pan no oil is needed.

I'm so freaking hungry. Making a summery spag bol tonight. Normal bolognese with loads of onions, garlic, tomato and carrots but then when you toss it with the pasta you add baby spinach and fresh rocket. Topped with cheese...YUMMO!!!!

I cycled just now and I think I overdid it last night, my knees are farked. So flippin sore, i could only cycle for 8 minutes... not good

Never mind Ally..I found it. Was a fried egg...not poached...but found it nonetheless!

Ally I am looking for a recipe i THINK i saw on your blog... a rice dish with a poached egg on top??? Or am I confusing you with somebody else's blog recipe?

Wow ladies its quiet here today!

Where is everybody??

Lisha I think its the constipation that caused it, but I'll just back off and in a week or so do as Vix suggests.

Guys I am so freakin broody, but terrified at the same time of a new baby...lol. I dont even think I know how to hold a baby anymore! Anyways...all that is still a long way off at this stage...9m of pregnancy plus the TTC phase.

Vix not sure if you're willing to try the Allergex syrup for C's bumps - it really helped Shrey when he had them last week & I also though chicken pox.
Re SARS they are surprisingly efficient these days but on the flip side they demand money faster if you owe them too lol - I had first hand experience with that this year

Simone well done on further weight loss lol @ Addy still celebrating her birthday.
Re the potty training - the same thing has happened with Kesha (our friends lg). She was being potty trained because the school they want to put her in next year insists they are potty trained first. I was under the impression she was doing great and was 95% there but at her birthday party her mum was so stressed because she now refuses to sit on the toilet. Even if they put on a panty for her she will pee and then say 'look water'. Shame they really wanted her to start at this Montesorri at the start of the school year as they are ready to try for their next baby but they are prepared to hold her back a few months now.
I think you should just follow Addy's signs and see when she's ready for it again - sure like C she will get back on the horse again soon.

Ally all the best with your dad and the herbalife ... fx he continues to get it for you.

Was just catching up on some of the posts from Friday and need to comment on 2 things:

Lwasi congrats on the weight loss ... well done under very trying circumstances.

And Angie huge congrats to your dh & yourself. Sure everything is going to be so good once you guys get settled.

Lmao! Imagine he poo'd in the pool????

I think I'll do reward or show her Barbie is using the toilet...something like that. She uses potty and the toilet seat...but she does not want either of them. So weird.

That's so cute...finding him asleep;-)

Simone- C also started asking for his nappy suddenly, not entirley sure why but I just went along with it and gave him the nappy but continued to offer the potty/toilet option. He seems to have gone back to the potty training but not so much the potty more the toilet seat trainer now. Not sure what triggered it but my best advice would be to let her take the step back if it makes her feel more comfortable, if in a week she hasn't shown any inclination to use toilet again then start trying to re introduce it maybe with a reward system?

Yesterday he wouldn't wear his swim nappy, he wanted to be naked in the pool. Elwyn noticed him start to push like he was pooing so he told him to get out and put a nappy on. He ran into the house asked me for his nappy, ran outside behind a tree to poo, back in the house shouting 'nappy off', barely letting me wipe the poo off before he ran back to the pool naked as the day he was born LOL he likes to live free without nappy, pants, even clothes of any description, I had to beg him to put a T-shirt on at 5pm yesterday when the wind started picking up LOL Apparently I was the same, just loved to be naked.

I was wondering what happened to C because he went all quiet and when I checked his room I found him fast asleep in bed LOL these kids are adorable at this age!
