My Eldest daughters boyfriend only eats meat and potatoes. Try to get any other vegetable into him and you have a real fight on your hands. I just serve what he will eat. I'm pretty straight forward. So I would probably just start a fun conversation about food and ask her outright what her favourite...

My mother suffers with diverticulitis hope I spelt it right. It is caused by perforations in the bowl wall which when nuts or seed get into them they cause the most dreadful stomach cramps which tend to put you into the hospital. My mum can't have any sorts of nuts or even tomato seeds. And coconut ...

Being an old woman I used this thing called a stroller. I had a big old style one I got from the flea markets. Then moved to a light weight stroller for the bus. Have seen the slings you talk about and yes they look great and the baby looks so comfortable. Too late now my baby is 25. Picking up chil...

Yeah sounds like a growth spurt. Next trip will be to the store for bigger shoes! Their feet always seem to grow first. As long as she is staying really active so as to wear off the calories she's taken in I wouldn't worry. Its when kids eat like that and spend all their time in front of the telly t...

Hi Guys I know its been a while been decluttering like crazy for the arrival of new carpet. Only waited about 30 years. Anyway Wombat and I plus the help of our neighbour put up the new wind generator. A reasonable amount of work by Nev but should be well worth it very soon. Its not any higher than ...

Red in Aus. those plastic bags for charity things have disappeared as research into them found they were just pocketing the money and the charities were getting nothing or very little. We have been charity shoppers for years some of Wombats best books came from there. And over the years most of my j...

Hello Sian, Sounds like your doing quite a bit. Wombat was always kicking himself that he hadn't done enough and I kept saying one day at a time or you'll give yourself a stress attack. Whatever our circumstances at least we are working at it and that is what matters.. I haven't been on much and am ...

I was just reading through the posts and when I got to Muddypaws thought he was cracking a joke. And my typical ozzie answer would be to say "I'm revolting too on occassion." However you all took him quite seriously so I better be careful. Thanks muddy for the day to the standing stones yo...

Thanks for the cake recipe I'll give it a whirl, probably on the weekend.
