I have peanut butter pretzels in my basket to order on Friday (pay day)Grin

I made a goats cheese and spinach frittata a la Nigel slaters new programme, now for some reason I decide that I will like this even though I don't like omelettes and I have decided a frittata is basically a really deep omelette!! I saved half for dp's tea and he then announces he doesn't like 'funny cheese because 'its not cheese so picks it all off. Not sure I would make it again.

Had to bring bedtime forward again because he's so grouchy despite a three hour nap so just off for last feed before bedSmile

Have a good night everyoneSmile

Are there only a certain number of smileys when you use the phone version? I can't find the Halloween one!

Little fella has just fallen asleep on me so might be an early night for us if he falls asleep!

Not a lover of funny cheese but I do love a frittata!

Babysaurus is [hangry] tonight and crying his little heart out and we can't figure out why. To top it all no have bad cold which I think has settled on my chest so off to the dr's for me tomorrow Sad

Really hoping it won't be a long night but I may well be here for a wee while...

Mmmm I really like the sound of that frittata! Silly susieloo's DP... My mum is making fajitas right now, yum yum yum.

Not a good night for DS - he was up every hour from 4. And apart from a nice 30 min sleep on the bus at 12ish, he has fought sleep a lot today. At least my mum managed to get him to nod off with a walk round the park while I was having my dental assessment (after he screamed the waiting room down for 5 minutes), and he had about another hour and a half on the way home, but despite him rubbing his eyes like mad, he will no go to bed yet. I tried for 45 mins then gave up - he's now feeding, so will probably try again in a minute. I just don't know what is upsetting him - if it is his teeth then the powders and gel just aren't cutting it at the moment.

And I'm all in a tizz (which can't be helping with DS) about my wisdom tooth extraction next Thursday, and the fact that the neonatal nurse told me I should be weaning DS now, even though I'm not convinced he is ready. In fact she said his extra waking last night shows he is hungry, and didn't believe it was teeth (I am almost certain it was teeth). Argh


(ooooo I've just put him down and he's asleep - score! Grin)
