Started as a "what can I make from what I have?" situation, but fuck me, that was a little (well, huge) piece of eggy, potatoey, oniony, bacony, sagey, tomatoey heaven.
Go me.
Anyone else eating well tonight?

It now feels like there are strips of burnt skin hanging down inside my mouth.
"Further Adventures of Miniature Biscuit in her new big bed - Day 5. She now knows she has to stay in her new room and doesn't come out to get in our bed. However she won't sleep in her bed unless I'm in the room, which is not going to happen-not getting into that rigmarole. So, she's decided to sleep on the floor instead. Evedrytime she falls asleep I go up and put her into bed, she wakes up and gets out and falls to sleep on the floor, ad infinitum. She's now taken to sleeping behind the door so I can't get in without cracking her on the head. I've given up. If she wants to sleep on then floor then she can. Silly bint.

bribery works everytime, but do it on your terms. Given the choice of two things (both of which can be beneficial for all parties) children will chose one or the other.
As their identity establishes itself, they become aware of being able to manipulate their surroundings, that includes you! The good thing is, if you can help direct it rather than get frustrated about it. Not easy I know, but resolute and consistent resolve works now and therefore the future

A sticker chart with smiley faces for when she stays in bed all night. It worked well with her potty training. In fact she cracked that within a week. SHe started calling from the top of the stairs a moment ago and I tried to talk to her about her stickers.
"Do you want a smiley sticker on your chart tomorrow?"
"No."
Oh
"Do you want a smiley sticker on your chart tomorrow?"
"No."
Oh
learn to get round her, each time she learns the trick you have to be smarter...in the end they figure it out and do it anyway....sometimes
She was yelling like she was being killed for an hour and then got asked if she wanted a smack and to be quiet or she would get one.
She shouted NO! and got a smack.
Then she had a small pause and began screaming again for another hour before sleeping.
I should stress, this is the sound of a child being murdered, but if you are with her you see that it is not so much screaming as shouting the sound of a scream. She is a little distressed, but mostly it is just noise making.

its all trial (sic) and error, I would have responded to the 'no' with
WHAT DO THE FUCK YOU WANT THEN!

Basically we had the standard protest shrieking because she did not want to be in bed.
The other two had grown out of this by the time they were 18 months, but this one is a shite-bag and no mistake.

She's been in her bed for a few weeks now, but she tends to come pottering through to our bed when she wakes up at 4, 5, 6, whatever. She's pretty good at climbing in and going to sleep but sometimes she doesn't sleep and thumps and kicks us until we wake up....
She took to the actual bed thing very quickly though...

and a nice cabernet. Possibly 2 nice cabernets. But only 1 bombay bad boy.
Dammit I wanted pizza, but that concoction of yours is making me drool. From the mouth.

cleaned the fuckers as well, not a trace of nut in them I can tell you!
but I really fancy a beer. I packed in drinking for just under 2 months (We went on holiday so I thought I'd have a few). The net result is I've lost over a stone, and I don't really miss the drinking at home, so I only do it when I'm out playing darts.
That said, I also fancy a kebab :)

does anyone have a copy, or know where I can get a copy of TLC, a sitcom with Reece Shearsmith?

takeaway pork and noodles. But then, I do live thirty seconds from a suprisingly good chinese takeaway. It inspires confidence when you can actually stand there and watch the chef at work with his wok.
two canned G&Ts, two bottles of spitfire, and on my second bottle of broadside. Got distracted by an ex housemate on the phone. I normally don't really do chatting on the phone. 1 1/4 hours later...
anyaway the gf wasn't impressed and stormed out
whoops
