Cheer me up, surely I'm not the only one who does illogical things like this:-


- eat some of the baby's food when he's not eating much so it doesn't look as though there's so much left


- quickly palm things I don't want the kids to have, and then leave them lying around to be discovered the next morning

OMG this made me laugh out loud Moos! Madam (8 months old) took to solids brilliantly til about 2 weeks ago when she's started being really fussy. Yesterday, after trying to be calm during teatime, I found myself having a couple of spoonfuls of her tea then looking at the bowl and thinking, 'Oh you managed to eat a fair bit there little one'. WHO AM I KIDDING?!! I did chuckle to myself afterwards but don't feel half so bad now I've just read your post. Thanks, cheered me up no end!

Citizen, that doesn't count, surely that's quite sensible?


KateW, Twosling is also 8 months, took to solids like a little hoover and all of a sudden has started to fuss. I put it down to the hot weather, but maybe the word is out on the baby grapevine. Doesn't seem to have made his sleeping any worse so fingers crossed.

I don't get a chance to get near most food (especially mushrooms and tomberries) with either of our little madams!But I do hide the remains of food that didn't go down too well at the bottom of the bin (ugh soggy) especially if my OH cooked it "mmmm rhubarb and bean risotto went down really well again dear!!"


Hoowever - party bags, we still have some from before Christmas that haven't been consumed - especially parma violets! yuccckkkk!


As for party presents - we eeek these out over months, so that they actually appreciate each one. Think it's darn sensible that one :)

    • I also recently waited 30 minutes to speak to someone at HMRC. First of all, they had indicated the wait time from the outset. Secondly, it is a very busy time for them,  with  the 31 January deadline looming. Thirdly, I might be confusing them with some other organisation, but I think they gave other options including for them to phone you back if you didn't want to hang on. Anyway, my main point is that I don't know whether the person I spoke to was working from home or not, but there was no background noise, she was incredibly sympathetic and helpful, and to my utter disbelief she extended the deadline for me to the end of March 😮  The reason was that I couldn't do my online return due to  my laptop meltdown, and had been told repair could take up to 28 working days. She thought that a deadline of the end of February might not be long enough  I was fully expecting to be told that it was my own fault for not getting the return in before. So credit where credit's due, basically. I've previously found HMRC staff very helpful in patiently  explaining in simple language stuff in the rules which I couldn't understand. As for working from home, I'm long retired from working for others, but I have both on occasion worked well into the night/over weekends to meet critical project deadlines,  and also on occasion skived. But in the first job I was being paid a lot, and in the second job I wasn't 🤣
    • I can't help with pinpointing the source of the bass, but I have found playing white noise helps to mask unwanted sounds, and it's also quite soothing (in a way). I ask Alexa to play white noise, which must make a nice  change for her from asking what the temperature and/or weather is outside, or asking her to sing the Doggy Song, which is usually all she does (present from my brother). But probably you can get a white noise app on your phone. Have you contacted Southwark Noise Control (?) who may be able to trace where the bass is coming from?  
    • I  enjoyed reading your reviews! What are you going to do when you run out of local places to eat? Start at the beginning again?!
    • Adam Richman eats football, Adam Richman eats Britain. So, asking for a friend, where the name Eats Dulwich came from?
