Apart from choosing a new name, I've been slathering Germolene on insect bites - how lovely is that? My new name doesn't make one think of Germolene and insect bites! It's the time of year for these and I'm covered in large itchy bumps...grin

I have been.....holding the fort with 2 GC while DD collapsed in a heap and tried to catch up on some sleep.
Her OH is away for the summer; the baby does not sleep at night; her periods have just re-started with a vengeance........! I am sure we all remember this phase very well!
But she has had a good sleep and a shower and is looking more human now - we are on our knees though!

Marelli Thu 16-Aug-12 19:21:55

Does changing one's name involve extra calories then confused

I'll put the scone recipe on the GN book, as long as you promise not to eat them! grin

Ii felt very humbled and couldn't stop.

Did anyone else watch it?

When, pretty please tell me where you get your buttermilk from - and please say it's from a big supermarket chain, because I'm not trekking all the way up to Manchester for it. The Wonderful Man needs a regular supply and I can't find a local stockist. envy
