I have tried to urge him to microwave snails, stones, a small tortoise, but he is having none of it. Plastic hotdog only. <BR/>Also, you do know, people, that there is a real Bettys café in York/Harrogate/Ilkley and it is absolutely awesome and has the best cakes in the universe, no hyperbole. So she is in good company.Wafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907816708805451116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-51048908633738023682008-06-30T21:15:00.000+01:002008-06-30T21:15:00.000+01:00When she starts serving Babycinos let me know, as ...When she starts serving Babycinos let me know, as Boy #2 will be over pdq...Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-47257743166360209232008-06-29T22:49:00.000+01:002008-06-29T22:49:00.000+01:00What a fantastic idea!

This evening I was trying to encourage my husband to make a little house/ tent for our daughter (conversation started with his shock at seeing one for £180 in the local toy shop). You've inspired me ... <BR/>Now for the reason my husband was at the toy shop: he bought a D the E push-along trike. And I spent the afternoon pulling off the stickers (not an easy task) in small, pea-like pieces. Because I don't want her to have branded toys at such a young age.

Could you plse ask her never to put vegetarian lasagne on her menu? We veggies do detest it. <BR/><BR/>If she will do me goat's cheese on toasted baguette nestling in a green salad and a whopping glass of good red...I'm there. In fact, now I'm hungry and i'm going to have to have a whopping glass of good red.
