There is a charming Spanish phrase, mojar el churro which literally means "to wet the churro"...aren't languages beautiful?Covering all bases, I like that. But first, you have to knead your dough thoroughly to make sure you get a good rise, otherwise your drizzle will be a disappointment.
I am of course going to have to slip you all a little novichok because you’ve triangulated my true identity but what’s a little novi between friends ey?
Ahh.. See doughnuts are tricky for me..

which slings do you guys have please? I have the baby ktan the pre wrapped cloth one which she loved as a newborn, but our problem is she’s the size of an average 6 month old so she’s heaaavy. I was going to get the baby bjorn structured ones but have heard babies either love or hate them which has made me procrastinate actually purchasing one!I second @Dustye suggestion of a sling @heretoreaditall2019. My second baby would not be left alone for a moment without completely losing her shit. I felt like I couldn’t do anything until I got a sling. My independence increased once she was around 6 months and we bought a second hand Circle of Neglect aka Jumperoo, which was amazing and let me finally do things without being attached to a baby.
Sorry for your shitty news @emm
On topic... had a KFC boneless banquet for lunch after a woodland walk with the kids.My IBS hated me for it. I wish I had the willpower to stop eating all my trigger foods but then I’d probably be left with nothing to eat. How can my body hate potatoes?!
funnily she’s absolutely fine with being left alone now thank god, she’ll fall asleep in her electronic swinger or lying down on sofa (I’m always next to her so she doesn’t roll), even at night. The first 5-ish weeks were legit torture where she wouldn’t though, and I’d have nightmares like yours where I was just constantly sleep deprived! Once you get solid blocks of sleep again that’ll stop, I’ve not had one in weeks.
although when baby met another baby she was more interested in the ceiling than her fellow tiny being 
This hand is my hand...this penguin is your penguin
Agreed, the world won’t get any better for depriving yourself of the joy of parenthood. The only thing we can do is equip children with the skills & the will to make a difference with how the world is currently. It’s been depressing seeing what an absolute gulf there is between need & the welfare state, I hope people remember this and vote differently next GE but who knows. I don’t want to derail this thread.I don’t think this thread has any ongoing conversation to it that’s the great thing we all come and go passing the hen party table on the way to the looyour first paragraph - the world is such a hard place, whatever brings you joy you must look forward to
) and I’m glad I didn’t if people are print screening 
I hope our discussion of post birth sheds isn’t sitting about someone’s screen shots folder 
Silver I'm fuming - MT has seemingly let in a trickle which is becoming a torrent of nasty, bigoted tory types in the past few weeks. Ugh ugh ugh.
I had my interview today! Its entry level, and I'm apparently the oldest they've interviewed (). Shall find out if I get a second interview by the end of day

Yes, me too. I’m glad Jack made horrible eggs to distract us all. I don’t have the brain space for it tonight. Freak out booked in for tomorrow morning. I know it gets said all the time but imagine showing our 2019 selves the front of today’s papers and we’re all justRumours of a month long lockdown has me a bitevery so often, its just a huge reminder that this is real life now!
Apparently his book that was released recently was excellent, sad though. I’d heard he wasn’t very nice in real life which I always hoped wasn’t true. The QI ep where they’re ripping into Stephen Fry when he talks about his tailor was just classic tv.I discovered recently, my daughter has somewhat of a crush on Alan Davies! We watch rather a lot of QI now
