Jack's Potty Training - Update

Around 6 months ago now I first started to potty train Jack. This week - for the first time - he has gone ALL WEEK with clean dry pants! Whooohoooo!

Ok. so if you don't have kids that will leave you pretty cold, but for us mums (and dads) it is a big deal. We still need to remind him sometimes - before meal, before we go out etc - but this week he's been brill, even going on the toilet by himself not just the potty.

I'm thinking, if we get another week or so like this I'll start trying him over night in pants instead of nappy-pants. He has a potty in his room, and a roll of toilet paper. He uses it sometimes if he is playing in his room by him self. I'm feeling optimistic!

It's another important milestone. At the risk of tempting fate I'd say he was dry now during the day. He's talking fluently too and people (not just family) can understand him. He has bags of confidence and loves to play out with the other kids on the street even though they are all at least 2 years older than him.

Can't believe he's going to be starting nursery in September....It's only 4 months away! He's so grown up!

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
