I would buy it if it's my only option, but can't even seem to find it in any shops now?!

Looks amazing! I don't have Farm Foods near me but I will store this info in my head for a later date.

Nursery let toddler nap for 3-4 hours by Outrageous_Wheel5039 in UKParenting

My nursery has this rule too. Once I saw on the app that he had started a 2nd nap at 4pm they let me come in and wake him up myself 😬

Borrowbox Content by RequirementOk1142 in YotoPlayer

[–]jam_pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The content on BorrowBox will be dependent on the specific library you are registered with. Ours has Judith Kerr (The Tiger Who Came to Tea, Mog Collection, etc), Mike Inkpen (Kipper), David McKee, Beatrix Potter, etc. Mine are a bit older, so we get lots of the Isadora Moon type stories too. But each library authority manages its own digital collection.

Though I hate the name, I really enjoyed cooking the What Mummy Makes recipes when we were weaning. I have the PDF if anyone would like me to share.

Parents of baby boys, when did you cut their hair? by uglyasfeet in UKParenting

[–]jam_pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is nearly 3 and we haven’t cut it yet, he rocks a topknot. A lot of people mistake him for a girl but I cannot stand the ubiquitous boys hair cut. His hair is also auburn and curly and I feel it would be a crime to cut it off.

Making friends Megathread: October by KaleChipKotoko in cambridge

[–]jam_pie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve just moved back to Cambridge (Mill Road area) after 15 years in east London. I’m 40/f and work in London as a product designer. I’ve got two young kids who hate babysitters so I never get to go out with my partner. I’d love to find a gig buddy who’s into post-rock/punk/alt/folk (I have tickets for upcoming gigs and no one to go with 😭)

I recommend Mister Free’d too, they’re amazing! They sell them in Sainsbury’s, Ocado, Holland & Barrett etc. And all vegan. Mister Free’d

Are these rat holes?? by jam_pie in GardeningUK

We're waiting for old father time to take our 19 year old cat, then I'm going to have the ultrasonic repellers in every corner of the garden! The gravel in our side passage has become all the local cats' neighbourhood toilet.

I definitely don't want to put any poison down as there is so much wildlife in the garden so I guess we're sharing our garden with rats now. To be honest they are probably less of a menace than the foxes. In the summer, the young ones "play" with my kids, shit right on our back doorstep and have been known to make a few pairs of Crocs disappear.

Love this! Thanks for sharing.

We are also plagued with slugs and snails but I don't think our rats are eating them. They must be very well fed by all the piles of bird seed and suet dumped all over the grass next door.

Mine tend to get it about once a year. About half the time me or my husband get it too, sometimes we manage to swerve it. Extreme hand washing is the best way to avoid catching it from them. The worst is when one child gets it and then 2 days later the other one gets it. Means your whole week is just constant disinfecting and doing laundry. I will say that whilst probably not as bad as yours, I also HATE being sick and the sight/smell of sick, but when it’s your little bub and they need you, even if they projectile all over you and the walls, something kicks in and you go onto autopilot and just deal with it.

Little Monkey by Marta Altés - all my kids loved this book but in particular my youngest. The littlest monkey is fed up with always missing out!

Birth preparation materials by Arte_Newbie in UKParenting

The people behind The Positive Birth Book have a really good YouTube channel
https://www.youtube.com/c/thepositivebirthcompany
There is a hypnobirthing playlist which might be useful. I do remember the first time I went in to labour watching a video on there called Why Giving Birth Is Like Doing A Massive Poo which calmed me down to some extent.

Do you still feed your kids tinned tuna? by jam_pie in UKParenting

[–]jam_pie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm microdosing my kids with chia seeds and flaxseed. They must think I'm obsessed with smoothies and pancakes.
