That's a shame, I've cut out a lot of alcohol myself lately, I don't tend to drink it anymore, but I will have it in food every so often. I make a lovely BBQ mince with JD in it and a killer coffee and baileys cake...

Me too, can I come round to yours and have some...
I made garlic chicken today, it was a bit of an experiment but worked out lovely
-
^^it sounds wrong doesn't it? But its not a normal cake, like not a fluffy texture sort of cake. It doesnt go bad because the alcohol you feed it with preserves it. Ive read that if you dont use it as long as you start feeding it again a few months before it'll still be good for next christmas, but I dont quite trust that information :/
If you ever get chance to try one (a shop bought one) I would, they do taste really good.

I have been home with my daughter for almost one and a half year now and I'm going too study some courses in school during winter and spring. My boyfriend has studied and now he work. In the spring I will be working, hopefully full time and my boyfriend hopefully full time. Our daughter will be at kindergarten, as it is for now she will go 2 days in the week, 5 hours a day. We maybe make it 3 days, we haven't really decided.
It's great if one parent is home, wether it's the man or the woman. But there's a lot of people who can't make it work financially. And I think it's actually, even with a baby, quite boring not have a work to go to.
But to the question, yes why shouldn't a man stay at home? If you are having kids with a man you probably know he is capable of taking care of them. But mother's who decide to work are always being criticized by other mothers. In fact, mothers are always being criticezed by other mothers. There are always something to complain about. You do everything wrong suddenly, when you be a mum.
Yeah you cant do right, I find the moment you get pregnant people decide they can judge your behaviour.

Yeah, supposedly the starches convert to sugars. Don't know if that's true.
The secret to storing potatoes is:
cool - but not refrigerated.
dark - light will make them sprout
humid - so they don't dry out
air - you need air circulating around and between them so moisture doesn't build up on the surface. No plastic bags
Use any that are cut or damaged first.
We used to grow our own potatoes and store them in the basement. They would last all winter that way.
Yeah I was going to reply but this pretty much covers it.
I keep mine under the side in a veg basket (the space under the side is for a dish washer but we haven't invested in one of those yet, I don't want one, where would I put my potatoes if we do get one?)

i have been brought up in a way that you both work to be able to provide for your children. It isnt fair that one of them are working while the other is at home. But at the end of the day I understand that not everyone can leave their children with someone while they go to work.
I have been brought up by babysitters/nannies my entire life while my parents worked their arses off to be able to make my life and my sibling's life a lot more comfortable. And even though i dont condone how i was brought up, because i hardly saw my parents and when i did see them they werent in the mood to play or take me out etc.
When it comes down to how i live my life, I know i couldnt be the only breadwinner in the family. In a perfect world, I would love to be able to work around both of our hours. So that there would be someone to be always with the kids etc. But who knows how my world will work out in the end, either way I would love to be able to be a stay at home mum, but i know i would go mental being not in charge of money if he is the one making it.
Family life is such a pain lol, it can be so awkward to get the balance right, if you work around each others hours you get to have one of you with the kids all the time, but you don't get to see much of each other which is not good for your relationship.
I think whether your both working or only one of you is working you need to look at it as both of your money rather then whoever earns its money, otherwise you would come across a million problems whichever way you look at it. However I know that's not how everyone does it and it does work out for some couples to keep everything separate (but to me that seems weird)
However, everyone works out what they feel is best for their family and every family is different, so no-one can really say what is right and wrong as what works for some may not work for others.

Its a fruit cake, you bake it at least a few months before hand and have to make holes in it every few weeks and add a bit of Brandy, it keeps the cake and makes it mature so it also tastes nicer.
I'll have to see when I have some spare time. Most of the recipes say to do it in October, really I wanted to just check if I did it now it wouldn't be too soon. Don't know when I'll make it, I'll just have to see when I have the time and the ingredients in, as long as its between now and October should be fine

I think she havent get time tom watch football, and womans dont watch it.
No women stay at home and watch the oven....

I've decided I'm making a Christmas cake this year, I've found plenty of recipes and am going to soak the fruit the day before as lots of recipes have had this tip.
All I want to know really is when is the best time to bake it, I'm thinking October time, but would it be nicer or not as nice if I started it now. I know you have to feed it every few weeks with brandy after making. Just can't decide when to start it

I don't really agree with any of your brothers points :/
If the marriage splits up the courts will look at the fact that he has looked after the kids ect. and he would have a case for custody, if he did gain custody of the kids then she would have to pay child support. I've heard of plenty of cases where the man has custody of the kids and its down to whether the man has pursued his ex for child support as to whether he gets it from her or not. The courts aren't going to look at a woman getting lots of money and not looking after her kids and say ''yeah but she's a woman she shouldn't have to pay'' if anything they're going to be tougher on her because its weird for the woman to not be the one with custody.
I'm pretty sure women do appreciate the help at home, why would they view the husband as competition for resources anymore then a man with a housewife would view her the same? I don't actually get this point at all :S
Now then, the problem I see with having a house husband is more of a practical one. If the woman is either the sole or the main provider for money, when she has children she HAS to take time off work, whether she takes the full maternity leave she is entitled too or the minimum she needs to have and get over the birth of her child. This will effect the family financially as for whatever time she has off, they will be seeing a cut in their earnings. Obviously this also happens if she works but isn't the sole or main provider, however if she isn't earning more then her husband then the difference probably wont effect them as much.
Although, personally I have no problem with a woman being the sole provider and the man being a stay at home Dad. Personally it wouldn't be for me, I couldn't imagine going to work and leaving my partner to look after the kids. I'd feel very left out, however not all women feel the same as me and that is fine.
I also agree that he would need to have hobbies so he isn't just a home maker and I'm not saying that staying at home, looking after kids and a house isn't a hard job, its just you do need more then that whether you are a man or a woman, but that goes the same for someone who works anyway. You can't just have your work, you need other things going on in your life.

I know a couple of people who appreciate Hawk eye being in it..... but yeah he's not one of my favourites, I don't think it will effect the film much though, I don't think he'll have a major role. Hopefully not anyway.

I have the same problem with wide feet
Sometimes shoes are fine with me, but other times they're too tight or show my toes. I don't think I have weird feet but they don't seem to make shoes to fit me. So your not alone

WHAT ARE YOU DOING????

I'm very tempted to join, but the thought of trying to remember all the books I've read scares me a little and I don't want to look sad by only having one or two on there :/

Welcome back Sam... (I know I've already spoken to you but its official if its in your thread haha)
I'm so proud of you as well btw, it must have been tough for you. Glad your being yourself now, you must be so much happier for it
-
Sounds like something an ugly person would say....
nah I have to agree with whats been said above, you can't label people, yes I've met plenty of beautiful selfish people but I've also met plenty of selfish not so beautiful people as well as lovely people who are also beautiful. You really can't generalise about anyone, whether it be faith, nationality or looks. People can be lovely and people can be horrible, its down to the person that makes them that way though not what they look like or where they come from

^^Yeah I agree with you on all those points, although I've noticed they've been going that way with a lot of the superhero films (with the weak main bad guy) I can't say too much as you've just mentioned you haven't seen Iron man 2 lol.
But they seem to be going for a lot of killing minor bad guys, such as loads of soldiers in captain America and then the real bad guy being killed quite quickly and easily :/ over all though I still really enjoy the films.
You do need to watch Iron Man 2 though.
-
Just watched Captain America, I actually enjoyed it. A LOT better than The Green Lantern
AGHHHHH I took my son to see Green Lantern, it was shocking, his first film at the cinema I think I'm going to lie when he's older and tell him the first one he saw was the Avengers :/
Yeah Green Lantern, not cool
oh and another not cool one, the last film I watched 'siren' I would NOT suggest it
What are you watching right now?
