Ali, I can recomend chocolate crackles, I put a table cloth on our kitchen floor (it's tiled) and just let her go for it, let her make her own crackles and salvaged the others for DH before the taste testing of the spoon began (I'm not really a fan of them myself) they are super easy to make and really hands on, with little mess.
Just out of curiosity are you and Ali or an Alison? I'm an Alison with one 'L' but mostly go by Allie (think Alison was a name of my generation)

What ever you decide with the egg donation it's nice that you are even able to consider the needs of others, it would of course be hard for your Mum to understand exactly as you are her baby, I'll be honest I never considered the issue myself at all until we had fertility issues ourselves.
I guess that is something I hadn't thought about yet is how would I feel about Paige donating her eggs, I guess our generation will be more undersanding because we are living it now, oh I don't know, can't really go there at the moment and I don't want to wish my journey on my little girl even though I don't regret it myself I am definately stronger as a result.

speaking of domestic godess it is time for me to go and make our lunches for work tomorrow and find us some clothing to wear oh and look it's 10:30 almost, good to see that I'm keeping to my schedule of Midnight to bed, at least I'm consistant,
And can I just ask......Where did that weekend just go????????????
