PS They are called ****tail frankfurts and are miniature frankfurts - saveloys are shorter and fatter than frankfurts and usually a much deeper colour red, like 'battered savs' at the fish and chip shop. Apparently it's a British thing.
DH had me confused for about a year when I first met him cos he kept talking about Cheerios and as far as I knew that was an American breakfast cereal LOL. He's from QLD and they also call them little boys up there.
ETA - that's weird about handing them out at the butchers!! When we were kids the butcher always gave us a big chunk of fritz. Don't get me started about how fritz is NOT the same as Devon (blergh)!

Welcome back MD, glad that sleep school has helped.
In NZ we don't usually get frankfurters, mainly saveloys. If you were to get a battered sav at a fish and chip shop it would be a hot dog. I have had the same thing called a Pluto Pup in QLD

*YAY*!!!!!! MD is back! So glad to hear that you did take something away from QE2 kwim? I really hope that the next step for you makes a huge difference for you. The bonnet sounds lovely. The Baptism we went to for our friends baby in May, she had a white cotton bonnet and this very simple long cotton smock over a long white jumpsuit and she just looked divine.
Hayley, the gut is the key to overall good health, so if your gut is unhealthy, then chances are the rest of you is too. 80% of the bodies bacteria lives in the gut, so you need to make sure it is in tip top order to have a good crack at fixing everything else. The problem with ABs is that they kill off everything - not just the nasties they are supposed to kill off, which is why you can be more susceptible to thrush after taking them or in kids they will have a lowered immunity to everything else going around. LOL at your MIL being a nurse - my Mum was a nurse too but you wouldn't think so now, she's a absolute shocker.
Arte, I love how the same thing can have different names in different areas - if you walked into a cafe here and asked for a pluto pup, dagwood dog or batter sav, you would get the same thing - a battered saveloy on a stick. If you asked for a hot dog you would get a frankfurt in a bun. One thing I do hate though and have been caught out with when on coastal areas, if you ask for a 'scallop' in a cafe you get those horrible little molluscs, so you have to ask for a potato cake LMAO. Our here you have to ask for a Tasmanian Scallop to get one of those and scallop gets you a potato cake - so confusing!
Lovely day here today - very brisk outside but the sun is out. Apparently we are gonig to be in for a lot of rain come Sunday night - like INCHES of rain. I hope not, we already have our dams full so it will all just flood and make a godawful mess everywhere. I know we need the rain and all, but not that much at once kwim? Mother nature just can't get it right lately.
Poor Alister has a sore bot-bot. He and the girls have had a pox virus for 2wks now (blistery pimple looking things) and the girls seem fine now, but Alisters bottom is red raw and I don't know what to do next because its a virus, so nothing will clear it. Apparently it can take up to 6mths to be fully rid of it depending on your immune systems reaction to it and the kids are already low. When I took them to the Dr he said you can only treat it with Iodine, but I'm not game to put it on with the skin so raw. hurts him to poo too, because as the skin stretches, it hurts him.
LOL Sherie, here a potato cake is a potato fritter (if you are talking about the slice of potato in batter) , a scallop will get you the shell fish. So funny how some things are called something different every where you go. Don't even get me started on Thongs (which are thin strapped underwear!!!!)
Awwww Trillian, A's butt sounds painful, poor little thing, That virus sounds nasty.
Lu is also still on AB's for her UTI. I give her Jalna, i thought that had live culture in it, but i may be wrong..... Do you know?
MM- Inner health for kids is from 1yr. But like someone else said a tiny bit is good. A friend works for Inner HEalth and they have been giving a tiny bit on the end of their finger to their some since he was3 months old. I have some on order at the local pharmacy, should be in this week.
MD- Hope the Baptism goes well today. Wish i was at the snow, cracker day. We're only about an hour and a half away, so when DH finally has a weekend off we'll sneak up.
Cally- We call then little boys here too!
I wont even start on MIL's, i'm just pleased mine lives a plane flight away. I would be furious if anyone gave my children food they knew i didn't approve of. JaZmum- i totally agree on getting dh's to talk to their mums, why should we be the baddies all the time?!
Often around our house we say 'oh stop being a sooki la-la'. Just mucking around to each other usually. The other night Lu was a bit grizzly, Dh picked her up and said 'come on la-la' and she looked at him and said 'la-la?' It was pretty funny, particularly because she doesn't say much else.
Ange, the Jalna does have live culture too. You could try some Brauer's recovery tonic too - got me some yesterday for Alister as opposed to giving him probiotics cause I'm not sure how to give it to him yet. How cute at Lu saying 'la-la'. I tried putting some manuka honey on it but it really hurt him and he started crying as soon as it went on, so I just put some more iodine on with his last nappy change and he didn't seem to mind that as much. I might give him a tub later with some bi-carb in it to clean it properly.
