    Yep. And cantaloupe. And apples.

    Learned that from my Grandpa Jack.

    I've heard of people putting it on apples too, but not canteloupe! I might try it!
    I don't know, Mo! I had always heard of it..just never tried it until last night!

    My mother did it to cantaloupe :s

    NO NO NO

    Watermelon is better with salt. It is also better with Feta! (I also salt my apples occasionally. Maybe it's a southern thing?)

    Everything looks gorgeous Lois!!

    We've had some particularly ridiculous nights recently due to Ellie having a cold. She can't cope and does epic vomits due to congestion. Two nights ago I fed her at 11pm, 2am and 5 am. At 5am she then puked it all up everywhere and by the time it was cleaned up, we just got up for the day. Last night after her 11pm feed she puked again and wouldn't settle so ended up in bed with us until 2am (hate bedsharing but has to happen sometimes) then fed again at 5ish. 3 feeds a night is pretty standard for us, but the extra sick and cleaning is really tiring me out.

    Sorry Anne-Marie. This baby is really taking a toll on you! <3

    That cake is AMAZING!!! I thought it was a stock photo, at first.

    You look gorgeous, Lois. What a beautiful, fun wedding.

    Congratulations to @Lois_1988! The big day was yesterday!

    Tah Dah! For you all to enjoy.

    Of course I would give you the cake photo! FYI
    Top tier - Mint chocolate
    Middle - Lemon Drizzle
    Bottom - White Chocolate and Raspberry
    Separate Cutting cake - Red Velvet

    My only regret was that the mint chocolate should have been the bottom tier. That flavour went FAST!

    YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!

    Ha me too! In good news we seem to have turned a corner with food and at ten months old Ellie has finally started to reliably eat a bit. Today she had some veggie sticks, garden raspberries, a bit of my omlet and yogurt for lunch, and for tea she had a decent portion of veggie stew with us. Still totally refusing breakfast, maybe she's just not a morning person. No idea if this means she'll go longer between night feeds, but it can't hurt. We had her 10 months review with the health visitor and everything is dandy (except sleep but they won't do anything until she's older). Well done Ellie!

    Andrew enjoyed it too as the review happened at one of our regular play groups so he had free access to the toys without any other kids as competition. He was sad to leave!

    Thank you everyone! It was a great day! Weirdly as soon as I started walking down the isle, all my stress and anxiety just disappeared and I ended up really enjoying myself. Apart from the fact that I couldn’t pronounce ‘solemnly’ who puts that word in a pressure situation?! And Danny said ‘unlawfully’ instead of ‘lawfully’ :lol: so we both fluffed up our lines.

    I love the unlawfully wed! :D

    I just ate 902g of watermelon.

    Wow that’s a lot of watermelon! On the plus side you must have hit your water target for the day!

    Uhh yeah, don't eat that much watermelon so close to bed time. Lesson learned.

    :lol: ha ha oh no!

    I imagine 900g of any singular food is probably a bad idea close to bedtime.

    Well, I usually eat the bulk of my food before bed. It was the water content in the watermelon that caused the problems for me.
