not a happy bunny :-/

Longgg week. Including nasty customers who think they know better. Worlds worst toothache and to top it off my mum thinks she knows "best".
Ollie dairy free has been going well. Not any new recipes as I've been working alot this week but managed to wizz up a few fairy cakes. Today though my mum looked after my son. She usually listens and does as I say and being a nurse is usually clued up. Well... She gave my son cheese sandwiches for lunch resulting in him having 2 sloppy poops later in the day. His poops have been looking more normal lately and she goes and spoils it. She has finally realised my dairy free experiment was not just a whim. Apparently it takes a couple of weeks to get dairy out your system so this has set us back. Least she is honest with me. Oh dear, I had words as I felt she undermined me. His ezcema also improved and for his sake hoping stays that way. This behaviour I expected from the in laws not mum. Oh well.
 Got dentist tomorrow as im in agony with my wisdom teeth. Just going to dose myself up with cocodomol then off to bed.
As for work im thinking maybe i should try invest in a money tree im sure it would fit ok in the garden. Even if it sprouted the odd fiver id be happy ;-)

Tantrums and toasties

Tantrums galore today including head banging (including myself lol). Last night was where it began, my husband put him to bed whilst I popped off to zumba. I can home to a little monster who should of been fast asleep. Partly because he was scratching his legs so much poor thing. He also slaps his legs, makes me want to cry. Today he has just been a terror and chucking his toys everywhere. As regards to his dairy free though he takes to coconut milk well and making sure he takes his multivitamins.
Today's recipe I'm not quite sure what to call it but it was nice. Dairy free tuna toastie. See my recipe page for more info, quick simple and yummy. Not to everyone's taste but he liked it. 

Hemorrhagic cyst (off topic)

After seeing the doctors for a few months and pushing for some help due to pains I finally got a scan and have a hemorrhagic cyst. Nothing too much to worry about but to keep an eye on it. Feel a lot better now I know whats going on as everything was running through my head I.e cancer and wondering what will happen next and I now feel like a big weight has lifted off my shoulders.

Dairy free cakes!

Last few days have been very hectic and my poor little man seems to be hating being dairy free. He does however seem to like KOKO coconut milk in strawberry so that seems to be his night drink at the minute. I have also made some yummy dairy free cakes and i was surprised how they tasted "normal".
And here they are! will pop the recipe on the dairy free page.

Little man had me up at 3am this morning, think it may have to do with the lack of milk. Seems to only like strawberry flavoured coconut milk. Finding it very hard and stressful. Especially when i had to les e for work at 730am. Will keep it up for a month to see if any changes. Found some dairy free bargains today at work = Tesco malt loaf only 28p, also their fresh free from range has some nice spreads 2 for £4 and very tastey on wholgrain crackers. Might sound biased but my local Aldi and Morrisons don't really have a non dairy section.

Day 2 Ollie dairy free

Seems to have gone OK so far. Soya milk is vile and I hate giving it him. Made it with decaf tea (half milk half water) and he drank it. Also surprised at myself for making my 1st dairy free Yorkshire puds. Think I'll start recording some recipes I make up.
Still getting into this blogging thing, I might start to adapt this to a dairy free blog about my son and hopefully touch base with some other mums. 

Dairy free??

Since my 1st update I can say Valentines was a success. The only thing I found worrying was the little Mr and Mrs game we played... Asked each other random questions about ourselves  e.g favourite band etc. After 10years together we did very poor... Oops
Our little man has had the poops all week bless him. He's been bit of a pain since birth, never had what id call a "normal" poo. He's also suffered from ezecma which after lots of research maybe dairy related. I'm going to try the process of elimination so I can try get to the bottom of it and get the doctors to make more effort. Started replacing milk with soya products which most actually taste ok. Ollie however passed his milk back to me before bed this evening as I must admit tasted vile. Had to put some sugar in it to make him drink it.

My first post!

OOOHHH my first post on valentines day. Well tonight I'm treating my hubby and we are off out. Looking forward to some proper food as the diet is taking its toll on me this week, I've never felt so hungry I could eat a horse....(excuse the pun).
My mum is coming over to watch Ollie so we can have some much needed us time. Over the next few weeks i will be loading my recipes and hopefully sharing hints and tips from other readers and bloggers.
One thing i would like to share is my little Ollie suffers from eczema badly and its getting worse. I'm going to try Soya milk and products by cutting out dairy to see if that will help the situation.
My first blog is a bit short but i'm a newbie so bear with me till i find my virtual feet in the wonderful world of Blogging.
