Actually funnily enough i didn't find out that I was pregnant with Tink Mush unitl 11 weeks. i sort of knew - being hte fifth, but the medics siad that it couldn't be, so it wasn't actually admitted until shown on a can at 11 weeks. <BR/><BR/>So many poeple change from being vegetarians because of bacon!<BR/><BR/>I too love fish in restaurants, rare as the experience is for us too at the moment!<BR/><BR/>And what a nuisance about not being able to teach in an Irish school because of the irish - or lack of. While you still have young children at home, why don't you learn Irish and then you could teach later?<BR/><BR/>Good blog!!

So to teach under 12's you need a qualification in Irish.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Amy.<BR/><BR/>LMM I seem to be quite like your mum, I really hope that I don't have to give up tennis like she did. I like entertaining too but eating out is stress free and no washing up!<BR/><BR/>Terri, could you not manage a bit of liver with onions, bacon and a nice tasty gravy? Mmmmm delicious.<BR/><BR/>Christine sounds like you'd be easy to feed if you came to dinner.Beccyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911316644797253921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36083545.post-58991838347615119252007-05-29T21:55:00.000+01:002007-05-29T21:55:00.000+01:00That's how it is at our house my husband and I lov...That's how it is at our house my husband and I love liver and onions, but the kids don't.

I got stuck with liver (I guess pork or beef, as lamb doesn't exist here) at a restaurant once and I felt sick for the rest of the afternoon (ah the way the mind works). And you know, since I really fell in love with cooking about four years ago, I choose cooking up a wonderful night in for friends or just Mr Moi, than eating out. Even if I don't have a dishwasher!Brooke - Little Miss Moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267299830665625580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36083545.post-62827357853721641752007-05-29T17:48:00.000+01:002007-05-29T17:48:00.000+01:00Have a great vacation!!Have a great vacation!!Amy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16889460762363255735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36083545.post-35432710585018697322007-05-29T17:04:00.000+01:002007-05-29T17:04:00.000+01:00You ARE a teacher!!
