I'm after things to supliment a household income and which I can do from home. Here's what I've come up with: 1. Deliver yellow pages using my pram with my baby strapped to my front. 2. Count votes at local or national elections. 3. Work for a sex call line thingy (Mr. QB said no to this one, odd th...

I recently hurt my back as a result of having a baby and all my joints loosening up. I've been seeing a physiotherapist and she's got me doing exercises strengthening the mussles around my tummy and pelvic flour and it's really helped. I've been doing the exercises lots each day and I've found there...

Mr. QB is a biologist and says that the bacteria in our bodies weighs more then our bodies! Now I knew my feet were a bit grim but that's gross!

Hello,

My little one is starting to teeth. Does anyone have any ideas for alternatives to the plastic toys for him to chew on? He's still very little (four months) so isn't great at gripping things. He can hold small rings best.

Thank you.

I breast fed him and no one batted an eyelid, though the young chap handing out buscuits did pass me by :lol: I think it was a success. Where else ca...

Mr. QB has used a five gallon plastic container for wine making. It worked fine though it was designed for beer making.

My little one's two months old and I'm still exculsively breast feeding and not expressing into a bottle.

Hello, Start simple; try things like an apron, shopping bag, straight baggy trousers or utailored summer top for sewing. For knitting and crochet try scarfs, hats and socks. It can also be useful to start with baby or childrens' clothes as it doesn't matter if they come out a tad wonky and you use l...
