A bumpy start to the holidays MyItchyBoy missed the last few days of term before the Christmas holidays as he was running a high temperature and was clearly not well. In an attempt to bring the temperature down, I gave him ibruprofen. Now, he’s only had it a couple of times in his little life. […]
Allergy Show – London 2014
MyItchyBoy could remember going to the show last year so he was rather excited. Once again, we went on the Sunday, as it tends to be quieter. The new hall was great – airy and wide aisles with a couple of areas to sit down (even if it was on the floor) to eat our […]
What we are still using from Allergy Show 2013
We’ve visited the Allergy Show in London for the past few years. Last year was the best yet for us I think. We got to meet a lot of lovely people and try a good few new products (new to us as well as new to the market). This post is about what we discovered […]

As much as I like to ensure that MyItchyBoy has a good supply of fruit, vegetable sticks and healthy, homemade, […]
Exciting discoveries in Gran Canaria
Earlier in December we were lucky enough to spend a lovely, sunny week in Gran Canaria. This post is about a couple of the products we enjoyed discovering on this trip. As mentioned in the previous post, we were lucky that our resort and town was full of Scandinavians. This was to our advantage as […]
Calorie Cake
I discovered Soreen’s Banana Cake in Sainsbury today. It does say that they use allergens in the same factory, but we’re usually fine with that here. MIB has never experienced malt loaf before as the original contains milk. His face was a picture as each mouthful took about ten minutes to chew! As far as […]
