8 mummy uses for baby stuff

We all have houses full of baby crap.  They are so small but need so much stuff.  Well fear not, you too can benefit from all this stuff.  Behold, 8 things you can do with your kid's stuff.

1.  Bonjella - teething gel.  This works great on burns.  It will numb pain and help healing.  Obviously the first aid stuff about running under cold water for ages still holds, but this stuff will help no end 30 mins or so later.

2 & 3. Sudacrem - nappy rash cream. This lovely white cream, beloved of sore botties world wide, is a godsend for your skin too.  It will help clear annoying spots with it's antiseptic and healing properties and also works great on any sore, dry patches on your hands from washing them too much.  If you have mild excema you can also use sudacrem if it's not bad enough for cortizone cream but too bad for normal moisturisers to cope with.

4, 5 & 6. Baby wipes.  These are in constant use in our house, from bottoms to faces, they keep my world clean.  And as an aside; you know they wash pretty well too - if they just get a bit of pee or general muck on them - and can be used again as disposable flannels.  But back to us grown ups, Baby wipes have 3 additional uses in our house, most importantly as an eye makeup remover.  Much cheaper than cosmetic wipes, and generally free of over drying alcohol, baby wipes will get off even the most gothic of make up.  Next is as a mud remover.  We have dark beige carpets but they still show every speck of mud that comes in on the paws and boots of the family.  A baby wipe will get even the muddiest marks out without staining.  Finally, in the car a baby wipe will quickly and easily get all that dust and muck off steering wheel and consoles and they smell great, giving your car a quick and easy valet in 20 seconds.

7. Nintendo Wii, or other games console.  We bought a Wii for our oldest daughter but I have to say we probably use it more than her.  The Wii Fit games are a great way to snatch a few minutes of activity a day to get that figure back to the one you remember from all those years ago.  For my next birthday I am asking GothDad for Just Dance.  My sister in law has it and it's brilliant for dancing around and being silly, and getting a great cadio workout.  Consoles are no longer just for the geeks and teenagers.

8. Petit Filou Chocolate pudding.  OMG This is the best ever pudding in the entire world.  Full fat, high octane taste.  To make it look dead sophisticated take 4 or 6 nice champagne bowl type glasses, split the 4 dark chocolate pots between the glasses and then spoon the white chocolate on top.  Then grate a little bit of chocolate (choc buttons etc) over the top and pop in the fridge until you need to serve it.  If you don't tell no-one need know it comes from the kids aisle.

OK, I wanted to do 10 but I could only think of 8.  If you have any siggestions please post a comment.
