Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

reminds me of "Fletch" in Footballers Wives, I'm afraid.
Hmm where did that random 'the' come from in that sentence.
I wouldn't use it. I'm not pregnant or planning to have more.

Just wondering what the other people thought of it.

Just makes me automatically think: 'felcher'.
Bad. Unfortuntely I know a Fletch(er). He is a moron. Referred to either as Wretch or Letch.
Sorry, but the only Fletcher I have know (and that was his surname) was known as Feltcher.

Not a typo or nickname I would want associated with my child.
Would be good if not for Norman Stanley.

I agree with choufleur. to me Fletcher is always preceded by Norman Stanley.
I like surnames as first names - but you do have to think of nick-names that children will get.

Having said that my son's name is a terrible american surname/nickname combo so go for it!
bog standard even!!
Depends if you like surnames as first names. Same vein as Harrison, Jackson, Cooper etc to me. Sounds American.
was one of dh's favourite when I was expecting dc1 (and I was swaying towards it!) dc1 turned out to be dd1 and she has a big standard common name now hmm

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
