Ya see, I can't have Terry now, because I've made him into a real live fish! He's got eyes and gills and everything. I've got no kids today and I am in danger of him becoming my best friend for the rest of the day!

Ours in Turkey Lurkey or some other silly name he comes up with. I don't participate, he's not dragging me into it.

He already calls dd "bucka" because he called her chicken when she was little, then cluck cluck for "short" then "bucka" has now stuck. She even answers to it. He even calls ME Carrie Cupcake.

He's weird, what can I say. Looks good in jeans, so you see the appeal, I can over look the madness

At Christmas our turkey is always Esmerelda, but that's the only meal that gets named.

Crace you are a bad, bad person. You have no business making me even more of a computer saddo! My poor dd used to get the PC after school and at the weekends, but now I keep finding good excuses for her not to be using it! I would thankyou not to suggest anymore silly website! BTW, I can't be arsed with Suduko, so I won't be bothering with that one!

I've got a problem with that site, everytime I log in, I get Microsoft Office2000 trying to load When I cancel it, it sends a error report to Microsoft and then chucks me out of internet! Maybe its trying to tell me to do something more constructive with my day off!

MaureenMLove · 24/05/2007 11:28

Shame, you could have had Pinky & Perky for port chops! WHAT AM I DOING, you're drawing me into your crazy world!!

I tend to only name joints of meat though OH refers to steaks as 'them boys' or 'lads'

chicken always seems to be Charlie
turkey is usually Bruce
Lamb is Bo
I dont have one for beef - do now though, Angus! thanks Mo!!!

not too keen on pork so it doesn't get a name

Don't tell me, you call steak Angus!!!! One of my mindees(2) always refers to her food as little fella! So if she's eating cherry toms for example, she'll say, 'I'm just gonna eat that little fella!'

this sunday we are having Bo (as in Bo-Peep)...

MaureenMLove · 24/05/2007 10:33

No, really, that is weird girls!!!

MaureenMLove · 24/05/2007 10:32

Morning ladies! I've been a busy bee this morning! Have already cut the grass front and back, cleaned bathroom, started getting shit together for weekend away and put the phone down on dh! (oh joy)
No kids, incidently! Didn't endanger anyone in the cutting of grass, although I probably shouldn't have done it in my flip flops!!
Glad the weather is still good with you Crace.
I know its a bit obviously for a rabbit name, but what about Thumper!

soak · 24/05/2007 10:14
