To go with Charlie.

Baby isn't due until March but we just can't decide on any names and it's exhausting us both a bit...

Up until a week before DD was born she was an Elsie but everyone hated it (except us and my GP - his daughter is an Elsie).

I love it.

My great grandma was called Amelia Florence but Amelia is very popular nowadays.

Mabel, Ivy (if you can get "poison" out of yur head) and Martha are pretty.

Nell is beautiful.

The only thing with "Nellie" is to avoid elephant associatons.

Sossy · 11/12/2008 01:07

Me too my eyes are bleeding now.

There isn't a PM system here is there?

Frances just had 2 weeks off school..chest infection and ear! Poor baby. We're going to butlins on Friday!

How's life your end?

goodasgoldfrankincenceandmyrhh · 11/12/2008 01:13

Poor little Frances. Hope she's better to enjoy Butlins.

We are all very well, apart from dd2 and ds who have a sicky bug and keep on vomitting everywhere, I got my Christmas tree today, tried to arrange meeting you in EG but you didn't pick up the phone hahaha.

Sossy · 11/12/2008 01:15

Oh no did you not do the secret ring?? That would've been so nice! Aw another time! We got a tree too, it was a right bargain, only £13 from homebase. (real)

goodasgoldfrankincenceandmyrhh · 11/12/2008 01:26

I didn't do the secret ring, because I don't know it. I let it ring for a while and thought you would do 1471. My tree is gorgeous, check out the tinsel/no tinsel thread! I chose my picture of the children today at Hamilton Studios at the top of town and I wanted your opinion, but I think I chose a nice one.
