Due in June........Shit, a sneeze just crept up on me without warning and I forgot to cross my legs!!!

[Daisybump]

I thought this was the funniest

That Simon is creepy isn't he?

AIBU to think that children's TV presenters should be no more than children themselves so that they can relate on a more realistic level?...There's definately something odd about a 40 year old singing "what's it like to be an animal in the jungle?" Unless of course its to their own children in the privacy of their own home...

My mum had a male cat called Boy....we tried lots of names out on him but nothing seemd to stick....oh my lord...what if the same thing happens with my LO......she'll be called bump forever...aaarrrrrgh

Well done sputnik! I thought little puppy was the least original dog's name, looks like you've beat me!

Dp wants to get two chickens and keep them in an eglu ! It's become the most important thing he wants to buy! Even more than the Plasma TV!!

Lol daisy, my godmother (the same one that had goats) also had a cat called boy! We used to call my brother boy when he was little, but it soon passed! Dp and I have this habit of calling Alice baby and we can't stop! She's going to be like her from dirty dancing!!

I think I've mentioned before our friend who's name is Bambino? I think me and DH have to pull our fingers out on the baby naming front or this one'll end up being Kid2, or something

I want an eglu...I want an eglu....Dh will think I've gone really potty now...

That is so cute sputnik, but I suppose if you are Italian Bambino must sound a bit odd!!

Daisy aren't eglu's cool?! I want some little bantams and have tiny eggs!! They are bloody expensive though. They are sometimes on ebay, might get dp one for christmas!

If you all can manage children, animals and plants you are doing better them me!!

heh - my cat is called 'pish wish' - she won't answer to anything else. I didn't name her - inherited her from my Mum's house. She came to catch mice and didn't want to leave.

Really struggling with work today...all this talk of new dresses makes me want to go shopping!

You'd end up wanting to let them out then they'd wreck your garden, shit everywhere and not want to go back in, believe me. I am so OVER domestic fowl

go zelda. shop. enjoy.

Oh. I thought you were talking about children there Sputnik!

I had bantams, they were nice but stubborn buggers.

Foxy, 9 years ago I lived in a veritable menagerie (haven't mentioned the 7 cats yet), millions of plants etc, now I am down to 1 geriatric dog and 3 plants, and one of those is on the way out.

DD is thriving though

PMSL foxy.....but you may have a point..DS doesn't differentiate between lawn and flower bed..

LOL BadZ...bet thet's embarrassing when you have to book her in at the vet.

Some friends of mine have got a son called Sonny...I thought it was a nickname, but noooo, that's what's on the birth certificate.

LOL Foxy.
DD is still in napies but when she gets taken out of them this summer that'll be her!

One thing i never understood about keeping chickens....how comes they lays eggs without the services of a cockerel?????? Is it just like mammal egg production, but on a slightly different scale?

Yes daisy! Eggs are chicken periods! Seriously! If you have a rooster your eggs will have chicks in! Not too appetising!

Put like that I'm beginning to regret the frittata I had for lunch [sick face]

Basically, yes Daisy. You wouldn't want to be eating the fertilised ones. You are meant to get better results though if you kind of show them a cockerel once in a while so they don't lose heart.

Right...the in-laws are on their way over so I'd better do last nights washing up before they get here....

Daisy, you are so like me it's scary! Washing up isn't really my thing either!

My bump feels like I've been doing sit-ups for a week....stop making me laugh

! Half way through our thread already in 2 days!!

I know Holly...I so want a dishwasher since mine is currently in Lincolnshire four nights a week . Defo having one before the baby is born...but it will involve a minor re-modelling of our kitchen to fit it where the plumbin is.
