Due April 2009 - Sod the thread title, we will need a new one in a week.

[PuzzleRocks]

Welcome new joiners, lurkers, occasional updaters, prolific posters, and Nutty and Springy .
I say this one wont last a full 10 days.

was going to claim the chicken keepers job in the commune (we have three just now) but I see its been taken - maybe we could work together kitty. i'd like to have pigs too.

lol frekkles at nutty complaining about my washing - either you are an astute judge of character, or I've let slip just how messy I am - was hoping I could escape admitting to that so I can enter the commune/village life but maybe not

on the upside, i could contribute tap dancing classes,

dh is a youth worker so could take all the kids off our hands when they get to an annoying teenage stage

i could make kilt outfits for the baby boys

will help with the cooking and baking - brownies and profiteroles a speciality

will plan and organise commune trips abroad - maybe an african exchange with a commune in Zambia

can give legal advice (well Scottish legal advice so not much use in Derbyshire) - especially on matrimonial matters for when we all fall out with our dh/dps.

oh and I'll join Boffinmums choir.

didnt see anyone claim the orange creams - i'd like a couple of them and a strawberry cream too if possible.

Conkers - by all means, teach me about chickens!!! tee hee...

I'm off to bed now too - see y'all in the morning!

I've written my letter so have nipped back in!

I can't believe that you can make kilts, Conkertree! We paid about £1000 for DH's kilt outfit for our wedding. He looks gorgeous in it I'm not sure whether I prefer him in that or in his PTI kit.

phew, I'm back. Just a little sick and embarrassed. On the plus side, I did make the NHS direct woman laugh uproarously when she said 'you should drink little and often, and maybe ice chips would help?' and I replied 'er..that's what got me in this mess in the first place actually'.

Can I be in the choir too? Got a mean soprano but the sight-reading's pretty sporadic...

Are there loads of strawberry creams left? I could eat them all day (and sometimes do if we have nice patients who give us chocolates as no-one else at work seems to like them).

Right, I'm off to bed now with DH

Night, night.

Conker, you sound great. My DS2 is named after 2 Scottish kings and distantly descended from the Stuarts via the Grays/Sutherlands (we are practically talking going back to Neanderthal Man times here I imagine), and has always wanted a kilt in celebration of this fact. So I am sure he will be your first client up at the commune.

His dad looks creepily like James VI, btw, as I realised whilst touring around Edinburgh Castle in September ... like here but I made him shave off his goatee when I met him, and frankly he is a lot more smiley.

However I got a bit of a thrill realising I had in fact inadvertently shagged a royal, genetically speaking at least. Is that sad???? I felt a bit like an American claiming kin where it was a bit dubious tbh, but it did feel quite cool.

Glad you're back and OK, MM. As they say, never eat the blue ice lollies. Especially the Harpic ones (shouldn't tease, should I??)

So, how's everyone getting on with deciding names? Are they all worked out, not even thought of yet, or top secret?

We've already got an A first (Abigail), and a B second (Benjamin) - though we didn't plan on alphabetical names, just liked those for our first two children. Soooo...is it silly if we carry on and have a C this time? Thinking of C names...we've pretty much landed on Catherine for a girl (tho probably call her Katie) and Clement for a boy. What do you all think?

Hello.

Feel massively sick today and a bit disappointed to be still pg and in pain. In fact would have preferred never to wake up again. Sympathy very welcome.

Have to write a literature review on something boring today, and speak to people I don't know on the phone for work as well, and I don't like talking on the phone when I am grumpy, and have to pretend to be cheerful. Not a happy Boff.

Poor Boff!! Would a hot cross bun and a cup of tea help?

XXX

((Boffin)) have some of my raspberry jam. And a cuddle with my DD, who is dressed as a piglet, and smells all curly and sleepy.

I LOVE Clement for a boy

We have decided on Amelia Charlotte

Nutty - DD loves cars. Hardly surprising really as DH is mad about classic and supercars. She has a garage full of sports cars and jags and f1 cars. She watched DH driving Ferrari 360's at Silverstone. I wasn't sure about taking her because I thought it we be too noisy and boring for her but she loved it.
I would have a DB7 or a Maserati GT. Maybe a Koenigsegg for speed although it couldn't beat your Veyron.

Boffin - I had a dream about shagging Alice Cooper who was wearing pvc hotpants. Try to have dreams like that and you will definitely be grateful to wake up in the morning. Seriously, I hope the day gets better for you.

Rachel - both great names and I like the A,B,C thing.
We have chosen Holly Elizabeth. We already have an Ellen Madeleine.

Alice Cooper!
How could he be wearing them in flagrente????

They had an opening.

I'm finding that strangely erotic

but also very funny.

I was thinking of asking DH to get a pair .

Had to laugh at the Alice Cooper thing. I had an Alan Titchmarsh-related erotic dream once that has caused great mirth in this household and still makes me blush

Would very much like to scoff a hot cross bun with raspberry jam whilst cuddling a small piglet person. May limp down to kitchen in search of carbs in a minute. Had breakfast at 3.30am so not surprising I feel sick really.

Written an article on SPD for Wikipedia this morning but my references are all buggered up. Anyone know how to get them to list properly?
