Hi crace! Im off to jumping jacks today, then nursery run, play at mine, then school run, then kids til 7.30. Not nice here, I'm quite jealous

Went and bought a gorgeous rabbit yesterday! Been going to see her every day in pets at home and dp finally caved! She is white with pink eyes.

I need name suggestions during the day before dp demands we call her cassidy - want something that's less of a mouthful for the kids! Also dp got to name our cat (c for) so I have told him it's my turn!!

Alby? (albino?)
Pinky
Snowy

KaySamuels · 24/05/2007 09:21

I liked pinky! Didn't dare suggest it to dp! Like alby too.

Thin dp would kick me out if I called it snowy!

I would name it something human, our dog is Thomas which is awful as we liked it as a boys name, but hey never mind. Our dog in the States was Sasha and before that Emily!

crace · 24/05/2007 10:06

glad I'm not alone!!!!

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!

MaureenMLove · 24/05/2007 10:33

No, really, that is weird girls!!!

soak · 24/05/2007 10:37

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

MaureenMLove · 24/05/2007 10:43

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!'

crace · 24/05/2007 10:52

Awww, now that is just cute!

OP posts:
crace · 24/05/2007 10:52

I need to hunt down the little "fella" that gave me their cold! Dd is full off it, now ds, and now me! Can't wait for DH to get it so he can "die" of man flu!

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

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!!

soak · 24/05/2007 11:43

PMSL!!!!!! have been entertaining myself on the trivia quiz website

MaureenMLove · 24/05/2007 12:04

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!

crace · 24/05/2007 12:04

My evil plan worked! Try this one www.websudoku.com/

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!
BTW, has the sun gone in yet and should I pack my wellies!
