Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same

Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know
I would have flown to you
To be where you are
No matter how far
And now that I'm next to you

No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you

And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

Especially for you
I wanna tell you, you mean all the world to me
How I'm certain that our love was meant to be
You changed my life
You showed me the way
And now that I'm next to you

I've waited long enough to find you
I wanna put all the hurt behind you
And I wanna bring out all the love inside you, oh

And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

You were in my heart
My love never changed
No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you

And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

New thread especially for Ready

Ds is allowed to watch a limited amount of TV - quite often when he gets home from nursery and we want to get a bit of food into him but calm him down a bit before his bath. We have been watching CeeBeebies, but recently discovered Kipper on Nickleodeon Junior (which we appear to get at the moment). This has some good programmes, but also has adverts . have decided to bite the bullet and tell ds that these adverts designed to make people buy things. We saw one of the 'lifelike' dolls that you can 'do' things with and I went eughhhh - he has quickly caught on, does it for this ad and all the others offering equally plastic toys! (he does have plenty of toys I hasten to add, but we do try to get him ones where he can use some imagination or build things etc)

Ahh Nomore, dd has one of those ponies (in pink obviously) already. Its called 'Cinderella Princess Pony' and we have to refer to it as such or face her wrath. Its sounding like she's really spoiled, she's not, its just that fluffy and pink are her thing.

We also try to get educational, we have speaking clocks, finger puppet spelling trains and giant maths calculators, but as they get older and see the adverts it becomes more difficult to merge what they really want with what you consider educational. And, no matter how much it cost, we have learnt that if they don't think it is fun, educational or not it will sit sad and unused in a cupboard.

haha! At least a big toy horse like that will give her lots of opportunities for imaginative/creative play
Must go and check out nickelodeon - is it Kipper as in the Mick Inkpen books?

www.littlenuttreetoys.co.uk Just found this site by accident. Wow!!! Could spend a fortune. And as for the fluffy pony - look on the last page of the 'wooden toys section !!!!!!!!!

Still done very little actual Christmas shopping, although Fair Trade sale locally helped, and also went to a Jewelry party (although spent most on something for me )

Lets hear some more names then...

Bug and Uggs Gilly

MT - Have you succombed to the fantasy shopping bug

Ok... feeling more chipper - I am such a glutton for punishment, me! so... I am ready to talk names now

Love Martha and Verity but especially love Hannah... that is now on our list since one of our favourite names has been used by a close friend - we went back to the drawing board, and DH has always liked Hannah

Have to say I don't really like Courtney, sorry, or Tayla either. Oh, and Tallulah just makes me think of Bugsy Malone

Do like Willow

That American website had me in stiches - some of them are not even words, let alone names

How are you all?

mistlethrush · 29/11/2007 08:31

Yes, I like fantasy shopping. And its so much more pleasant that reality shopping at this time of year. Even got dh interested in that site - he's gone for the pirate ship. Nomore - how old is dgods - I'm sure I could find something off that site that would be appropriate quite soon!

Willow - can't quite persuade myself on that one on two counts - I know a dog called Willow, and I also also think of a T shirt design that a friend's partner (now ex) did - was a fantastic design... The caption was 'the smack of leather on willow' (which sounds like a cricket quote, in case you were wondering), the picture was of Willow from the Buffy series... ()

Saw a tiny bit of film inc really young baby (ie the ones where they don't even lie straightish on your shoulder - sort of go in a lump) and nearly said out loud 'I want one' last night!

scorpio1 · 29/11/2007 09:36

Well we are calling the baby Millie whilst she is in there....but sorry Ready i think her RL name is Tayla....it suits me if you knew me in RL and fits the other children's names. We are thinking Tayla Millie C.... or Tayla Millie Chloe C.....

mistlethrush · 29/11/2007 09:49

I like Millie - it reminds me of the Millie Molly Mandy books that I read when small - lovely books, nice illustrations...

kensgirl · 29/11/2007 16:51

Ohhhh, Christmas shopping, they are scary words . My legs on't seem to have ny juice in them at the moment, so I think it could be internet shopping all the way!

I like most of the names, too. I like Martha but it doesn't go with our surname, so we are currently on Hannah, Anna, Imogen, Ava, Isabel, Emilia.

no joy for names for a boy, any inspiration anyone?

dh is away London next week so it loks like loys of sleeptime for me, although I will miss him really .

scorpio1 · 29/11/2007 20:45

If i had a boy this time he would be Dexter William.

Boys i know:

Oakley
Logan
Mason
Brodie
Austen
Joshua
Arlo
Jack
Harry
Jude

I like all the girls names listed, although i want a bit more of a less common name for this baby, same as DS1 (Reilly).

I have nearly finished xmas shopping, had to to get the specific toys the boys wanted. Plus i would stress too much! We are going to butlins just before xmas so i won't have time anyway.

I read an interesting little article in Style, supplement for The Sunday Times, this morning - about a woman who had a molar pregnancy. Just thought I would let you know, in case you weren't sure what paper to get today - get The Sunday Times for that reason

Ready · 02/12/2007 12:41

That's the royal you But obviously especially relevant to certain peeps

mistlethrush · 03/12/2007 10:35

Ready - missed that (didn't get onto system over the w/e - too busy walking dog in rain and playing trains with ds) - anything interesting in the article?

Have had -ve test, so now confident that all OK. Still going to wait until after Christmas though - it would be nice to get properly well before starting ttc again - part of me is wondering whether it was because I was coughing so much and so under the weather that it didn't work this time (then the more logical part of me says that this isn't the case and it just wasn't meant to be this time).

We've started opening the Advent calendar at home. Not sure that ds really has worked out about Christmas yet - I'm sure that next year will be different. He is insisting on singing (well, OK, droning) 'Little Donkey' quite a bit - although those are the only words he knows unless you sing it with him - and he does know some of the words to 'Away in a Manger' - and he does recognise Father Christmas. He liked looking at the advent candle being lit in church yesterday.

mistlethrush · 03/12/2007 10:37

BTW, I like Sophie and Emily as girls names, and both would go well with surname. Unfortunately, won't be able to use either as Bil most inconsiderate and beat us to producing children and has used both...
