32 weeks pregnant and for the last few weeks i have had the wierd thing of rubbin my tounge on the roof of my mouth so my taste buds are tingling, thought this was bad enough as i pull a realy strange face whilst doing it. Anyway went in the shower earlier and had a massive urge to eat the sponge!!!!!!! so im sat on the sofa watching x factor whilst chewing on a bath sponge!!!!!!!!

I had a dream 2 nights ago that I was digging the ground making neat square patches to grow something in...then in the dream I started picking up the soil and eating it with massive handfulls and crunching it..Yuummmm!! Haven't actually done it in real life, but when i think of that dream, I want to crunch on soil.

I've started loving the smell of petrol. Whenever I go to fill up I stand there and take deep breaths. Today my DH was using a marker pen to label something and I could smell it so I took it off him and took a deep sniff..He took it off me and hid it - apparantly it's like a drug addiction.
