Strange pregnancy predilections

Towards the end of my pregnancy and I can't get enough of;

Brushing my teeth with really frothy toothpaste, right into the gums
Stiff soapy sponges
Dr Beckmans Carpet Cleaner with the brush attachment and foam
Sponge mops with citrusy Zoflora

Please note I am generally about as far from Domestic Goddess status as you can get without being Waynetta Slob. But I'm actively hoping for carpet stains. Who am I?!

I had some strange carpet cravings in my last pregnancy and I couldn't get enough of shake and vac, I was hoovering about 5 times a day!

Well now I need some Shake n Vac!

Sweet bugger all. Due in two weeks and still no cravings or nesting in sight! Was actually looking forward to wanting to clean but nope, nothing there Confused

My mother on the other hand has cleaned her house 4 times this week!!! She lives 14 hour drive from us Grin

I couldn't get enough of deeply inhaling the smell of sponges!!!!

My favourites are washing the mop head in bleach and when it's damp giving it a good sniff, and Harpic toilet cleaner I love the smell also flash bathroom spray

@Timmytoo this is my third pregnancy but the first time I've craved anything other than wine gums or red apples!

@Irishgene I actually kinda want to eat the sponges. But I won't..

@gumdrop2 you are speaking my language Crown Grin

@MargotsBumpyNight Try the mop head thing it's so good I was so close to wanting to suck a mop strand EnvyGrin

@gumdrop2 I reckon with a casually draped jacket I could probably replace DH with a bleachy mop head Grin

@MargotsBumpyNight The way mine carries on you could be on to a winning idea there Grin
