Not necessarily to eat but I always long for the smell of Wrights Coal tar soap when pg, and Cif cleaning stuff.

Oh yes and palmolive soap >

Or is it just me?

thanks lulu we are very excited, not till August, am a bit anxious too, never been that before, just been a while coming this time and had early loss this time last year.

Oh that reminds me, with the last one I even sprinkled said soap over the heater in my car so when I switched it on, it would smell.

LIME Shower Gel. I loved it. Not this pergnancy though.

mistletoe what did you do with that? sniff it? Please don't say you nibbled it?

lime was probably a nice refreshing smell actually wasn't it?

Mine is always the same.

Sniffing the stationery cupboard at work and my cupboard under the stairs at home. (Would find excuses to go rummaging in there!)

I remember driving along one cold day and having a very strong urge to get out of the car and lick the icy pavement! It looked so refreshing!!

My main craving was sherbet though - tubes and tubes of the stuff. I used to clear them out in Morrisons! I guess that's food though...

TotallyAndUtterlyPaninied · 23/12/2009 20:49

I'm craving Turps, tar, coal, creosote and glass. The actual crunch of glass! Haven't tried any of these things yet but nearly wet my knicks when DH decorated and had to use turps to clean the brushes. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... turps....

I'm really wanting to lick lime green metallic cars. They have to be a certain shade though.

Cif cleaning stuff I used it so much I got a rash all over my hands .

Nail varnish all the time. Clear nail varnish put in the fridge left to cool then painted on my nails until it was dry then peeled off. As soon as I had my babies the smell of it would make me sick.

I also liked the smell of vicks and had to stop myself tasting it.
