MIL is outrageous, pointedly asked me if I ironed his work shirts for him, erm no I barely iron my own clothes, I'm not going to waste my life on someone else's. She went 'oh what do you do for him?' :rotfl: They are lucky I even speak to them, my dad was furious.

Hi Coco!
Gosh, your MIL sounds like fun - yikes!:rotfl: My OH's parents are just odd and a bit puritannical. The first time OH took me to see them, he mentioned that they were a bit religious. 3 hours later we pull up outside 'the Rectory'. A bit religious? His dad's only the bloody vicar!

I'm off to daydream about Paris - lucky girls Tete and Lara! I might do some daydreaming about weddings too... Just found out that OH's best mate is getting married in South Africa in January, which is amazing, but not very MSE! It's going to involve some serious saving:o

Cinny, your hotel sounds like a proper bargain! Fingers crossed for lovely weather to top it off x

We'll definitely try! It's weird, SA isn't really on my list of places I want to go, but as soon as OH mentioned spending a couple of weeks there and 'safari' I was sold! I'm slightly animal crazy...:j

Would love to go on safari! It would be brill. I am not a fan of package deals. Haven't done a package deal in about 7 years- I love going to random places and staying in smaller,boutique hotels.

I'm taking it that no-one else is a fan of the name Amelie!

I am! Love the film, love the name! One of my friends with a French wife has just had a baby called Amelie Alexandre and I think it's a gorgeous name!

:rotfl: snap. We just had OHs parents to stay for the weekend and i ironed 4 shirts for him for the weekend and told him he couldnt wear anything else!! Shes always telling him he looks scruffy. Oh well it doesnt bother him that much or i am sure he would iron them himself:rotfl:

I try not to buy anything that looks like it needs ironing! I just think when baby coco is big enough to have clothes that need ironing I will spend enough time doing it & like you say if he wants it ironing last I looked it was the only appliance in the house he knows how to use:rotfl:

That's a gorgeous name! It's funny I, like French names for a girl and Irish names for a boy (if I had a baby, which I don't!!!)

It's a great film too - Amelie!

Amelie - my daughter was thinking of called her baby that (if it is pink), but her OH is not as keen so it might be Amber. If it's blue she likes the name Rielly. She really wanted Irish names but finding it hard to find a girls name they both like. So if anyone has any thoughts I will pass them on but be quick she's going in for section on 10th march.
