Life's too short for ironing!
My thoughts exactly :rotfl:
I know for a fact though that when we have kids i will probably be ironing like a mad woman and probably turn into OHs mum, making sure the kids (even though OH is now 24!!!) look immaculate all the time :rotfl:Biggest Loser Weight Loss: 13 / 20 lb0 -

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.
Irish names:
Girls: Roisin, Niamh, Ciara, Doireann, Caoimhe, Saoirse, Maeve
Boys: Ciaran, Cillian, Liam, Eoin, Padraig, Fionn, Oisin

I have my kiddlets names picked out, poor OH wouldn't have a look in
Boys names - Ralph and Jack
Girls names - Mei or Cassandra
I love the film Amelie - to the point where I can't speak a word of French but can happily watch it without subtitles as I know what's being said (roughly!:rolleyes:)
If you break it down like that, £15 pp/pn is very good indeed! Good luck in finding a hotel Tete. You could always book yourself a hotel for all the nights you're going bar one which you could spend in a posher hotel, or something along those lines. Ooooh, you could get the sex and the city room in the hotel Carrie 'stayed' in in Paris. I heard you get a free brolly! (makes it MSE that way you see)
Where on earth has Dinah been today?! Sheesh missus, leaving us high and dry here.
Have a nice night everyone, I'm off to watch people build a house.0 -
I've been in Sunderland! Exciting day out!
I adore Amelie too, fantastic film.
One of those names is NIMs in Irish!

We'll never know, it's a mystery!
I'd personally like to think he really is called Nim

Hi girls! What is wrong with me, I can't stay away too long even when I'm moving house!
Move is going OK, I took a couple of car loads of stuff round yesterday and we've pretty much got the kitchen sorted, it looks lovely! OH's brother was a star as he put up blinds, curtain rails etc and is coming back today to build the massive double wardrobe! We've got the van booked for 10 today and my brother's driving it for me- it'll be confusing today as both brothers have the same name! Right, that's me updated, now to you guys:
Cinny, that sounds like a great deal for your break in Kent! You'll have to take pictures of your future house (Chartwell!) to show us when you get back! Thanks for the link too, lovely lovely dress! I'd be scared to buy it though as I'm only ever size 8 at my skinniest (when I'm not allowed to eat carbs!) and the clothes are generously cut! Vintage clothes are generally a bit smaller than new aren't they?
Hi Coco! Nice to 'meet' you! Love the name Coco, always makes me think of Coco Chanel and glamour and the 'New Look'! I also love the name Amelie since we're on the subject. Don't think OH would be mad keen on it though. He's a good solid yorkshire lad with a good solid yorkshire surname to go with it and wants a good solid yorkshire kid, none of this namby pamby french name stuff! LOL!
Im very jealous of everyone going to Paris, I want to go! I haven't been in ages, since I was at college... 8 years ago! Oh my God! I'm having one of those moments when I realise I'm not as young as I thought! Love the ides of staying in 'Carrie's' Room! And if you get a free brolly then it's definitely worth it!
I'd like to think that NIM's really called Patrick! I love that name, and Paddy! I used to go to school with a boy named Paddy and I lurved him from afar, he was beautiful therefore in my little brain Paddy=Gorgeous!
CMD: I can figure out the pronunciations to most of those Irish names but I'm struggling with Caoimhe!
Right, that's all I can remember to mention now, I don't like getting behind!
I'm off to see if I can find a quick DOTD before OH wakes up and tells me off!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -
Yes, get a dress of the day!
Happy to see moving in is going well. I bet you can't wait for it all to be sorted and settled in, You'll be able to watch Larkrise on sunday in complete domestic bliss (if you watch Larkrise to Candleford anywho)
Paddy just reminds me the guy from Shameless, and Paddy McGuinness, Yuk!
Just looked on that hotel website (Plaza Athenee) and you don't get a brolly anymore, you get a chocolate shoe!
OH isn't keen on the name Amelie either, it was a push to get Ralph!0
