    As for the woman with twins, that is clearly child abuse! being fed on takeaways and rubbish every single day is putting their lives in danger! yes my kids eat take away but maybe once a fortnight never in a million years every day! and veggies once a week is awful. cant believe people can get away with this sort of thing. thyroid problem my ar*e more like take away problem!

    Do people still have god parents and what is the usual way of going about it? I have no idea!

    Uusally only if baby is going to be christened or have a naming ceremony I think. A lot of people don't bother.

    We had our two baptised at the same time - as they are only 13 months apart they were both still babies at the time. We had 2 men and a woman for the boy and 2 women and a man for the girl. We chose people we were close to who had a similar life ethos and moral code to ourselves, but we didn't specifically require them to be church goers or believers. 1 of our first choices turned us down though because he wasn't a believer and didn't want the "god" part of "godparent" though was happy to be a close family friend to the baby. Everyone else was very pleased to be asked when reassured that they were not required to alter any of their beliefs to do the job, just continue to be the kind of good role models we thought they would be for our children!

    My travel cot has arrived! Yay! I put it up in the lounge to air it as it's off eBay and my cat has already tried it out but decided it's not for her, thankfully.

    They're triplets darling ;) I appreciate that having 3 must be hard work but I wholeheartedly agree with you - she doesn't have a thyroid problem - she has a takeaway problem!
    What you have to wonder is how is she paying for that much rubbish food??? Seriously? Takeaway is a treat round here (well used to be when I wasn't pregnant :rotfl: slightly more junk food since falling pregnant... oooops!) because it's not cheap!

    God parents - Roo is being christened although we don't believe... The only reason is really that should anything happen then unless Roo is christened she wouldn't be allowed to be buried or married in the village church...
    ANYWAY - At the moment Roo is going to have 2 Godparents although that might become 3 ;) If my mate is back from Afghanistan in time then she'll have 3 :D

    On Hollyoaks the other day they had 'guide parents' rather than godparents. I am Jewish but I like the idea of Beanie having someone else special in her life she can turn to.

    I was brought up Catholic & the fashion (at least then) was to have 1 godfather & 1 godmother & that's what I have.
    Different subject - who's had itchy skin, esp lower legs & does it mean anything I ought to see MW about? Not that I'm seeking medical advice MrsT :) ! just different experiences. I could go over my legs with a cheese grater & it's driving me dippy! Had similar problem years ago, but over whole body, & blood tests showed nothing, dr thinks it was just supersensitive skin, poss connected with hayfever & family history of related allergies. Any ideas?
