    Actually while i'm on a name stealing mission, some possible names i like
    Molly
    Holly
    Leila (but not sure this would suit a potentially blonde/fair kid)
    Keira :p

    I do venture further than MSE when looking for name ideas, honest :rotfl:

    If you are just collecting MSE girl names then my DD is Carmen. Original but not too wacky :rotfl:

    beeny - I'm not really planning on having any more (you can happily quote this back to me when you see me on the pg thread in later years!) but if I did I have an idea of names - I'm just stealing the ones 3onitsway has already used!!!

    elle - I had long hair at my wedding and then chopped it all off. My hair is thick and healthy - but definitly healthier when shorter. I now have a slightly longer than chin length bob, but off to the hairdressers this afternoon. I'm hoping that she'll not cut too much off but sharpen it up a little.

    (you can see how it is on my FB photos if you are that way inclined! - but I do have poker straight hair that won't curl regardless of what I do to it!)

    Thanks r.mac... *wanders off to FB* :D

    My hair is slowly getting the message that it should be straight not curly.. :cool: I was hoping for one of those complete changes in texture(?) while pregnant but it didn't happen! (maybe it's a last nine weeks thing :rolleyes: :p)

    morning all!!

    Kian was awake at 7.45 so thought f e c k it, i'll get up have early breakfast, shower and do his bottles so i'm not rushing round all day.

    names- is it bad that i have already chosen a name if we have another baby (well if its a girl that is). we realised on sat that all 3 of us have short first names- alll 4 letters, so that go me thinking that i really like that so have picked 2 girls names but not a boys one yet....better not tell DH this bit. although he is keen to have another child.

    hi chopsticks!!

    speaking oif surveys... we're getting a babys bottle to try next week. only prob is they are only 4oz which means a bit of faffing around but i do get £10 at the end of it!! (i could always make up answers i suppose and not use it, but i hate doing that)

    oh and... went to watch my perfectly legal ;) 'my sisters keeper' last night and it wasnt the one i wanted!! so had to watch another film instead! am getting another perfecty legal one ;) in a few hours

    kian waking up so i need to check up on him

    Hi all, i'm just going to jump right in and interrupt whilst I have 5 minutes.

    Thanks for the message on FB Krystal and thanks to those who missed me (and if you didnt then why not?!!) (:rotfl::rotfl: you made me snort my morning cup of tea when i read this!! )

    I am sooooo tired at the moment too. We have started properly weaning this week and Leila is having 2 meals a day. This means getting up an extra 30 mins early in the morning and 6:30am starts dont agree with me.

    In work news, I was made head of department last week so my ranting and raving got to my employers in the end! I have secured an £8000 pay rise so things are looking up a little!
    this is prob too late now but yay payrise, yay eating and yay you're back :T
    I am soooo good. Santa will definatley be giving me a Crimbo present this year!!

    I pooed myself giving birth, they even wiped my bum and not very well either I hasten to add!

    I added every other body fluid to that room, bit of poo was required y'know?
    me too :o at every push :eek: she got sick of changing the mats and said "do you mind if i leave it between pushes, my supply is running low now" :eek::eek::eek::eek: i hadnt pooped for over a week at that point!!!
    Oh yes and Em, how dare you overtake me on Cafe World when I was absent from the internet. Overstuffed peppa anyone? Imma beat chew!

    You could find something from home maybe? I work from home, so i'm here as often as possible for my girls. Plenty of opportunities, just make sure it's not a con job or you have to lay out money first.

    My plan for the first few months is to list the ton of [STRIKE]crap[/STRIKE] lovely unused stuff in this house/loft on ebay. I plan to leave the earnings in my paypal to pay for next Christmas.

    I've also considered setting up an ironing business - because i'm a bit strange and quite like ironing, and i'm very good at it! :D

    Maybe studying to have a proper career?:confused:

    The world is my lobster! :rotfl:

    Edit - we didn't tell anyone the names we were thinking of because I didn't want anybody to pull a face and put me off! Nobody ever pulls a face once the baby is actually called that IYSWIM!!
    I wanted to call Benjamin Spike LOL

    You haven't met my Nana! Well, no, she doens't pull a face, she says outloud "I don't like V - it reminds me of (insert some distant elderly relative/friend) who was a tart!"
    Maybe she's upset I didn't name V after her - Doris! :eek:

    I must have shared this before, but scene taken from the arrival of fergus:

    Weezl (just at beginning of pushing stage, on all fours, in a whiny childish sobbing kinda way...): Some of my poo came out!
    MW: (reassuringly) Don't worry it's fine very normal, not a problem...
    Weezl: (More whiny now) But it landed on my foot!

    I guess Joseph is too obvious for this time of year

    Joseph is my favorite boys name! :D
    When I had him it was the only boys name I really liked, and still is.
    So when V was on the way, I gave OH the responsibility of picking a boys name as I didn't like any others - he was very original and picked Robert, same as him!
    It did cross my mind 'would it be bad to have another Joseph? Is there any law that says your children have to have diffferent names? :rotfl:

    but if I did I have an idea of names - I'm just stealing the ones 3onitsway has already used!!!
    All three of them? You are going to be busy! :rotfl:
