    Keep going Em - you'll find the one I like ;) I have had it so short I could JUST tie it back before, had a like one inch ponytail when I really tried..

    ETA: And like this pic once - that's the actual pic I took to the hairdressers, was the front cover of the Saturday magazine with the Daily Express, many moons ago!

    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!
