    :rotfl:Lol, OMG - of course. Haha, the days of loving Hanson - i was there once upon a time, hehe! How are they these days :p ?

    I love all the names i have seen on here, the birth list is full of lovely names, I like Elliot and Thomas - both proper names which i love! I love alot of the old fashioned names. If ours was a girl our choices were Isobelle (DD's fave) or Madeline.

    :) Madeline is a good old Hanson name too lol :)

    They are fab thanks (like I know them lol) they have another new album coming out in the spring, it will be their 5th studio album but their 10th actual album release

    I could honestly go on

    I love them :)

  • Yeah i was the same - i decided to work until the week before DD was due. And then she came three days early so i only had 4 days to myself. I was sooooo bored even then i remember bleach cleaning every crevice in the flat.

    But saying that i haven't worked for 18months now as decided to be a stay at home mum. It's much different now and i LOVE my 2 days a week off when DD is at nursery ;) I miss her when she is there though and often wish she was home! I'm glad when she starts school in sept i'll have new bubs to look after or i don't know what i'd do with myself.

    I keep being desperate to get back to work but OH keeps reminding me once i go back i'll miss spending all this time with DD. He is right! And works blimmin hard to allow me to stay home so i can't moan too much!

    We're trying to work out how much OH can reduce his hours at work so i have someone with me once the baby is born.

    I'll prob forget about him by then as i'll have a brand new baby to be best friends with :rotfl::p

    I dont know how to cross stich. But i did see a cheapy childrens cross stich set y'day, so i'll buy that so i can learn how to do it :D:p

    I would bleach clean this house, but im to cold to leave the comfort of the living room!
    When the cotbed comes in Jan i will be fine as i will be able to sort and arrange the nursery around that :D
  • Scrapbooking is fun - but prob more fun once bubs comes and you can start a 'life story'. I have a scrapbook with loads of pics of me and OH though. Ebaying too, selling loads of stuff and making it all end so you only need to go post office once or twice a week! Erm baking??? I always said i would but never did, lol! Oh Sims on the PC used to be my vice, lol - i'd play it for hours!

    My boobs are really sore - underneath is really painful. Anyone had this or know why maybe? I haven't been measured yet and am wearing my old underwired bras from just after i had DD - maybe it's the wire. Ouch - it's really painful :( And i had to take out my nipple peircing a few weekss ago too which has already closed so i'm a bit upset.

  • It's a bit late in the year (but maybe not for you if you haven't even got the pressies yet, lol) but last year i handmade all of the Christmas cards we gave out. You could try this - they don't have to be too fancy either! Some stick ons, cut out shapes, beads/sequins, or glue and glitter with stencils - anything like this

    Everyone was impressed and chuffed by my efforts. Lol OH's family now know i am the arty type which they always though he was, hehe. Takes alot of time but great to see when done!
