  • I remember being told at primary school Freddie Mercury had died but I remember talking to the builder than was working on my parents house when I was about 4.5 yrs old asking him what he was doing - nosy little bu99er even then!

    Man bits are called dinkles here and we're not sure about lady bits yet but Charlie did make us laugh the other day when he said Charlie's dinkle, then pointed to Reece's as they were going in the bath. I thought whilst I'm here I'll have a tiddle and Charlie piped up "mummy's dinkles gone!! We couldn't stop laughing! DH and I refer to mine bits as minky but don't really want the boys to pick that one up but as a child it was called mary in our house - as in leave your mary alone etc lol! But not really suitable now (MIL's name!)

    I've lost 6lbs in weight over the last two weeks but its been a real struggle! Dr has referred me for some blood tests to check for under active thyroid, so that'll be fine as I've got to take the boys with me

    I'm soooo bored. Dh has taken over the lappy, and there's only rubbish on tv.

    Ss, lol enjoy ur mcd's. We were naughty and had pizza for lunch (new one opened down the road, so major cheap promo offers to be had) so it's fend-for-yourself dinner. Is mcd's different in germany like it is in france? I can't remember!

    They need an ebay app for nokias :p

    Lol we used to have a beta max! And I remember the advert for the Scotch video tapes with the skeleton on the moon - re-record not fade away, re-record not fade away.......

    LOL I will be singing this all night.

    I remember having a tv with no remote and I was quite old before cd players were common. When I was 18 our family was terribly posh because we SHARED a mobile phone!

    I think McDs have regional specialities. There are a lot of weird things on the mcmenu here including a chicken rucola burger that looks appalling. Molly has a french fry with the salt wiped off and ketchup with periperi and lime and she is also loving it :rotfl:

    Husband has retired to bed again clutching his stomach; I am now feeling uncomfortable distended about the belly. Perhaps all that food was a mistake ... but I definitely burned it off today!

    MFD I was 18 when I bought my first CD, and it was a Smashing Pumpkins single. My dad had a mobile phone that was the size of two bricks taped together :rotfl:

    Oooohhh McDonalds. I have veggie stir fry for later.

    Claire, did you juts ask your GP to test you for it? My friend has an under active thyroid and she mentioned that my neck is a bit swollen, plus the lack of energy and weight gain, I'm thinking of asking for blood tests to be done. But some of the GP's here can be a bit arsey if you ask for a test.

    evening all!

    I've just spent a lovely ten minutes reading about your earliest memories! Awwwww :D I don't know this Lennon you speak of ;-) as I am far too young to have heard of him :D

    We have tried everything to get Annabel to start sleeping better and have finally gone back to see if CC will help. Its controversial, but we are at the end of our tether. DH is out tonight so its me on my own - wanna help me get through it anyone??? We've just started and done 3 mins then a check. :(

    could be a long night......but then so was last night with her awake all night in my bed, DH ont eh couch as my parents in the spare room......

    Kindof - poor gran xx on the car seat front the combi seats your looking at are ok but for small babes I wouldn't wanna do a long journey! Also as gisi already mentioned not only do they need to be 20lb but able to sit unaided for 20/30 min usualy that's around 9ish months.

    Ah right, so if he reaches 20lbs before he is 9 months which he totally will, then not to get a all group one, but I can get him a one thats up to 4 years?

    Ok guys lol recommendations for car seats for up to 4 years please lol

    (((hugs))) rmac, sorry I cant help with the CC
