    I've got some. I like to pretend they're blonde :)

    Anyway, I'm getting off the internet now before I get away from myself and say something that is not fluffy. Goodnight everyone.
    Night SS, hope everything is OK? :undecided

    Ha Em, I was going to ask you if you were broody when you mentioned cooing over tiny pink gloves on someones facebook!!

    I think, as a parent you're always going to worry about coping and raising them to be good all round contributing members of society... But if everyone waited for "the right time" then nobody would be having children... I'm very scared about coping with a newborn sleepless nights and a very energetic toddler... But I know I'll cope, and I know we'll get through it... Because it's what you do... You have a challenge, you get through it all together as a family and move on to the next thing... And if you weren't worried about it, then you'd be a wierdo ;)

    Em - that making the decision to TTC is a wonderful but bl00dy scarey thing. After we decided to try for no 2, I then purposefully avoided DTD for a good few months because I was so scarred. But the minute I suspected I was pregnant I was ecstatic!

    Is that about right.?

    We DTD about a week ago, so what I've said is this month we'll carry on but if nothing happens we wont next month and we will leave it til the next, just to give me another month to get used to the idea :o

    Thats what happened when I found out I was PG with S, up until then I'd always said I wasnt really bothered about ever having children. I think I'm just not a particularly broody person!

    Speaking of hair dye, do you think I'm too old and responsible for fire engine red hair? I'd like to do something that frivolous but can't help wondering if 31 and someone's mum is too grown up for something like that.

    DO IT DO IT!

    Although I would also say it depends on your skin tone... if your fairly pale, fire engine red can end up looking like plastic hair..
    I'm horrifically pale (am a secret blonde), so i've gone red, but my hair takes colour so deeply its gone a very crimson shade.... bit of gunk in it and its gna look hot to trot..... had a fiddle about with my hair after the hairdryer abuse from yesterday... now looks normal....

    Em corkys sounds yummy!!! but ewww to diet coke lol!

    I think making the decision would be a hard one but hey have fun trying :) Do you think its the feeling of going back to square one again ie night feeds etc etc when your just getting over it all. I must admit i was terrified evey time i fell pregnant but they are all definatly worth it!!!

    SS u ok x

    SS, hope you're ok.

    Just been startled by the hugest spider. I'm not scared of them, but I looked down and it was stood on the sofa right next to me. Had to get OH to move it though in case it jumped on me when Sophie was eating.
