    I don't know Tete... I didn't even know that Judy Blume wrote anything 'Grown Up', but I did avoid her from an early age!

    People don't believe me when I say I remember buying petrol at 79p!!!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Thanks everyone :D am now 24 weeks and would like to say I'm feeling great but that would be a lie! I am so tired all the time, think I am going to ask the midwife to check my iron levels as I cant remember ever feeling this tired before!

    Cinny - OH doesnt like the name Ralph :( I thought it was quite sweet, but it was a complete no from him, not even a maybe!

    Please dont depress me with all the talk of petrol prices!

    The only Judy Blume books I can remember is 'Are you there God, It's me Margaret' and 'Blubber'. I don't remember a grown up one!!! Which one is it Tete?

    Flower - I would get your iron levels checked out. You shouldn't be feeling so tired at 24 weeks. That usually comes later. I am 26 weeks and feel fine - well a bit tired running after a 15 month old but not any more tired than I should be. Hope you get some energy back soon :)

    I agree get your iron levels checked Flower as you shouldn't be feeling tired at this stage.

    My tooth has started hurting less but all afternoon I have felt sick/dizzy all afternoon. Good job Poppy is being good as OH isn't back till after 3 am.

    Right, curiosity lead me to googling and wikipedia chucked this up
    "Throughout the book, Michael consistently refers to his fireman as "Ralph", and the subsequent generation who grew up reading Forever seemed unwilling to consider it as a suitable name for their children."

    The italic is my censoring! :D And you're not that bleddy old Tete, it would just appear you read odd books! But now I have that slight image in my head of anyone calling any of their private-time parts Ralph puts me off the name a little :rotfl:

    Could you imagine just how mental everyone would go if petrol suddenly dropped to 79p?! I'd be wishing I had saved my 6p token :cool:

    There was something in the papers a couple of months ago about a mistake that Asda made at one of their unmanned petrol stations.
    One of the workers went over to the petrol station to update the prices and typed it into the computer wrong. Instead of putting 129.9p he put 12.9p.
    Police were sent to investigate why there were queues of 50+ cars at the petrol station at 3am :rotfl: people were filling their cars and anything else they could store petrol in.
    I wish something like that would happen here :p
