    quite a few years ago DH and I got tipsy on Valentine's Day and started naming our future children. Since then I've been keeping a list (I can't help it, I'm a [STRIKE]scientist[/STRIKE] crazy person)
    My list as it stands is:

    Alistair
    Benjamin
    Charles (Charlie)
    Edward
    Joseph
    Malcolm
    Oliver (Ollie)
    Phillip
    Ralph
    Rory
    Stephen

    Briony
    Cara
    Charlotte (Charley)
    Chloe
    Daisy
    Eleanor
    Elizabeth (Lizzie)
    Emilia
    Evelyn (Evie)
    Freya
    Georgiana/Georgia (Georgie)
    Imogen
    Heidi
    Olivia
    Rosalind (Rosie)

    should give DH enough choice for something we can agree on :rotfl:
    I've had to remove most of my fav girls names as they all begin with P, and it sounds horrendous with our surname (think Branston :eek:)
    Little monkey born November 2012:j
    Froglet due March 2016 :D

    Hubby was over the moon when we decided to TTC as that obviously meant we'd need to do the deed a lot more often than what we had been doing. I did initially suggest a turkey baster but I don't think he was impressed :D

    Glad it's not just me with the complex:o For us, whenever we cba'd:ogenerally I'm like a dog on heat around OV time so pretty much every night for about 5 days, then after that try and get 1 in once a week but we tend to pass out, oh and 5 days are out due to AF ...so probs about 7 times a month if we're REALLY lucky;):D Doesn't sound like much in black and white:o but I've not had any complaints...oh and we have DHs CFS to contend with so can vary but if there's not enough we usually get at it in a half awake state aka sleep sex:eek::D The risk of both of us sleeping in the nuddy I guess :o

    I'm thinking that when we start TTC we'll *try* to do the deed every other day but it's going to be tough, we manage about once a week at the moment! He works till late, I start work early, we just can't get the energy during the week!

    That cow story's funny Rebekah! I remember going for a walk near my parent's one day and a fence hadn't been properly fastened so all of the sheep has escaped and decided to decamp to the garden of a very posh house, the lady who lived there was going mental! :rotfl:

    Good list of names there LittleMoog, I love Freya but it's another 'made up name' according to OH! He is useless!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Lily - what snacks do you have? And why do we have to reduce cheese intake? I love my cheese!

    My organic is my own home made veg from the garden :-D

    I think maybe the nurse suggested that to me because I was worried about my weight. She said I should cut down on animal fats, I guess cheese specifically to me as I don't eat meat. I do eat a lot of cheese. :o I love it!

    Erm... :o Actual intercourse, a few times a month I guess. I suppose I'm going to have to step that up a gear! Sometimes if we have done something else, I don't want to go on to do that if you see what I mean as I am satisfied already! :o:o:o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    LittleMoog-I love that they're in alphabetical order!! :rotfl:
    I reckon we average doing the deed about twice a week-if I'm feeling kind to my DH, he might get it a bit more! But when it comes to TTC, I'll be aiming for every other day-DH won't believe his luck..until he thinks about the consequences :rotfl:!
