Exactly the sort of task my online big brother SHOULD volunteer for.

Good for you.

24wk scan yesterday PM and consultant appointment this morning. Everything going and growing to plan and I was very impressed by the consultant. I didn't go to the scan but OH reckons sonographer this time was outstanding. I always feel like the NHS is a bit of a lottery so very pleased it seems to be working well.

That's brilliant news, chewie. Very best wishes to the four of you

Yes there is an English version of your name - although it's v old fashioned and nobody uses it any more. I can think of a character in a book called it, though. Just take the e off the end of your name and replace it with an a, and then say the name with the vowel in the second syllable pronounced long.

Oh dear. that will play on my mind all day now :rotfl: though trying to work out what it might be will help pass the time while I'm waiting (and waiting, and waiting....) to see the GP this morning

My car was called Cl!mence*, and I really like it as name, more than Clemency or Clementine. Giving your child a French name when there's an English equivalent might be construed as a bit pretentious though I suppose. Like calling your daughter Amelie rather than Amelia. Need to find a French girl.


*It's annoying that the acute accent doesn't work. I refuse to type it out without it though

Reminds me of Georgian name 'Elene', which is something like Helen (English) or Elena (Russian)

Noone I know yet has been able to pronounce it properly outside of Russia/Georgia.

Same for Ekaterine, Mariam (which is pronounced mar-yam) and several more

Opinions please??

It's a good tap. We have an almost identical Grohe tap and very pleased with it.

No, water flow and temperature control is very good, actually.

OK, I've ordered that tap.

Well done, you won't be disappointed.

Fingers crossed it's edible...

When I was pregnant my naming skills went hay-wire, luckily for the boys after their birth I regained some sense.
