cravings

am just sitting here drinking my luverly mars bar drink and wondering

"If any of you have any cravings?"

apart from the above mentioned drinks I am more than partial to me chicken fajitas, but that's it really. Last time round I quite fancied walnuts, but nothing mad. Just wondering if anyone really did fancy stuff like coal and gherkins and ice cream?

    When I was pregnant I craved milk, fruit and cheese.

    It certainly puzzled the childbirth group I was with as everyone else wanted wierd stuff at the most inconvenient of times (as I was having twins they expected me to be even more difficult - really confused them)

    Ive never been pregnant, but I get craving all the time for wierd stuff, like coal, firelighters, petrol, Pears soap (smells so goddam good!) Bath beads (those oil filled things from body shop - they look good too!) and occasionally really want to ingest creosote (that garden fence paint stuff). I think its the chemicals, and the soap and beads just look and smell tasty. I once had a business idea that all of these random things people get cravings for could be made for people to eat, eg jelly as a bath bead, some kind of squidgy fruit pastille type soap, etc etc, so people could eat them and not poison themselves! Not quite sure how to do petrol coal and firelighters tho!

    Bizzare!
