    I will, but he's not quite as attractive as Sean Connery who has to be one of the sexiest men on the planet. ;)

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Sat DS on his changing table getting him dressed and said 'shall we go and see XXXX today?' (my cousin whos 9 and lost her mum, my 1st cousin, last year when DS was 3 months old) and plain as day he said her mothers name!!! So I repeated question and he said XXXX, again repeated and he said XXXX again!!! What do you make of that?

    He will have heard the name and know that she meant a lot to everyone so is maybe just curious about meeting her.. but.. when DS1 was about 2 we went to MIL's.. completely out of the blue DS said.. 'My grandad worked with aeroplanes, he had a brown car and he wore tights to work and a hat. The car had a stripe on it. Now he is sitting on a cloud because he isn't alive any more'

    FIL died when hubby was 5.. 12 years before DS1 was even born!! He is rarely spoken about.. ever!! He was in the RAF and wore tights when they went on parade as they were in Germany and it was freezing. He died in the brown car with the stripe.

    THAT'S spooky!!

    Another time he described my sister who had died as an infant before I was born and said she was living in heaven with grandad Jim who died when my dad was 11!! and they are happy.

    LOL.. soappie.. glad it isn't just me.. I was trying to count out his change.. (£2.20) I couldn't even recognise the coins!!...

    I said 'now I can't count' and started laughing.. I said 'It's stopped raining now! And you know exactly where my mind is right now..'
    He started laughing and said 'hey, I'm a bricky'
    By this point I was helpless.. 'well, maybe I should do the girly thing and just blush!?'
    He said '.. & I'm saying nothing about the state of your mind'
    My reply 'Well, I know the state of my mind and I am QUITE happy with it!!'
    Flicked him a wink and skipped giggling up the path..

    Oh I am SO looking forward to going there again in a fortnight.. I might skip their house and just do next door!! lol
