See, that makes me love Capn Jack even more!  Brilliant pirate! 

See, now I've just realised the importance of a bit of punctuation now and then.  When I wrote 'Brilliant pirate' I wasn't referring to Capn Jack, although he is one. What I meant it was a brilliant post, pirate! 

Nantwich glamour girl is pregnant

CONGRATS! Sophie Reade is expecting

By Sean Dyer

LOCAL celebrity and former Big Brother winner Sophie Reade has announced that she is pregnant.

The glamour model from Nantwich tweeted the news on her Twitter account on Monday with a picture of her babyscan with the caption: ‘BABY READE<3’.

The former Mabank pupil won the tenth series of the popular reality show Big Brother in 2009 with 74.4% of the final vote.

During her time in the house, she changed her name by deed poll to Dogface in order to become a housemate.

Since then, she once dated volatile footballer Mario Balotelli and continues a successful glamour modelling career.

The Dabber congratulates her on her pregnancy and wishes her well.

she tweeted that she is having a boy

I know it's a little early for lunch but I'm up way earlier than normal and skipped breakfast.  Anyway....I bought a freshly baked bloomer in M&S this morning and just had a slice of it with their reduced fat egg mayo mix.  Mmmmm it was so good I''ve just had another.  I am currently chiding myself for considering a third.

It has just reminded why I never buy fresh baked products.  They're too nice.

That sounds nice ........I'm off to Marks later - I will endeavour to keep away from the bakery section.

I stayed the same weight AGAIN!!! at my weigh in yesterday - these last four pounds just aint happening

Scan bran Sooz?  Might help a little.  It's rotten though.  

Are you on green/red days or extra easy?  Sometimes switching to the other plan can shift it.

This really made me laugh.

I kind of do my own thing .............it's based on red - I've never got my head around extra easy - I don't have too many sins though so I'm guessing it is sort of extra easy - you're right though I'm gonna have a flick through my books - might do some minor changes and make it a bit more 'structured' instead of relying on instinct. Tried scan bran - hmmmmmmmmm - nuff said.

Will try to get a few more jogging sessions in om my treadmill.

Handome couple Fusiconbilites. I hope thats not bad news for you. I've had enough today. 

Who is it EC?

Very handsome couple Ec

Like your new colourful avvie.

Mr C & I popped in to Morrisons at Cowgate today as we were passing to get some forgotten bits, and I swear to god there's some friggin right stinkers in there. Every time we go in we spend most of the shopping trip like this.

At one point Mr C asked me to go and look for some soap, I said "they obviously don't sell any such thing in here".  Good god a good wash and a run through the washing machine would be a god send. 

There are some real stinkers out there Cinds.  It's worse when you have to actually sit with them in the dentist or something because you can't get up and leave (unless you want to miss your appointment).  Do they not realise how bad they smell??

Lol my 11 year has just said to us 'you two go out for a drink or something I'll look after Jamie'  to which Jamie (6) replies 'I like the way you roll bro'.

Where do they get these expressions from?  

Ells, tell me about it.  Mr C was at court last week and this trio came in and kind of surrounded me, I was gagging from the stench of them.  And obviously they were dressed in their finest sweat pants and one of them had a damp patch running down the position of his arse crack. He stank PLUS he had a sweaty arse. Eeww eewww eewww

Who knows where they get them from, Ells, but they are funny.

I wish I hadn't read the posts about the stinkers.

I remember Master C (a couple of years ago) saying to me 'come at me bro'.  He doesn't say anything like that now because he knows it just encourages me.  Like this morning when I replied to a text he sent me with'k me bludz'  his response '......oh dear'

I know it's disgusting but ^^^^^ that did make me chuckle Not the situation, Cinds, but your wording

San it was awful, I swear to god if he'd bent over I bet there would have been a proper butt stink situation. (BTW Mr C was laughing his head off when I was telling him about it)

Have any of you seen or used these on your babies?

Snuggle Pods.

I've just bought one each for my two expectant grandchildren, and they just look some snug and comfy, I might want one for myself. 

Aww Cinds that would have been PERFECT for my youngest when he was little and scratched the bejesus out of himself every night because of his eczema.  It looks as though it would give the baby a sense of being held which is what the little (gorgeous) sods usually want!

Yeah that's what they're supposed to do Ells.  Kind of make them feel secure like when they are still in the womb.

 Love it!

Am I turning in to an old fuddy duddy?  Or am I not alone in finding this highly inappropriate? 

Not as bad as these Cinds:

Who looks at these and thinks "that's appropriate for a baby!"

 You are not alone.

 Saz, who on earth would put their baby in those things?!

Crikey, I can't believe people buy those things. 

It's worse than little girls in 'Playboy' gear.  I hate it.

So do I, Cinds, it's tacky, imo.

Not just tacky.  It's porn, and has no place in any little girls life.

It's like baby fashion's going in reverse - when my friends' kids were babies it was done to wrap them up tightly in a shawl when they went to sleep, but when their babies came along the fashion was not to 'swaddle' them - not it's back to wrapping them up.  

Sort of 'on topic' - my mate's wife's expecting and they have some 'sleep sacks' for the baby - only he can never remember what they're called and keeps referring to them as 'grow bags'   

Horrible, both of them

I think they do call them grow bags.  I know what you mean about fashion and stuff like that, and how things change from generation to generation.  Remember when they used to recommend expectant mothers to eat liver or drink Guinness for iron 

Totally changing the subject, which is allowed.

I think I'll give this cook book a miss.

do they?  Oh I'll not tell him that - he'll think he's clever!    I just keep telling him it's a baby not a tomato plant.

On the baby fashion thing - the latest young 'un I know to have a baby was told not to bath him every day. 

My kids were swaddled and wrapped up to within an inch of their lives. They were like baby beetroots - I slept them on their tummies too. God knows how they survived

My daughter blames me for the fact that she's nec=ver warm - even on the sunniest days.
