That book has been around so long, my kids loved it and they are now in their late 20s, 30s and 40s, I googled and see it was first published in 1983.

Oh wow I didn’t realise it was so old! Lovey book.
It is, I never tired of reading that one with them.
Not me but I’m getting increasingly broody, I may have to go and get the implant/coil, I feel relying on good old condoms is a dangerous game just nowCongratulations!! Hope it goes smoothly and is a breeze.
Anyone left in this thread who hasn't recently fell pregnant? At this rate we'll have Slingo popping up feeling sick and having to take a test.
It’s my go to holiday drink too
Never heard of Stanley! Mine seems to know I hate Meg & Mog books, so always wants them - the stories always just END. Never any resolution to whatever shenanigans they’ve got up to, they just stop midway and fly home. Winds me up. Used to love them as a kid so wonder if my mother was equally pissed off reading them
I LOVE the OG Slinky Malinki book, but we don’t have any of the doggo ones
Congratulations! Lovely news. Good luck on the health drive, I’m sure you can have a little treat once in a while.The book arrived and I gave it to him and he asked me if I was definitely pregnant then (the 2 tests say I am!) and he was like “bleeping hell”
I don’t drink so that’s fine, I’m more concerned about how I’m going to survive without Dominos, McDonalds and Starbucks for 9 months! I need my chicken nuggets!
Oo I love a Julia Donaldson book. Classics! We’ve got way too many books here as I can’t resist a good old charity shop or car boot sale bargain
I’ve resorted to storing some under my bed and the kitchen table
Just realised it’s not a Julia Donaldson book
I’m not preggo and not likely to be! Did one accidental baby, learnt the hard way that single parenthood is… hard
Congratulations - lovely news xGood morning lads so turns out I’ve been living off toast and ginger biscuits this week because I’m actually pregnant with my first! Ordered a book of dad jokes last night that should arrive today, and that will be how my husband finds out! So happy but also absolutely shitting myself
. I’ve managed to bring two up and they’re not bad at all as adults in their early/mid twenties - amazes me when I think about it. You’ll be fine x. Hope the sickness eases off soon x Love the dad jokes idea 
I used to read one to my eldest called “I love my hair” when she was younger as she started proper hating her Afro when she was about 4
Thought it was called curls but that’s the wrong one! My 2 youngest like “Glow” by Ruth Forman

My kids are in their twenties so definitely no more for me!
I love reading so the kids always had hundreds of books. My husband and son are both dyslexic so it was predominantly me who did the bedtime reading, although audiobooks were a godsend when I wasn’t around If I was on nights etc. My kids always liked me making stories up as well and I have a whole series of one character in my head, even after all of these years.
When I retire, husband and kids think I should finally get around to committing the stories to paper and get them published. Won’t be for about 10 years yet though and I‘m not sure as I don’t know if it would ruin the magic of them. Plenty of time left to decide though
Drink for me would be rose wine, cider or if I’m having a cocktail, a pornstar martini. Can’t do red wine as it gives me horrific migraines.

A margarita, made with cointreau, no ice cubes or slush puppy ones either.....not that I'm fussy...
Silly thought but red wine and most alcohol is super high in histamine. I’ve got severe histamine intolerance and it always sets me off! So does any kind of aged or fermented food, spinach, chocolate, coffee, avocado, nuts, feesh and dairy so they might be worth looking into.
eta: sorry just realised you didn’t mean you’d just had some!
Delighted for you Jolly, absolutely fab news to brighten up a deary wet Saturday evening. I can’t wait to hear Daddy’s reaction when he find out. You will have Gigilou to keep you company, it’s brilliant!Good morning lads so turns out I’ve been living off toast and ginger biscuits this week because I’m actually pregnant with my first!

Brilliant, I love it, it’s so so exciting!!love that he will do healthy eating in solidarity with you. You can still have your chicken nuggets as a treat if you fancy them.The book arrived and I gave it to him and he asked me if I was definitely pregnant then (the 2 tests say I am!) and he was like “bleeping hell”

I’m the exact same as you Della, it goes right to my head during the day and then I want to go to sleep.Ohhh I can't drink in the afternoon very well....goes straight to my head! I did one of those bottomless brunches with my girlie's after lockdown and I had to be picked up by my husband about 3pm and I spewed up in his beloved car
There's nothing more lovely than drinking a glass of wine in the sun though....but nowadays I have to have a water chaser or I'm piddled
If I had to pick a drink, of course it’s going to be Prosecco
to leave sparkles everywhereDisclaimer: I am not a serial killer!!

Absolutely adore my red wine in the evening or on a Sunday during the afternoon with dinner - heaven!!MeI'm two definitely done.

Prosecco or a pint of lager. I like fizzy stuff for day time drinking or red wine for evening drinking.
I’ve 3 and done, the parts probably don’t work any more anyway!

White mice
Dracula teeth
Bon bons
Chocolate covered foam bananas (Still don't like them)
Candy sticks
Cola cubes
