    I love gravy too but it has to be thick, I spent years eating awful vegetable gravy and a few months ago I found out I could eat the normal b!$t0 haha! Annoying but so happy!

    Yep I'm the same. Thick gravy and have to fit as much on my plate as physically possible before it will start to overflow haha. This conversation is making me so hungry, fancying so many foods at the moment lol xx

    I find it's easier and cheaper to make my own as we all eat loads of them so if I don't make enough is simple to make some more. I add mixed herbs to the better aswell for a change of taste x

    its the same as pancakes but put oil in the pan first and put in the oven for 10/15 mins then add the batter. its the hot oil that makes them puff up

    If I do buy I always get the value ones as I think they taste more like proper ones. the more expensive ones add other bits to them which I don't like. I'm the same with scotch pancakes.

    I know the t0by do a breakfast yorkshire pudding. Not sure what that entails though. And they also do breakfast gravy, again no idea what that entails but doesn't sound very appetising. I love gravy but not that much!

    Lunchtime, good thing too as everyone is talking about food. I'm taking a break from strippinv yet more wallpaper. Honestly the next time we move house if we view one with wallpaper I'm saying no. The good news is the damp proofing guy says he will be done tomorrow, so when we get back from a weekend away we can start getting the house a bit straighter.

    Hoovering really hurts my abs lol, I tense them as I push the hoover around which is completely unintentional but counts as good work out!

    I do take after my Mum a lot, and we are very close, so I'm not really surprised she picked up on it. She's decided she's going to be Nanna. It's their first grandchild so I told them about it by saying that they have 8 and a half months to decide what they want their grandchildren to call them. The parents in law already have grandsons so we know what they will be.

    the once my cousin was saying to her that @ld1 nappies are really good and she said oo that's handy to know Em. But still she swears she isn't wanting grandkids yet... I have to keep reminding her that there are no babys on the horizon

    That would be pretty weird Emma!

    My step mum was asking us a while ago what we'd want our children to call my dad, as my step brother has had a baby so they wanted her to start calling him whatever we wanted so all the grandchildren would call him the one name. I have no idea! Said I'm happy for him to be called whatever he wants to be called! Suppose it was nice to ask though.

    That's nice of them to ask you.
    I know both moms will be nan for us but I don't know about dads. I never had any granddads so I get a bit confused with that side of things. I assume just granddad but will see if they want something different.. pops :)

    I can see there being a lot of pressure for us after we are married but at the moment we are going to wait a while after that even. we will see when the time comes! who knows.. could get pregnant next week. no protection is ever 100%

    OH and I have spoken about trying after the wedding but it really depends what our situation is at that point. OH has always had in his head he'd like to be 25 when he has a babba.

    My auntie tried for 10 years before she had a baby. She fell pregnant twice but had miscarriages on both occasions, so it was 10 years before she fell pregnant and actually kept a baby. So from her perspective she's telling us not to wait for the 'right time' and just jump in as you never know what problems you're going to face fertility wise xx
