Title: Got some news!
Post by: bobbarley on 04 June 2011, 11:21: I wanna say something. I'm gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back.

My girlfriend and I are having a baby! :laugh: We found out on Monday that she's 5 weeks pregnant, the doctor confirmed it properly for us yesterday. We're both over the moon and couldn't be happier! We were thinking of keeping it a secret for a while, but then decided that it would be cool to tell a few people! I would ask that anyone who is friends on Facebook with me, please don't post anything on there about it, I haven't told my parents yet!

Now I just need to work out how I'm going to tell her it's Golf for a boy and Scirocco for a girl :grin:

Post by: mwep201081 on 29 July 2011, 13:35: The realisation hit me about 4 days after nipper was born.....i sobered up!!!!!

Seriously tho, I was filling a form in and it asked me for the number of dependants I had. I'd always thought that dependant was another word for child, which I know in a way it is, but just think what the word dependant really means. If I don't function that little person is in the brown stuff. Probably literally too.

It really got me thinking and from that moment on I've been a sensible sausage.....
