I never really set a figure. We do have two girls and we always get asked if we are going to try for a boy... Kids are expensive hobbies 
and we couldn't afford to have any more.
There is an age gap of nearly 4 years between our two. If we hadn't of had our youngest when we did I very much doubt that we would have had another purely for the fact that the eldest would have been starting school and I wouldn't have wanted to go back to the baby days.

I'm not going to quote your response Deecee but I'll add my thoughts on what you said...
Coming home every night and checking my house for spiders isn't something that I found particularly funny.
Suffering from panic attacks when a spider crept out of it's hiding place didn't make me laugh.
Having sleepless nights because I was worried about whether there were spiders in my bedroom or worse still in my bed certainly wasn't in the slightest bit amusing.
Facing people like you who don't understand didn't fill me with humour.
Seeking help took me almost 33 years. It wasn't something I was able to do prior to the time I did. I didn't find that funny.
In reality, it cost me the best part of twenty grand because I chose to stay at home with my parents instead of buying a flat of my own. I couldn't face the thought of living alone. That's not funny to me either.
There's nothing funny about an irrational fear that I couldn't cope with never mind face up to that and get help. People deal with things in different ways and I have no respect for someone who laughs at other people's expense on something they clearly have no knowledge of.
Choose to laugh elsewhere if it makes you feel big and clever, as I said, knock yourself out. How you deal with your "fears" is your choice. My fear was very real and there was nothing funny about it whatsoever. I don't appreciate you laughing at me or at anyone else because they aren't as big and clever as you.
I can look back on it now, rationally and appreciate that it may well seem ridiculous to have such a fear but that's after getting help. I had a book that I had to order and ensure that it was already in a bag before I collected it from the shop. The people there didn't laugh at me. I then deposited it with the lads in the mailroom at work and they went through every page in it sticking post-it notes over the pictures. The boys in the mailroom didn't laugh at me. That is ridiculous but I was physically unable to look at that book. I have that book now, with no post-it notes in it, in pride of place on my bookcase to show me every day that overcame my fear and that was one hell of an achievement.
I wouldn't laugh at other people because they haven't managed to do that. I still wouldn't laugh at them if they chose to do nothing and carry on living with what is a very real fear for a huge number of people even if you find it hilarious. If I can help someone else overcome their fear because of my experiences then I'm more than happy to do that. It doesn't make me a hero but nor am I a victim. If I were a victim I'd have sat back and let you be insulting without saying anything at all.
Speak your mind all you like, I have no objection to that but shame on you for your total lack of respect for something that took me all the courage I could muster to get over and I did. I'm very proud of myself for that but I won't sit back and watch you toss it back like it was nothing. It wasn't. I have absolutely no respect for anyone who rips the piss out of people who are genuinely afraid of something and in the process of plucking up the courage to do something about it. .
Having a phobia is no laughing matter.
Guilty as charged 
I have been known to pop to Asda in the wee small hours for childrens pain relief dressed in PJ's and Ugg(type) boots.
I have also been known to pop my little one to the emergency doc's in my super duper sexy silver lepoard print PJ's. Some PJ's are just to nice to be confined to the indoors :giggle:

Really you can use any sort of sponge but I always prefer natural ones....or the baby sponges you get in boots are quite good too. Cut off a piece about the size of a tennis ball (once you've done it a few times you'll work out what size it best for you)Pop it in a cup of boiling water first then wring it out and scrunch it into a ball......put a bit of lube on it then push it in in the same way you would a tampon.
Effectively then it acts in the same way as a tampon but it's further up and no string in the way :lol2:
When you're done just fish it back out
:shock: really. I've never heard of that before

This seems to be going on a lot lately....with Sainsburys i think it was renaming the fish pollack........ 'Colin' as they found people to embarrassed to ask for it.....even getting someone to design a Jackson Pollack inspired 'red or dead' type packaging :shock:
(apparently Colin is french for hake, which is very simlar to pollack...they havent just plucked a guys name out of thin air :giggle: ....oh yes I'll have half a pound of Kevin and a quarter of Tristran please)
we have Bounty being renamed Plenty, and we all know about the Oil of Ulay/Olay, Opal fruits/starburst or the Marathon/Snickers debacle
even herbal essences is being remarketed in swish new bottles....
does anyone fall for this....do they think ooohhh thats a nice new bottle I think I'll try it, or wow its changed its name.....it must be better...... or do you wish they'd leave well enough alone and stop fannyong about with things we know/love and find familiar?
does changing name/packaging make it instantly more popular or do people think "pish p'shaw...what a load of old wank" and boycott it?
will be back to this later, Im off for a plate of Colin n chips!
I can answer the bit in bold Mrs B.
I'm sure the UK was the only country to call Ulay Ulay, the rest of the world called it Olay. So the manufacturer changed the name in the uk to Olay to have brand equity. The same for Cif/Jif and Bounty/Plenty.
Thats how it was explained to me anyway. Hope it helps.
But why did they have to have a different name in the UK in the first place? Surely it would have made sense to maintain the brand name wherever they were subsequently launched?
Can't answer that i'm afraid but to be fair most people that now go out to buy Olay will ask for Olay only a few will ask for Ulay.
From a business sense I guess it saves on advertising to have one name for a product. To change a products name on the front isn't the end of the world. Customers will still buy the product and in time will almost forget that it was ever called anything else.
