another meme

I was tagged by Heather, and besides I don't have anything else to post because I'm still not in labour...

FIRST THING YOU THINK OF IN THE MORNING? Is today the day I give birth?

HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? It depends on how close I am to the phone.

IF YOU COULD PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE? guitar

DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST? Nah, my highest speed on the motorway is probably only 110 km/hr.

WHO DO YOU WISH YOU COULD GO BACK AND TALK TO? There’s no-one I would want to talk to that I'd have to go back and talk to.

Time for a hot curry methinks to get baby moving...well, it worked for a friend of mine a few years back...half an hour after downing a pork vindaloo, she was having contractions! Good luck chick, looking forward to hearing the good news!

TimT said...

I think you should call the baby either Jonquil, Tanaquil, or Pritchard.

Happy and Blue 2 said...

Great answers. I especially liked the full name answer, tee,hee..

Violet said...

Desiree: it might make me sick, 'cos I'm right off curries these days.

timt: they sound like names of medicines...

happyandblue2: thank you, I aim to please.

My sister-in-law had a 'sweep' to get things going. Funny the midwife couldn't tell an arse from a head - baby was breach and it took 3 midwives and finally a scan to work it out! I hope your little critter is facing the right way. Can't wait to meet him/her!

Ooh, thanks Violet, I've never been tagged before!

I was away this weekend and I was convinced I'd come back to find you'd given birth... You're only like a day overdue though, so that's nothing.
