  JW infertility treatment.

  i was driving to work earlier this week and caught the end of a news story on radio 4 (uk).

  i heard that a 'jehovah's witness woman' was the first in the country to have become pregnant by the use of her previously frozen eggs and her husbands sperm.. .

  what is unique (i beleive) is that her egg[s] was fertilised in the womb rather than the 6 or more which are usually fertilised in vitro.. .

  Spraypaint pine cones gold, silver or glittery. Pile up on a platter or use to decorate wreaths or tree.

  This quiz is to some extent a test of knowledge as much as intelligence, I am not sure its a measure of IQ......but it is fun!

  I got 15 answers on my first read through, and 4 more of which 3 I am not certain in my second read through. 58% - I am not as clever as I thought I am!! Is there a time limit on it?? I am going to print it out to bamboozle my husband!

  Firstly: Congratulations to Onacruse and Bikerchic on your planned wedding!

  My first Christmas was in 1994, 7 months after I ran away! I went with my boyfriend to his family in Whitley Bay. It was fun, but I did feel weird. When we visited his extended family, there'd always be a little gift for me. Sweet, them thinking of me.

  The next couple of years I spent Christmas with my best friend Nick. Nick and I looked after each other when we both miserable divorcees!!

  Then the next 4 Christmas's I was at my boyfriends family. His mum is a great cook, and family dinners are usually mirthful affairs, Christmas is no exception.

  So, we got married and moved into our first home together last year. I invited the family (parents-in-law and sister-in-law) to our home for Christmas. So I cooked my first Christmas dinner at the age of 30. My SiL does not eat much, so I scaled all the recipes for the trimmings (stuffing, veg) down to 4 portions. MiL turned up with dishes of stuffing, too. In the end we could barely fit all the food on the table. I did the brussel sprouts with bacon and chestnuts baked in the oven. The sprouts were still....crunchy. I have been teased about these raw veg all year, so this year, the sprouts are starting cooking on Dec.1. That is the traditional English way to cook them anyway. Oh and I did prawn and avocado for starters. And a choice of shop bought individual puddings.

  This year I might do a goose.

  The problem I have is with decorating the house. I can't quite let myself go and have a tree. To be honest I think a lot of Christmas stuff is tacky anyway. Last year I sprayed pine cones gold and silver and had them in dishes, and I made a wreath and we had fairy lights. I just don't seem able to develop my own style for Christmas, and I have nothing to draw a reference from. But I like it!!

  At the end of the day, a midwinter festival is necessary to bring cheer and brightness to the chill and gloom.

  More mulled wine anyone? Mince pie?

  Thanks for all the replies. I have been offline for what feels like YEARS while I got everything set up. This is week 3 in the new job; its going OK, but I have SOOOOO much to learn, and I think I will be effectively useless for some time. Hey Ho.

  Well, hello again everyone. Now I must trawl through the last 5843 messages to work out what has been going on around here in my absence..........

  brother out on field service knocks the door of a grand looking house.

  after a short while a little kid about 7 yrs old answers the door holding a large glass of brandy in one hand, and puffing on a large cuban cigar in the other hand.

  the brother is a bit lost for words and looks down at the kid and says .
