Skatty, that's funny as my husband is jewish, in terms of names I think he'd like to go for a more biblicle name but I'm just not to keen on some of the names, his favourite was Moses until Gwynth Paltrow and Chris Martin decided to call their son Moses (typical!!).
Pets are great aren't they, especially now when your having an of day, they sometimes seem to sense it and cuddle up to you - well my cats do not sure about a German Sheppard cuddling anyone!
Thanks, hoping to finally make a decision on the house front by the end of this week, then I to can start to think about packing up as well, good luck to you and your OH on moving and settling in as soon as poss. so that you can still chill out and make the most of the summer!
