Hehe - okay, yes, I can imagine! I bet I'd have had a similar thing happen with Steve to be honest if we'd managed to get as far as ordering a pool. We were going to get an inflatable one but I can just imagine the flapping now..!

Good point about the cats, although I *think* I remember one of the brands over here saying they were catproof. I could be wrong though - but maybe the fear of water and all that activity would put them off?

I guess your body is just trying to trick you into thinking it's nearly time! I am so, so pleased I managed to skip all that and I do feel for you. I did have some of the traditional "signs" but I blanked them as it was too early - but of course it may just have been a coincidence! I still think it was the curry though ;-)
