March 2009 News Snippets
Rumour has it that Coleen Rooney is 3 months pregnant. Apparently she' been dropping hints left, right and centre in her magazine column.

So far, only friends and family have been officially told. Watch this space.

Bullet The teenager who painted a 60-foot long penis on the roof of his parent's £1m home, in a bid to get the house noticed on Google Earth, has been told by his parents to scrub it off.Rory McInnes, 18, took a tin of white paint on to the roof of his parents home in Hungerford, Berkshire but the plan backfired when his parents found out before Google could photograph his handiwork. Apparently a tabloid reporter phoned his Dad Andy to tell him and Andy just thought it was a wind-up! Rory subsequently admitted responsibility and we're sure he'll think long and hard before doing anything like that again! This story became the BBC's most emailed story this week - so much for serious news dominating the headlines.

Bullet Most learner drivers prefer their dad to teach them to drive than their mum. According to the results of a poll by AA driving school, fathers get angry more quickly whilst mothers are more likely to panic.

Bullet Apparently, the toys your kids play with can help you to work out the future job of your toddler.So for example, people who become architects preferred construction toys as kids, nurses were most likely to chose dolls and IT workers opted for computer games. The majority of architects already knew their future profession before they reached the age of 16, according to the Lego research. Problem solvers in banking or accountancy were most likely to enjoy board games and puzzles and advertising professionals preferred to play with creative sets such as painting kits and Play-Doh.

Bullet Prematurely born children should be allowed to start school later than their peers because they take longer to develop. Research has shown that premature babies are 77 more times likely to suffer serious learning difficulties by age 11.

Bullet Imaginary friends are good. One in five children has an imaginary friend. You certainly don't need to worry though about your children imagining things. You can rest assured that it is a sign of a healthy and active imagination. The majority of children with imaginary friends are girls. and the most common age for having an imaginary friend is between 3 and 5 years old. Just under half of young children play make-believe every single day and girls were generally found to be 'more imaginative' than boys. Top of the list of favourite make-believe games with imaginary friends are 'school', 'house' and 'shop'.

Bullet Jade Goody has been christened in the same ceremony as her two sons. The boys' father Jeff Brazier and Jade's husband Jack were both present at her bedside in the Royal Marsden Hospital. A spokesman has said that it's likely that the ex-Big Brother star will die within weeks.

Bullet Young children who spend more than two hours a day watching TV double their risk of developing asthma. Rather than the telly itself being to blame, experts believe that it's the couch-potato lifestyle which is the root cause. And children who watched TV for more than two hours a day were almost twice as likely to have been diagnosed with asthma as those who watched the telly less.

Bullet Ulrika Jonsson has admitted that she thought that stress incontinenece was just one of those things mums are supposed to put up with. She was shocked to learn that even though nearly five million women under the age of 40 suffer from this embarrassing condition, it's something that people simply don't talk about! As a mother of four she admits that coughing and sneezing made her run the risk of losing control of her bladder and having to make a mad dash for the toilet but pelvic floor exercises have helped her bring her problem under control. Good on Ulrike for bringing this issue to public attention. Read Wet Knickers for more information.......
