Never heard that starting periods young, but do seem to think rightly or wrongly (pls let it be wrongly!) that you only have a certain number eggs and then that's it Hmm.

Well I've just spent the evening sewing in name tags to dd's uniform, she starts school on the 13th . Done a shed load of gardening today!! Pruning is very therapeutic, but not sure the bushes would agree lol. Been a nice sunny day here (hampshire),nice and warm but def has that autumnal feel to it.

Fairygodmother1 · 30/08/2010 19:32

Youngie Thats just bloody greedy having twins!!!!! Wink

We hear ya harased!!!

Got my hosp app a week today so hopefully this is the end to the stupid amounts of bleeding I'm having! I'm sick & tired of being abnormal!!!!! All I want is a bloody baby.

Ooh read on a thread the other day that if you started your periods at an early age then that makes your ovaries & eggs old!!! That sunk me even further into the pit cos I was 11 when I got my first!!!!! Anyone heard this before?

How's everyone's bank holiday? It bloody cold!!!

Loujalou · 30/08/2010 18:42

Bollocks indeedy. You will need to keep putting out and that is a pain in the arse.

Fivealive today we are having the meatballs from MoF. Have done all the prep and now need to cook it. Yummy. Will let you know how it goes. His sweet potato and chorizo soup is lush and so is the curried cod.

Effing RTD arrived

harassedinherpants · 29/08/2010 16:55

Hi gals,

Sorry I've been such a crap poster lately, I've been in the pit Blush, and it wasn't even ertd!! Everything just got to me a bit, ok quite lot. Lots of pg friends and sil's, and sil with newish baby, and it's a bit hard atm for some reason.......but then you'll all know how I feel! Plus, I turn bloody 40 next month, I can literally feel my ovaries shrivelling I swear.

Anyway, I'm cd 20/21 now, so on the 2ww. Stupid symptoms include ridiculously sore and swollen tits, achey/crampy belly on and off, a bit of darkish brown discharge the other and just being a bitch as usual. Swear I had all these symptoms last month though. I've re-joined slimming world, so can't even stuff my face with crisps, chocoloate and wine

youngie test!!!
bicnod hope little O is feeling better today, poor little thing.

Bicnod · 28/08/2010 20:08

Yes oldie - TEST!! We need a BFP on this thread pronto.

I should be dancing the night away at my friends' wedding tonight but instead I have been cleaning exploding nappy contents off O's car seat cover

Lou thats the cookbook I have been using!! The meatballs, spag bol, sweet and sour pork and chicken stroganoff have all been very tasty, although I did cheat a bit with ds and put mini sausages in the S&S pork for him! He liked he others tho. Quite easy to follow the recipes though and far more tasty than most of my usuals!!!!!

Loujalou · 27/08/2010 22:01

Youngy test test test!!

NOTHEROLDIE · 27/08/2010 21:42

37, pah thats nothin!
Try heading towards 42, its depressing, I can tell ya!

However, I had a fab day today and I'm so happy. Happy kids = happy mum! and the sun shone :)

Still no RTD , but def no symptoms.

Have a fab weekend everyone!

Loujalou · 27/08/2010 09:52

I hide lots of people on FB as I don't want to see their scan photos, updates etc etc its easier that way. Am just waiting for my SIL to announce she is pregnant too then I will sob for hours and hours and hours.

FiveAlive I have started running and although I am not doing amazingly I am getting fitter, I hope. My legs hurt. In fact I might even buy some running shoes. Not words I ever thought I would be muttering but gets me out the house and fitter. Malteasers are all air and there is no calories in there.

I have got my Jamie Oliver Ministry of Food cookbook out and trying some new things as my cooking is coring me too. Its actually got simple but tasty stuff in it, which is good for me.

UmBongo · 27/08/2010 09:47

Oh and I was 37 last month so that makes me ancient I think!

UmBongo · 27/08/2010 09:45

Sorry to all those in the pit. I am feeling better mostly at the moment, even got a cookbook out to cook some new tasty meals as I was bored with my cooking!

Although I did have an irrational moment yesterday when I chucked the blue plastic bag that the midwife gave me with all the crap useful information in, into the wheelie bin. Then thought why am I crying, it is a PLASTIC BAG!!!!

Am allegedly trying to loose weight. Went for a walk for an hour last night, then came home and dh fed me maltesers! No fair, I had to eat them!! (did have a bit more exercise later tho!!Wink)

Don't blame you for hiding your schoolfriends posts FairyG, she sounds like the sort who will post every twinge and annoy everyone!

NOTHEROLDIE · 26/08/2010 20:48

With you in the pit fairy my friend just announced they're expecting twins. Thats doubly jealous.

Bah humbug and all that. No sypmtons, only a few days til the witch arrives.

Budge up in the pit, I brought some toffee popcorn and some fudge. Might as well may use of my stretchy waisted trousers for fat not baby :(

Fairygodmother1 · 25/08/2010 23:07

Hi ladies,

I'm in the pit & not cos of RTD! Someone I went to school with & just portrays the perfect life has announced she's pg! Posted scan photos on FB!!!! I've now hidden all her posts cos I just don't need it being shoved in my face!!! Sad

SOOOOOOO UNFAIR!!!!!!! Angry Envy Why aint it bmy turn??? Am I in the wrong queue & if I change queue will this one go quicker???? Hmm

NOTHEROLDIE · 25/08/2010 22:26

Will investigate the DAMP thing, when I see the lady of all damp knowledge.

I'm just on the last few days of my 2ww. Can I start sypmton spotting?

um... none ... not a good start!

Have great hols... I know of a new baby down Cornwall, might need a proper cuddle. (if you can get past the security)!!

Loujalou · 25/08/2010 21:12

Hi ladies, think I might need to wave my pom poms a bit harder to encourage you shaggers to get shagging.

Lou it's my birthday next week I will be 33 on Sunday (classed as an older mum to be on my records) and going to Scotland for a week on Monday.

All of dds stuff is sorted for school just got to sew on the name tags without throwing up! Might need a shot or two as I'm crap at sewing always end up stabbing myself.

Really intrested in all this talk of dampness, how does it affect ttfc, I never felt too damp myself, only when someone got preggers ( without trying poked it in once give it a waggle and hey presto ) and asked me why I was leaving it so long to have no 2!

Loujalou · 25/08/2010 20:15

Biccie I saw you on the lesbian friend Fred its a good one. Not 100 percent sure its true but its a good one.

OP posts:
Bicnod · 25/08/2010 19:09

Off to Cornwall - can't wait Grin

Yep, RTD week for me as well (we're going for 10 days). Oh well, at least I'll be somewhere nice when the inevitable happens

Loujalou · 25/08/2010 18:34

TH is sick so getting shagged will be hard work though its my birthday next week so when he asks what I want.....

Biccie where are you off to? We are off to majorca in a few weeks. Think its same week as rtd week.

The rest if you sambucas shots are lined up.

Ps pants if you is lurking I hope you are too busy with your pants off. I can feel a new nn coming on.

Bicnod · 25/08/2010 10:27

Ello lovelies

Louja leaky poo story made me chuckle

Nother getting concerned about this dampness. More details required.

FairyG keeping fingers crossed for ERTD to finish soon

Umbongo how's things with you?

So I'm CD14 and should be ov-ing at some point in next few days. Had a bit of SWI action last night and will jump DH again next few nights. Definitely won't be beating the shag-tastic nother this month.

Off on hols next Tuesday so might actually have some SFF Shock

Fairygodmother1 · 24/08/2010 21:44

Hi girlies - just trying to catch up after a week.

RTD is slow & steady...hopefully it finishes in the next couple of days & will be shorter than previous months.

Youngie I get stupidly jealous over friend's pregnancy but it's funny cos once they've had the baby I think yeah I'm gonna get me one of those but the green-eyed monster has gone...

What's this about dampness????? Hmm And I don't mean on the bathroom floor.

UmBongo · 24/08/2010 14:04

Oh, so I have not got much to look forward to then!!

NOTHEROLDIE · 24/08/2010 08:25

We went visiting and while sitting on a cream sofa, I noticed a brown sploge of leaked baby poo. I was terribly embarrassed Blush

But loose covers are brill! Straight into the washing machine and no-one suspected anything!

I've found its not just little boys who widdle on the bathroom floor. All men do! (or splash the wall)
