I have the Air Hockey and Ping pong tables on order.
I thought it being the first day of term we should move in and make ourselves at home.

Cheers Mama. I couldn't find the 'nose' bit. So next time I will try to look for the 'pimple' Grin

MamaPower · 10/09/2010 16:10

lol!! well in a way you aren't too wrong Hairy!! the dimple that you're looking for is sitting on a kind of nose like protrusion, so if you can find that then skim your finger gently over that area and you should find this little dimple! :)

hairytriangle · 10/09/2010 15:55

oh! that's where I've gone wrong, I've been looking for something the size of a nose! Grin

hairytriangle · 10/09/2010 15:54

loving the nostalgia. I can no longer bear the smell of thunderbird or southern comfort and I can't stand the sight of 20/20 Blush

Unbuffy · 10/09/2010 15:45

Carrot chunks = stomack lining.

Honest injun.

Screwdrivers = worstest ever banned drink.

Never trust a blue drink. I had one once called Sex In A Bubblegum Factory. It was not good.

owlshoes · 10/09/2010 15:34

Aw, lovely. You are most definitely not space-invading. Here; have a slice of homemade bread and jam (yep, not even talk of innards puts me off my food) :) Next time I'm going in with a mining lamp and a roadmap if it's that difficult to miss Grin

MamaPower · 10/09/2010 15:24

Hi ladies, I hope you don't mind but I'm just 'watching' this thread...you all gave me such lovely welcome a few months back and I know I haven't been along with you guys that long so I don't intend to invade your space just watch out for any helpful tips/info. On the flip side...I hope you don't mind but the cervix thing, just a little experience so if it helps; During the follicular phase of your cycle you are looking for the teeniest tinyest little dimple(seriously if you aren't expecting it to be so tiny you could miss it, no bigger than the head of a spot! As you move into the luteal phase this dimple starts to get slightly bigger and softer. Hope that helps in the search...now I'll piss off and leave you all in peace x

My List Of Tainted Drinks

Taboo
jack Daniels
Smirnoff
Ouzo

owlshoes · 10/09/2010 15:19

Aha! So maybe the devious little sod will be findable again in a week or so (If I can face the rummaging again). I'm pretty sure it must be up there somewhere as I was reliably informed that it was closed last time I had a scan.

And yes, BB , my hands are not unlike those giant sponge hands, tis super-useful for, er, basketball and picking up melons. And, er, that's probably it. Gloves never fit me.

But I digress.

I once drank a 'punch' made of taboo and blue curacao. Blue vomit is the worst thing evah. But what I really want to know is, where do the carrot chunks come from?

Things I Can Never Drink Again Due To Barfing:

Taboo
Southern Comfort
Tequila
Blue things
Scrumpy
Alcopops
Pernod

owlshoes I had the same problem - can't find the blighter, although several (probably way too many) gynaes have seen it , prodded its, swabbed it etc in recent months!

barrenbrook · 10/09/2010 14:07

Mirage! That's what it was called!

barrenbrook · 10/09/2010 14:07

owl I actually thought some wee was going to come out I was laughing so much at your post. I just had this image of mahusive comedy hands similar to that of sponge hand waving contraptions a la Gladiators audience. Sorry, inappropriate seeing as your cervix is missing! I am led to believe prior to ovulation ones cervix rises to it's highest point and it's perfectly normal not to be able to reach it. I'm sure après ovulation you will be able to find it so worry not chicken Smile

viv I'm going to bookface you up now lady.

Eeesh, taboo! Wasn't there another one that was like it's sister drink but a different colour? The name slips my mind but was frequently poured down my neck. One time I remember drinking gin with Hooch (remember that?!) as a mixer!

PrettyVacant1 · 10/09/2010 13:05

Hello all, WhatBabe bit of both, we've not been down for a while and they've just finished doing the house up.
It's so quiet here and its lovely not having to do anything but eat chocolate and drink.
Its also Mr.G's Mums DPs 60th party tomorrow .
Should be fun , he's mucho fun and quite, quite mad!

Afternoon lovelies xx

Ooh ooh ooh can I play on Bookface too please? :) My initials are KD and I'm wearing a wedding dress and am already friends with PV, Moo et al so friend me up! :)

And hello urd lovely! How fab to see you. :)

I'm back from my day Go Apeing in the Lakes with work. Was much fun and I managed to do it ALL, despite being avec bean. None of it was particularly high impact, so I never felt like I was doing anything that could harm the baby - plus I expertly managed to nurse a full glass of wine all night to avoid the non-drinking suspicions. Textbook.

As for school booze - taboo was my nemesis. Only to be superceded at university by mixing orange 20/20 with lambrini to make a pint of rocket fuel. Bad times.

Unbuffy · 10/09/2010 12:47

oooh snakebite. Never quite saw the point of that... I used to stick to Navy rum and Coke and VAST quantities of scrumpy... Cheapy neat vodka / gin on a bad night (will not now touch the evil stuff). Actually i'm not entirely sure of everything on good nights, except a REALLY good night generally had absinthe in it (and associated hallucinations)

Cervix rummaging? icky... A bit like that mast*rbation thingy. Another thing I just don't get. I know I'm now a bumpkin but I did live in a city for a while but am starting to wonder if I'm just crazy naive? Much more so than when I was 6th form I'm sure - knew Everything then.

clareanna · 10/09/2010 12:39

I see your kiwi 20/20 and raise you a pint of snakebite and black with an archers and lemonade chaser - urregh

owl am not a fan of the rummaging, but know from the various smears I've had that you can have a tilted cervix which makes it harder to find- must be up there somewhere?!

owlshoes · 10/09/2010 12:33

TMI alert (if you have a fear of rummaging)

Right you lot; I decided I would try and find my cervix as by all accounts I should be considering its condition. Went for a bit of a scout. Now, bearing in mind I have massive hands like some sort of freakish ladyboy and really long fingers - I cannot find the fecker. Seriously. It's not there.

Have I a: not got one (unlikely, I concede)? Or b: does it just vanish completely when it is almost SWI time? Tis day 8 or 9 today I think if that is helpful.

Thanking you in advance for your learned replies.

Also; ew. Am not rummaging again, that was weird and horrible.

youremindmeofthebabe · 10/09/2010 12:17

We used to drink neat Taboo that also tasted the same on the way down as up, although even more acidic (if that's possible).

What's the plan in London Town, PV? You got family there, or just a visit?

God, barren you must be ker-knackered. I think getting up at six is early, obviously I don't know owt! Enjoy your lie insSmile

Can I have a wham bar freezing? I saw at the shop the other day you can now get raspberry and cola ones,

Off to the swimming baths later with DS, and at work tomorrow, boo. However having an X-factor night in on Saturday-yey. Lord, how times have changed here too.

PrettyVacant1 · 10/09/2010 11:36

Grin @ owls tramp juice.
Glad to know I'm not the only classy berd.

Well I've abandoned the shiny shiny mowbli for an iPad and I'm sitting in front of a large bowl of chocolates.
This is not good for my waistline.

iPad is lovely and all, but sorry Steve it doesn't do anything my iPod touch and phone can't.
Review over. Grin

Blargh, 20:20 - that's brought back hideous memories. We used to drink White Lightening before we went out; I'm sure that's rotted my insides. Mmm, tramp-juice.

Elloo Hairy and Hen and Freezing :)

Now I'm going to have to go and see what Lottie posted on the big thread that made her Blush ; I'm intrigued Grin

PrettyVacant1 · 10/09/2010 08:09

Morning Peeps. :)

Good to see you all again.
Hi Hairy, Clareanna , Freezing , BatteryChook and Beattie.

Jollster yeah for sorting out your smelly waterworks, not so yeah for feeling shite, power of the pod remember, we'll do it.
Sqz x

How's the moving going Cheepz ?
Found the gin yet? :)

8's blurrrgghh, kiwi 20/20 actually tasted better coming back up I seem to remember .
On the same but far more classy note, have you had Chapel Down wine?
Tis from local vineyard, well Kent.
We sunk a few bottles last night, it gorgeous.
Maybe one to keep on ice for you though.

Morning all,

moo I'm taking agnus castus too, took it years ago to sort my cycles out as I was having a period every 18 days. Yikes. Don't want that to be happening again.

Hey to Beattie, lottie, freezing, battery, clareanna, hairy and anyone else I haven't already said hello to and may have forgotten in my tired stupor.

magic ahhhh good old chunderbird, eeesh, that was rank wasn't it. Scrumpy in gallon containers was another drink of choice down my way in my youth. It had bits in. And tasted the same coming back up too. With bits! Grin Ming-ing!

jolls hey chicken, sorry you're still having to deal with ERPC aftermath, hopefully this is the end of it now and it will stop very soon. I have no words of advice just empathy by the bucketload if that helps x

I am sooooooooo pleased it's Friday, I've been on duty for the past 20 days straight getting up every morning at 4 friggin 30 and I am fooked. 5 days off now, bring on the lie in.

I'll apologise now if I'm not about the next few days, we have family over and I will be hogging my delicious Niece for myself as I've not seen her for a while.

Happy Friday lovelies x

Freezingmyarseoff · 10/09/2010 01:13

is that a spare beanbag in the corner, can I use it? I have some wham bars... oh and a large jug of G and T too?

Glad it wasn't just me who was getting a bit freaked out by the zillions of posts.

Cariboo congrats

Cheepz good luck with the house move.

Big waves to everyone else.

urd · 09/09/2010 23:19

Feel great to be in touch again, so pleased for you Caribou thats great news made my day.Hi to Pretty Vacant, Barrenbrook, Jollster, Alba, Magic8, Beattie and everyone else.
