By hook or by crook we will shag our way to victory - thread for the JSing viroids

I find myself in the odd position of still being in bed, but very bored. And somehow still cannot drag my arse out of bed

Impressed at nervous's tactics. I usually just do the passive agressive 'I am narked but I'm going to stay on the moral high ground' thing and don't get anywhere. Am always way too embarrassed to make a fuss and end up paying for stuff I know I haven't had. Wimp!

vallinna I reckon the rugby will get them started. Do lots of shouting and hollering and jumping up and down - that should kick 'em into life!

It has snowed here (Cambridge) a little tiny bit - just a dusting on everything but enough to make me think it's time to go Christmas shopping and start scoffing mince pies.

Don't even feel sick this morning, so going to stuff my face while I still can

Hey ladies - I hope all is good this evening.

I have been upped to 100 whatevers of Puregon as nada waking my ovaries! Scan and bloods on Monday.

Just plodding along! Off to the Rugby tomorrow so that should thoroughly freeze my eggs!

BB could the 3lb be poo!? Or are you OK on that front now?? Pants about doc.

Nervous loving your options for today, hope you chose wisely! Good luck with the egg nog and jsing!

Miffles yeh for the start of clomid!!

It was a close call TTL . Yesterday I used the time honoured tactic of turning up in the showroom and started mouthing off about how rubbish the car was and how the customer service was a joke, in front of a few would-be buyers. Works every time.

Actually to be fair, once I got to speak to a manager that had some clout, it was resolved almost immediately. And I still fucking luuurve my beautiful shiny car :). The plus side of all these fixed-under-warranty issues is they keep valeting it for me. Result.

Wine is now open. It wasn't as early as I first thought .

I've got the message too nervous

PMSL and then PMSL some more at your car shenanigans

Glad you got it sorted without cutting their necks off

Yes I did go out, went out and did a bit of weeding (wildlife friendly weeding, which is my excuse for leaving all the messy bits). Then my feet were frozen, so I went and stood on my muck heap . Really! But only so I could dig in to it and get some of the well-rotted stuff for the garden. But it's warmer on top of there than in the house when the weather is cold. I wish I could figure out how to syphon the heat it produces in to my house :(

Anyway I then got the call I've been waiting for all week - my car was back :) :) :) (for those of you who weren't paying attention, it broke down near Inverness last week and wasn't fixed in time for our return to the Burg. I've been fighting with Audi all week that it's their job to get it back to me as it's under warranty. They relented so I went to pick it up). Got in it, smiling away, noticed the frozen windscreen, turned on the fans, and - NADA. They weren't working. . Were they having a GIRAFFE??? < seriously fucked off emoticon>

Stropped back into the showroom, bless them they fixed it in record time, it was just a blown fuse. So finally got my lovely car home (via Tesco to buy wrapping paper, probably not the high-street supporting that Nickel was after ).

Car all tucked up in garage now (I seem to be quite in love with it, weirdo that I am). Fire on, mince pies and gingerbread latte at my side. Wine warming by fire as I think it's a bit early to crack it open, no?

Sorry for the long essay post! Oh does anyone else have a message above the typing screen saying they are unable to use special characters?

aww, :( nmcb .

you'll have to brace yourself, though , this cold snap is only going to get worse!

this time next week you'll be thinking 1degree C is "mild and clement"

Vallinna that's okay. I'm from NZ but despite the fact my ancestory is about 95% British, I seem to be missing the tea gene. Except for when I'm upduff, then I find myself wanting to drink the damn stuff. I refuse to though, much to DHs disgust! (hehe)

Nickel I went out this afternoon, but beyond getting some food I wish we'd stayed home TBH. It's no fun being freezing cold in public with a screaming child who only wants Daddy.

thank you takethatlady I shall scrutinise all future customers!

My nipples always ping out when it is cold. I have to make sure I wear padded bras, especially at school!! Don't really hurt though unless boobs are sore.

Sounds like you have had quite a gross day TTL. I hope not that many of them came back up

Hope you have managed to do something exciting Nervous

Oh dear. Does look like it bb. Naughty OP.

nickeldonkey you are one of many on this thread from Kent (can't remember if you were one of the ones who owned up to this before). I'm from Margate though I don't live there anymore. My mum and step-dad live near there and DH's family live in Broadstairs. My step-sister lives in Sittingbourne - I'll direct her to your shop! Looks lovely!

Did you get out nervous? I have stayed in feeling sorry for myself all day, eating twiglets and rich teas and then seeing how long it takes for them to come back up.

vallinna you are a braver lady than me !

I find myself being a little ATM on this thread Me thinks she has bought clomid off the t'inter-web

Too many choices!!

Right have spent too long on laptop, so am now going to go out. I'm getting that familiar but unwelcome "panic" I get when I've had time off and have to go back to work. No matter what I've done, it feels like I just wasted it all :(

Right going to go and do some weeding for a bit, physical labour always makes me feel better. Then nip to shops, buy a couple of things and wrapping paper, then come back and do my internet shopping when it's dark.

Oh good, a plan

thanks!

(and sorry for the shameless plug )

I've been outside today, once was enough

Do love your website though and will likely be purchasing something from there :)

DarkStar - i refer you to my post above your

GO OUTSIDE!! Go shopping in the real shops!

actually, if you're going to shop online, go to www dot nickelbooks dot co dot uk

Oh god Nelly stay indoors and Christmas shop online. It is brass monkeys today. Mind you, my strongest early pg symptom apart from crazy sense of smell seems to be 'extreme sensitivity to cold'. Last night I ended up wearing skirt, vest, jumper, pyjama bottoms, knee length socks, giant hoody and slippers, and was still freezing.

BrassicaBabe I think nipple sensitivity to cold is a well recognised pg thing too. My friend had it so badly that she used to have to dip her breasts in a sink full of hot water when she got in from work

Nelly go to the shops to do your christmas shopping!

I'm a bit fed up, because yesterday and today, it's bneen like a sodding ghost town round here - It's only cold , people!

internet sopping is killing the High Street, and I'm the High Street, so get your scarf and gloves on and get outside!!

Ohhh NMCB now where do you orginate from (tell me to pee off for being nosey!)

BB actually think the weight loss is due to the Metformin, it just kicked in around Clomid/Letrozole time! Only half a stone but secretly very pleased with it! 3lbs could just be due to water rentension! Or possibly cake!

Nelly go outside for an hour (it's boooootiful and I am envious, sitting in an office quite far away from any windows! Plus vitamin d from the sunlight is great for all things baby!) then snuggle up in the conservatory, guilt free, and Christmas shop!

Brassica Just wait til the vomiting and food aversions kick in. I've found it a great way to lose weight.

Oh damn I suddenly REALLY want a cup of tea! Normally can't stand the stuff, but the child with in is half ruddy English. Well it can just wait til it's old enough to steal Daddy's (like it's big brother)!

Ha! Well, (e) is def out!! I suggest (c) until the desire for (e) passes!

I refuse to put on 3lbs by 6 weeks. My arse won't get through the front door if it carries on at that rate

Yesterday I had to go to hospital for an x-ray (related to my new hollywood smile ). I was very impressed with the service, just pitched up with my slip and was out in about 15 minutes, x-ray in hand. Anyway, as I was walking out I was thinking "oooh I bet I'm one of the few people here who actually wants to come back asap". I meant, of course, the maternity ward; but now hope that my "wish" isn't granted in some other way . Might wear extra padding when I go and ride my horse later......

Josie , not sure if it worked but I think I sent you a PM (or whatever they are called on here!) For everyone else, it was about horses hence why I didn't post in the thread!

I've been off all week and had a very frustrating time (let's just say Cars are not my friend, and neither is the Audi customer service ). Anyway as it's my last afternoon off I am trying to decide what to do. OH at work so JS not an option . (Though we did manage last night so am inspecting my gusset for egg-nog on a regular basis. Think I'm due to OV today; have probably had light pant snot over the last few days but so far no real mitter-whatsit pain. Maybe I'll go pee on one my un-wrapped OPK. Is it too late for that?)

Anyway:
Option a) Sit in conservatory (it's the only warm room) drinking homemade Gingerbread lattes and buying Christmas presents online.

Option b) go to actual shops and do same

Option c) As option a but reading MN instead.

Option d) as A but read a book.

Option e) Take advantage of the fact it's a glorious winter's day (crisp, freezing, and sunny) and go outside and do some essential garden chores.
