The resurrection of the 6th form common room for those inbetweeners who are TTC/PG after mc and are too long in the tooth to fit anywhere else

The resurrection of the 6th form common room, a place to put your feet up, wallow in self pity (me) or rejoice (and tremble in fright) at new growing beans and baybees after mc. No lists. No stats. No babydust. No feeling bad if you can't keep up.

Go.

youremindmeofthebabe · 10/02/2011 14:47

Is BB on her hols? I'm v jealous. I bet she's swigging vin chaud and zipping down mOuntain sides as we speak

mummyabroad · 10/02/2011 14:01

hey owl "vintage" sounds so much better than "oldie"

hello urd I dont think we've spoken before (unless I have a rubbish memory, if so apologies!)

Good luck Clareanna! I dont actually know why you need it, will go off snooping in a minute and find out..

Nice to see you too Jolls, good to see you are keeping the place ship shape, even if there is no list to tidy!

MamaP at google.

thanks for the lovely welcome everyone and reassurances

urd · 10/02/2011 13:07

Hi all, nearly a year for me (last Feb), still around, hope you are all well. Here's to a lucky year.xxxx

owlbooty · 10/02/2011 13:00

Yeah, I lurk in here too, being a relatively old bugger. :)

MummyA you've given so much helpful info to so many, definitely time for some R&R now.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 10/02/2011 10:59

Oooh good luck clareanna !!!!!

jolls you're worrying me, posting in the early hours like that - I didn't realise that I'd be expected to actually go back to my rl sixth form lifestyle

Better go, posting from work and it's a nightmare - bloody awful hearing coming up and all my witnesses have suddenly turned hostile

youremindmeofthebabe · 10/02/2011 08:52

Good luck clareanna- How exciting!

Mamapower · 10/02/2011 08:25

Pmsl at jolls list obsession

mummy what took you so long?! I've been sneaking in here for solace for ages babe, you could always put up a link to google and ask geeves

SameOldJollster · 10/02/2011 08:18

clareanna haven't you got somewhere to be today...?

clareanna · 10/02/2011 06:56

jolls get back to sleep!!!

SameOldJollster · 10/02/2011 04:32

If I'd have known you were all coming I'd have run the Dyson round...

Lovely to see you all.

MummyA TFFT, I thought you were blimmin' Mother Teresa, it's good to know you are just a normal but kind lovely and compassionate person. I used to see all your lengthy and informative and supportive posts and think "flipping heck she's a living saint". Time for a bit of MummyA time x.

totally get how you're all feeling with the TTC thread. When you're hanging around a while (nearly 18 months for me) it just gets a bit much. You need it for a while, that solidarity, common experience etc, but then it just gets too hard to keep welcoming and waving goodbye.

And the list! Don't get me started on how the list has gone to pot

Velvetcu · 09/02/2011 22:50

Haha typos due to phone - like not lime!

Velvetcu · 09/02/2011 22:49

Ok I'm defecting properly too then! I cant cope with any more newbies and their WTF cycle bfps (and I feel awful for saying it) especially as I feel lime I'm actually getting somewhere with accepting I'm gonna be around for a long time!

Hello to everyone - I'm on phone so can't scroll back but will just say thanks to mummya for all things oracly :)

nickstermum · 09/02/2011 22:00

Ah, feel like the gangs back together :) xxx yes hideously horrible teary day, not helped by wank a and e, but what a wonderful mw ! Having a few days rest and as long as the bean is ok and thriving, I'm happy :) x

mummyabroad · 09/02/2011 21:33

forgot to say hello to Battery hiya mate.

Cheers tony its nice to know its not just me.

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 09/02/2011 21:31

T I know what you mean - I started off all nervous and eager, then have gradually got more fed up with it, and now seem to be spending more and more time in Eeyore's Gloomy Place. I think it's partly seeing so many mc stories and partly just watching everyone else move on! But in any event I need to just start thinking more long term about it and get out of the frenzy a bit...

I hope the beans are getting nice and comfy for you

Ooh caribou exciting news re 8s - will be watching out for more news...

mummya take heart, my lovely, and summon all your energy. You will SMEG and it will be fun

mummyabroad · 09/02/2011 21:14

Nix just read the other thread to see what was going on, you poor thing, that must have been so stressful. Very pleased you got to see your little eye rubbing bean though. xxx

moo 'ello. Hope you are well Thanks for saying that, its so true about saying platitudes (or even worse copying and pasting them)

Just trying to summon up the energy for my shagathon (CD9) Izz and YRMOTB are making me feel daunted by the challenge ahead

tonythetyger · 09/02/2011 21:11

Oh yes and I didn't need the appointment in the end . So maybe going through old threads is productive.

tonythetyger · 09/02/2011 21:10

Mummy I know exactly what you mean and don't feel obliged to stick there if it's depressing you. About 2 months ago I went through all the threads from when I started (no. 2) to write down the lengths of all my cycles in preparation for a fertility appointment when I was going to try and convince them to give me clomid. I noticed that I went from really involved and cheery to gradually more and more lurking and depressed.

It's really offputting when everyone you started with graduates one way or another although one of them it was because she decided to stop trying and adopt instead. I only kept on the list at the end because I liked having a record of my cycle lengths and to look at the ridiculous number of cycles I'd been trying because otherwise I'd lose count. Do not emulate my example! I was thankfully the major exception to the rule on conceiving.

Thanks for the good wishes. Hopefully soon by you too.

CaribouMoo · 09/02/2011 21:03

oh and my sympathies go out to Izz and YRMOTB - sometimes HAVING to have sex is just so fucking tedious!!

CaribouMoo · 09/02/2011 21:01

Oh Mummy, what you've said I know I also felt, as did some of my other good chums. I was on the thread for 6 months before my first bfp, over 9 months before I got pregnant with this little one. It sucks the life out of you having to hear sad stories and at times you can end up giving platitudes, rather than heart felt advice. I think hearing about MC so often also de-sensitises you to the trauma of it a bit, its a shame.

I haven't even lurked on that thread for a while now because they are so many new folk, so in a selfish way, I will be glad to have you all here to keep up with your news. Although I would much rather you were in the freak out room or on the grads thread, where I'm sure you'll be soon.

Quite a dramatic day, which has happily ended well for Nicks and possible happenings for 8s!!!

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 09/02/2011 20:34

yrmotb I'm on the last of my 3-days-on then I can have a night off before last go on Friday - hurray! You're right though, it is exhausting.

I am definitely going to stop temping once I've got my crosshairs this cycle, it's driving me mad!! I have at least stopped temping every time I wake in the nigt then just picking the best in the morning

. Glad you're ok, chica! You must have been so scared - put your feet up now and try and relax till Friday xx

youremindmeofthebabe · 09/02/2011 20:28

Hey!
How are you nix? bit of a scare today? Glad alls well, must have been terrifying.

I think I said that last month bAttery but to my shame I can't stop temping

God, am knackered. This smeg is making me exhausted.

batteryhen · 09/02/2011 20:18

Hi izzy - thanks for the vino :)

I have dropped off the charters thread for the same reason really - but did post there today as there are a couple of people I still feel 'I know'.But actually I recognise more names on this thread xx

Am thinking of not charting from next month, but will see how I feel when the time comes!!

mummya you give such fab advice - but let someone else shoulder it for now xx have a well earned rest !
