Welcome to the 2.30 from Mumsnet Towers. The fillies have been groomed to within an inch of their lives and are raring to go.

Late entries for the race are required to locate and fill in the BESHtionnaire so that their form can be assessed.

Bring on the stallions!

No no no no, Hypno-doda is enough for me Grin

Virtually holding your hand Bugs, hang on in there [tries not to sound patronising]

Buzzwam update. They definitely hurt, you know. Not just when I grope them on the train. CD26, I think.

It'll be fertility spells off amazon next, cavewitch.

Well I've found Paul McKenna's skinny hypnosis CD has helped me cavey and if you think it'll relax you..... Better than a spell!

LauraPalmerish · 25/06/2012 20:19

Yay to the woo! You could also try the woo-needles, Cavey. I do love a bit of woo (it's the theatre background) and tend to believe in the whole 'relax' theory even though it's incredibly shitty to hear people tell you that 'if you just relax it will happen'

In an effort to try and cheer you all up by giving you the opportunity to laugh at me, I confess that today I have succumbed to the woo Blush

I have bought a hypnosis CD about fertility Blush Blush

I know I can't hypnotise myself pregnant (if only) but I think my stress levels are making things harder. As most of you have probably noticed I'm a bit of a stress head (understatement!) and tend to be "glass half empty" so I figure anything that can help me relax and destress a bit can only be a good thing.

Plus, it only cost £11 Grin

I've ordered it from Amazon so it should be here in the next few days, and in my defence it was reccomnded by another MNer on a very old thread

Hmmm. To the uninitiated it might look as though I just recommended cuddling up to your doctor...Grin

Bugsy - All of you is held by all of us - only one more sleep, sweets. I prescribe GP snuggles and a junk film.

Northey · 25/06/2012 19:33

Just keep breathing, bugs. One hour at a time.

CamelKnees · 25/06/2012 19:23

bugs just a quick one to say I am thinking of you lots and keeping literally everything crossable crossed for you. I have nothing wise to say but hoping, rather irrationally, that sheer volume of good wishes will make a difference.

HaveALittleFaith · 25/06/2012 19:18

Maybe I should count myself lucky I've never met my MIL! Hmm

bugs I know it must be menkul for you. I'm praying for a sticky bean, cling on to the hope that it's only been a bit of brown sludge...

Hello, back from the Emerald Isle. Michael O'Leary was tearing tickets at the boarding gate at 6am which was quite surreal.

ILs v excited which was nice and we talked about them coming over in Nov and Xmas. They are jolly nice and not pushy so I am lucky (I know this even more from MN!)

Bugs I have been thinking of you, I know you are trying to prepare/steel yourself and that is completely understandable. I got a bit sick of everyone telling me it would be ok when I was having bleeds etc so I won't say that but will just say I hope very much you get the news you want and deserve tomorrow. Lots of unbeshly luff.

Ooof no I would hate to have someone moany round me if I was diffed and excited but also tired!

FriendofDorothy · 25/06/2012 17:37

It makes me sound really ungrateful doesn't it?

They are very nice but I am just a bit irritable I think!

HaveALittleFaith · 25/06/2012 17:32

Only 2 days to survive then! Keep going dor

FriendofDorothy · 25/06/2012 17:30

They go home on Wednesday and then we are off to Sark Folk Festival for a few days. I can't wait!

HaveALittleFaith · 25/06/2012 17:23

You'd think she'd be excited for you dor! How long are they with you?

CaveMum · 25/06/2012 16:50

Deep breaths Dor, think of all the positive karma you've got coming your way for putting up with them Grin

How are you doing Bugs?

FriendofDorothy · 25/06/2012 14:04

Honestly! My mother-in-law moans more than anyone i have ever met. It is starting to drive me nuts!

HaveALittleFaith · 25/06/2012 13:11

Will do bugs. Just hoping to get surgery date soon. Can't remember a period of longer than a week in the last three months I wasn't dosed up on painkillers. I'm hoping it's the cure all and I'll get back to normal afterwards! Smile

Have you managed to get any PHd work done lp?

MC is very hard on the menz in a very different way than it is for us - I'm sure that when it happened to you he felt totally helpless. And he's scared to ever be in that situation again.

Sorry for not responding earlier, but I'm so glad you got an insta-referral, Faife.

Good that you had a snooze, bugs. The quicker the time ticks away until your scan tomorrow the better. Keeping stuff crossed.

Yay for being taken seriously, faith, if not for needing an op to flush out the plumbing - never realised that was so common until struggling with the baybee making.

Did I mention that I am so jealous of my obese SIL who's had a baybee win after 1 month of TTC... horrid pg though, but if I could get the kid but not her personality, I'd so swap
