Just Shagging Part 10; No science or skill, JS at will!

Morning all!
School open today and it is raining again so goodness knows what will happen next
persuasion I shoot TERRIBLY so maintain that "I prefer to work the dogs" rather than humiliate myself. DH shoots and is pretty good as well so that compounds my shitness :o
south he would either be gamekeeper or shoot captain. And what a responsibility that would be! DH is also slightly wavering away from camping (must be the relic in them!) so we have taken to only camping in lovely weather and in beautiful places, thereby staving off the inevitable time he puts his foot down and refuses to go anywhere without an en-suite :)
And geocaching is a type of treasure hunt using hand held GPS devices (we have our own but loads of phones have a fairly decent one built in) You go to the website (www.geocaching.com) and find one near you by putting in your postcode/ town etc. The co-ordinates will come up, you put them into your GPS and off you go. The caches can be anything from a tiny micro (about the size of your little finger nail) to big tupperware boxes full of goodies (plastic tat that DS exchanges for his own plastic tat) Caches are placed EVERYWHERE and people often place them in places that you would never have visited- we have discovered some of the most beautiful places right on our doorstep. There will be a logbook inside which you sign to show that you have found the cache, then you log it on the website when you get back home. It sounds really sad when I describe it like that but we like to be out and about, it is free and it gives us a purpose rather than aimless wandering :)
Oh and we JS'd last night :o

south I love BINTM too...although I think Elle McPherson seems to be trying really hard to beat even Tyra Banks in the smug, annoying, self important tv show host category! Love love love Julien Macdonald though.

We all have a nice varied bunch of hobbies don't we! I can imagine how a meet up would go - us lot sitting round a camp fire, wrapped up in patchwork quilts, munching on cupcakes, swapping gardening tips, looking forward to a lesson in geocaching and shooting the next day :o

ooo Jazz patchwork and cross stitch is what I was thinking of picking up when I get my BFP. I love the idea of making my own patchwork quilt cover or a throw. I used to cross stitch a lot when I was at school - my mum's brilliant at it so used to watch her and learn. I hope to cross stitch for the baby IF and WHEN I get preggers.

erm yes what is geocaching topB? I love camping but DH is a bit of a wimp when it comes to the flies and bugs that come and say hello in the tent!

hi yank and practising

woman sorry ERTD got you. Crap isn't it. Mines cleared off again now but due to work there's no chance of us JSing before friday. Hopefully that's still before the most important bit!

Welcome back kitten and welcome to the gang to the newbies!

south I'm showing my ignorance but what is BINTM?

Hobbies, hmmm. I read a lot, bake and garden a bit, and shoot (clay pigeons, and not very well at that), oh and am a full time slave to my cat!

Ooh yes I love to camp too. DH is a big wimp fair weather camper though so we don't do it as much as I'd like.

What is geocaching? I've heard it mentioned loads but never worked out really what it is or how it works!

jazz cd = cycle day. You start counting on the first day of ertd

I don't think I have green fingers... Unless it can pretty much take care of itself it dies in my house! Thankfully not the same thing happens with babies...

Hi everyone!

I don't really have a lot of hobbies. I read a lot and like to grow flowers, but I'm pretty crap at it. DH grows them really, I just water them and say "ooh that looks pretty!" :o I like to bake and plan parties with themes. I like hiking and going to ice hockey games when I get a chance.

Name: CheerfulYank
Lives: Minnesota, USA
DS: 1DS, age 5 (well, almost. Nine days til his birthday!)
TTC: About three weeks?

I forgot earlier! My interests are wide and varied and I flit like a butterfly from one to the other (or at least I did before DS was born!)
Now I love to cook (reasonably well) and bake (with varied results due to my dreadful impatience!) I also have a working spaniel who I work in the shooting season and I have just started agility with him to keep his mind active out of the season. I also love to garden, again with varying degrees of success. We camp a lot (though not at all this year and enjoy geocaching much to DS's disgust :o
And practicing I am with you on the flowers indoors thing. Even at our poorest we have always had some sort of flowers inside, even if it was a glass of daisies. Currently we have so many wild flowers that I have a pretty jam jar full of lavender and a selection of wild flowers which pleases me greatly :)

Oh and my hobbies are - patchwork and scrapbooking, some cross stitch and baking but irregularly

Thanks kitten - I like that it's unusual but not too 'out there'
What does cd9 mean?

Hi all,
Welcome red and jazz, As much as we like to think we are all laid back shaggers, it can get a bit mental particularly at that time of the month, waiting for a BFP!

Hmmm hobbies.... cooking, include baking (but not helpful for the waistline)
sometimes a bit of cross stitch and reading.
Watching DH tend the garden as I cut the blooms to die in a vase inside(i just love having flowers inside).
Allowing DD to grow in to a well rounded person (does that count?)

Sounds pretty pitiful, (not to self, get a life!)

I was away over the weekend, and pretty sure I missed the fertility boat, plenty of pant snot at the wrong time! Oh well, guess I will stick around with you ladies for another month! I will still attempt to seduce him tonight as a last ditch attempt!

horse its great fun, I love doing things like that with DS. Sadly he can be a bit of a square sometimes and needs egging into things, which I am more than happy to do :)
south, you me and ribs are in danger of becoming positive relics in the TTC stakes :(

Ahh top that does sound like a lovely day! Fingers crossed for more puddle jumping tomorrow! It's been pretty rainy here in Sussex but nothing like the madness that other places seem to be getting.

nicola yes definitely raring to go! It's been a bit of a roller coaster few weeks but I think we're back on track now :)

jazz is such a cool name, I do mental jazz-hands in my head whenever I read it :o

We just snuck in a sneaky js....bit early (cd9) but good to keep in practice I think!

Can I be added please too:

Who's js tonight?!

Name: Jazz
Location: Bristol
Dc: DD 10 months
TTC: a few weeks?

Southlundun - my name is actually jazz but on mumsnet I'm anonymous and I'm also not a mouse (say what I mean)

This is our first month of trying - my cycles are umm not sure how long they are actually! I did breastfeed but stopped about 4 months ago - does that affect things?

We've been jsing EOD for the last 2 weeks. Getting closer to the dreaded 2ww now. I am so anxious and nervous. I just want to see a positive pregnancy test so bad!!! And the weather is a not exactly warm and dry enough to do any gardening! Arrghhh! I'm going to need some hand holding for the next few days.

I promise I will get better!

Name:redstrawberry
