Bunny heading to Scotland in the campervan with the dog, going wherever the weather looks best! ^^

barking well done re dresses. I loved decorating the tables! My aunty made her wedding dress and her bridesmaid. They're very dated now but imagine a big aubergine merangue with puffy sleeves! Very complicated!

boodle I've done it to merk and charming now! Bet I do it again as well! Hence why I thought it was me when happy said it!

Hello! Good boxing day peeps?

Where you going barking?

I think my first name would out me to anyone I knew based on the assumption that if you're reading this thread you're probably ttc, and (for me at least) when you're ttc you're very acutely aware of all friends who are also ttc, or even just might be, so if any of their names came up I'd immediately be trawling for clues to check if it was them!!
I'm definitely a lot more common than you though Boodle, I actually personally know two other people with the same name and surname as me!

Christmas well and truly over. Looking forward to going away on Saturday!

Hmm...I still think my first name would do a good job of outing me but yes, it would be very unlucky to have someone who knew me reading at that exact time before there was time to get it deleted.

I like to look at the 'popular baby names' each year and in recent years at least, there's been less than 10 registrations of my first name. We are a rare breed!

Well, good job it was me not anyone else then! I like to think it's anonymous and would never actually post under my real name as a username, but if I was that concerned I wouldn't be talking about all the non ttc stuff that could out me.

I do worry though, because it's so stoopid of me to do, and the thought of someone making that mistake with me, well, as you can imagine, it makes my blood run cold!

Boodle, don't worry about it, anyone who actually knows me would be able to spot me a mile off anyway with all the stuff I talk about, I'm not exactly overly careful to keep any identifying information off! Although happy's post now looks like the culprit!

kitty you were too late with the cotton, I managed to get loads more of the dress done this morning and all the scary fiddly bits that I was worried about messing up are pretty much sorted . It's mostly finishing off, one more sewing session should do it. A mate offered to help me pin so I might take her up on that and get her help to make sure the hem is all even. Also decided on more table decorations/favours although haven't run all of it past DP yet. It's made me realise how ridiculous work had got last half term. I'd decided I wasn't going to do anything to the tables at all apart from put tablecloths down, but now I've had space to think I've got all sorts of ideas for things I want to do!!

It's so easy to do though isn't it? Maybe we'll just have to use our mn names on fb?!

Pants. Have reported it. So sorry to whom it concerns.

YES! It wasn't me (for a change)!!! I did actually have to go back and check though lol

happy ha silly me! I did know that as well from all the canapé talk!

Reading the thread this morning has made me chuckle, fecking meerkat babies (also missed that one barking) and not getting pg unless you eat sprouts and raw meat!

Right I'm off to decorate the new thread

Well she's quite right Happy, it's well known that there's never been a pg vegetarian. I don't know why you're not eating nothing but raw meat (and sprouts), you're just not trying .

Kitty I worked on the dress on christmas eve but did nothing yesterday apart from lay on the sofa with my feet up browsing on the ipad! I did go for a run before food but it was short and slow!

I've not even opened work email since the start of the holidays .

Boodle, yes, that makes me feel a lot better!!!

barking
ha you'll ow me and my typos! My best was when I told someone they needed a wang but replaced the 'g' for a 'K' oops!!!

Good news on the dress front but seriously, you make me feel tired just reading about you! Don't you need a rest after that well known stage production that we're not meant to be talking about???

happy ah you've got sprouts all wrong! You might feel differently if you'd had some if mine fried in bacon...

Speaking of meerkats, how dull was corra yesterday?! The highlight if the night being Leanne getting slapped!

II might be wrong, Barking, but I think the baby meerkat was found on the doorstep of meerkat mansion so they've adopted it... Does that make it more tolerable?!

Excuse me for interrupting and going off on a tangent but when did the f"#ing meerkats have a f^/ing baby?!?!?
Has this advert been on a while and I've just happily missed it up to this point?!

I had 4 sprouts! So when will I be of then?!?

Thanks for dropping in from the copter pg ladies x

Sorry for those having a blue Christmas! x
