Hut of Gl/Doom, part IV - FTC, because that's what we do....

Et voila.

This Hut is more of a Bedouin or desert tent than anything too gloomy. We shall supply our our own gloom.

Soreheart- you are completely allowed to feel like that.

Evening, or rather, morning. Just to bring the Hut back to its proper level, I'm feeling sad and a bit desperate about the thought I may never have a child. It just doesn't seem fair. I'm fed up of feeling like a freak. I know I should be positive, love myself. And I will. I'm even fed up with people saying, 'I really want a third child'. I just think, 'Shut up you ungrateful Twerp, are you trying to make me feel worse?'. Apologies to those in this position, I just can't get past my own self-pity sometimes. Too much time to think.

Congrats to the graduates, this miserable old hut is becoming a lucky place - me thinks someones been spiking your drinks with that sparkly evil dust!! I'm really happy for the bfps, it seems more deserving somehow to those who've had a stuggle on. i leave a vat of homemade xmas pudding rum for you all, i know tis not the season but it's really tasty, and loads of black forest gateaux.

Blimey (has vision of Duchesse driving off road with a ferret wearing a seatbelt in the passenger seat).

Just fished a bloody ferret or pine marten or weasel or something out of my guinea pig run. Have no idea what to do with it. Farmer neighbour suggests taking it in the car to the forest and releasing it, but according to the internet, they can cover 3 miles in a night. Eek...

I dream of the day when cautious, common sensical pessimism rules on ante-natal boards. I already perceive that the formerly inappropriately bouncy tone of the conception board has come down a notch or two. Or maybe I'm just not going near the madly perky ones...

Way to go Beanie! Are they really ready for our particular brand of optimism in Ante-Natal?

OP posts:
beansprout · 28/05/2007 15:29

Seaside - that sounds like a fab idea. Am torn between trying to feel optimistic and the feeling that my body isn't quite up to the job and something is bound to go wrong.

Will start it in ante-natal...

seaside72 · 28/05/2007 13:46

how about a new hamman hut thread here and another new hut graduates thread for those with unbelieveable BFP's?
"hut graduates- STC but in denial - when is it all going to go wrong"??

Soreheart · 28/05/2007 10:08

Oh Beansprout, well done! And lovely. Take it very easy.
Did a new thread start?

beansprout · 27/05/2007 21:45

Abso-bloody-lutely!!

sideways · 27/05/2007 21:04

beansprout - . Brilliant news. Can we feel anxious together?

beansprout · 27/05/2007 20:32

Hi everyone, I also have some news - got a bfp yesterday. Feeling very anxious of course but am taking things slowly.

The move sounds like a good idea!

lissie · 27/05/2007 17:54

ooh thanks sideways

duchesse, why not!

I feel that becoming bored with our desert tent. Shall we move to a hamam today?

OP posts:
sideways · 27/05/2007 17:24

Just wanted to say thanks for all the congratulations .

Feels a bit weird thinking I shouldn't be in the Hut anymore. I definitely won't be going near any ante-natal threads for quite a long time, so I feel kind of homeless at the moment. I'll just wander aimlessly round the board for a bit...

I made some special gooey chocolate cake and some very potent pina coladas, if anyone's interested.
