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

OOOPS! I meant to be asking SIDEWAYS whether she lives up here! Sorry Sideways. I am crap with names anyway, and today am being spectacularly incompetent, so it was inevitable.

I lived in Bristol for years. Love it. Hearing you talk about Habitat and even Cribbs Causeway is making me homesick!

No JL nearest is Bristol too - Cribbs Causeway - they think we dont need any department stores down here as we are al wurzels!! - Actually am off to Exeter for the day tomorrow (actualy for a Habitat fix!!!) duchesse - can you recommend anywhere nice for lunch??

hey duchesse - yep - nearest one to southwest is Bristol - PITA to get to really - minimum 3 hours from me

You not remotely near Merseyside, Seaside? I have two narrow ones and one wide one. The dark colour. Going free!

I would like some billy bookcases, but I suspect it would be quicker and cheaper to drive to the nearest Ikea and buy some

tea-time on sunday perhaps!

Duchesse, what I meant to say was thanks for the offer but I'll join up myself. See, uttlerly incompentent. And I leave the typos to prove it.

Hmm, Sunshine's abode sounds yummy...

Duchesse, thanks for the Freecycle offer. I'd like to join it myself but appear to be utterly technically incompetent! So, when I click 'Join us' and it takes me through to a yahoo email account setup, do I need to set one up? Ie, can't I use one of my other two accounts?!

Anyone want some Ikea furniture: some billy bookcases and a fairly large TV unit? Trick is you need to come collect from me in the north west. (If you're one of my FTC buddies we could crack open an actual bottle of wine)

Duchesse - How does looking at the threads make you feel? Even if it is painful it may be a necessary part of your grieving and might help you come to terms with stuff - even if you may think you've done so already.
If looking, reading, perhaps participating moves you in any way (good or bad) it may not be a negative thing so long as you feel it is moving you on.
On the other hand, if you feel you are stuck in a stagnant grey cloud of smog, then come and sweat it out here, and leave the other threads alone - it's partly what the hut is here for.

Hmm - stagnant? sweaty? smog? not sure I choose great words there. Hope YSWIM?

tee hee hee

Oh - not heard of that - does it give you one cycle a year without PMT, pain or symptom spotting? Sign me up.

Does anyone use Freecycle? I'm trying to join but it links me to yahoo and I don't want a yahoo account. Is this just what I have to do? (apologies for distinct lack of relevance to this thread!)

Busted!

Impy - you are not allowed to change your name and post 3 times - that's naughty

I bet a quart of vodka on it being after exactly 3 people have said they think there's something in it.

Morning!

Didn't think it was rediculous to post it, Sideways, I thought it would be fun.

I'm in on the sweepstake on speed of ATM's response. Hmmm, £1 on 9 minutes.

I do that too impatience, and inevitably end up swearing at the computer screen in disgust.

I didn't post the thread on spontaneous ovulation. Chickened out after people on here thought it sounded ridiculous.

I still might though, see if it can draw Attila the Meerkat out to give her opinion.

Goodness Sideways, I reckon that's all of us!

BTW, did anyone post an enquiry about spontaneous ovulation? What was the consensus?

(I don't go on any other threads now. Occassionally I do the inevitable and open one titled along the lines of 'I have 7 children already, really really don't want any more, am on the pill, have a coil and use a condom, only had sex once last month during my period and I think I'm pregnant, what's the best way to get rid of it?' or 'Always wanted children but we only decided last week that we'd now go for it, now my boobs are massive, I'm throwing up and I've had a blue line, do you think I'm pregnant?' Don't know why I do it to myself, it's like I'm drawn to the self-harm. Ho hum.)

Morbid as in

"suggesting an unhealthy mental state or attitude; unwholesomely gloomy, sensitive, extreme"

Duchesse, I don't think i could stay away from the old antenatal thread if I were you. I would be very aware that the baby would have been born about now, and I'm sure I couldn't stop wondering how different today would be if it had. Hell, I do that anyway and I've never had a due date. I'll be popping in here throughout the day if you still want to have a chat. (Not 'pooping in', as accidentally typed: that would be an altogether different contribution...Might take your mind off things though )
