Et voila.

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

Where there's a double-entendre* to be found, there will you find me.

*That is one of the French imports into the English language I find utterly mystifying. For a start it's not even a proper word (should be : double-entendu, past participle of the infinitive verb entendre).

I meant cycle but now, on reading it back, I realise how it sounds (sorry sideways)

beansprout · 23/03/2007 19:02

Now, that's got to be worth $29!! I'll take 2 please!

I should imagine that most of the "secret" is "be fertile in the first place".

I'd imagine her bowel motions would be, with all that porridge...

That's obviously not the secret then. Shall we try and guess what it is?

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 23/03/2007 19:00

well, as I said - I am clutching at any straws that I can reach... question is sideways, are you regular???

sideways · 23/03/2007 18:49

I eat porridge pretty much every morning, but I'm still not pregnant...

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 23/03/2007 18:30

will get some tomorrow then, anything worth a try! Know I am prob a bit late with it but as last cycle was 69 days am sure it won't matter too much!

beansprout · 23/03/2007 18:27

Apparently. Lots of MNers have found so. I got some this month but didn't start drinking it early enough.

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 23/03/2007 18:26

ps - does grapefruit juice actually work???

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 23/03/2007 18:25

apparently oats are good for your hormones or something.
last year before I got pg I had a fairly regular 38-40 day cycle (marvellous for me!). I was eating porrige about 5 times a week at the time...
probably all b**cks but I'm starting to get to the straw clutching stage!!!

beansprout · 23/03/2007 18:23

Um, what's the porridge theory?

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 23/03/2007 18:23

BTW - that small piece of info will cost you one glass of baileys each...

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 23/03/2007 18:22

think I'll stick with my porrige theory for now (good for hormones apparently). Might try grapefruit juice too - on CD5 am I too late to start it? (with my cycle CD30 wd probably not be too late...)

beansprout · 23/03/2007 18:21

I like the made up testimonials.

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 23/03/2007 18:21

instead of telling them to get the ebook too
(cynical...moi?)

beansprout · 23/03/2007 18:21

I just don't see what she is going to add to the wealth of advice already out there. Plus she is a cheeky mare for charging.

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 23/03/2007 18:20

and what about the 'satisfied customer' who is "promoting your book to all"
WTF doesn't she just tell her friends???

sideways · 23/03/2007 18:20

Cynics, the lot of you

Think I need to get a grip.

I bet there is a rainbow and a crystal involved too

BeckleSpeckledEgg · 23/03/2007 18:18

(am secretly intrigued tho but my DH would go mad if I spent £15 on a secret - even if it did get us a baby)
