Ah it makes sense, I really am a malteaser.

WonkyDonk87 · 28/04/2018 19:20

I'm pretty sure they were just welcome messages, mine was anyway.

MrsJackHackett · 28/04/2018 19:10

Ye I got 2 messages via email that said I'd been mentioned but can't find anything. Must be going mad. Grin

She brought her own tea towel to dry the washing up with. Blush

WonkyDonk87 · 28/04/2018 18:03

You didn't do anything wrong at all! Are you on the website or app? I think you were tagged using the '@' symbol (poss by me) and it just pings a message to let you know someone's mentioned you specifically

MrsJackHackett · 28/04/2018 17:56

I remember arguing with a sonographer about dates, saying I'm def 'x' she said well by the leg length measurement I think they do, you're def 'y' I was confused how I'd nearly lost a week.

Then with PFB they managed to mix something up and I got an extra scan as they had me down as 16wks when only past 12. Got a free piccie for the stress too.

The thing I hated about EPAU was how they'd say oh you again, like it was my favourite place to be. I'd be there praying everything was ok when it seldom was. Even the sonographer made a sharp comment once, she meant well but it didn't come across like that.

MrsJackHackett · 28/04/2018 17:46

It said people had replied to me but can't see anything. Did I do something wrong?

SoozC · 28/04/2018 16:57

Oh, I gave it a scrub this morning before she turned up. Too embarrassed to let her see it in its normal state! She's nice about cleaning, says I'm too busy working (true) but it does make me feel weird she drives to see us and then cleans!

I'm okay, thanks, Bubble. Still on knicker-watch and every cramp makes me so scared. Still 2 weeks away from when I lost it last time. Going to tell my acupuncturist on Tuesday, hopefully she can help it stick and calm me down at the same time!

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 16:52

Nobody cleans anything in my house except me haha I’m such a control freak when it comes to housework. Hope things are going okay Sooz

WonkyDonk87 · 28/04/2018 16:49

I don't know if I'd be chuffed or offended if my MIL cleaned my bathroom 😂😂😂

SoozC · 28/04/2018 16:41

My in-laws have cooked. I've been out today and they've been visiting us at home. They will be there when I get back, apparently with "top nosh". I will then have to make small talk instead of slobbing in front of the TV (having some cramps so feeling a bit worried)! Can't complain though, MIL always cleans the bathroom while she's here!

WonkyDonk87 · 28/04/2018 16:41

That sounds AMAZING. I'm very jealous! To be fair, I wouldn't say an immediate no to Bubble's tea either though

I shall be doing bugger all because acupuncture wipes me out and I'm pretty damn lazy and a terrible cook

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 16:39

I’d kill for a Chinese right now 😩

Chooklass · 28/04/2018 16:38

That sounds like my perfect meal @LimpLettice ! Unfortunately I can't be assed with that level of cookery tonight. I've got eggs, spinach and sweet pots (obvs), so might do a frittata type thing.

LimpLettice · 28/04/2018 16:35

Yep. Dd has a sleepover at a friends so early dinner, they've just gone in. White wine in the gravy and apple strudel for pudding Grin

WonkyDonk87 · 28/04/2018 16:33

DH has suggested enchiladas (meh) as it's a Saturday..... but I think I'll go to Limp's house instead - bloody love a roast! Are you doing proper yorkies?

Chooklass · 28/04/2018 16:31

@Limp! My mouth is watering - love a roast!

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 16:31

I reported it. Didn’t read any more of it but there’s no need for nastiness and targeted bullying. Glad it’s gone now :)

LimpLettice · 28/04/2018 16:30

Roast chicken, yorkies, parsnips, goose fat roasties and assorted greens. Dd demanded coz its it like fecking winter.

Chooklass · 28/04/2018 16:28

Aw, sorry @Bubblegum89 ! I can't taste much just now either so thinking something spicy.

Looks like MN have deleted that thread at last.

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 16:25

Ready salted crisps and jelly for me chooklass haha the joys of tonsillitis. Not very inspiring I know.

Chooklass · 28/04/2018 16:18

Yes, it's the worst thread I've seen for nastiness!

What's everyone having for dinner tonight? I need inspiration!

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 16:16

Wonky you mean, you’re not a bitter old hag?! Get off this thread! Tbh we’ve had worse, I don’t know if you were on the threads when some random person came on and started saying that we were bitter cows and she was glad our ovaries were all shrivelled up whilst hers were working perfectly etc etc. She was a delight

WonkyDonk87 · 28/04/2018 16:12

God this whole site can get barmy sometimes. There are some truly brilliant/funny/supportive/informative bits and then others that get wicked nasty.

I've always felt that the purpose of this thread was for support/advice and a safe place to shout your effing and jeffing do it doesn't spill out onto other people. I certainly don't feel anything negative towards other women, kids or not. Feel a bit miffed that we're being tarred as bitter old hags who can't be happy for other people. Angry

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 16:10

What a way to spend a Saturday, aggressively slagging off people you’ve never met on the Internet 😂 If said poster is watching this thread now, I’m flattered that you would do such a thing.

Paranormal I think I said something like that on the thread. I’ve had an unplanned pregnancy which happened whilst on the pill. I have nothing against people who can get pregnant easily (even if I get frustrated that I now can’t) Someone who falls easily doesn’t take anything away from me being infertile. I genuinely don’t think I was nasty in my post but hey ho. I just thought trying to plan conception based on what month you want your kids birthday to be is stupid and hardly a conception issue
