The Hut of Gl/Doom Part V- for the unapologetically despondent

I've got a microwave hotpot (hot-to-trot-pot)

how about a tart of some sort or a nice big sausage? or even a battered sausage? or a bite of rump steak?

I am wondering what to have for dinner. Something slutty

Enjoy your RL beer impy you've deserved it!
To the rest of you miserable old sluts - budge up, I'm settling in for the night. The Hut is the place for me..no caravan of crap will take my hut away...I love my slut hut..

We are hard core, miserable Sluts. SOMETIMES!
Impy, have a RL beer on me. Personally, I'm off to read Hp and the Dh as I've only just got my paws on a copy (nice girl but a bit slow )

Ahhh.. Blumin' well done, Impy. Hurrah.

Oh sod. I wrote a lovely little post and lost it. Poo.

Huts for Sluts. Chortle. Love it. I will not repeat the next thought that came to mind.

I love the Hut. I haven't always needed it, as some of you know, I am impossibly positive for the most part. But to know the hut is there, for when everything just gets too much. To know I can pop in, mope, and know that I am not alone in my despondency. Well, it's massively helpful. And I thoroughly enjoy lurking even when chipper!!

So I am pleased that Duchesse started it all those months ago! (where is Duchesse by the way??)

It's a shame that there was friction - can't believe I missed it, I love a good old fracas. Just kidding. Not stirring. Honest.

The Hut Rocks.

[steps down off soapbox]

Can someone make sure Lissie gets home ok? I need to leave her with this potent bottle now because I'm off to a real pub with real beer. I'll one for each of you

yes please

Here's a bottle that'll prob suit you better. It's much stronger with a real bitter aftertaste. And if you have too much you'll be huddled under the table sobbing. Another?

lol impy. i went in, said hi, defended the ethos of the hut but its not my bottle of gin really.

Long live the hut. It's been my lifesaver so many times. Thank goodness for the arm-patting and drink-refilling that is what I really need rather than well-intended morale-boosts. Someone in the caravan said someone on here had told them to pull their socks up. Sounds VERY unhutlike - can't have been a true huttee. If someone told me to pull my socks up on here I'd throttle them with said socks.

(Ready, the Caravan of Crap. I only read the first few posts where people said they'd felt intimidated by the Hut dwellers. It's probably a fab thread for those who aren't as miserable as me - I haven't read any more so really don't know. Horses for courses, Huts for sluts. Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

Thanks girls (not-smiling-but-pleased emoticon)

that sounded blase and i didnt mean it to. i like the hut. i belong here. on another thread i gave a list of ttc things that i was fed up of. the biggest one for me was staying optimistic. i dont want to be upbeat. i have been upbeat for all my pgs. in feb i convinced myself that everything would be ok and it wasnt. im tired of pretending now and smiling at peoples BFP's/scan pics/birth announcements because at various times in the year i know "that shouldve been me"

My mum is the worst at that (yeah, I know - me, me, me ) she always says "it'll be ok, it'll happen, you just need to relax" I just want to scream "WTF do you know!" But that would be terribly unfair!

Tell me about the caravan?? What's occurred?

impy well done big brain! really pleased for you.

re the caravan/hut thing i think people misunderstood the purpose of the hut. they were expecting another ttc thread and didnt understand that here we FTC instead.

some people felt they weren't welcome in the hut (mainly I think because they were too happy but they said they were made to feel that they hadn't suffered enough to 'qualify' for the hut) so went and set up the caravan as an alternative. Personally I like the hut as it is and feel it's where I belong on days like this. If you want the rest of the story find the hut before this one and read through the most recent posts.

I think there is a point we all come to where we really can't stand anyone else saying 'it'll happen' and you just want someone to say 'I know how you feel, it's crap isn't it' Was telling my Mum about the hut and she thought it was good that we're all here to support each other. She had stopped asking how ttc is going as she doesn't want to upset me, but we had a heart to heart and I said I wanted her to ask but not to tell me it would be ok and to let me be sad sometimes. I think that's what we do for each other.
impy well done you smart-arse!

No smiling, but congrats on being a smart-arse Impatience - at the risk of sounding twee - You go girl!

I am looking for the caravan....

LIBERATING!!! That's the word I have been looking for all sodding day! Thanks petal!

What's all this about a caravan? I had a little break from MN, did I miss something? Someone fill me in, or do I have to traul through this thread?

I called myself a smartypants then spelt categorised all wrong. Oops.

yes, I am officially a complete smart-arse: A's all round! (I think they ARE easier than when I did them 15 years ago...) And my beautiful wonderful sister is coming back from her extensive travels and will come and stay with us. So I'll have some of that gin to celebrate

I looked at the caravan thread when it first opened and felt really surprised that people had been offended and upset by us. I know there was a bit of friction recently when Duchesse outlined a few preferences, but people were refering to old stuff. I've never noticed anything offensive so I'm surprised and confused. Perhaps we don't realise our own strength! Er, not that I'd be at all pleased to have the power to upset people... I think it's safe to carry on saying what y ou want to say now we're already catagorised as a bunch of meanies.

apologies for poor typing, it's more of a stream of thought than anything too composed. if I went back and read what I'd written I think I'd delete it for being a waste of type.

oh yes, more gin. I like the hut, I know it's here when I need it rather than being a regular (though I do lurk sometimes). The hut is meant to be a raw dark place, that's what I need. The caravan is still too happy for me, if I'm happy(ish) I'll go on my usual ttc no1 thread where my friends are.
Ready ((hugs)) I know how you feel, there was a month a while ago that we didn't try properly and it actually felt quite nice not to be thinking 'could I be pg?' at the end of it, it was quite liberating!
impatience go on share your news, but no smilies!
soreheart we're under gynae now, I'm on 2nd cycle of Clomid after 20 months of ttc with no joy.

I've been peeking at the Not-Quite-Doom-Hut Caravan thread. It's been a bit of a wake-up call for me to realise that people are frightened by goings-on in the Huts .....
Could it be that I am genuinely quite a hard, fed-up person? I've never been in the least bit offended - just understood the need to blow off steam and write things we feel we can't say in RL. Hmm.... maybe I'm tougher than I thought. Feel like a weepy marshmallow most of the time!
More pink gin, anyone?
