The No1 Babies Detective Agency

New ttc no1 thread.

BTW if anyone knows where those no1 babies are I'd like to know! If I was a real detective I think I would have been sacked by now!

Ready - I've been with you with some of the cute things you've found. But getting excited over safety gates? I think you may have lost it a little. Though I am a flat dweller so maybe I just wouldn't understand.

Gilly - good timing. The sun is out and Edinburgh is looking pretty good at the moment. (Is a bit windy too, so bring a jumper). I have mostly been avoiding the whole thing, but I hope you have a great time.

safety gate

Anyone seen these? My friend has one, they look far nicer than the prison bar ones ... I know I am mad for looking at these things.

Ready · 24/08/2007 12:50

Very true Nomore - I would be laughing along with Mother Nature though, if she decided now was the right time!!

Mother nature/fate/whoever controls these things has a poor sense of humour, lets hope it pays off for you Ready

Although now I think about it I have difficulty thinking of any Disney hero who isn't disappointing. And I realise that I know too many of them... I know my dd thinks Prince Eric from the little Mermaid is much less nice than the beast too.

gilly - Have a wonderful time at the Fringe. Who will you be seeing? I would love to go one year. No, not staying in Manchester. If DH is not sorted we will stay with his mum for a bit. Everything we own in storage!! Perfect time to be pregnant Sense the sarcasm anyone?

He's just so wimpy as a man, and so manly as a beast! I think I'd be disappointed if I was Belle!

He IS much less fancible as a man isn't he?!! Glad that's not just me, he also has an enormous nose. Not that I have anything against big noses in general, just that it makes him even less attractive as a man, and I would be a disappointed Belle.

I'm with your DD - the dress is lovely
When the beast becomes a man he's much less fanciable, don't you think? He's quite weedy as a man

How cute sybil

Not at all Nomore - I am a total nerd. I love organising things. Packing is great fun!

PiggyPenguin · 24/08/2007 12:27

while I'd love to say that she has that emitional range at 3, I think it was the beauty of the dress that was the big thing for her. She was very disappointed when he turned back into a man at the end.

Personally, I think some films that make you cry should be banned. I watched AI recently and cried like a baby all the way through. At the end I had piggy eyes and that whole snot/snorting thing going on. I will NEVER watch it again - it was too heart rending. And dh thought I was hilarious. Nice.

sybil That bit gets me crying too . First time I saw it was when I was babysitting aged about 14 and kids (aged about 8&6) wanted to watch it and then I had to hide the fact I was crying from them. Anything selfless like that makes me cry - was crying at John-Paul on Hollyoaks last week!

I think I have passed it on to my 3 year old daughter. She cried at Beauty and the Beast yesterday. It was when the beast let her go home to find her father. i asked why she was crying anhd she said, he's so nice letting her keep that lovely dress.

bless her.

I probably have cried at an advert too, don't know which ones, but I wouldn't put it past me to do so!
How's the packing going? Hope that's not making you want to cry

I already have it in my genes. My mum cries at adverts!!! I am not joking

toomuch Sorry about the bonging (or lack of bonging) Maybe it's not too late and you can make up for it over the weekend. ((hugs))

I was crying at the press conference of the parents of the 11-year old who got shot in Liverpool (on TV, I wasn't there) - his Mum just said 'that's my baby, my baby' and I was in tears.
I cry openly at TV programmes and films - it's very cathartic. If I want a really good blub then West Side Story does it for me everytime. DH just ignores me!

toomuchtimeonline · 24/08/2007 11:36

Can you imagine what we are going to be like once pregnant or with babies if we cry at tv programs!

Ready · 24/08/2007 11:23

toomuch - I was watching with DH, and had to sneakily wipe away a few tears at that point. Really sweet.

toomuchtimeonline · 24/08/2007 10:43

Morning all,

Glad you're feeling more positive Poppy - MN is a saviour isn't it!

Ready - I was feeling really down last night so I watched brothers and sisters and was nearly crying at the end when he played the tape - how sad am I!!?

Nomore - very at your gym visits! I really need to start going!

Everyone else - where are you all? It's a bit quiet on here..

I'm very today! I'm CD 15 but have not bonged since Tuesday as circumstances have worked against me so now I feel like I've really missed the boat this month - also DH is out tonight so probably won't bong tonight either! I feel really depressed - it's bad enough to not get a BFP but it feels like such a waste to not even have the slim hope of a BFP..

.. anyway rant over!! Hopefully I'll perk up soon - it is Friday afterall..

You're right, MN has really opened my eyes to the number of women who suffer early m/c and never tell anyone

Whoops I meant struggled to get BFP again (as I know those who have MC have gone through the same feelings)

poppy75 · 23/08/2007 18:38

Hi nomore - I actually seem quite normal after my mad MN rants. It is so good as I don't know anyone else around me who has struggled after MC, I guess lots of people don't tell you.

This month I'm going to make a point of doing everything I can't do when pregnant or have baby. Including wear skinny jeans, have fake tan, drink lots of alcohol, have loads of lie-ins the list is endless!!!
