30s TTC. It was the BESHt of times,it was the worst of times, it was the age of rummaging in gussets, drinking gin.....

CameliaHumpathon there is NO need for that. I may have been dans la jardin, this is not the point. Not the point at all.

I hope I have made myself clear?

Where does a girl like me get a bucket of wine from these days, doesn't seem to be anyone behind the bar.....

But weren't you sitting in the garden with the laptop last week?

I am still at work. Gah!

Cholene, cholene, cholene, cholene, I'm begging of you, please don't take my man I have no idea about the spotting. Eons ago, I had bleeding around ovulation - am hoping is that, and not the shortest LP in the history of time.

gasping emoticon I have had to WORK so bloody hard all day.

ALL day. Didn't even have any lunch. Pshaw.

Spotting on day 14...what gives PerlNecklace??

Didn't say it was a crush . Just said he was not as minging as he used to be.

I was wondering the same thing. She can't be at work - is the WRONG DAY. Maybe she hates us?

Thirded, or fourthed - whatevs - the fact that not talking about 30s ttc is absoluement fine. After all, there's only so much you can say about it without going wrong in the head.

Speaking of, I am spotting on Day 14. If this continues to period in 12 days time, insult will have been firmly added to injury.

Yeah, she and Gin have been v quiet.... have they snuck off together?

...talking of which, where is Scorps?

Heeeyyyy....since when has veering wildly off the 30ttc topic been a problem round here, gals....I like to think that some super-cleverness will rub off from you lot, one day...

Lovely men are indeed a blessing

I'm glad practicalities are getting sorted, anyway.

No sorry needed as I hope you know really.... if Pisces can talk about her new and, frankly, WRONG crush then you can talk about Real Life for as long as you want.

Fanks everyone. Sorry for constantly going on about entirely non-SWI related stuff, but you're my mates, innit.

HO's headteacher has said he can have the day off tomorrow to drive them down, so we are just trying to arrange that - arguing with bro-in-law over who gets to do it, as he has arranged time off too! Sis and I are lucky to have lovely men to rely on.

StewieGriffin they are going to Basingstoke, so sarf west of That London. Nothing anyone can do really, but thanks.

Bangersandmash! GET BACK HERE!!! I don't know where the other place is

Lyra am so so sorry. Puts my fucking self absorbed moping into perspective. Is there anything practical that would help? I am just norf of That London, I don't know where they are / are heading. But if there IS anything, please do shout. So utterly shite for all of you.

Cho that sounds familiar. My midwife reckons I am due xmas day. That is because she assumes everyone has 28 day cycle and ovs on day 14. I ovd late that month and am therefore due 27 December.

She's gone then

....have explained slightly better elsewhere...

Toodles.

XX

Where are those furry bloody handcuffs when you need them? Quick!

See, you can't leave now we have imprisoned you. You knock her out and I'll chuck her in the Pit and lock the door.

Gah, I truly didnae want that to look attention seeking . I just need a coupla weeks I think. It's all got too much and I'm trying to feng shui my head, if you see what I mean. I'll clearly be in uvverplace tho, stalking you shamelessly

Sounds like a good plan Cam. I always find burying my head in books helps. It drives TG up the wall, but tough tits!

HB don't leave us

Cho me darlin'! Nice to see yez.

Camel that sounds just the absolutely ticket, does that. What didja get ?

Lyra, I hope your Pa gets beautifully looked after, and that the hospital staff keep you properly informed this time. BESHly witchy-woo vibes your way.

Erm, I'm checking out of the Palais just for a bit (because of course my absence would be publicly deplored in a mass show of grief etc. etc.): jobs & studies etc. so up in the air at the mo that aiming for diffment is sort of out of the question, so I feel vaguely fraudulent, and also panicked because I'm not properly TTC and unquestionably ought to be, what with the biological clock clattering away on the shelf. Plus, real risk everything I've worked* for the last four years will go kaput, so need to clear the head a bit & focus or whatever it is successful people do.

Obviously I will be lurking. And equally obviously will prolly be back by 4pm tomorrow max.

And obviously obviously if we manage some SWI, you know, in between watching out for the local porcine flying display team, then I'll be back in sharpish for the 2WOOFL....

*What? STOP IT! I totally have done some work! Like last week, yeah? Sat up till ten. TEN!

Yes Camshaft! Sofa, blanket, books, and some herbal tea so you feel pure and beatific!

Muser Yes, that makes complete sense...everyone I know well knows about it, and I HAD to talk about it...I don't know how people cope if they have no one to talk to! Also the Boyf is a bit rubbish about talking about such things - he is the strong silent type, and he finds my dark humour a bit too much.

Apart from anything else, I want people to know I HAD A BAYBEE..IT WAS MINE AND NOW IT'S LEFT ME...WAAAAH!

Lyra That is just SHIT. I'm so sorry.

Today is the Thread of Tears (thanks, Europe).

I have been out this lunchtime and bought many, many books. I have also cancelled all my social plans for this week. I intend to spend every night sitting on the sofa with trashy literature. Better than bingeing on chocolate.
