where it is peaceful and clean, and no one puts on CBeebies, and there are whole rooms full of beanbags, and massive oversized white dressing gowns, and underfloor heating, and a team of chefs waiting to make you whatever random thing you decide you fancy, and clinking jugs of iced soft drinks, and no one ever, ever makes the whole place smell of fried eggs.

And hammocks in the garden, with cushions. And sweet fresh air. And benches with belly holes cut into them so you can lie on your front.

And you don't have to talk to ANYONE if you don't want to.

And there are entire back catalogues of sitcoms and every film you have ever heard of that you can watch any time you want and never be interrupted.

And a warm swimming pool to loaf around in. With a swim-up olive bar.

And optional yoga classes.

Missed out the magic word alchohol! Magic non baby harming delicious ALCHOHOL!

dappply · 09/02/2012 16:09

And a dippy egg fountain.

[Flicks through brochure]

Do you have a room available from now until the beginning of March please? Am willing to upgrade if necessary. And please may I have a bottle of chilled gaviscon ready on arrival. Oh, and some of those magic sleep-inducing choccies.

Ta.

YANBU I am only 31 weeks and I would love to move in there already. It sounds like total bliss.

thejoanwilder · 09/02/2012 19:13

beanbags? Really..? At 34 weeks I am struggling to get myself off the sofa, let alone a beanbag... Although that might be the enormous amount of cake I have consumed over the last few months...

CoffeeOne · 09/02/2012 19:35

YANBU, sounds like heaven, I'm currently 38+5!

However YABU about the bean bags, unless they were 4 feet tall! Another one struggling to get off the couch Grin

Flisspaps · 09/02/2012 19:44

YABU to say that it should be spent there.

I don't want to go.

I like staying at home, drinking fizzy pop and eating biscuits that my husband brings home as a treat when I send him out to buy boring food.

And I'd miss my bed. I love my bed.

And I can't stand fucking ice in my drinks.

dappply · 09/02/2012 19:46

Yes that why we all need personal gravity controls, then you can sit on as many damn beanbags and sofas as you like.

I'm only 27 weeks, but definitely need it

buggyRunner · 09/02/2012 19:49

There should be Eric northmen lookalikes there to put shoes and socks on!

HaveYouTakenLeaveOfYourCervix · 09/02/2012 19:52

you need the black sea birth camp

one of these days i am going.

CoffeeOne · 09/02/2012 19:53

Ooh I like the gravity control thing! I could roll over in bed and everything.

Chulita · 09/02/2012 19:56

Yanbu, at all.

KittyFane · 09/02/2012 19:59

I want to go.
I look like I'm sbout 6 months pregnant does that count?

recall · 09/02/2012 20:00

And lovely smiley people gently tuck your hair behind your ear and make you special cups of tea Grin

LiviaAugusta · 09/02/2012 20:00

YANBU, can I book my place now? 37+5 and in need of a gavsicon waiter and a cure for restless legs here!

BeeWi · 09/02/2012 20:04

YABU about the hammocks and beanbags; at he point where DH hauls me off our sofa at the moment, so woud probably resemble a beetle stuck on its back, arms and legs waving, if I tried either of those places.

Would also vote or beds made with a hole or some sort of concave middle so that I could have a tummy sleep. Oh tummy sleeps, how I miss you!

Psammead · 09/02/2012 20:05

Thinking about the last couple of weeks of my last pregnancy, your OP actually made me want to cry.

I just want to lay about doing nothing! Oh wait, I am.

I have a pregnancy beanbag, tis a huge beast with a hole in the middle. When DH isn't using it as a gaming chair, I loll in it, revelling in the feeling of being on my front. 'Tis a marvel of modern pregnancy tat, I have to say, and I can get in and out cos I'm on my front so hands and knees. If I got on right-side-up I don't think I'd get out

ShoeJunkie · 09/02/2012 20:55

I'd like to book a room too (38+1)!
I would also like it to be a rule of the retreat that PJ botoms should be worn at all times (the only item of clothing that is comfortable anymore!)

Anonymumous · 09/02/2012 22:17

Isn't that pretty much exactly where Arnold Schwarzenegger ended up in the film Junior?!

soandsosmummy · 09/02/2012 22:49

YANBU. Where's the booking form? where's the website? I want to be there its sonds blissful

FrizzyFrazzled · 10/02/2012 03:04

I am 37+1 with SPD, a demanding toddler and a DH who annoys me no matter what he does... I am nearly in tears of rapture thinking of this place... YANBU. At all.

ChocolateIsAFoodGroup · 10/02/2012 03:14
