Martians 2014, thread 11. KEGELS!

[LyraSilvertongue]

Shiny new thread, ladies :)

Has the Martian Mole struck again?

Yep, mee too for the flour...nice thick gravy

I'm actually getting a takeaway curry tonight...DP is attempting to cheer me up.

I asked for it to be removed pram

Pram your recipe is the same as mine!

All this censorship is getting a bit daft isn't it. Hope you're ok Kara

Sorry, cross post Kara

No cottage pie in Broughty Ferry tonight I made OH pork meatballs with gravy and garlic&herb crusted tatties. He has strange tastes! I'm in bed already so no supper for me tonight.

Thanks Guys - just such a shame that practices vary so much from area to area and hospital trust to hospital trust. Such a simple thing which I thought would be lovely for bonding and just another thing to assure me all is ok. And denied because it is not standard practice.

All this talk about food is making me hungry! And i'm still at work... and then an hour home in London traffic. Grr. Tonight is supposed to be date night but I need to pack for holiday which isnt going to be simple as I appear to have a rather large belly!

Have a fab holiday mimi! Where are you going?

Kara feel better soon.

No cottage pie for us tonight. That's later on this week. I'm looking forward to it though! The kids are tucking into their dinner and I'm jealous but I'm waiting for dh to come home. He is picking up his car from his dads garage where it had an mot, so he had to get the train today and the one he was meant to come home from work on was cancelled so he won't be back til the kids are in bed.

One more hour of tutoring then bed... One more hour of tutoring then bed...

As you were Martians, just withering to myself, trying to get through the next hour!

ScumbagMarbieAndTravellerKen, do you use the BBC Good Food recipe then? It has red wine in it, too, but I omit that.

We're going to pizza express and bowling with some of DP's friends. I just want to eat cottage pie in bed. :(

I do indeed PramInACaravan. That and my ridiculously large collection of books!

We're having chicken fanjitas when OH gets home, I've not prepped them yet though, still in bed and need to have a shower to de-stink and steam this cold out of me.

The mw didn't listen to the FH at my 17 week appointment either mimi not to worry though as there is no reason to listen in, sorry to sound all practical but if they couldn't find it what would you do? I know I'd freak out, unless you're concerned and had pain/bleeding try to trust in your body and pregnancy being a natural occurrence, women have done this for centuries way before scans and dopplers. I have access to dopplers all day at work but have not listened in, no reason to at this early stage :)

Thanks for the cottage pie recipes ladies. I'll make one soon.

No way could I cook anything after work though. Too knackered. DH has made cheese toasties, gone to Asda and will be doing eggs on his return. I want soft boiled but he won't believe me that it's OK if they are lion stamped!

Wish there was a Turkish restaurant in Kendal. We've got nothing beyond the usual Italian/Indian/Chinese.

I forgot Worcester sauce!

A proper cottage pie takes 2¼ hours from prep to finish, so I'm not surprised you can't face it when you get home from work, Foxy. Save it for a Sunday afternoon.

MaybeIt'sBecauseI'mAnIlliterateWorkshyTwat, the majority of my dishes are sourced from t'BBC Good Food website.

Where is Rosyran?

What a day. Oscillating between irrational rage and verge of tears. Nothing particularly happened (thank goodness) but I feel like I've been through the wringer. It's all because of overdoing it: work, family and no sleep.

I want cottage pie. But it's fusilli Bol from the freezer for us, in front of bake off on iplayer then bed.

Pram and Apprentice I had stuff to say but the others beat me to it. for you both.

Lyra, thanks for being so lovely before (and everyone else who lied so beautifully about me being a good person)

I honestly love you lot.

Ice, we love you on 'ere, so let your stupid hormones do their thing. Enjoy guffawing at Mel on GBBO when she makes her 'ginger dick' comment. You'll be tee-heeing, I promise. Thanks for the flowers; pissy dog daisies are my absolute favourite.

Been a while again lol! So busy at work, but am keeping up to date on Facebook! This thread has made me hungry, so ive made macaroni cheese with fried streaky bacon and spring onion through it topped off with tomato abd cheese browned under the grill

pramzilla I personally think your an ersehole.

My auntie lives in broughty ferry Kara

Pram, it's all been said but you should be proud of your past, it's made you who you are and has the best ending!!

Ice you deserve an early night and a good sleep. I hope things are brighter in the morning!

Dh returned home with bags full of treats. His mum had taken him to the co op and gone round going "do you want some of these?" And chucking it all in. She's a bloody star she is. We have chocolate, juice, beer for dh, cheese, crisps, cereal bars. Basically stuff I never buy because we don't have the extra money. What a great MiL I have.

We were going to have cottage pie too, only the kids decided they 'don't like it', so we had mince, mash and veg instead

April, your tea sounds like the dog's ballsack. Yummy!

Ice, I meant Sue not Mel!

Kara, you cheeky minge.

Balldrick, that cracked me up, did that! Kids..

All hail MummyPig's MIL!

Bloody hell - 5 pages into the new thread already??? Have skim read to the best of my ability re. annoying exes, hypnobirthing, thread censorship and 2nd trimester mood-swings etc. Can empathise with a few of those. Work is still mental hence lack of posts plus got 1st hot flush today in middle of office (madwife - is that normal?? I though that was something you got in the menopause??)
