Just Shagging 12th Thread for graduated viroids

999 replies

FurryScoob · 16/09/2014 16:51

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 11th grads thread...celebrating the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed grin

For those that don't know, a 'viroid' is from the original JSing thread 1, where someone was trying to type ladies (in reference to all the JSing ladies), but their phone decided to call us all viroids instead!

The name stuck and we've been the JSing viroids ever since.

The thread we have graduated from is here in its 27th outing.

There is also a Just Mumming thread in postnatal here once your babies come along, or to keep up with the graduated graduates!

There is also a secret facebook group, if you want to join, ask in-thread.

So, roll call below please, viroids! smile

How far are you tabby? And does work and your personal life cross over- if you don't tell them would they find out from friends/ family?

TabbyTurmoil · 29/09/2014 08:37

Can mr la bring you a tablet or laptop to watch something?

TabbyTurmoil · 29/09/2014 08:44

I'm 12 weeks, look like my usual self in the morning but by home time am packing a massive food baby amount of bloating which might give the game away. No cross over with outside friends but I have some good friends there, one of whom guessed weeks ago when I was toying with / pretending to drink a shandy (I neither confirmed or denied, it was a bit awkward as I didn't want to lie, but would like to tell her soon).

RPopz · 29/09/2014 08:44

Cross posted with you La. Didn't realise you'd already said you had a scan today, that's why I asked if you were going back to hosp - with the pain.

splodge77 · 29/09/2014 08:53

So Sorry to hear you're still bleeding la & being stuck in hospital sucks. Hope they look after you & that you get some definitive answers about what's happening soon. Sickness has floored me today & I can't get out of bed. Bit stressed out as I work freelance so if I don't work I don't get paid. Know I should be glad & that nausea is a good sign etc but i feel bloody miserable! Was nothing like this bad last time, maybe being 4 years older makes me 4 times wussier!

Pisghetti · 29/09/2014 09:09

I only told a couple of people at work but now everyone knows Tabby it's the way things happen here! So maybe just tell your boss and people you're close to (and HR obvs).

La don't get mad get Dom? Champion of the ordinary man and woman against rip off merchants? No? You really haven't watched much daytime TV! If you're in a lot of pain can you get an earlier appt?

RPopz · 29/09/2014 09:14

I thought Dominic Littlewood was that kids tv guy... As in Dick and Dom?? Confused Lol

Oooh, the bald guy!!

ZylaB · 29/09/2014 09:46

With regards to weddings, that's why DH and I went to Vegas and then got married in the Grand Canyon. It was all planned before we went so took dress and rings etc, but we went by ourselves. Possibly selfish, but was our day :) saved us from upsetting anyone by doing the wrong thing too hehe.

la Jeremy Kyle always cheers me up lol

KatoPotato · 29/09/2014 09:53

DH and I got married in secret at the local registry office, on Christmas Eve 5 years ago.

His dbro and his girlfriend were out witnesses and we told all family the next day. £115 all in!

JuniDD · 29/09/2014 10:46

Good luck for scan today la.

Hope you feel better soon splodge.

It's still too bloody hot for the pashminas I guess but that's how I held off telling work til 22 weeks. Wink

My mum has been surprisingly hands-off about our unmarried status and no one has asked, apart from an ex-colleague. It's better than before I was pg!

Also had a tour of delivery suite and the MLU yesterday. One of the rooms in the MLU was TINY, like a prison cell!! But at least it's an option, must be grateful.

I can't bear daytime TV so have been reading/MNetting/playing flash games on leave. An amazing waste of time!

TabbyTurmoil · 29/09/2014 11:59

It is definitely too warm for pashminas in our office! I have two concerns about waiting to tell work :

  1. There are already two pregnant women in the team and I don't want any other secret preggos getting in ahead of me (feel bad enough about the situ already although clearly none of us planned it).
  1. I'm spending two days a week at a client's office so would like to tell them before it's blindingly obvious instead of having two sets of people gossiping about whether I am plump or pregnant.

So far I have wimped out... I'm a bit scared of being the first unmarried mother in the team as there are some v Christian / conservative types around. (references to "dh" are a cunning smokescreen to disguise my identity!)

Nessalina · 29/09/2014 12:17

Come on Tabby, it's not 1945, surely no-one could really judge you for being unmarried! And if they do, they'd be in the minority and massive tossers obviously
It's really up to you, it's your news and your business, so if you feel uneasy, just keep quiet until you feel more comfortable. Who was it on here that didn't tell work til 20 weeks? Was it you Juni?

Take it easy La, deffo distract yourself with some telly. I'm just watching Downton now! When I had early bleeding there was loads of it and they couldn't say where it was coming from, I think it happens a lot - keeping fingers crossed for cervix staying tight shut for you! Thanks

First day of mat leave, very odd feeling... Got a stinking cold that I've been ignoring for a few days, going to let it wash over me now Confused

wilmabedrock · 29/09/2014 12:22

Tabby, bugger the conservative types. If they have an issue with it then they can sod off. I don't think I've ever had any negative comments made to me (to my face) apart from from family Envy

I agree it feels a bit awkward to bring up. Just wait until you feel comfortable, plenty of time before you're obliged to call them.

Hope you're doing ok La.

I bloody hate waiting for people, lateness makes me rage Angry .

wilmabedrock · 29/09/2014 12:26

*tell them.

Hope your cold buggers off soon Ness.

Pisghetti · 29/09/2014 12:30

Tabby I think you're better off just biting the bullet if you're feeling awkward about people playing the guessing game. I was nervous about telling my boss as he has only just taken over my 'team' (all two of us!) but we had to write our goals/strategy for 2015 and I knew I couldn't do that properly knowing I won't be here for much of 2015. I blushed like a mad thing - honestly you'd swear I was a naughty schoolgirl in trouble - but he was lovely. My not being married hasn't been an issue but our living arrangements have raised a few eyebrows. I expected that though as I appreciate they are unusual but it works for us!

Juni I try to spend at least one day of every holiday reading/internetting/playing games. I don't feel rested otherwise! DP doesn't understand....

Kato that sounds amazing! My father would never forgive me for not letting him give me away and the idea of having him and my mum in the same room as each other fills me with dread so it's less stress all round to avoid the issue and keep producing illegitimates instead Wink

Leela5 · 29/09/2014 12:31

tabby I'd hope people wouldn't judge adults having a child for not being married, that's extremely old fashioned and it's none of their business. Perhaps weigh up how you feel about telling. If you're not comfortable then wait, there's no harm in keeping it private until you decide to tell.

I've had to tell my team about what's going on as I've been away so much and we are going through a tough time at work. They are being great about it. Id have loved to keep my pregnancy secret but it's just not been possible. I burst into tears at work on thurs.

Tried to get up but the pain was excruciating. Lying on couch watching Suits now. Mysteriously my boobs have grown and are achy today.

Half an hour til we have to leave. I feel sick. Please let cervix still be closed...

splodge stay in bed and get well soon! Better to rest and be better faster than to struggle to work and prolong it.

ness hooray for mat leave but boo to cold. I can't stand daytime TV so I just watch iplayer or downloaded programmes. If squishy is born he/she will be a Mad Men addict.

laurenamium · 29/09/2014 12:38

Definitely tell them tabby if you want to and don't be put off with people having outdated opinions!

Me and DP aren't married, and DD hasn't even met her dad- he left when I told him I was pregnant. I worked in a pub at the time to support my studying and quite a few of the older fellas asked when I was getting wed upon hearing the news of my pregnancy. I used to tell them the whole Jeremy Kyle worthy tale in all it's glory. They were most definitely sorry they commented by the end of the half an hour rendition Grin

Not long now la! How are you feeling?

laurenamium · 29/09/2014 12:38

Cross posted la! Thanks Fingers are crossed for you!

Leela5 · 29/09/2014 12:56

lauren that must've been shite, you sound like a very strong person.

I'm ok, bleeding still bit it's eased up. Going in just now

Leela5 · 29/09/2014 12:57

Bizarrely I am desperate for wee all time, boobs hurt and seem bigger. Let's hope good sign

gaggiagirl · 29/09/2014 12:58

good luck for you todayy la xx

laurenamium · 29/09/2014 13:00

Oh I had a lot of family support Smile I'm very lucky that I'm close to my mum. She came to all of the scans and was there at the birth. I've often said it was easier doing it on my own than it would have been having a DP there who was useless- like a lot of my friends had to put up with! No expectations meant I wasn't let down Wink

TabbyTurmoil · 29/09/2014 13:54

GOOD LUCK LA have em crossed tight.

Thanks all for wise words. I've told the partner I work for most. You're all right of course - it's a very "marital" team and of the unmarried girls I'm the only one with a boyfriend who doesn't worry out loud regularly about when he's going to propose but that's very old fashioned these days.
