The JS Grads turn 18! We are young, we are free, keep our foofs all tidy! No cigs, alcohol and a lack of JSing... but Nik Naks, Monster Munch and chip butties for all!

[Pisghetti]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 18th grads thread... celebrating the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed!

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 35th outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

There is also a Just Mumming thread in postnatal clubs here for once your babies come along, or to keep up with the graduated graduates! It's a bit quiet at the moment, but with all these upduffed viroids hopefully it won't be for long!

There is also a private facebook group (so it doesn't give the game away in your news feed!)... if you want to join to see photos of new babies etc, just ask in-thread!

So, roll call below please, viroids!

You're more than entitled to feel grumpy now and then wil! Not long to go now

Hi viroids! Just checking in, don't ever let me say I miss exercise again! After mucking out and doing the yard jobs for 4 horses and re fencing a new paddock I'm officially aching! Off out with some friends tonight though DP is out until Monday and DD is sleeping out! I feel like a free woman for the first time in ages!

Hope everyone's okay!

Lauren that sounds like bliss. Wonder who we can persuade to take MiniWil for the night.

Thanks Indigo. My real life friends would kick me up the arse if I moaned as much to them though so i shouldn't do it to you guys either.

Just one packet pis?? Very restrained of you!! All they kept banging on about in our antenatal class was how bfing burned loads of calories... They must have missed out the cake eating part!!

Chin up Wil, end is in sight now. I'd feel a bit harsh slapping you so I'll slap you with a bit of cake in the mush, ok?

Glad you had a good day Lauren

Thinking of you min x

Yo! How's everyone? I've had SUCH a nice day! Went to see my friends new foal (cuuute!), then visited my horse and he was miles better in he school (still needs Physio though) and he have me big kisses, then my instructor took me to her house to visit her show Arabs. Gorgeous!!! Lots of pony cuddles for me today.

Now knackered and lying on my bed. Got a pizza and pic n mix for a night in watching Christmas films (Love actually anyone?) and strictly final.

Got busy day tomorrow delivering presents to various people. Going to see my friend who had twins 2 months ago so ill get some baby squishes.

Gx min that this is it!

Wil you're allowed to be grumpy xxx

Lauren honestly no idea how you do it! I'm knackered after grooming and tacking up one today!

I've had email from daisy foundation - they have a space for me but it's not in my town (even though it's advertised as so!) so will be 30 min drive. Think I'll still go for it. Also got email from fitmummy (name makes me shudder) and nct booking forms.

Does it matter when you do daisy popz? If I do it earlier rather than later is it going to be a problem? It starts in jan. Nct starts in June and includes a bf class. I've also been recommended to do the bf all day class offered by my mw (that's the one with the muffin!). Head is swimming, I'll need to write it all down!

Pfffffffffffffft one packets nothing pis! I ate 5 rich tea biscuits with every cup of tea (at least 4 cups a day) all the way through uni and I wasn't growing a human. You do what you like love!

Stalled again.
Bah!

Get bouncing min! Then go to cinema to see a really long film

zyla I meant to ask before but what range is your beautiful nursery set, the cot etc?

Been out shopping, largely unsuccessful, now I have to go to a party but all I want to do is sleep!

I started Daisy at end of September La and just finished a fortnight ago. I think they said when I enquired you had to be 14 or 16 weeks before you could start? Not sure. Don't think it matters though, it'd just be a case of remembering the breathing techniques for labour if you started mega early (but they're not exactly difficult!) xx

Like in, followed by out popz......?

Meant to add "repeat". Sheesh, maybe I do need the classes...

Well you may mock but if obem has taught me anything it's that plenty of people grit their teeth and forget to breathe altogether in labour....

I didn't think about the breathing once labour really got going, just let my body lead - it seemed to have a view on what was the right thing to do

l gained a couple of stones in pregnancy, but lost it all and more bfing. Frequent feeder plus shit sleeper plus only naps while moving meant I could have eaten entire cakes most days and still been too skinny. The cake habit hasn't left me though so once she was done feeding I put the weight back on. Think I'm about 3lb up so far now, all in the boobs

Infacol is great, DD's burps smelt of oranges

We've arrived back in the UK, pay and go sim card in and I really really want some proper fish and chips - and some soft, thick bread for a chip butty mmm...

They're just coping techniques to be drawn upon if helpful/ required. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

I want cake now!

I totally agree popz and will be soaking up all the breathing/coping techniques I can when the time comes!!

Where is the party Dulcet? I also had an unsuccessful shopping trip. Actually coming to the realisation that some people are blatantly not going to get presents from me as I have no shopping time left .

La your day sounds lovely.

I found breathing did fuck all in labour! (aside from keeping me alive ). I kept getting told off for not breathing in the gas and air for long enough during contraction, but it really wasn't helping and for some reason I hated the thing over my mouth.

We have the best excuse though, surely Wil??

In the absence of cake I just had cheese and breakfast biscuits... I think my pregnancy superpower is the ability to go from being too full and sick to eat to STARVING in the time it takes DH to cook a meal I said I didn't want....

indigo it's mamas and papas chamberlain range :)

la I'm going to be driving about 40 mins or so to my class, it'll be fine!

We just went out and had a lovely Italian yum :)

lil because autocorrect says so!

indigo that's possibly me traumatised for life...

urgh... so it looks like after being off last weekend work are actually going to try and give me a disciplinary for my sickness record or at least according to the paperwork attached to my back to work interview!! Fucking grumble I've told them enough times that they should be recording pregnancy related absences separately and they're still not doing it because all of them have in some way or form been bloody caused by the pregnancy! Is ti really that hard for Admin and management to have some bloody clue about employment law?!

Also Someone told my grandmother than I'm ill and have been on bed rest, she is now convinced I am dying and it's too late in the evening to get hold of her to attempt to convince her I'm fine >.> Hope everyone else day has been less stressful!!

wil did you have other pain relief??

popz that's my trick even when not pregnant. "No I'm not hungry"... Food gets made.... "Can I have some please?" Usually results in swearing and abusive name calling from DP (quite fairly)..

Haha Indigo, MrWil would also go nuts with me for doing that.

I think at that point I probably hadn't had any other pain relief as I wasn't allowed an epidural and was refusing diamorphine. In the end though I had it all .

Ha Popz, my mum might let me off but don't think my nephews will be so forgiving!

Boo that's awful. What is their reasoning? Do you work in retail?
