Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 25th 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 42nd 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!

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!

The stats sheet will be linked to by our stats hero La (can't do on iPad sorry!)

So, roll call below please, viroids!

Any pubs nearby you can run to for poo?

I'm presuming you've not got plunger? Do you have a mop? If so tie plastic bag round top and use as plunger - meant to be plumbers trick

Definitely sod his shower bloody men and long showers grr

I'm going to have nice word when he wakes up about the value of listening to preggers wife and just tell him I want to eat his eggs instead of this one. Honesty is best policy n all that. He has 8 homemade butterfly cakes to eat and I got him gin n tonic for today so he will be happy enough I'm sure.

Dulcet I feel for you! Poo need is hideous when you can't go!

LaLaLaaaa · 05/04/2015 09:58

I reckon benefits of happy baby outweigh hearing worry wil!

LaLaLaaaa · 05/04/2015 10:08

KLAXON Bfp on undergrads!

gaggiagirl · 05/04/2015 10:13

Maybe even 2 bfps la!
Also la YABU because Cadburys chocolate is RANK. Kraft have fucked it up so bad, its just not right. Galaxy is nice though. Your DH is still a total nobber for getting you Thorntons shite though, he doesn't deserve an egg.

KatoPotato · 05/04/2015 10:24

Feel much better after a good sleep. It was quite cleansing to have such a mega sob, I highly recommend it! I think it was seeing and smelling ds1's old stuff took my right back to a place of nostalgia and terror.

DH was lovely and helped me assemble the mamaroo and wasn't at all cheeky about the price or ridiculousness of it. Also got a missed call from pram centre asking me to arrange delivery of new bug so being positive today! Despite my now 24/7 raging heartburn...

DS was positively showered with white noise and he's an absolute champ, with no hearing issues ever. The alternative of no white noise I think one of us would have been out the window! Iphone on airplane mode, go for it!

LaLaLaaaa · 05/04/2015 10:37

Ooh yes gaggia it would be lovely if skys is bfp too - then lil yours in a day or two! When are you testing with frer lil?

Kato it's totally unsurprising you got totes emosh at DS clothes - it'll have made it more real that you're having a baaaybeee soon! Glad you feel a bit better today, sometimes a cry gets all the tension and worry out. Which buggy did you get?

Dh just woke up and first thing he said was 'happy Easter, I think I got you the wrong egg' so all good here - we've decided to share the love (love = chocolate in my house )

How's the poo dulcet?

DulcetMoans · 05/04/2015 11:02

I did it in the garden and buried it like a cat. Ok, I didn't. I made him get up and 'deal with it'. Not sure what he did but all fixed and I am relieved!

I agree a good cry can sometimes be the best medicine kato. Had a break down on the streets on London yesterday. Embarrassing at the time but refreshed afterwards! Have you managed to rearrange delivery? Pram pic porn when it comes??

Glad you've come to an agreement and he realised the mistake la! Phew! Don't want to have to fight first thing in the morning!

willywallace · 05/04/2015 11:21

Never thought of airplane mode thicko.

Why did London make you cry Dulcet?

Enjoy your egg La!

teejayem · 05/04/2015 11:37

That must have been an epic poo dulcet. Glad it's cleared tho!

I am devoid of eggles this morning, which I do feel a bit aggrieved about, the one I ordered isn't going to be here until Tuesday . It's fine, I am making up for it with bacon.

I had a dose of duty driver last night fleur although I only had to do one trip, we went to a friends birthday, only a house party but a good 40 minutes away and four of us in the car. I was the only sober person there, which I don't mind becasue I quite like watching how ridiculous people are as they get progressively more pissed, and I don't feel obliged to give my seat up for anyone. I was really well behaved, didn't snarl at anyone who wanted to exclaim how big I was etc etc, until I overheard the host's wife talking about how she thinks that having a baby would just totes ruin her social life and she hates how it's changed her friends so much, and they don't have time for her, and God it must be so boring not being able to do what you want, and her friend nodding and agreeing and saying 'have you seen poor Tee, she looks so out of place, it's a real shock how it's changed her'. :( and until that point I actually hadn't felt like too much of a poor put upon upduffed woman, but I bloody did afterwards! They both looked quite shamefaced when they saw I was two people down from them in the toilet queue, although I didn't have enough sass for a pithy remark, so I just gave a 100watt smile and ignored it. mr tee was too drunk for intelligent conversation and is too hungover now, so I've stewed on it all night and most of this morning; but it's touched a nerve a little bit as I've really made an effort to continue business as usual from a social perspective, even when I've felt dreadful, and kept up a good game face, but obviously it hasn't worked, and I actually wish I'd have stayed at home. On the upside I got to call time when we went home, and I got McDonald's drive through en route, but even this morning I feel a bit flat. Wankers.

gaggiagirl · 05/04/2015 11:42

My child informed me that she had 'only chicken' for breakfast this morning. I dont have any chicken in the fridge that she could have foraged so I was baffled.
I asked her again....what did you eat. She said I told you it was only a little chicken mammy!
It was a chicken made of chocolate filled with smarties from the Easter bunny. Little bugger.

gaggiagirl · 05/04/2015 11:49

tee what a night!, honestly dont take it to heart. These women dont have children and aren't pregnant so they can judge all they fucking like but it doesn't make them right. They sound like jealous nobbers, they really do.
I bet pregnancy hasn't changed you in social situations one bit. They just cant handle that you are ALL that. Poor cows. Pity them.

Purpleball · 05/04/2015 12:11

Oh Tee lovie they are just jealous, pure and simple. I think you're doing brilliantly, I'm too attached to my sofa for much else these days.

Gaggia I'm laughing at chicken for brekkie....inspired choice miniga

La I'd make him eat the shite thorntons egg

We went to the silver cross factory outlet yesterday for a nosy. I can have the pioneer brand new for £650 (same price everywhere else), or with a broken box for £550, or a slight second (a bit scuffed) for £450. The carrycot and seat/hood are brand new in each case, it's just the frame that might be a bit bashed.
I've to go back in 3 months and tell him exactly what I want and he'll phone me when it comes in Smile

Parents coming for a roast dinner later, I'm attempting tarte tatin. I've never made it before but it looks quite easy Smile

willywallace · 05/04/2015 12:15

I love MiniGaggia!

Tee that is fucking rude. How old are they? I understand folk in their early twenties feeling like that but any older and they need to catch themselves on. It's just another example of people trying to make themselves feel better about their choices by undermining folk who have made different choices. They're right you can't do what you want when you have kids but obviously you realise that and have thought 'fuck it, there's a bit more to life than doing what you want all the time'. Good for them if they don't want kids, but sounds like they need to grow the fuck up themselves. Sorry, rant over. Just annoys me how you've made such an effort with all the pain you're in and they still expect you to be exactly the same as before. Of course it bloody changes you, you're growing a human. It's the biggest thing you'll ever go through.

freshstart4us · 05/04/2015 12:20

Afternoon lovely viroids and happy Easter!

Have browsed but not really caught up. But will say Tee your host and her offsider are typical of the pre-baby brigade, don't bother with them, they would have self-selected out of your social circle pretty soon anyway. For those of us who choose to have kids, parenting is our first choice and priority. Certainly there are those who let it "not affect" their social life but really, then wtf would be the point of having kids? Yes it is different, a massive adjustment if you were, like I was, used to being out more than I was home and enjoying a very wine-oriented but guess what? It is also wonderful and different and fulfilling. Our children will be tiny for only a very short period of time and within a matter of only a couple of years you'll be back to being the life of the party, and idiots like that will have nothing to show for their preceding 5 or whatever years except a decreased liver function! Flowers

LaLaLaaaa · 05/04/2015 12:26

Oh my god tee what nobs they sound!!! You're doing brilliantly and they sound snide and jealous. I look on this baby as a new chapter. I met mr la on the cocktail bar and party circuit and our life now couldn't be more different - but I love our progression. If you stayed a la Kate moss party girl your whole life, well that would just get a bit old after a while.

Brush it off and have a laugh about it with mr tee later over some non alco fizz. I honestly can't wait to take out child to the park and the zoo, and just things like Sunday baking and story time. Sometimes I feel a bit like I'd like to go out and party but realistically it's just not me at the moment.

RhiannonElward · 05/04/2015 13:11

Tee these people are not nice people, and they seem to think your sole purpose is to be 'fun' as defined by their drunken selves. Now, I know what my drunken self's idea of fun is and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. They can take their snide critical attitudes and wedge them into their vacant uteruses (is that a word?) and leave you to live your life how you want to.

I used to be a friend of tequila and metal clubs, I don't do that any more, but I am Santa, Easter Bunny and a Mammy, and it's a much more meaningful existence, even if it is dull for some people. Each to their own, eh?

teejayem · 05/04/2015 13:20

Just told Mr Tee. He laughed and said they were a pair of jealous knobs too and to ignore them. He also said ironically that the husband of one of the gossips said to him last night that he is absolutely desperate for kids. (All early 30s). Hmm I honestly think it's as life changing as you make it, and one of the things I'm looking forward to most too is taking tiny tee out and playing with him and doing cool stuff. None of which I could do revolving around a vodka bottle. Not saying my partying years are over at all, but I just think there's a bit more to life than that. The more I think about it, the more sorry I feel for them than me!

teejayem · 05/04/2015 13:22

Love you lot. A general fuck you consensus. I feel a lot better, non mumsnet hug. Xx

mountaingirl01 · 05/04/2015 13:22

Sound like complete nobs tee obviously feeling the need to justify their choices to themselves. If they were happy in their own lives they wouldn't feel the need to comment on yours.

I just had a little self-pitying cry as well. Problem is, my whole social circle is based on outdoor activities that I can't do at the moment. So dh is out climbing with some of our friends (which I really can't do at the moment) and my cycle club is out today (but I just can't keep up same pace as them anymore) and I feel a bit left out and like I can't do any of the things that made me me anymore. I don't really have any RL friends who have babies or are likely to in the near future and I feel a bit isolated. I know I am being silly and it's only for a few months and I am incredibly grateful that I seem to be incubating this baby well this time, but just needed a little weep. Probably doesn't help that I am shattered, London was fun but soooo tiring, could have done with coming home yesterday morning rather than seeing dhs godmother. She didn't get back to us till early evening so dh and I got to spend the day together which was a rare treat I cried because I got tired walking up the 5 flights of stairs in the science museum and we didn't get home till late. So happy to be put of the city! I am such a country mouse.

mountaingirl01 · 05/04/2015 13:23

Cross post! Love that one of their partners said that!

Purpleball · 05/04/2015 13:50

There you go then. I wonder if they are TTC and it's taking a while. Could be a bit of drunken bravado.

None of my friends with kids are hermits. They still go out, they get babysitters or they host. We can take the baby to a BBQ with the pram and get a taxi home occasionally. Or they can all come to us.

My friend has a reciprocal agreement for babysitting with one of her friends. One of them needs weeknights, the other needs weekends. They work it out between them

Pisghetti · 05/04/2015 14:02

Tee pretty much what everyone else has said. I don't intend to never darken the doors of a bar/club again but won't be doing so for a long time and that's ok cos being mammy is pretty damn awesome (and being coated in baby sick is miles better than being covered in your own sick Easter Wink)

Aww mountain I know that feeling. I had to hang up my harness for a while and my new climbing shoes have never been used. Would you want to go along just to get out in the sun for a bit and do some belaying? I'm pretty poor at it tbh (particularly outdoors) so usually only manage one or two in a day so I like just being out somewhere nice. It's not forever - you'll be able to take a baby with you next year while they're still immobile and portable :-)

I've bought MrPis a Lindt egg..... I'd better get something good not that I give to receive n all that

OP posts:
gaggiagirl · 05/04/2015 14:13

I got a Lindt cookies and cream egg! Result!

Fleurchamp · 05/04/2015 14:29

What knobs tee

I am pretty much the last of my friends to have a baby - I am having one to get my social life back!!! I am fed up of being the one not invited to stuff as "you wouldn't want to come to the farm with us and the kids". Ummm, yeah I do!

The family are several bottles of wine and beers down. I am in the pub garden with my niece whilst she runs around and plays on the swings Grin

No Easter eggs Easter Sad

willywallace · 05/04/2015 15:10

No egg here either because I ate it two days ago. Hard times.
