The nice weather is making us crave burning meat on an outdoor fire, maternity leave is causing headache, and we are all soldiering on as the heat is getting to us - here is JS 26!

[Fattycow]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 26th 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!

Here is the stats list, please update your own spot with any updates: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oLJqpadAb2givKYq8OJfGCti3s6xzsTGlI-GoaBfM_M/edit?pli=1#gid=0

Dulcet has a gull on her toilet (amazing that I know this - we really need to get out more!). She calls him Nigel

He was Nigel the seagull until anal wildlife biologist person ahem pointed out there is no such thing as a 'seagull', they are simply gulls. Most gull species actually nest inland.

Definitely need to get out more...

So it's just a colony of gulls? Generic gulls.

Yes, Nigel lives in the loo and watches us wee. He's a filthy bastard but he watched me wee on many a stick and shared the joy and pain. Even DH knows he's a rock gull and not a seagull now.

Bacon butty would be lovely wil! I have porridge instead. But baby does love porridge.

Hello. I'm just nervously coming over from the JS thread to introduce myself
name: Ewu
Age: 29
DC: 1 cuddly cat
Upduffed: I have a 4 week old poppy seed

For the moment, I'm on exactly the same time scale as Pud with EDD on Christmas Day.

I love bacon but I'm veggie so don't eat it. I'll sniff it though

Yup any gulls dulcet or you could invent a new one for Nigel - a 'perve' of Nigels?

Hi ewa and congratulations!!! Feel free to add yourself to the stats sheet. You'll get lots of support here so do ask anything you need to know

Ooh, Wil glad you and the littlies are ok! Learners are a nightmare to follow...

£3! Brilliant, RM. There are lots of preloved sling shops on facebook, hopefully you'll find yours there. They do keep their value well though if you do buy. I haven't spent much, a couple of packs of nappies and maternity pads in the various baby events and that's it so far. But we saved everything from DD, so secretly hoping to be able to reuse most of it. Clothes will be the big expense if it's a boy. Get writing that manual

Kato, two weeks! Exciting!

Pineapple on pizza is excellent. As is sweet and sour sauce. I'd take on either of those tonight.

Ah, I'd almost forgotten about Nigel the gull

We swaddle H but then unwrap it up to her waist so she can sleep foggy legged, I think it's called hip friendly swaddling, Google will tell you! :)

Hi ewu, (waves!).

Had my first O since bfp on Monday. MAN do I feel better for it! Womble seemed to do like a Mexican wave in celebration. Hee hee.

digi said 2-3 weeks yesterday with fmu I haven't POAS this morning, think I starting to deal with the addiction. In other news, my boobs are bigger already. Winner!!

Hi Ewu, congratulations!

Pud stop peeing on sticks or I'm going to come down to Yorkshire (if that's indeed where you live) and whoop your ass!

Don't think swaddling is a problem if they don't have the condition zy, bit like the carrier business.

Snort at 'a perve of gulls'. Where did seagulls come from then? Nasty little fuckers, whatever they're called.

Pud I can't be arsed to waddle to Yorkshire as I'm too lazy but my mum lives there so I'll get her to come and wallop you. Stop it!

They hang around seaside for food but many nest inland. The typical 'seagull' is actually either a heron gull or black backed gull fucking geek

Wow, I thought we were doing well as we are being given lots of things by my sister. I am just trying not to buy anything full price.

Thanks to a poster on here (sorry, I forget who) I got £20 off bednest hire.

Someone else posted about mamas and papas discount, so I got money off a dream sheep and blanket, plus I got 2 x £15 gift vouchers in error which meant I got a maternity pillow for free and another £5 voucher with their catalogue.

We are going to splurge on the cot though. I love the stokke sleepi and my DM is determined to buy it and my MIL is buying the car seat and base.

We are very lucky though.

Congratulations ewu!! Guess I'm not as much of a newbie anymore with both pud and ewu joining!

I need any tips you've got for saving money though I'm rubbish and have a problem with second hand stuff from people I don't know! I can feel a spreadsheet coming on........

Hi ewu and pud!

Jcandy, nobody is new for long. I still think I'm a newbie and I'm ready to drop!!

The js'ers are in trouble for thread titles that offend apparently!!

Welcome Ewu and congratulations

Pud I am in Yorkshire and can quite easily take your sticks, I'm less good for arse kicking these days which would be in your favour

I really really hate gulls or any bird flying around me. It freaks me out, they are either going to claw me or shit on me. I drive DH mad when we go to St Ives. The ones there are the size of turkeys and I've seen them take a large Cornish pasty out of someone's hands. They get really aggressive!

Really?! Ha who have we offended? Not someone on mn? (Gasp!)

Okay, packet of ICs has gone back in the back of the wardrobe, far far away from the loo!

Ooh what's happened Kato? What was the offending title?

They're like that where I'm from too Purple.

Ha! Really? How do you know and which title was it? So many of them could be offensive!

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/2358940-The-title-of-those-conception-threads-rein-it-in-their-please-ladies

Haha, the bold Stoaty is defending it well!

I was told once by a MN admin that they find the JSIng titles funny

I've read worse titles from the other conception Freds! There was one about the Tour de France and cunt bunting last year iirc which made me laugh a lot. What's the gossip?

Feel marginally better, have had a cup of tea. Rang assessment , as at one point started to time crampy squeezy pain at top of bump. Midwife totes disinterested even when I said baby was moving a lot more 'roughly' than normal and I had stomach pain, she told me I should only be worried if he wasn't moving as much. I thought I was at the point where he was out of room to move and it shouldn't feel as ouchy? She told me to have a gaviscon and have a gentle walk. It probably is something like trapped wind, which I know sounds trivial but it bloody hurts (had it after gastro surgery many moons ago). Might waddle down to shop for some mint cordial which does the job. Mr tee slept thru the whole thing, didn't see the point in waking him, but I did say yesterday I wouldn't mind going to Wagamamas for lunch and now I've got to tell him I don't think I can face it :(
On the upside where tiny tee is having some kind of womb disco we've been able to identify actual body parts, knees elbows, etc which has been quite cool. I'm wondering if he's gone back to being transverse again, it def feels similar...

We were lucky to have things bought for us, but we used our wedding savings for some of the bigger purchases (travel system, Snuzpod) and I've been an eBay/online voucher fiend with stuff like clothes, bags, nursery decoration (think the Star Wars stuff totalled in at about £40 in the end including all the wall art, lighting etc). I've not totalled up how much we've spent overall, neither have I totalled up how much I spunked in primark over the last three months. Or on ice cream.. terrible denial

We don't have gulls here, but we do have a barn owl who I think is looking for a lady friend. The frigging screeching curls my blood, every night....

Boom! Just stuck my oar in. Everyone's sticking up for us, love the dark side of MN.

And now I'm sitting outside the baby show crying. What a bloody hormonal emotional twat!!!

oh la! Get your arse back in their (joke!) and go find some freebies!!!

Don't cry La, your response was brilliant. TBH I thought the people saying they 'inwardly cringed' and that it was the equivalent to toddlers shouting 'wee' and 'bum', worse than the OP. So many people have superiority complexes on here. Yes that's right, we're swearing to get attention. We're not in fact a group of intelligent women who are just having a laugh between ourselves. Bunch of fannies . They are so sour-faced, they could turn milk.

Ah,found it. Looks like we upset the prefects!!

What I find really sad is that for a site that tries to promote female solidarity etc, the ttc boards are pretty much the only place you won't get flamed or picked on. I barely post anywhere else anyway for all the reasons that seem to have been highlighted in that poxy little thread, yet someone deems it necessary to have a whinge about how uncouth we all are. She's missing out on some scintillating discussion, and must be very lucky to have never needed to ask a perfect stranger if the colour of her CM is normal.
