Morning.....am feeling wicked today.....

April lovely baby piccie, i wish i could upload mine 4 u to see. I have no idea how to do it. We got a cd with a little baby movie on it! You too 12weeks, they are sooo cute...why cant they just come out NOW!

Who need classes when you have MN for a wealth of info...and erm...a bit more. Such a shame we cant teleport in to a real room to chat.

April hope you manage to reach your own boobs soon.. Such a shame you feel you have to be dutiful wife, surely there must be more in it for you? Start being assertive and asking for stuff, they love it. Equally at you SOH, i never heard anyone not actually have the big O. Plenty of friends who fake for years etc....does your Dh know you dont? Oooooh bit nosy that question just ignore me.

Thinking of wicked things to do >

Must clean bathrooms, have sprayed limescale stuff all over so will have to do it or wont be able to wee unless i want to wear it. Clever huh?! Hugs is playing with his fave toy he got for xmas...a mini dyson!!! He loves it, i have him in training to be a perfect husband one day

Just read that bit too, SOH. Tsk. Of course you can do it. It doesn't happen for loads of (or most?) people "just" having sex anyway. Additional stimulation is required. And I'm not sure I know anyone who has "peel me off the ceiling" sex all the time.

If you think you'd like to, then you and DH put some work into it. It will be fun.

twelveweekstomaternityleave · 04/01/2007 10:01

Ah, won't be long before Hugs can reach the real Dyson, LG&T. Then you'll be laughing.

largeginandtonic · 04/01/2007 10:05

He does reach it and turn it on...then legs it screaming... Thats why we got him his own, he loves playing with mine but is terrified when he turns it on. This usually entails me running from one end of the house to the other to turn it off and pick up screaming toddler. You would think he would learn....

charleymouse · 04/01/2007 10:09

Did anyone see Desperate Housewives last night when Bree went to the Drs after a big O. She thought she had had a mini stroke or something - hilarious.

Not sure about celebrity big brother though but I am sure Dh will get me into it by the weekend.

I think some of you ladies need to do some practicing with or without your DHs, I know sleep is very tempting sometimes but you have to make an effort. I must admit we don't do it as much as either of us would like but that was one of my new years resolutions - make more time for us (alongside the more regular laundry task). If you can work out for yourelf what you like then you can tell DH exactly what to do. He will love it - honestly.

I can't believe you LGT you will get me into trouble here. Tee hee. I am now going to sit on the naughty step for 36 minutes.

Back to work but see how on top I am and keeping up to date. [very proud smiley].

PS I am loving those scan piccies they look so cute - hopefully will have one next week of both babes to post.

ShowOfHands · 04/01/2007 10:25

DH knows I don't ever reach that elusive 'O'- never anything other than completely honest with him. And believe me we've tried all sorts. It sounds like we have a boring sex life that I don't enjoy. Not true. We have a good time, I do enjoy it and we are as adventurous as the next couple (probably) but I just don't ever orgasm. But don't pity me I have a box of 30 miniature gingerbread men to eat. I am as happy as I possibly could be.

twelveweekstomaternityleave · 04/01/2007 10:27

LG&T, was it you that said you kept the twins on the sofa by turning on the vacuum?

Yeah I saw that last night charleymouse. Although DH was only half watching whilst on the computer and kept annoying me by asking, "what's she doing in the doctors?" and "Who is that getting married?" and "Is that Mike in a coma?" Arrggh. SHUT UP!

Can't wait for your twin piccies. DH looked at me aghast yesterday before the scan when I said, "you never know, they might have missed a baby the last time."

And you're right about the "finding out for yourself what you like." Can be frustrating trying to get someone else to. "Down a bit, left a bit, no softer..."

ShowOfHands · 04/01/2007 10:28

And I would bet that we have sex far more frequently that the average. I'm just missing that gene I tell you. And I've told DH exactly what I like- tea and gingerbread. Does nothing to make me orgasm though.

twelveweekstomaternityleave · 04/01/2007 10:29

If you're not worried about it SOH, then I guess we shouldn't be! I used to be like you though, before I got er, brave. Hehehe.

ShowOfHands · 04/01/2007 10:29

Very last thing I will say on the subject I promise: doing it for myself doesn't work either. Never got anything out of that so don't bother.

Why oh why am I sharing all this with the WWW?

ShowOfHands · 04/01/2007 10:30

You lot don't watch Sleb BB do you?

Now I am horrified.

SKYTVADDICT · 04/01/2007 10:31

I was feeling a bit low this morning as its my first proper day back at work and the DDs back at school - it all got a bit stressful this morning with me ending up in tears but you all make me laugh so feel better now.

I'm not posting about porn or the big O tho as I am sure DD1 (10) reads my posts. I logged off so she couldn't - so she entered that I had forgotten the password, MN emailed it to me, she looked at my emails and logged back in!

twelveweekstomaternityleave · 04/01/2007 10:40

OMG! The cheeky moo, SkyTV. I would ban my DD from using the PC if she did that to me.

Oh, sorry, that sounds like I'm telling you what to do. I'm just outraged for you.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if my DD tried it though. It would be tempting, wouldn't it? She's always trying to look over my shoulder when I'm posting. I have a separate login for her for the PC and password protect mine, but not hers and came down the heavy on her when she added a password as I said I don't look at her stuff, but need access to her msn etc in case she ever went missing. God forbid.

Sorry you're down about being back at work. What happened this morning?

SKYTVADDICT · 04/01/2007 10:48

This morning I wasn't organised (PE kits etc) and we were all too tired - I am meant to have the DDs at my sisters for 8 am but I was still undressed by 8.15 and had to take them to school myself making me 20 mins late for work. My boss is in Australia at the mo and is always on the phone at 0900 as it is 1900 there and he is waiting to go out for dinner! I was late and he had phoned so that didn't go down too well. His wife has been taken in to hosp in Australia with bacterial pnemonia which isn't responding to treatment so he isn't in too good a frame of mind either although he wasn't horrible to me I do feel guilty about being late.

About DD1 and the password I thought it was quite clever of her to think of doing so didn't come down too hard on her! She does try and read over my should too though.

charleymouse · 04/01/2007 10:50

CM hangs her head in shame. DH watches CBB, he is an avid fan, I end up watching some of it as he has it on all the time.

SKYTC quite clever of your DD though. Glad we are making you laugh this morning.

SOH you are not sharing this with the WWW you are talking to friends about it there is a difference. If you are happy then we are happy, each to his own. Gingerbread men sound good I have to say - especially for dunkin in tea. Bourbons are my favourite for dunkin in coffee.

Yes 12WTML, don't forget you 20 weekers there may be 2 in there one could have been hiding at the first scan! I think at least one of you should keep me company in the twins club.

twelveweekstomaternityleave · 04/01/2007 11:06

I hate mornings like that SkyTV. I'd be up the wall as well. I do NOT respond well to that sort of morning chaos. Poor you. It will be better tomorrow. Just bloody unfortunate about the boss.

DH trades (on betting exchanges) on 'sleb and all that reality tv stuff. He's awfully good at it and has learned how to make money with little or no risk. It just takes up a lot of time. It's tedious for me having to watch the shows or hear about them. Actually, he finds it tedious too! Before Christmas we had Strictly, I'm a Celeb and X-Factor all going. It got VERY boring! I was gutted when I realised BB was back on already.

largeginandtonic · 04/01/2007 11:15

I did used to put the hoover on to keep the dts on the couch and soothe dd to sleep...

God damn it im off to get a biccie now from all this gingerbread talk!!!

twelveweekstomaternityleave · 04/01/2007 11:22

Someone bought me a tea just now. Deffo think I need a bikki...

largeginandtonic · 04/01/2007 11:22

Have just eaten 4 choc biccies....i blame you SOH...course i would be having sex instead if i could.

Am chatting on msn to one of my friends who is working in Russia at the mo. Im telling him about our thread and our porno talk, he is laughing alot. Its quite useful having a boy friend as he is a wealth of information on all men matters and very good at advice re sex. He agrees with the telling a man what to do, says he would much prefer to be getting it right than having an unfulfilled girlie.

Any questions for him?

twelveweekstomaternityleave · 04/01/2007 11:24

Yes. Ask him, "Was Rasputin really Russia's Greatest Love Machine, or is it him?"

largeginandtonic · 04/01/2007 11:28

LOL 12weeks, will ask but i can guess the answer!!! He has a girlfriend (russian) maybe i should ask her?!

ShowOfHands · 04/01/2007 12:10

I am in such a bad mood this morning about not finding out the gender. Please tell me I'm an idiot. I've got into this stupid frame of mind where I want a boy and wanted to find out at the scan so that if it is a girl I could get used to it before I give birth. I know it sounds selfish, but I don't want to feel even a split second of disappointment when I give birth. All the time I don't know I can keep hoping for a boy, setting myself up for a fall and I want to know either way. I don't think we can afford a 4D scan, I'd have to take a day off work and go quite a way on a train to have it done too.

I feel so stupid and selfish to be moaning about not knowing the gender. I should just be happy that it's healthy.

Grr. I'm an idiot. Somebody slap me.

Lunch time soooooon......i want a Krispy Kreme (for a change)

largeginandtonic · 04/01/2007 12:13

Poor you SOH, i know what you mean. I didnt want to be dissapointed either when the baby came, or the children. Thats why we found out, why dont you come and stay with me for the weekend, my local private clinic will sex the baby for £50 if you have already had the anomoly scan xxx

SKYTVADDICT · 04/01/2007 12:16

Poor you SOH. I felt exactly the same for me and the DDs as we all wanted a girl (DP wanted a boy) and I thought we would be disappointed/shocked if it was a boy so we found out! They said its a boy but we are still hoping they are wrong and its a girl .

Don't feel selfish or silly, what you are feeling is just natural.
