Have a good one iggs silver is your dad frat or ident?

SilverSky · 26/02/2010 18:23

carrots non-identical!

Doesnt that mean have more chance of having twins?

skihorse · 26/02/2010 18:37

carrots You're right, of course I don't mean "no questions" - but maybe keep the really silly neurotic panic stuff for the normal threads - e.g., there's a daft bint on our an thread who asks such things as "omg can I get a bus?" and "omg I'm so busy today I went to tesco and had a mcdonalds" - and we all laughed at the ttc girl last week who was worried she'd killed her baybee (pre-conception) by bleaching her hair.

ski now dem iz ridiculous fings 2 ask. Would love to see your reply! What thread is it? Need a giggle.

Currently waiting at doctors. Had to answer my phone as was emergency, got sneered at by another patient! Not for long tho. Stupid moo. Should know better than to tumble with hormone ladled sick updiffed chick. Nuff said.

givecarrotsachance · 26/02/2010 18:41

Was that a question?

LOL Just kidding.

Well probably not as my understanding is that fraternal twins are hereditary via the maternal line - so as it was your dad, not mum, you should have no greater chance than the random average!

givecarrotsachance · 26/02/2010 18:47

Note: politically correct choice of "chance" rather than "risk"

Again, sorry twins laydee.

Actually, anyone seen the twins laydee recently? Since she gave birth via her nipple all has been quiet...

SilverSky · 26/02/2010 19:14

carrots that i am pleased to hear!

CUNextTuesday · 26/02/2010 19:15

She's probably still in shock

givecarrotsachance · 26/02/2010 19:21

silver but I could be wrong...

cunty I would be, too. Although the size of the cervix before dilation isn't much bigger than the size of the holes in yer boobs (that's HOLES girls, it comes out like a shower, not a single stream).

skihorse · 26/02/2010 19:29

silver I don't go on that thread anymore because it's full of the walking braindead. The final straw for me was the daft unemployed one moaning that she had nothing to fill her days with and then cooked microwave meals...

I'm one of life's problem solvers - I don't have too much time for eejits with no common-sense.

I know cheggers has been really busy at work - perhaps she'll check in this weekend either to attest to that - or she haz had twinz through her nips.

I lost my rag with someone (in a gentle way) on a thread earlier

givecarrotsachance · 26/02/2010 20:40

Oooh cunty share!

SilverSky · 26/02/2010 20:59

The appt with the dr was great. She was lovely and excited for me and i nearly cried. Well for 2 seconds i nearly cried. Got sent on my way with a big pack full of info.

As any good student does i have started reading and its all starting to hit home. On the plus side its made me forget i feel sick. Also just eaten tin of sweetcorn!

Ponymum · 26/02/2010 21:19

A tin of sweetcorn? Now that's what I call preggy boak food!

CUNextTuesday · 26/02/2010 22:58

@ sweetcorn. Food of Lucifer.

this carrots

givecarrotsachance · 27/02/2010 08:36

I love sweetcorn! Full of good stuff as well of course LOL.

You'll have got a Bounty pack then? Load of crap if you ask me - full if leaflets getting you to sign up for rubbish and then they bombard you with junk mail. I was V disappointed with mine although I do recall some of the other PESHs getting a better bunch of stuff.

givecarrotsachance · 27/02/2010 08:55

Hmm cubty if I may say so, very mild . And the OP was an idiot. In my MOST humble opinion, of course . I also replied.

Your point was perfectly valid in one sense, however I felt that given the context of the question that the OP added, more needed to be said.

givecarrotsachance · 27/02/2010 09:16

CUBTY? WTF...

Now Anne Widdecombe is getting involved

Clearly she knows so much about the needs of breastfed babies and their mothers, from so much first hand experience.

Please, do write at least one letter to someone about this (your MP, the dept of health, AW the ignorant cow, the bus company) because this affects all of us. Stories like this simply scare the less-confident woman off breastfeeding at all as they don't know what to do when out - or they do BF but stay indoors and risk PND. Even if you choose not to BF, it affects your friends, your sister, your cousins... it's just awful.

skihorse · 27/02/2010 13:29

I haz just been to Boots for my freebaybeeshiz bag and they've run out so I have to go back on Tuesday. Bought another maternity top which was so pretty and "my style" that I couldn't resist... I've decided to get the rest of my stuff from next - reason being, here mat jeans = 45 euros. Next = 28 euros (5 delivery). wtf? Boots of course had 50% off on all their baby-care range but I want paraben/nasty-shiz free stuff for my PFB.

So I've been in to town, had coffee with my new pal who wants to give Ginger a whirl and isn't scared to fall off. Jailbait and I also had lunch out at a rather nice pub that I last went to about 8 years ago - all this and it's only half two! Phew!

bloody ell ski breathless just reading that

i haz bort my sister half a wedding dress this morning - quite impressed with self also (she is buying the other half btw!)

now wailing at the pishness of my national rugby team and gutted cannot console self with bucket of gin

GrumpyGasper · 27/02/2010 15:50

hear, hear sal. I have just spent an hour and a half yelling at the telly and those Italian gits with Scottish names (and Scots with Italian names - all too confusing!). It's just not the same without Chris Paterson/Jason White. At least they should put some effort in for the next match (divorce day in our house ).

Feel massively let down after checking out the Mothercare bedside cot and realising it won't sit flush against the bed at all. We don't have a huge bed so wanted to do that semi-co-sleeping thing with a proper bedside cot. Might just go for a low dropside. Our bed is very low.

Very pleased after 22 year old lad looked on in disbelief after discovering my age last night at a work function. Quite cute that he was so interested in the baby and stuff.

Hope you're all feeling ok. ski - you have exhausted me too.

P.s Sweetcorn = repulsive. Devil's spawn and the quickest way to ruin any pizza.

Ponymum · 27/02/2010 17:18

ghosty We have the mothercare bedside cot. You're right, I wouldn't dare use it as such though! I simply cannot understand the dangerous gap between the bed and the cot. But otherwise it's a great cot, just not for the purpose 'intended'.

We have just picked up a ebay bargain cot bed today for the foal. The intention is that she moves into that and the new baby will go into her cot. MrP picked it up this morning from a couple in Leeds that huge metropolis south of the Dales. Apparently she was so upset to see it go (my baby's growing up, etc) and was only consoled when MrP told her about our little family and how excited the foal woould be to have it, etc, etc. Rather him than me. I would have probably laughed at her, soppy cow!

GrumpyGasper · 27/02/2010 17:32

Thanks pone glad to hear I wasn't missing something/making a fuss out of nothing. I'm going to get a fairly simple dropside I think and just keep it close to bed. If we really want to co-sleep, baby and I will head to the spare room and I'll stay half uncovered - should be warm enough in the early months.

Poor woman getting upset about her cot. Doubt I'd be like that when making a quick buck off of ebay!

SilverSky · 28/02/2010 09:03

its official. Can no longer sleep through the night without needing to pee. Rubbish.

What weather have you all got today? We have high winds (so high its even rivalling the abilities of my backside) and driving rain. Its going to be a mighty fine Sunday.

skihorse · 28/02/2010 10:11

hello silver - I did actually manage a whole night a couple of weeks ago without having to get up for a pee. Now I'm at the stage where I need to go and when I sit down I sometimes squeeze out half a drop... not even enough to dampen a piece of bog roll.

Well due to having a busy day yesterday I'm wiped out today... so all these big plans I had to meet the girls at the stables have gone out of the window. I'm going up to the Burger King drive through for nutricious pregnancy essentials: chilli cheese nuggets (never seen chilli or cheese, only a deep fat fryer) and onion rings. The baybee deserves it. Following that a waddle around decathlon looking at all the sports gear I can't fit in to - I'm on the hunt for an enormous t-shirt.

This morning I've had to accept that the size 16 jeans are just not working anymore... I pulled them up as far as they would go giving myself a cameltoe in the process... but couldn't do the buttons up for love nor money so put a bumpband on. I'm going to have to man up and actually buy some maternity jeans. I've seen some really lovely tops but maternity bottoms really seem to be lacking - or maybe it's just because they hang so weirdly on the hangers they look bizarre.

Windy and overcast here but not raining yet.

Sweetcorn is very good with tuna mayo in a jacket potato or a sarnie. I can see no other culinary need for it.
