Hello donttry good luck for friday if no baybeee action before then!

I haz uploaded scan pic innit.

donttrythisathome · 16/03/2010 14:42

Love the new name Cuntarse!!

I was leaving the baby alone to get on with things until recently but now have tried getting jiggy in all senses of the word....

The midwife I saw today (a wise woman type) whispered to me today to try the castor oil.

So I'm off to try that...if you don't hear then I am stuck to the loo bitterly regretting the day I was born!

Best of luck again, and really thrilled for you all.

Congrats on the scan IggsAlways nice to know there is still something in there and you're definitely preggo, not just fat!

Did I plant ideas of right-wing-ness in this weirdo Bess's head by saying I wanted to be a strike-breaking right winger? Or was she always that strange? As of the blood-smearing of babies' faces out hunting, mine comes back with her face smeared with chocolate. Tis the best way to keep a child sitting still and quiet for a couple of hours. And it is VERY important to still have a life once you pop. Specifically - it is important to have a life which is not 100% baby orientated. My friend went a bit strange after having her baby - she became obsessed with her NCT mummies group, and they would have mummies nights out, mummies days in mummies, mummies, mummies, MUMMIES bleuuurggghhh! I was right narked the day she cancelled on me because the mummies had called a day out at short notice and she daren't get left out. I want to have a circle of friends that include people who know what my name is, not just *'s mummy. Oh God, I've gone all ranty again! Sorry everyone .

Ski here is the pandora-patented way of getting on the cover of H&H (I have not managed it yet, but pg3 is not bad!)

  1. Find out where the photographer is going to be - this is v v v important! No paps, no pic.
  2. Have matching horses with whoever you intend to be snapped with. White seems to catch the photographer's eye but is a right faff to get ready, espec if you have to scrub Julian's white pony too.
  3. Don a side-saddle habit and go sideways.
  4. Options here - a)quaff large quantities at the meet so you look like the life and soul of the party, or b)jump the biggest fence you can perfectly side by side with pic partner.
  5. Whatever you are doing, whether it be drinking, jumping, or even falling off, look the photographer straight in the eye and flash him your cheesiest grin.

That should work! And if it doesn't get you in H&H it will at least piss off the left wing woolly fox-lovers (Will that last bit get me into trouble?)

ski I hope you don't mind but it's my fave BESH story. I realise the memories are angst-ridden pour vous, however one day you'll see the funny side I'm sure

Good luck donttry and I hope your little lady objects strongly to the Castrol oil. I know I would, I'd be out of there like a nun at a strip club.

skihorse · 16/03/2010 15:20

MsBraithwaite
Hanging to the side, check.
Life and soul = gin, check.
Tight top, loose bottons, check.

Shame on you for having a life, don't you realise that your little Princess is the most precious thing to ever walk this planet? Tbh, Julian's face is already covered in blood what with his father being ex-military et al. I find few things more irritating than those who log on as e.g., Juliansmummy - you know, the inference that you cease to exist in your own right once you've given birth.

Don't worry, she's always been a bit hot headed. Too much Kath Kitson I think.

Right, well I have to head off - beautician then a work's do where I'm expected to give a speech and all I really want to do is go home and murder some fluffy animals.

PS A trip to the beautician would normally render one blotchy-face right? Trust me, nobody will notice today.

cunty Pleased to be of service, I still think it's hilarious, jailbait less so.

so jealous of all your lovely clear scans iggy! Great news deserves a big snog

Hello donttry and good luck for Friday. The first BESH baby just before the BESH anniversary - you are a shining beacon of hope

Catch up more later - still a bit annoyed with that other fred and the sweeping generalisation made by someone who, after the last sweeping generalisation, told me directly via email that she has not intended to tar us all with same brush. Whoops she did it again.

Just to be clear: I adore dogs - just the normal household kind, not 'ownds (though gundogs were a big part of my childhood).
I don't mind cats (used to have a couple). I would like to keep more animals in a farmyard style. I am not right wing. I do not have a pony. But I do work among a load of toffs. Finally, unlike many of the PESHies, I am not sporty in any way, shape or form.

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 16:33

timely quote from LC last night, "Are you a woman or just my mummy?".

Hey donttry and congrats! Have you had the placenta monitored? If you don't want to go through induction it's worth getting them to do so, may buy you a couple more days. Unless you're in the "get it out of here" mode . Are you totally sure of your dates?

LC was a bit over and I went for a looong walk through the woods (about 3 hours). Had him next day .

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 16:35

pan are you on t'other place?

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 16:39

pandie I find your flying views totally repulsive and I'm going to support the cabin crew as they are grounding planes which is better for the environment.

What got you into being a pilot then?

iggypiggy · 16/03/2010 16:40

you can lie on your tummy rots ?!

iggypiggy · 16/03/2010 16:41

ps. deliberate mis-spelling

SkaterGrrrrl · 16/03/2010 16:51

Hey dudes

Ditto hungry
Ditto constipated.

SkaterBoy is going out tonight so last night he cooked a huge vegetable casserole and put it in the fridge so I just have to microwave it when I get in . I heart him. Also, it has 12 vegetables in it - bring on the fibre!

Good news on the scan iggy!

Marmite is ace: true fact!

Hello donttrythis, you started the first thread! I'm still here with this lot and been regretting enjoying it ever since. Hope your little one decided to turn up soon!

Pandora I agree. I don't want to be known as "mummy" especially to my mates and definitely not to DH

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 16:53

iggs I'm shocked at your pointing out your spelling. Anyone would think that I'm some kind of weird pedant who keeps picking you up on stuff entirely because you're also a pedant .

No, I can't lie on my tummy. But this is a virtual world, no? So I'm lying on my tummy, eating shellfish dipped in camembert.

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 16:55

"picking you up on stuff" which I am entirely aware is intentional hence my tongue in cheek picking up.... ahh cans of bloody worms...

SilverSky · 16/03/2010 16:56

gals- the greek yoghurt thing was on a review for saino's organic version!

Dont you think its funny that people get so upset over a thread title? seriously! Freds are where like minded people congregate, clearly if the title aint for you, chances are the fred aint either.

iggs forgot to say congrats luv on the scan! Parma ham to celebrate!

iggypiggy · 16/03/2010 17:03

rots you is silly

In my virtual world I too am lying on tummy... love the virtual world... iz it wierd to miss lying on tummy so much?!

Thanks for congrats PESHies - i started the celebrations earlier with a piece of banoffee pie

SkaterGrrrrl · 16/03/2010 17:09
Ponymum · 16/03/2010 17:09

What type of cheese would you use to entice a bear out of hibernation?

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 17:10

"Dont you think its funny that people get so upset over a thread title? seriously! Freds are where like minded people congregate, clearly if the title aint for you, chances are the fred aint either."

I was thinking the same.

iggs

Ooh banoffee pie... oooh you mean, mean woman. I've had a seriously hard day which is why I've been here too much

I have to go buy cake now!

pony breastmilk cheese? [http://www.landmilkhoney.com/recipanr.htm and other recipes]]

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 17:12

Gosh darn it, I screwed up the link.

Ponymum · 16/03/2010 17:17

rots I have read about breastmilk cheese. Have these people not heard of breastmilk donation schemes for neo-natal units?

No the answer is.... Camembert ! Boom boom!

SomethingSuitablyWitty · 16/03/2010 17:41

Camembert! Brilliant.

Love it.

Kinda want some now though. Damn you pony!

On a tangent that just occured to me: isn't the French for pony actually: "poney"? - as in "faire du poney"?. A good verb. And a useful one for you guys! No need to thank me.
