'The Frolickers Return' Come grab a place in the penthouse and join us for more antics as we sit back sip pornstars and trial hot off the press skincare products... all while we keeeeep shaggin!

[LankyLegs]

Settle down girls settle down as I hand you all a yummy pornstar cocktail complete with a sparkler and tacky umbrella. I take it we are all wearing our fabulous vintage 50's frocks, high heels and have our red lipstick on? Make yourself comfortable in the penthouse... the naked butlers are just heading in with grapes and truffles in trays...

All new first timers welcome - as long as suitable goodies and alcohol are dropped into the penthouse for all to share.

Oh and no AF around here - only FERTD.... Capishe??

Here I was trying not to symptom spot or get my hopes up, but I knew I wouldn't be able to not get excited around about this time of the month! You're the third person to say that Truffkin so will hopefully find out soon!

I am subconsciously trying to tell myself that I'm not pg, that way if ERTD does arrive next friday I won't be too disappointed, but if I am pg I will be over the moon!

Why do I have to wait another week!

Ahhhh Josie - bless very sweet aren't you! I actually don't let myself symptom spot to be honest as it's just a bit of a shitter when ERTD arrives. However it sounds promising chica so mental away!

Truff am super jealous of your dancing - been ages since any dancing went on in Lanky household - although we did attempt last Friday when we were very drunk in some empty bar at 9pm. Hope you have a good'un. You are a Villa girl hey.....?!

Aries pleased you have a chance this month esp after you sounded stupidly busy last time you popped in. Keep us posted - will be very interested in your SS. I is good thanks - a bit cofuzzled about the TTC - will be onto month 12 next. But hey ho ...I guess thats life! Trying to keep positive and busy.

Right one last shitty meeting then I am out of here and going to indulge in a spot of retail therapy on the way home (esp since there is 25% off at Debenhams until tomorrow) so might pop in see if any SHOES take my fancy!

Have great Friday evenings all - may see some of you at the 3 follicles later since I am home alone!

hi aries so good to hear from you. didn't actually get broken into given DH drunkenly stumbled down the stairs to -see what all the noise was-- scared them away.... anyway - so glad to hear you're in with a chance this month. fingers firmly crossed!

Hello lovelies! Just popping in to give my shiny new laptop a test drive! I decided to treat myself as I need a decent machine to do my mumsnetting coursework {wink]

Luckily for me my BiL is a computer wizzkid so he was able to point me in the direction of the best deals around.

Nothing to report in my world at the moment I am afraid - Day 69 (I think) and counting!

Aries lovely to hear from you! Keeping every thing crossed that this is your month.

kkas so sorry to hear about your potential break in and your mum. Fingers crossewd that all is well for her.

DH and I have just booked a long weekend away in Prague for next weekend, though it is slightly work related, I have to go to a race meeting on the Sunday but we are travelling out on the Friday morning (6.30am flight ) and coming home on the Monday. The best part is that my work are paying for our flights and hotel so it will not cost us very much at all!

Must dash now, we;ve had MiL over for lunch and I need to tidy up.

Oh yes, welcome to the Mad House puppy!!

Blimey, I was away for a while, then have been poorly with flu, and lost the thread! You people have been yapping a lot!

I've been ill with flu this week and have missed my window of opportunity :(

But in better news my endo appointment has finally come through and is in a couple of weeks :)

I have tried to catch up but there was too much so I hope everyone is ok

Hi Lovelies,

Just a quicky as just got in and off to bed soon but thought I would just stop by. My friend has had her little girl :) all safe and sound. Very excited- seen a picture and she is beautiful! I have just ordered them this and some gorgeous baby clothes from Cath Kidston.

lanky sorry you've been working so hard- 11 hour days and lots of important presentations it seems too. I hope you went for the pampering option this eve? I loved my staying in and pamper sesh last week. Well, you know me so well... I have not been diagnosed with PCOS. In fact, I asked if the ovary with multiple follicles was polycystic and she said no as the cysts were too small and did not follow the PCOS cyst pattern- she said my right ovary was multi-cystic which is different to polycystic. I have been googling images of polycystic ovaries today and they do not look like what my ovary did on the scan- but still, I have diagnosed my self you know what it's like! She didn't seem concerened abou the multi follicles/cysts but wanted to monitor the bigger cyst on my left ovary. I go back for blood tests on day 2 or 3 of my next cycle and then for a re scan on 15th Oct. How about you? what day next week is your scan?Fingers crossed no ERTD for you next Friday.... would they be able to tell anything at your scan do you reckon.....?Am excited for strictly too :)

kkas Hope your mum is ok sweet. So with you on the feeling homesick at times like this :( Let us know how the op is. Enjoy the christening on Sunday too- sounds lovely (note how I did not comment that your 8 mile walk sounded lovely )

Safe travels crazy- can't wait to hear all about your trip. The Emma Cannon book sounds really interesting- I think I'm going to order it right now in fact! I will def have a porn star for you in Aqua and think of your antics xxx

truffkin Mr. Flick supports Villa so by default, so do I :) Don't meet many villa supporters!

Sorry FERTD got you raspberry :( Lots of TLC and wine coming your way.

Josie...... Sounds good- like truff said!

cave your trip sounds lobvely and great you can get it on work-nice one! What kind of lap top did you get? It's definitely an essential for Mnetting uni

Hope you're feeling better tiger flu is awful and really knocks you for six. Glad you've got your appointment through. We have been chatting rather a lot haven't we?!

Welcome puppy! xxx

Hope you get the results of your blood tests soon tomboy

Lovely to see you as always flo- keep coming back please :)

Sorry to all I've missed, will catch up better tomorrow xxx

hello friday frolickers!

missflick yay for safe arrival of friend's baby and I LOVE the thought of sending a wine and cheese feast! Plus cath k goodies - lovely.

rasberry sorry about the BFN. Hope you're feeling ok about it. Even tougher when you're hopeful - have completely been there.

puppy I think you can get ERTD with anovulatory cycle, but its known as breakthrough bleeding so its often different to your normal ERTD (both in terms of when you get it and what its like - i.e. it could be much heavier or lighter).

Aries lovely to hear from you, and hope you're doing well. Have fingers crossed for you this month.

highheels Thanks for reporting back on the acupuncture. Glad the session left you feeling zen :)

Kkas re the attempted break in and glad DH rescued got there in time! Really hope your mum is ok. Must be horrid feeling so far away, but at least US is v v accessible so if you did want to hop over on a flight there is at least one every day xx

truffkin enjoy the dancing, am v jealous, did lots of dancing at the wedding and always forget how much I LOVE it! Am gutted how much Ultimate Big Brother I've missed - haven't watched it for ages but really got into first few episodes of UBB.

Am fine thanks for asking Lanky - still sneezing hugely, feeling exhausted and a bit sicky but all due to streaming cold I now have. Still terrified - not yet even 5 weeks so trying not to get too excited (this is very hard to do). Hope you have a great evening - did you decide on chillaxing evening or going out with friends? You deserve some self pampering after the hectic week you've had. Maybe you can watch the TV/ have a drink with friends whilst wearing the new shoes you are about to buy in the sale..?

Ok best finish off some work so I can head home and watch the final of UBB. Happy weekends all!

MissFlick this is my new laptop

BiL recommended it as a good deal and said that HP laptops are always good quality.

I've also comes across a good site for software for students (funnily enough called software4students.co.uk!) It has meant that I can get the full Office Professional Plus (rather than the student version) for just £40 instead of £400!

Congratulations to your friends on the safe arrival of their little girl. Are they Hong Kong based too?

I'm another Strictly addict and cannot wait for it to start! Not sure about the launch programme tomorrow night, but hey ho!

I have to admit that I watch it for the Pro Dancers rather than the Celebs. I get good gossip on the UK dancers from my dance teacher, who has trained a number of junior champions herself. She tells me that, if they had concentrated on their competing instead of SCD, Darren and Lilia had the potential to be World Champions. She also tells me that Kristina Rhianoff has the most beautiful feet she has seen for a long time, so I have to make a note to watch her and learn!

This is my teacher (on the right).

I'll share with you my favourite professional dances from SCD history:

- Joanna Leunis is amazing!

My teacher also says that you must remember that what you see on Strictly is not the dancing you will be taught if you attend a class as they tend to use an exagerated "Cabaret" style.

Lecture over!

Have a lovely evening ladies

Hello lovely Flick I knew you would have self diagnosed!! Well it can?t do you any hard following a diet for polycystic ovaries right so well done you for getting on the case. So pleased your friend?s baby arrived safe and sound! Will you get to see when you back over in Oct. Great presents too ? yum cheese hamper! I am indeed in watching UBB and then eastenders. I spent £17 in Waitrose on some olives, nice salami, salad and some nice bread... oh and some vegetable crisps it?s Friday! But seriously Waitrose is lush but pricey! There is a reason I don?t do a weekly shop there. My scan in next weds ?but because of my last cycle being so long it not actually at the right time ? it should be in the first half of my cycle but I haven?t changed it ? am tempted to go anyway! Am pleased you have got another booked in too ? hopefully it will just be one of those ?normal? cysts. Am hoping the same.

Cavey nice looking laptop! All shiny and new!! Your dance teacher looks swish!! Oooh Prague sounds lurvly ? awesome that it will be so cheap for you as well! Hope you have a lovely weekend 

Hello Tiger sorry to hear you have been feeling unwell and also sorry you missed SWI time last week. I guess we all have thos months. Concentrate on feeling better so you are right and ready for next month.

Waves to everyone else!

hard harm...

Hello everyone!

I have actually taken notes whilst reading through all the chatting :0) I really hope I have got all my comments organised to the right people !

KKas soz about the house & I hope that your Mum is ok, thinking of you x

Flick So glad to read that your friend had her daughter :) the prezzie you have chosen is gorgeous, hope you had a good night out.

raspberry I am sooo sorry about ERTD I know how much it hurts :( Fingers crossed for next week x

aly323 that Mayan massage sounds lovely, will google that soon!

Lankylegs hope you have a nice relaxing weekend :)

puppygirl welcome to the thread :) sorry to read about your MC but positive thinking and we will all get there :)

womanly have a fab holiday

Right, as for me, still no sign of ERTD but worked out that my last cycle was 32/33 days long so goodness knows what is happening with this one! I have sore boobs still. After bfn yday I am not testing again until I am over the 32 day mark, if I get there! Tummy feels that it is going to be ERTD soon.
I am shattered too, was supposed to watching DH go karting tonight with all his mates but soo tired couldn't be bothered to go so ordered a huge chinese instead and pigged out. Currently watching Big Bro (think that may have been the real reason hahahaha)

Not much planned for the weekend, I am finally getting my bathroom tiling finished so that is one thing off my list of things to do before I can put the house on the market :0)

Hope you all have a fab weekend xx

Hello again,
Well CD1 for me as I mentioned earlier. Feeling a bit better now, FERTD is making me feel grotty and have had a few teary moments through the day so feel tired ya know? On my second glass of wine though so will probably be asleep before the end of 'enders. I had to pop to co-op to get wine something for tea and there was a man hold a teeny tiny baby on his shoulder and I swear he was following me pointing this absurdly gorgeous baby at me. Nasty horrible man having such a lovely baby :-(

Thank you for all the lovely messages last night and today! Its so good to have people that understand. DP has been absolutely wonderful, he always is though, sometimes I think, even after 10 years that I have found the most perfect man in the world.

tomboy any news?

womanly have a lovely time!!!

higheels sounds like acupuncture went well? Not sure I could last without my coffee. Ive gone decaf this week thinking I might be PG but will be going back proper next week although I know I shouldn't. I'm not really a bad girl the rest of the time I shall ask teacher about Gemini when I go in on Monday, Im sure I know which it is and if its the one I think then you are very good! I'm such a weakling.... I cant hold on long enough to do any seriously kewl moves... working on a cross ankle release as well, I forgot to mention that one...

toria very jealous of working in a jewelry shop, I'd spend a fortune though....would not be safe for me! Hope you got a bit of SWI with DP!

josie fingers crossed for you.... 2ww is sooooo boring. No fun at all.

HRH good work treating yourself to a laptop....very jealous also of the long weekend away. I feel the need for a dirty wknd away with DP - any excuse!!! and thank you for posting the links to the dances!! I am also a strictly freak, I cant wait... and you know about dancing too! I like watching take two episodes during the week when len teaches a move or too, I try to get DP to try but he declares rather loudly that I am being gay and can go stuff myself.

crazy i hadnt heard about the Emma Cannon books? I shall have to look them up. DP has had words with me now, very wise ones but I still sat there like a sulky teenager while he said things like, we have plenty of time, this just wasnt our month, lots of fun to be had future trying. Needless to say I cried and then he said he was worried that I'd make myself sick if I kept stressing like this. That made me cry again, he really is lovely! But I really do need to not get my hopes up so much next time if I'm ever late again.

Hello everyone else, getting moaned at for tapping away while 'enders is on so best call it a night!! hope everyone has a good weekend. xx

Aww, Raspberry, sorry ERTD got you :(

ERTD has departed once again, which is about right timing-wise. I wonder how long this cycle will last now! I am now starting to use up all the LH ov predictor sticks that various friends have donated to me! Is it the done thing to do one every day until you see a positive? I'm a bit clueless

Just wanted to thank Cavey for getting me massively excited with those videos! I also enjoy the pros more than most contestants and am often not in line with popular faves! I do love it when some of the slebs get proper good though and I absolutely heart Claudia on It Takes 2!

Am spending this evening getting all emotional at the Big Brother shows, what a loser! Happy weekend peeps.

Evening ladies!

Raspberry Sorry FERTD got you :( At least you and DP are in it together and can keep each other going. It is terribly tempting in the shop, but after a few months of being skint it gets easier to resist lol. Today I spent all afternoon cleaning and redressing the Ortak stand. Bliss :D I also have a watch and a diamond pendent in the safe waiting for next payday do occasionally treat myself though :)

Kaloki Hope today was wondeful for you, sorry I couldn't get on earlier!

Josie I've heard that one as well, not to get your hopes up how are you feeling otherwise?

Cavey Shiny laptop! Very nice :D And definitely justified by course :)

Tiger Hope you're feeling better.

Puppy Welcome to the madhouse! :D

Kkas To be honest, I can't remember what you looked like, they were very odd dreams. I'm sometimes vaguely prophetic (if you believe my best mate) so maybe our paths are destined to cross! Or maybe I spend too much time online Hope your mum is OK love

I had a fabulous day at work today, which will surely mean tomorrow will be awful but we shall try to stay positive (even though I went round first thing and removed all the signs my illiterate co worker had put up that were full of erroneous apostrophes, doubt she'll take that well tomorrow). Have some work to do on Death tonight (Cross stitch of Terry Pratchett character before anyone gets concerned) and am exhausted so will keep it brief, we did indeed get some SWI in and right on cue my ov pains kicked in about 1am (when I couldn't sleep) and today have EWCM so fingers crossed the swimmers make it! Hope everyone is having a good Friday night, and Hello, and Sorry to everyone I've missed!

Morning Lovely Ladies

Just a very quick message from me as haven't been on for a few days because been very hectic with work/client drinks etc.

Will do a proper catch up later. Have my whole family coming over for a BBQ later and the weather is looking decidedly grey! Had a mad panic yesterday as we don't have space inside to seat everyone but managed to rent a small marquee which should be arriving any minute.

MissFlick - very pleased to hear about your friend's baby. I think after my absence last few days I will be in detention for the next week .

Evil - good luck with the SWI this cycle!

Lanky - I hope that you indulged in the retail therapy last night. You definitely sound like you deserve it after all your hard work.

HRHCavey -loving the new name and the new laptop!

Hello to everyone else - this was only a quick catch up

I had what felt like ERTD cramps yesterday at work. This morning I decided to POAS again just to make sure (still no symptoms) and.... BFP 1-2 weeks!

Not going to get overexcited this time given what happened last time so just keeping everything crossed that this one is here to stay. And now I'm convinced that CB tests are far better than First Response!

Lots of love

Bellaby

Here's sending lots of sticky thoughts your way Bellaby.

Bellaby!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!

I'm so pleased for you! Totally understand that you don't want to get overexcited so I will calm down now.

Bella !!! Fabulous news - am so very pleased for you . But of course won't get too excited . I hope you have a great day at your bbq - are you going to keep it a secret?!

Bella great news, sending lots of positive thoughts and sticky dust to you.

Back later to catch up with everyone else. Happy weekend to all! :)

bellaby That's such good news, I am so pleased for you and your DH. I am wishing you the most boring 8 months ever. I know what you mean about not getting too excited but allow yourself a quick

evil Good luck SWI'ing. I used ov sticks and basically yes use them from about day 7 until you get a postive. You might find that you get a stronger and stronger 2nd line until eventually its darker than the control line or it might just happen quickily. Best time to use them is in afternoon at the same time each day as the LH surge happens during the day. I used them just after work to get into a routine. Remember they aren't infallable and don't be disheatened (or celibate!) or you don't get a positive. I think it was oneof8 who never got a positive ov stick but still got herself a BFP.

kkas Your near break in sounds very scary and its a definate warning to us all. Glad your DH was brave and went to investigate. I am also sorry to hear about your mum. I hope its not what you fear. Thinking of you.

Ooooo Bellaby how exciting!

Toria I feel normal otherwise, a bit of fluttering in my stomach and teeny tiny cramping right about now but I could easily be imagining it like last month as I have been googling 9hangs head in shame 0 Absolutely knackered this morning but that's because I was up at 6.30am bringing the horse in from the rain. No signs of sickness, sore boobs etc so I'm not getting too hopeful.

Raspberry 2ww really is boring! I'm more impatient than anyone I know so it's really hard! Still got to wait until next friday!

I watched 16 and pregnant this morning and got upset looking at all the little babies so I've turned over to supernanny now, if anything can put you off kids that can

Oh bella that is brill news!!! Very much hope it's a sticky one so very chuffed for you xxx

Bellaby Oh my gosh, thats such great news!!! I'm so so pleased for you. I hope this is the start of a very boring and progressively bigger in the tummy department for you.

Bellaby Congratulations on the BFP!!

Good luck to anyone else testing over the weekend.

kaloki Congratulations on the wedding and hope you both had a lovely day :)
