Come along, we haven't got all day. Pop off your blazers and straw boaters for a mo and listen up. As Head Girl, I think you ought to know that my dear chum Darrell Rivers tells me that we're really letting the side down with our lack of baybee-winning. To that end, instead of prep and lacrosse, we'll be TTC. I know some of us are losing hope that we'll ever win the Motherhood Cup for our house, but chins up and think of England! We don't won't to end up like the bitter, childless, dried-up old spinsters running this place, do w... oh, hello Matron! Yes, yes, we're going now...

Super! We've been given the attic dorm - bagsy the bed by the window, what! We won't be disturbed when we're enjoying midnight feasts, unbridled lesbianism, pillow fights and sneaking in fellows from the nearby boy's school for some ghastly dreadfulness.

So let's pop some Joyce Grenfell on the gramophone and crack open the tuck boxes! Mater's made me a huge ginger cake and oooh, I see someone's brought pontefract cakes! Yummo! Humbugs, sherbet, elderflower fizz, eccles cakes, a whole slab of choccy - what a simply smashing haul! Hmmm, this ginger beer smells suspiciously gin-like...

Oh yes

BTW, cheers Vowel, I used your wording.

HopOnLegolas · 01/09/2010 18:38

THANK you very much

Ariesgirl · 01/09/2010 19:05

Plop what does scatological mean?

saltyair · 01/09/2010 19:09

Evening Haggies.

Are we deciding how we will get baybees out, once we've finally got 'em in?

I'm going with Scorps to T'hozzy..I'll wait until 6 months if I have to, but would rather just go immediately after fertilisation. Will have epidural soon as i get there, then live on pethidine and crisps, with a nice vitamin drip until baybee is born after gentle and ladylike cough.

Ariesgirl · 01/09/2010 19:17

I'm having an argument with some smug cow woman in AIBU! Fight, fight, fight!

Scorpette · 01/09/2010 19:18

Put simply, Aries, scatological basically means being obsessed with shit (like making lots of ploppy bum jokes). You big poopooface!

YAY for Salty - I will have a pal besides me in the special Crony Mums Neurosis Ward Grin We can take it in turns to ask everyone if they've washed their hands and to beg for reassurance every hour that we're not going to die during or after labour!

Mind you, I have a big arse, big feet and short waist/torso, so am hoping I'll suddenly feel a discreet little queef (thanks for introducing me to that term... you monsters!) and find I has a baybee in my knickknacks.

They don't even let new old mums sneeze out babeys at our local maternity unit, sumit to do with being in the middle of nowhere or more accurately about 25 miles of rural road to nearest acutal doctor inhabiting hospital.

Scorps We can demand a special sideroom, on account of us being, you know, special....in fact, shall we go now just to be safe, and have sperms delivered to us at appropriate points??

Rie pliz to say what argument is about, I want to lurk

Scorpette · 01/09/2010 19:26

Yes please, SmellingSalts. We can demand everyone wears hazmat suits and that we get a lovely birthing pool and a library of groovy books.

I really want a birthing pool. That's another major reason why I want a hozzy birth. Bollocks am I going to buy one and fill it up in my own home.

saltyair · 01/09/2010 19:28

OOHH...I want a birthing pool too...If it was in my house one of the cats would jump in. They try when I'm in the bath. little freaks...

Can we please have some lovely music too, and frequent delicious meals brought to us...

Ariesgirl · 01/09/2010 19:29

She's stopped arguing with me. Has obviously decided I wasn't worth the effort and I was a bit thick. It was a skinny-bashing thread, the "Real Women" one. My point was, anyone who has a vagina is a real woman, non? And all shapes and sizes of women get sick and tired of people thinking it's ok to comment on your shape and size, whether you're skinny or large. She implied I was a thicko www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1031597-to-think-large-ladies-proclaiming-themselves-real-women

Ariesgirl · 01/09/2010 19:30

I didn't read the whole tedious thread, which she took exception to.

saltyair · 01/09/2010 19:35

A can of hurtful offensive worms! Nice going RieRie, now, do you want me to sort out the nasty rude lady for you?

Ariesgirl · 01/09/2010 19:37

Yeah, do it. Bitch!

Scorpette · 01/09/2010 19:39

Gawd, what a cow. Some people post all the time in AIBU and they get really 'who the fuck said you could join in, bitch?' Angry I think what you said was perfectly reasonable. My Mum is naturally bird-like and she's had to put up her whole life with idiots demanding she admits she's anorexic or on a permanent diet (ha! She eats her own bodyweight in chocolate and cake every day!), wondering out loud why men would find her attractive, calling her scrawny, bony, skeleton, etc. And cos she is also very short, people ask if she had some disease that made her stay the size of a child! And, the thing she finds most hurtful, is that people somehow take her size personally, like she's only thin just to make them feel fat! Before I put on weight, I used to get that a bit too (was 10, sometimes an 8, Mum is 6-8). I bet you've had that too, Rievita, huh? Sad Angry I hate all that 'real women' shit too.

Blush I have actually just posted....

Ariesgirl · 01/09/2010 19:49

Yes, those examples I used were true. I don't get it so much now actually, but it's what I see in the likes of the Daily Piece of Shit which make me annoyed. I find "bag of bones" particularly offensive as though I'm some kind of famine victim. And this whole thing where you get told that "at least clothes fit you". Not true. Tops are a pain in the arse - they are baggy where they should be tight over a straining bosom etc and people say "Ew, your collar bones stick out". Buying a wedding dress was awful because they are ALL strapless and I can't keep them up!

Everyone moans about something I guess. Oh well, I have arms, legs, fingers, toes etc.

Ariesgirl · 01/09/2010 19:50

Ha ha, nice one *Salts!

saltyair · 01/09/2010 19:57

I have hurty bazookas and periodish pains Hmm

Someone slap me, ad tell me to stop it, or I'll be in The Pit for a month when Droid appears....

Ariesgirl · 01/09/2010 20:01

Speaking of aquatic life, how's little wotzername, Scorps? Your squid?

saltyair · 01/09/2010 20:03

Ette has a pet squid she just gets cooler by the minute....

Ariesgirl · 01/09/2010 20:05

Um...yes. It's not real...

Evening all, have been on a training course today so no access to MN at all. I also have a stupidly busy day at work tomorrow planned by my lazy boss who is going on holiday so built up a nice pile of jobs today in order to hand them over to me.

Sorpington sorry you were feeling down but glad some BESH loving could bring you up a bit. I would like to add my own affection and in the spirit of a good lezzing off (as would befit any girls boarding school) am sending a raised shirt and traing bra-d boob jiggle your way

I wanted to share my good news though, the bloody droid only turned up today! Shortest natural cycle yet (33 days - practically normal!)

Sorry to be so 'me, me, me' but have limited time this evening and wanted to share the good news! Am really hoping this means I can count on more shorter cycles now so I can actually have an effing clue when I might be ovulating.

Am hoping to spend some quality time MNing on Friday, when I aim to be less busy with real work!
