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

I think tis probably age Girlie.

I remember drinking 7 x 250ml of Biere d'Alsace and having a pee per bottle. The disgrace! As this session was taking place in a field next to a river, I stung my bum on nettles repeatedly.

Saladbomb · 04/09/2010 11:39

straightAgirl get yourself a she-pee. Avoids stung bum and accidental wet foot syndrome.

Muser · 04/09/2010 11:40

I also go to the loo every 5 minutes when out drinking. On the bright side, when you do all get diffed the 'increased need to pee' won't even register.

owlshoes · 04/09/2010 11:41

Whoop! Greetings lurky lurker Watervole .

I always fancy a cup of tea after a shag, but having succumbed to a particularly evil bout of cystitis many years ago I too go with the 'pee after sechs' school of thought which has worked well so far. In terms of speeding it up, morning-sechs tends to be quicker. Don't know why.

Re. Waxing/epilating - that's got to hurt. I am resigned to having hairier arms than those who are blonde but fuckit, life is too short.

I only just got the Ariel/Rod Hull quip. I am clearly a bit slow atm. I blame the two delicious ales I quaffed last night.

Scorpette · 04/09/2010 11:46

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, POOFACE! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE Smoocheroonies from your 'Pette'

Morning, slags gels! I can't believe they want us to do our lacrosse practice on a Saturday... quick, let's pile into Moomin's daddy-car and zoom off to the nearest Wimpy* for malted shakes and burgers!

As the Elders here know, I do not remove any body hair for the similar reasons as HB: 1) I don't really have any and 2) as one of them there Femmynists I see the idea that women should remove it as highly offensive and a tool for making wimminz look non-adult/less human-normal. But mainly cos of 1; I'm embarrassingly hairless - I actually really DO have a Barbie Beaver Grin Perhaps if I wasn't the only dark-haired woman alive not to be hairy, my political principles would be verr different...

HB, I obvy lie around for a bit after Teh Secks (20 mins at least) and then rush for a piss. This seems to work for me. Or do you get the pissfire if you don't wazz the second your foofoo is free of winky?

I like Molesworth, can we keep her?

*My parents assure me that Wimpys were more like American diners back in the day and were the place to go to, in the 50s and early 60s. On the other hand, this is Derbyshire we're talking about, so...

ONLY JUST GOT THE ROD HULL JOKE! IS EXTREMELY CLEVER! Grin

And may I just add: GREEN JELLY!

That'll sort out the comedy wheat from the chaff...

Having wikipeded extensively researched the Hallowed Towers of Mallory, I can assert that am most definitely NOT Darryl: my athletic prowess not being at all matched by academic achievements, and not having Hot Temper, rather more of a sulky slow burner I'm afraid. I'd settle for Sally, she's new too, non? (though secretly wishing to be
Belinda as have scatterbrain down pat, and would quite relish 'keeping a book to record BESHboobsize Gwen's scowls.'

Thank you for welcome, am most humbled. And (never, NEVER start a sentence with and) also for not minding tooooo much about lurkerage.

Tip I once had regarding cystitis- make sure when you pee you count to ten slowly, so you're all emptied out. Don't pee on the hop in other words. Am with you on the lengthy shagging, 'ladies first' not always the best motto, when you have to keep doing it all the bloody time.

Saladbomb · 04/09/2010 11:49

scorps i can remember the Wimpy on Victoria Road being like that in the mid 80's, you got cutlery and EVERYTHING. Then they opened a MacDonalds (boo hiss, when you say that name) over the road and I think it closed down about a year later.

saltyair · 04/09/2010 11:52

I still don't get the Rid Hull joke Blush

Scorpette · 04/09/2010 12:02

First, ask yourself how Rod Hull died...

OP posts:
saltyair · 04/09/2010 12:03

He fell off a roof?

Ariesgirl · 04/09/2010 12:04

I don't even know!! I thought he had a heart attack. Clearly not right and something to do with TV aerials.

starnosemole · 04/09/2010 12:23

Scorpette meant to mention that I had my lap in April, and achtually got diffed at the end of September, though straight away sounds better, but like dog years multiply I have to divide by 2 because of tubal impediment, so it seems less to me, anyway what am very clumsily trying to say is don't lose hope yet... Also, I think you rock. Though am massively intimidated by your wordsmithery and fashionista status, also also, do hail originally too from the land of the Hood. where the water is crossed, and the sun sets. (Though don't now, and Do Not Wish To Discuss Where I Have To Live At Present. Boys, pah)

saltyair · 04/09/2010 12:25

Still don't get it. Think I may be too stupid to be a BESH Sad

Scorpette · 04/09/2010 12:52

Rod Hull died when he fell off his roof trying to fix an aerial as he couldn't get a proper tv reception when watching a football match.

Aerial = Aries, et voila!

Starbright, do not be intimidated by me (unless I'm demanding sexual favours). And I am very disappointed by my fashionista-ness at the mo. I ordered THIS (I had a massive discount code, woohoo) and I look like Henry VIII (in the famous Holbein painting) going to a fancy dress party as Paddington Bear. Not really the uber-fash look I was going for.

Is whizzo to find another Maid Marion Grin Although am worried about how many of us there are, statistically-speaking, on here: perhaps there's some dodgy anti-fertility shiz in the water round here? Confused

will do lines to make up for the stupid.

There's a few of us in The West too Scorps...

HopOnLegolas · 04/09/2010 13:04

Who's Rod Hull?

So as this is my first trial month post HSG do I get OMG!!1!!TWINZ!!!!11!!LOL!!!11!!? Or is HSG less mighty than L&D?

Scorpette · 04/09/2010 13:14

Rod Hull and Emu!

HopOnLegolas · 04/09/2010 13:16

Awwwww. Poor bloke. Today's Gunariad's got a story of how difficult it is to get a child into a decent school. Maybe I should get updiffed beefore I start worrying about that.

owlshoes · 04/09/2010 14:14

My Dad is from the land of the 'Hood, does that count? But presently I am halfway between the 'Hood and the West. Tis quite civilised here.

Mole Scunthorpe? Bognor? Cwmbran? Milton Keynes? Wirral? Okay I've run out of shit places. Apologies to any of you who actually live there.

Like you, I also went and looked up Malory Towers (on Wikipedia) and Gwen sounds like a right biatch. I think this one sounds more like me:

Emily is quiet, likes sewing. She is largely unnoticed, and not heard of from Form 3.

HopOn Yes, absolutely, any internal poking is surely worth OMFGTWINZ. Having said that, am I the only one who would absolutely shit themselves if they found out they were expecting twinz?

Chiz chiz.

Saladbomb · 04/09/2010 14:27

I have a rather unhealthy fixation that an HSG would magically fix my plumbing and result in instadiff. I am sooo setting myself up for a fall there. I have started reading the book BirthdayPoll sent me. It is very good already and is making me feel a bit more Zen, reminded me that I was not really sure that I want to go down the AC route before I started panicking that I might not have the opportunity. I am really glad because I want to hold onto that next week and remember that its up to us what we decide to do, we don't have to take all the options if we don't want to.

moley and owl (wait a minute, itsn't that the wrong children's book?) there is a questionnaire somewhere that determines which character you would be from M Towers (although it did seem rather arbitrary) the link will be on the first page if you can be arsed.

RunLyraRun · 04/09/2010 14:50

Crikey Pette, that cape is bloody awful, what were you thinking!

Hello Moley, you certainly have been doing your homework and are lining up to be teacher's pet :)

I am a summer (and special occasions) leg shaver, like Aries.

Talking of aerials, does anyone know when Aerie's baby arrived, what she had, etc.? I miss her.

If I'm required to have an orgasm in order to get knocked up, then it ain't going to happen. The female orgasm is an elusive creature in our house. I think I'm probably not wired up the right way :(

Did I miss the feast? Thort it was tonite (deliberate, to rattle HB's cage :)).

Ariesgirl · 04/09/2010 15:30

Could you, you know, do post coital DIY, Lyra. You have my sympathy. Apparently boys think it's normal for the Lady to orgasm during actual hump'n'grind. Again, wrong.

Ariesgirl · 04/09/2010 15:31

I forgot a question mark. 10,000,000 lines for me.
