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

Evening all - Skater has a baybeeeee! Smile

RunLyraRun · 05/09/2010 20:12

Oh dear, sorry to hear that Muser Radcliffe. Hope you've got an ice pack on it.

RunLyraRun · 05/09/2010 20:13

Oh my goodness, x-post with Twink - hotfoot to the Deli, gals!

Headbanger · 05/09/2010 20:18

Ooooo, there's a SkaterGrrrrrlorBoy!

Scorpette · 05/09/2010 20:28

"I mostly feel a bit sore Lyra. I pulled something in my thigh. But I am proud of myself."

I believe those were your exact words when you conceived Bob, were they not, Muse? Wink

Ooohhhhh, SkaterrrrrrBabe! ACTIVATING DELI LURK!

PS Shag him anyways, Aries. Drunk and amorous might be no bad thing Grin

Muser · 05/09/2010 20:49

Haha. I think my actual words when I conceived Bob were "oh god, I think I'm ovulated and I can't be bothered. Hurry up love."

It's all about the romance chez Muse.

Headbanger · 05/09/2010 20:52

Muse that is da troofs. Last night's SWI failure was largely because I was practically reading DH Lawrence over his shoulder Grin. Here's hoping he can get the job done rather quicker tonight or indeed at all.

HopOnLegolas · 05/09/2010 21:23

Yo Demee, see you knows who I am by now.

UKSubs I am sure tha laydeez here remember my panicked screetches and rantings re. HSG (If you want a definition of uncool and cowardly, search for that fred.) I ended up being one of the people that lucked out and felt naught. Tons of blood though, don't let that surprise you! But, like the ladies have said, no way to know how you'll react. Can you leave the following morning? How long did it take you to recover Lyritis?

Ariella I dunno. I can tell you that's how CH used to be to start with. But slowly with nothing happening and him going all gooey when seeing other kids, he started taking it tres seriously. Now the poor bugger is resigned to the quickie before bedtime as he just came back from work Sad. It sounds like both you and the man needed to relax, so maybe don't be that harsh on him. Now, what should I pack this time of year? Do we need any evening wear? I see Salts volunteers to cook. BTW, very excited abt all the symptoms there. Do we get to kick you in the kidneys tomorrow, whatdyareckon SaltyOne?

Fey mountaineer, SaladSpinner, your talent keeps me in awe.

Whoz Skater?

Saladbomb · 05/09/2010 21:45

Oh god yes, are you going to test tomorrow seabreeze? Or are you going to be ever so good and wait a few more days? I have decide i am going to HAVE to buy an iphone just so i can get on MN during the working day as i just can not stand the suspense any more.

Is odd legover as it is only your name I seem to be able to get so creative with, you are my muse Wink (oh that might get a bit confusing)

Congratulations to Skatergrrrrl even tho I do not know her as she graduated to the Deli long before I joined, she demands the respect due to the FESH.

owlshoes · 05/09/2010 22:28

Aries my DH also asked before we started TTC "I will still be able to go windsurfing won't I?" I said "yes provided you buy a van with enough room for a baybee seat." And thus it was. Grr at the drunken surfers though, how do menfolk manage do this with such amazing precision whenever SWI is on the cards?

You lot talk too much, I've just had to trawl through pages and now I bet there's no imaginary tarka daal left either (does that have real otter in it?)

I've got my DMs lined up ready to kick salts in the kidneys tomorrow Grin but I can see I will have to take my place in the lengthy queue. POAS! POAS!

Scorpette · 05/09/2010 22:47

Skaterrzzz is a founding BESH. She saved me from the AIBU wilderness when I was a mere babe-in-arms So am vvvvv happy she has had her own lovely little actual babe-in-arms-Skatergrrrrl :)

HopOnLegolas · 06/09/2010 00:05

Well, I never asked about our noble history. Pray tell, when was the foundation stone for La Palais laid? Who were our mighty foremothers?

Scorpette · 06/09/2010 00:28

Verily, 'tis a story shrouded in myth and legend. One I think you need someone like Lyra for (what with her being our goddess and An Original)...

I joined when it had been going a fortnight or so, if I remember rightly. Ah, them were the days. Drawing our 2nd line on with red biro and not a care in the world

OP posts:
PollyPoo · 06/09/2010 07:48

Morning all, care to join me in a round of flaming sambucas to kick start the morning? Anyone? Oh, you are all still in bed.....

Salty POAS!

Headbanger · 06/09/2010 08:03

Another day without SWI . Perhaps I'll go and jump him now. Morning glory anyone

POAS salts! Been too frigging long since we had diffment round here! Pull your socks up woman, and your knickers down! Wink

I too would like the full tale of our genesis, ClamberOn. Having been here since January (I think) I feel like a comparative n00b...

SkiHorseWonAWean · 06/09/2010 08:32

hopon - A brief history of the world can be found here : www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/733956-Mid-Thirties-First-time-TCC - I'm happy to report that many of us from that first thread have won our baybees - although Cosmosis is still pregnant - having TTC for so long she now refuses to give it up.

Headbanger · 06/09/2010 08:45

Morning Ski! How's you and your bonny boy?

Right then , that's today's SWI seen to Grin.

Incidentally, talking of POASing, when does our AppleScore start the 2WOOFL?

Casserole · 06/09/2010 08:53

That thread made me smile, and made me sad, in equal measure. Just leaving some lovin' and a special sack of Twirls for Laurie, who has been at this game far too fucking long and for whom my BESH candle is going to burn brightly today. No justice...

Now then. There is not nearly enough of Le Secks happening on this thread, do you hear me? I am fed up with being the noob in the deli and I want more friends over there thankyou muchly pliz.

I demand tales of lampshade breaking, pillow under arsing and headstands against walls BY THE END OF THE DAY. I will arrange jugs of still lemonade, iced buns and potted meat sandwiches for post-coital refreshment, plus I have some menthol ciggies that my French penpal sent me, but you mustn't tell Matron, I'm on warning already after the fish paste debacle. No messin. If the menfolk won't oblige, bring them to me. I'll scare 'em.

Casserole · 06/09/2010 08:54

Ah! Good girl Pencil

Headbanger · 06/09/2010 09:05

Oooooo I love menthols Cassoulet! I'll be behind the bike sheds sharing them with Monsieur Fouffe, the amusingly camp new French teacher...

I shall now read the Gospel According To BESH and get all misty and nostalgic

Headbanger · 06/09/2010 09:08

I've got a special candle lit for LaurieLoopyLoo too...

laurielou · 06/09/2010 09:08

Blimey, only a weekend has gone by since I last posted & so much to catch up on!

Welcome moley. V impressed by muchos stalkage.

salts a definite kick in the chuff to those thoughtless people Angry

poll belated Happy Birthday! Hope you had a fab day.

head you managed to SWI now? Re cystitis. Another sufferer here, always peed after Teh Secks, still fell foul of a couple of bouts. However last few months have decided to lie in bed furiously clenching after Teh Secks - & no cystitis (frantically touches wood). So not sure what to make of that.

Fab noos abouts skates though that lady doesn't know how to queue politely Grin

ski how lovely to see you round these here parts. Thanks for the orignal linkage - seems a lifetime ago now! And look how far I've come since Hmm. Seriously, I love a bit of nostalgia me, so I'm clearing my calendar & settling down for a good ole read.

In my life - we've SWI on CD's 7, 9, 11 & 13. Currently on day 14 & a day off (thanks be to God). Still going for my baybee promising reflexology, got the boyf eating pumpkin seeds, back to yoga tonight so the "relax and it will happen" brigade can STFU, FC on Thurs (am starting to get a bit wibbly about this now) - anything else I need to do?

poll its never too early for a flaming sambuca. Lubberly!

RunLyraRun · 06/09/2010 09:09

Miss, ooh miss, we have SWI'd 3 days in row, miss - do I get a gold star?

Think I joined in June last year :(
