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 may have to duck out of this business for the moment. It just ain't working. Fuck knows how we would cope with a small screaming, demanding, pooing wee thing anyway :(. Will be in t'other place if anyone wants me.

Possibly a visit to Relate may be more appropriate.

RunLyraRun · 06/09/2010 12:15

Hurray for Cosmo's boy baby.

Thanks for my lovely necklaces :). Would insist that you club together to buy me the actual "Lyra necklace", if it didn't have the word God on it. Goddess, I could work with :o.

I was all for skipping last night's shag, but HO very firmly told me that spending all weekend on MN and researching fertility clinics will definitely NOT get us a baybee - but SWI might. He might have a point there Hmm. Although I have had no FFJ whatsoever for the last 2 months, so I'm probably not even ovulating :(. Plenty of pre-seed required in Lyraland (also use just the tube as lube, not the squirty gizmo).

Maybe I should get a CBFM? Always thought there was no point because of PCOS, but now I apparently don't have it Hmm, it might be worth a go, non?

RunLyraRun · 06/09/2010 12:19

Oh Aries, I'm sorry, what a shit time to x-post. Hope you're OK. I can't access t'other place from work, but will visit later. We are currently at Relate so I can give a view on that. Big squueeeze with no feffing xx

owlshoes · 06/09/2010 12:26

I reckon it's worth a bash, Lyra , if you can spare the money (or blag one off someone PESHular)

If nothing else it is amusing me in the mornings when I look at it and it tells me there is no point in shagging today.

12pt Sad Sad

Have contacted you elsewhere in case you don't come back here but I am so saddened by your post. Is it "just" ttc stress taking it's toll, do you think? Or more than that?

Wish you were nearer for Head and I to force feed you baked goods...

Casserole · 06/09/2010 12:46

Owl pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell me that message is communicated by a giant cock with a big red cross through it??

Orchid12 · 06/09/2010 12:48

Rierie - I don't know what this 'other place' is so can't come to visit, but if you're still around here lurking I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so despondant. You know where we are if you need a good old rant. We've all been through rocky times with our relationships (well, I have at least) and it is shite, especially if it's TTC related as that is the one thing that should bring you together. What I'm trying to say unsuccessfully is that if you want to talk, please don't feel like we don't understand (although I think by now you know that!)

Scorpette · 06/09/2010 12:54

Off for a girly avo with me Mum, but had to stop by first and offer RieRie a big snog and a 'don't give up hope' manly punch. I heart you! XX

Yes, Cass , it is :D

Bloody hell this TTC business makes a right mess of things doesn't it. And I'm not just talking about pillowcases.

If anyone finds Aries in The Other Place (sounds terrifying) pliz to throw currant buns at her until she comes back.

I have just posted a ranty BESHmessage on one of the telegraph articles that was wittering about how it was shit to have a child in August. Yeah, like we can plan that sort of thing. I feel so middleaged. :/

Casserole · 06/09/2010 13:12

Brilliant. And how many days of the month do you get this symbol Owly ? I might have to invest in one even now diffulated Wink

Have a nice girly avo Scorpula , that sounds nice. Me and my Mum keeps talking about going away to a spa but never seem to get round to organising it...

Headbanger · 06/09/2010 13:13

Aries darling I will be in t'other place as soon as I can. XX

Medee · 06/09/2010 13:22

((Aries)) this business is tough, hope you and the mister get what help you need.

owlshoes · 06/09/2010 13:33

I do not know yet, Cassoulet as I have only used it for 4 days. I suspect if diffed it probably flashes a large warning light and the cock with a red line through it for, oooh, about 9 months.

Casserole · 06/09/2010 13:46

Really? Disappointing. I was hoping for at last 14 months Grin

ginhag · 06/09/2010 14:00

Am SOOOOOO pleased at the PESHlets! Hooray for skates n cos!

I joined the palace at the beginning of the second fred... after writing a short essay begging to be accepted! think that was what lured prefectdrom out of lurkage... and scorps followed shortly after.

Can't be arsed to link to second thread but think it was 30s ginpalace.

ginhag · 06/09/2010 14:02

aries another x-post from me, sorry. And so sorry you are having an awful time. You have the beshlove with you for support whenever it helps, regardless of what the troubles are.

Big unashamed xxs

ginhag · 06/09/2010 14:04

btw 'otherplace' is just that some of us know each other on fb. Sounds more ominous than it is :)

Muser · 06/09/2010 14:11

I was a BESH latecomer, I would have joined around Oct/Nov time. And I hardly qualified as a BESH, having only just started doing the unprotected shagging. But the BESHies were lovely and let me stay.

Aries lovely, I hope you are ok. Big smooches and gin cocktails.

Headbanger · 06/09/2010 14:16

Yeah. Yeah, it's FB, that's what it is

laurielou · 06/09/2010 14:18

Aries you're post made me so sad. If you're still lurking I can't access other place from work. Will be there as soon as I can this evening.

Hope you can take some time out this afternoon, xx

Casserole · 06/09/2010 14:23
Grin

Rierie if I get my bazookas out and dance around a bit will you come back? Pleeeeeeease???

laurielou · 06/09/2010 15:14

OK, I haz a question & believe it or not I'm a bit embarrassed .

Oral sex. Blow jobs to be exact. Saliva kills off the sperms, so are they a no-no?

Headbanger · 06/09/2010 15:24

Gosh, I didn't think of that, but I've just Googled, and a few websites advice not to give a gobble when TTC. Erm, oops! But...surely it can't be that bad? I mean the majority of the sperm would still be inside when there's saliva all about; by the time you're actually having penetrative sex, the spermz are well away from that end, no?

Muser · 06/09/2010 15:32

Ahem. I can confirm that saliva does not mean no diffedness. At least when he is doing the giving to you. I presume you giving to him would be similar.

I think the saliva stuff is just sent to scare us into having crap sex. Grin
