Ancient Egypt; where the regal BESH barge floats gently in De Nile.

[owlboots]

Glittering seductively in the evening sun, crewed by swarthy slaves, waited on hand and foot by bare-chested manservants bearing a rudimentary form of gin.

We have golden temples decorated with hieroglyphs for sacrificial offerings (and woo from the soothsayers) if required, and The Pit is full of asses? milk.

So, put on your eye make-up that goes out as far as your ears and jewellery so weighty it leaves dents in your head and step out to survey the peasants on the banks.

Come join the 30s TTC if your womble is as ancient and crumbly as Tutankhamen! Egypt; the thread where everyone eventually gets to be a mummy whether they like it or not.

yaayyyyyy! LadygoneBFP so glad for you! Clearly being a walking spunk receptacle is the way forward! Havn't actually broken pact myself as have run- out of sticks-- am very, very honourable. On an unrelated topic have just ordered a bumper box off amazon.

rocket your mental image was spot on and all I can report is: seems more to the left than usual.

owlie if you're out there this thread seems to be a winner!

Naked Egyptian Dancing for LadyGaga!

Hurrah! So pleased for you!

See, this is really a lucky thread. (Owwwllliiieee, see?! You should come back now ;))

Thanks for the Ski info. It IS wrong that I live in northern Italy and don't go skiing more often, I know. [shame]

milano If I can drive from yours to mine in a day to ski...

Yay LadyG! Brilliant news!

And All Hail the Owl Goddess, who has blessed this sacred barge

So are you sticking to Weds to POAS, Bitey?

PS fertility friend is claiming that I should be expecting the droid from tomorrow. I did have a freakishly early one last month which may have thrown its calender out of whack but as you can imagine I am going to be spending the whole day weeing on sticks, in ramekins and myself with fear the menkul!

[entirely carried away with ginfox and gaga's updiffedness emoticon]

gaga I have no sticks to hand. The advantage of living in the arse end of nowhere in the countryside is that impulse purchase opportunities are thin on the ground. However, I am intending to go the gym in a bit and there happens to be a sainsbury's next door. I could buy a two pack later as they are much better value while I wait for the internet cheapies to come.... Are you still dancing for joy??

T'is really hard as am at work. Not that have done much today .

The other thing that put me off testing on Weds is I have to get up really early to travel to London to give a presentation about the Hendrink's brand (yes, really) and think I would really struggle to deliver it if had only just found out!

Test in am Bitey with FMU. I used a First Response and came up nicely. (Internet cheapie only showed a mere glimmer that may have been a trick of the light)

Just rushing in to offer my heartiest congrats to LadyWonABOC your fertileness is inspiring! (am 5DPO and feel annoyingly normal)

Truff is prob just because I have had one before and was pregnant only two months ago. So I know all the signs, even the really subtle ones which you might not pick up. First pregnancy I was about two weeks late before I realised. Just thought I was a bit run down!

How's chart looking? Can you link? (Too lazy to go and find it)

LadyGeeGee whoop whoop whoop!!! Hurrah for this great thread. Really pleased for you

Just popped by to say CONGRATUMALATIONS to lady. Absolutely fabulous news

Only 5 DPO so looking how it would look either way for the time being but here it is anyway

I'm considering if this month isn't 'It' maybe having a bit of a breal over Christmas. I'm pleased to have a relatively regular cycle now and am getting to know more about what it does, but am a little weary of trying and being disappointed each month. Maybe if I can chill a bit it might help me out. Still, who knows if that feeling will remain next month hey! Sure the mekul will kick in shortly.

I'm with you Truff - I was having the same conversation with myself this morning. Think I'll just give it this cycle and then stop stressing until Jan. Means I can have have a drink enjoy Christmas. FF is still telling me I've not laid an egg but I am hoping for a higher temp tomorrow.

Strike through fail. What a twat.

I know what you mean about Christmas, also my SIL on TGB's side and my brother's girlfriend (found out yesterday!) are pregnant as well as 3 (yes that's right people THREE) of the ladies on TGB's friends side are diffed so might be nice to have a rest for a bit and let the mekul ease away.

I think I'd keep charting though so I know what's happening and can use it to time sex without intent for a change!

or meNkul even - twat squared

Have just read your blurb Truff - I'm an INTJ. Lists.Lists.Lists. Love Mr Myers & Mr Briggs.

Could be a nice dip, Truff? Will keep watching x

ISTJ here.

Lists make me feel queasy SummerLovin and I don't like to plan more than a few days ahead when I can avoid it!

LadyG thanks for the vote of confidence am still keeping my hopes in check (just!) but they're still there under the surface.

Evening- gagacadabra!!!!!!!!!! can I get whoo hoooop!!! V V V V chuffed for you lovely lady, here's to the velcroest of uteri and a boring, bog standardy perfect pg!!!!

Where's the blurb?

Today, ladies, I am dull. If possible I've peaked too early for Christmas (I know, I know, I shouldn't have gone to the lovely Garden Centre with the pretty trees yesterday) and now feeling very flat, and in cycle limbo. And dull.
Was thinking about giving it a rest over Christmas, so as not to ruin the jolliness with fretting over too many bottles glasses di vino, but then remembered that that's what I did last year, and got overcome by ancient gloom. Think will go for a stern talking to in the crypt, with that slave boy over there, the one with the whip and wearing what looks like a flimsy leather nappy. Am picturing him somewhat like <a class="break-all" href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/rocky-horror-glee-show_2.png%3Fw%3D305%26h%3D305&imgrefurl=collegecandy.com/tag/bad-body-image/&usg=__MbXYTuiHizAfuFhkRxhlDmvkyfM=&h=270&w=270&sz=130&hl=en&start=251&zoom=1&tbnid=lUo4fGLNiW1HlM:&tbnh=144&tbnw=132&prev=/images%3Fq%3Drocky%2Bhorror%2Bpicture%2Bshow%2Bcharacters%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG%26biw%3D1020%26bih%3D459%26tbs%3Disch:1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=1311&ei=ALXhTPKOI4WEOtTX_JMP&oei=2bThTMC-DYHNjAfEuuHLAQ&esq=7&page=27&ndsp=10&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:251&tx=63&ty=73" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this
If you hear any screaming, don't worry, that just means its working.
Rope burns to all

Yay am delighted to see fab news! Congrats gaga! Love to see a win and wishing you everything good for the months ahead :)

On a more annoying note what the fcuk is going on with my shag dictator? Has shown six highs now with no peak. Is only so much shagging I can do! Night off tonight but if no peak tomorrow will be quite miffed.
