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.

kittyKat I have no idea how those shag dictator things work. I'm sure that if you've been shagging for the past 6 days, you're in with a good chance, even if it does peak today Grin

I had a dildocam yesterday which I'd totally forgotten about until my dh turned up early from work to let me go. I'd been a bit confused with all the mc stuff and wanted to get things looked at good and proper (and how better than hands&dildocam shoved up your fanjo?). Seems everything is fine so that's good.
Still don't think I've ovd...

What dpo are you Bitey? If around 14, don't drink anything and don't wee for 4 hours and then do. Or wait for morning.

Am going to test again tomorrow morning just to make sure Smile

Ivegotmrbitey · 16/11/2010 09:10

ladygonePOASeverydayforninemonths Fertility friend informs me that today is fifteen DPO and that the droid should be raising his rusty head today. No sign of the fucker yet but sore buzwams much improved which is usally a give away. How long do the sticks work when you are diffed? I have a vision of peeing on them while in the delivery suite and shouting to anyone that will listen that I am STILL pregnant!
Also just read your post that you are off to do a presentation on the Hendricks brand in that there London. Please to steal bring any free samples to the barge!

LadyGoneGaga · 16/11/2010 09:47

Tomorrow not today! They are very sweet and send us a mahoosive hamper of booze at Christmas. Although won't be able to partake this year (see, thinking positively!).

Sticks work til quite a while after you deliver! I shall calm down when I get to feel movement as then will feel reassured. Until then I have about 30 pee sticks and intend to use them Grin

So when you gonna test?

Ivegotmrbitey · 16/11/2010 10:12

Iam very Envy of your job. So much more glamorous than mine! I have to go to Cardiff tomorrow and do a presentation on residential care. If anyone ever sends me freebies all I get is a stupid memory stick!
Crossed my legs for three hours before having to wee and didn't get a winner. I am still hopeful though emoticon.

I have to admit to planning my NYE around diffment and had rosy plans of spending the night on the sofa with the kitten watching lovely films and going to bed at half ten! Bloody hate NYE and was hoping for a cast iron excuse this year! On the other hand a non-diffed Christmas tucking into your hamper doesn't sound too bad!

Test was a two pack and there is a bumper bag of internet cheapos winging their way over so may give it a couple of days and try again if droid still absent.

LadyGoneGaga · 16/11/2010 10:24

Ah, hopefully droid will stay away and the hormones just taking a while to build up. You have one more go before Xmas anyway x

AlpinePony · 16/11/2010 11:32

mrbitey When working for a mobile phone company we were given VHS entitled "The Making Of Manchester United FC". Hmm to the Hmm. The bins floweth over! Grin

Jailbait and I agreed last night that we weren't going to spend loads of cash on piss-sticks this time. Er, OK darling, of course. haha. The deluded fool.

bitey just wee on a stick eh? You're late - ergo your wee shold be good and strong and there's some who say SMU is stronger than FMU!

Ivegotmrbitey · 16/11/2010 11:49

skipony I have and didn't get a winner, but I can be philosophical about it because I have just had the the best news ever! Neighbours from the flaming pits of hell did a flit at the weekend! Six years of stress from banging techno music, barking dog, screaming children, handbrake turns and boy racer exhausts at 4am, DIY projetcs done at night, vandalism of vehicle and garden from semi-detatched house neighbours has just ended in an instant! I can actually feel my womble unfurling and being willing to welcome a baybee into the new quiet world!

.....aaaaaaaaaaand breathe Grin

AlpinePony · 16/11/2010 11:54

hahaha wtf? Why have they done a bunk? Excellent news obv. I too have had excellent karma/neighbour/evil landlady from hell news today. :) We've had severe flooding this weekend, the river has burst its banks and she's been flooded. Grin But very rude about a "non-winner". Fucking lying bastard sticks. Get thee a biro!

Ivegotmrbitey · 16/11/2010 12:27

Love it when karma kicks horrible people up the backside!

Aparently neighbours had bought another house which they were doing up and the work was finnished at the weekend. They moved in the dead of night possibley because entire street has been very vocal about how awful they are. Nice neighbour came round suggested I put the bunting out and we'll have a street party!

I hope that this change in home environemnt and resultant lowering blood pressure will bring me a win Smile

Truffkin · 16/11/2010 14:45

Great news about absconding neighbours Bitey that should help you to 'just relax' fo sho

HorseyNanna loving your half hearted agreement not to re-mortgage your house to buy pee sticks. I am just glad that TGB hasn't seen the stash in my underwear draw Blush

I have news of a fabulous work freebie today, I'm going to a private staff showing of the new Harry Potter film on Monday night. TGB is most excited (and pleased to not share the cinema with anyone who talks on their phone / throws popcorn / fidgets a lot etc) as he is a fussy cinema goer.

InTheSunshine · 16/11/2010 19:24

Romamomma am glad dildocam was ok - respect to you for forgetting about it too Smile

Bitey did you see Coppers last night on C4 v- your neighbours sound like the people on there!

Truff am v Envy at your freebie.

FF is still saying I've not laid an egg despite dip and rise. Grrrr.

I book hotels for a living so get pretty good freebies - most of which we then have to hand in to our HR dept to be 'shared' out again at Xmas Biscuit

Ivegotmrbitey · 16/11/2010 19:50

I am seeing a fab besh Xmas coming up with ladygottahamper and bookahotelinthesunhine's freebies! < kicks manU vid and memory stick under statue of Osiris>

starnosemole · 16/11/2010 20:56

I am a teacher- I see your Harry Potter freebie, and raise you some coloured paper and a box of staples. Sorry for no win no fee bitey, not totally over yet though

Why does Kirstie Allsopp think £175 is cheap? She's really annoyed me tonight, and usually I luff her.

InTheSunshine · 16/11/2010 21:37

Moley I had to turn her off earlier she was breaking me!

AlpinePony · 17/11/2010 08:47

I am very Envy about the hotels... I've also had flash sticks, pens, notepads etc. Two weeks ago they were giving away t-shirts & monitors. Who the heck uses monitors these days? We left ours outside the garage for a week to allow it to "disappear" rather than dragging it down the tip! Wink

Anyone WOOFLing like mad? Anyone test this morning? I'm OV'ing today or yesterday - have had lots of the sechs - but will have more tonight just for luck - who knows? Perhaps even a little pleasure!

Right - a word of warning to you all. Pls to not leave man in charge of buying nappies else you will find yourself at bedtime with only TWO nappies. Angry Have just had to drag us down the shops to buy more. Accidentally bought cherry liquers when I was there. [hic]

AlpinePony · 17/11/2010 08:48

Btw - we viewed a house last night which we very much liked - think we're going to put a cheeky offer in later this week. Let them sweat a little more first. Grin

PrincessBoo · 17/11/2010 10:47

Affirmative to WOOFLing - I have been weeping at suspect things, but it is documented that I am a sap, so it could just be normal.

One was his morning when I was reading the words to the carol 'In the bleak midwinter' - an article in the leaflet about our Christmas Fayre. Actually that really is a bit mental isn't it? If I am not diffed maybe I need to HTFU in general. :o

PrincessBoo · 17/11/2010 10:47

*this morning. doh.

PrincessBoo · 17/11/2010 10:59

. She sent me a lovely message. Hope she found some nice people to talk to.

Ivegotmrbitey · 17/11/2010 16:38

I have just got back from a conference. My freebie which I am willing to donate to the BESH swap shop was an ice scraper with tena lady written on it Sad

truffkin can I come and see HP with you? FDH told me to eff off when I suggested it to him! I've been revising for it and everything!

ski you know what they say about a new house don't you? New baybee!

boo I am crying all the time too. Still no sign of the droid despite excssive cigarring today. (cf scorpette)

This morning I got up, feeling super tired, had a shower, washed my hair, got dressed and went to hunt for the kitten. He was looking as surprised as a cat can look and I laughed at him until I realised it was ten to four and I was up three and a half hours too early. Blush Is disorientation in time and place a symptom? Would spend an hour menkulling at Dr Google but got to go for a snooze instead!

Ivegotmrbitey · 17/11/2010 16:38

PS Where is the droid? Where? Where? Head fucker!

PrincessBoo · 17/11/2010 17:28

Bitey I am Envy of your ice scraper. I would be doubly proud of an incontinent one. :o

milanomum · 17/11/2010 17:38

biteme that has to be the best freebie evah. I want one.
I get diaries at the beginning of the academic year and I can steal get my hands on some pencils and maybe, just maybe, a hole-puncher. Don't all grab at once.

Boo crying at carols, eh?

I would never make the mistake of getting up that early Bitesthebigone. I don't understand how you managed it (unless it's because you are updiffed or perhaps it's all to to with the disappearing droid and generally a whole time-space glitch in the universe)

I am very very jealous of any house-buying. I would love to move/buy a house but need lottery windfall or hefty BESH donation.
Anyone?
