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.

Oh dear, better do some googling on nicotine replacement therapy Blush

LadyGoneGaga · 20/11/2010 09:56

NRT evil. Prolongs the agony. Just go cold turkey. Spend the money on pee sticks instead. You'll soon be retching at the very smell of a smoker anyway.

When I had MiniG I couldn't stand being near his Dad as he started smelling funny. Insisted he got all his bedding service washed as it all stank (quilts, pillows etc). Turned out to be his previously inoffensive hair stuff that I couldn't bear when diffed.

You're due day before me Bitey. We can be Diff buddies!

AlpinePony · 20/11/2010 10:01

haha that's a proper "menkul" reason to cry. I cried because I felt sorry for a murderer on Taggart. Hmm bitey Your tales of FDH are making me laugh this morning - thank you. Honestly, the shite they come up with when they've been drinking !

I think you're allowed one last one for "luck" bitey. Wink Seriously though, Alan Carr hypnotherapy's yer man. In any good bookshop/amazon near you. I need to re-order a copy instead of promising to quit oooh, 7 days a week. Blush

Jailbait got home at half five this morning and told me that I'd made him so angry last night he'd been cross-eyed with rage. I have no fucking idea what I did, except say "I refuse to engage with you when you speak to me like this". Hmm Men. (I may have given him a "talk to the hand" gesture. Wink)

Right, I'm off in to town to get passport photos for Bear - am thinking a photographer is best bet - and I want skirt/jumper/coat for work which must be cheaper than 135 euros total else I'm putting in a Next order. I have a 350 quid coat on a hook in the hallway which will not do up and I cannot blame it on being diffed. :(

AlpinePony · 20/11/2010 10:03

Btw - we had 4 of us last year were due within a week of each other in the latter half of July. :) It was so nice to all be pregnant at the same time and swap stories.

rocketleaf · 20/11/2010 11:15

just to say massive congrates to bitey Very good news, what a lucky thread indeed!!!

Truffkin · 20/11/2010 11:45

Biteeeeeeeeeeeeee OMG BFP!!!!!112!!!!421!!!!73!!!

Very excited

Bah to FDH's rubbishness. TGB is off to a school reunion at 3pm with 40 blokes. I can't even begin to prepare for how messy he is going to be.

pliz to fuel my menkul GarGul

LadyGoneGaga · 20/11/2010 12:10

Truff that looks very promising and triphasic indeed so far. When are you gonna test?

Truffkin · 20/11/2010 13:14

Aww shucks, thanks for the fuel Grin

I want to wait another week ideally as have had quite varied cycle lengths and after 2 very different last 2 months I know I'd rather droid arrived than see BFN in advance. Am going to see what this week brings in terms of 'symptoms' before I decide.

Medee · 20/11/2010 13:28

Woohoo, Bitey! See, a line is a line!

LadyGoneGaga · 20/11/2010 13:45

The good thing, Truff is you now know your Luteal phase length (13 days) and that tends not to vary too much (perhaps a day or two). So you'll know when you really ARE late. Fingers crossed for you!

Ivegotmrbitey · 20/11/2010 14:41

FDH has redeemed himself and is making us scrambled eggs on toast. The blood remains a mystery but sadly we have solved the enigma of the flooding. That's right my husband has pissed over his alarm clock and in his sock drawer. Glad it wasn't mine! aries would be able to solve this mystery - she's quite the sleuth!

Hope the shopping trip goes well mylittleponyonice some of my coats aren't fitting due to gigantic buzzwams already and let's face it I can't be more than a couple of weeks!
Pliz to take a picture of the jail bait cross eyed with rage?

Yay! Diff buddies ladygonegotherselfadifftwin when is ginfox due?

kat2504 · 20/11/2010 15:54

Wow bitey congratulations that is fantastic news :) :) :) And I think it's perfectly acceptable to get all excited about it right away. I mean, you can't pretend it isn't happening for the next 8 weeks!!
3 wins on one thread - that's amazing. Reckon summer is a lovely time to have a baybee.

Love the idea of making xmas decs out of sticks. I have a large amount of cbfm sticks with a varied assortment of lines that i could use if I don't get lucky in the meantime.

SWI half successful, but hey, once is enough and it was on a peak day and we did do it on every second high day too. Let the menkulling begin!

milanomum · 20/11/2010 21:28

OGMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!Biteyandbaybee yipeeeeeeeeee!!!!! I'm so pleased for you! but don't go aaaawayyyy ...

Truffkin · 20/11/2010 22:46

Do you know what? I luffs you BESHes (yes I'm a bit pished but who cares?)

PrincessBoo · 21/11/2010 01:41

I am hammered ( been to a 4oth party with bLOOMING ROCKET) AM SO BLOODY HAPPY FOR YOU BIRTY THAT'S JUST BRILIANT! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ivegotmrbitey · 21/11/2010 08:06

Love the drunken BESH! I have weed on the second of the piss stick twin pack and am still diffed this morning, I have approx 19 sticks lurking around the house and am not afraid to use them!
bolognemam < hoping bologne is in Italy as bolognaise would imply> I am going nowhere, far too many BESH to eye suspiciously round here!

InTheSunshine · 21/11/2010 08:58

Bitey I hope FDR was suitably nice to you all day yesterday after pissing on his own sock collection?!

Truff & Boo hope your hangovers aren't too bad. I am Envy as I did not go out last night or even have a sniff of alcohol.

I am beginning the menkul....boobs are killing, temps are rising. But I don't think I did enuff of the sechs so am giving myself a stern talking to. Off to do some serious exercise now in the hope that it will stop the menkul.

Ivegotmrbitey · 21/11/2010 09:28

sunnyD I have just been checking fertility friend and we only SWId twice this month and one of them was quite early. Just saying is all

kitten every other day sounds like lots to me! Have an owl badge for luck!

truff did TGB pee in his sock drawer or was he more civilised than that?

FDH has recovered from his shock now, I have no idea why he was quite so taken aback as he knew what we were doing!

kat2504 · 21/11/2010 10:16

Bleurgh am very sick! Passing it off as the lurgy but suspect Friday nights overindulgence had a little to do with it. Am languishing in bed all day!

PrincessBoo · 21/11/2010 10:30

Ahem. Morning all. I have found the caps lock key. And my ability to spell.

I also found the droid and I did shed a little tear. 2 days early again :(

Medee · 21/11/2010 10:48

ah, that sucks, Boo. Hope your head isn't sore today to add insult to injury.

PrincessBoo · 21/11/2010 10:50

Thanks Medee. It's not bad - theboy is at his Nanny's so I'm enjoying a rare Sunday watching the crap I want to watch instead of Cbeebies!

Ivegotmrbitey · 21/11/2010 11:12

Sorry boo what a head fuck. Hope the hangover isn't too bad. Bacon sandwich?

PrincessBoo · 21/11/2010 11:16

I'm ok bitey - was only a few little tears not a whole big blart. Have been cheered up by the look on MrBoo's face when I told him we needed to do it at least 3 times next month and he thought I meant 3 times a night. Sheer panic. :o

Truffkin · 21/11/2010 11:29

morning BESHes. Lord that was a fun night.

Boo tis the droidal way to fuck with your mind, especially when hung over and therefore inclined to be more emotionally raw than usual. Am attempting a dance to cheer you up but boob jiggling whilst keeping head completely still is quite a challenge. Pliz to have a good laugh at the oddness of my efforts.

Kat sounds like you did good this month, am looking forward to some quality menkul from you.

BitesvilleArizona TGB was well behaved in terms of piss, but then we're staying at his friends house and I suspect pissing in someone elses sock drawer is a step too far even for the very twisted. Nice work on further addition to + piss stick collection. Maybe you can exhibit them to raise money for new baybee related items?

In simply excellent hangover news, the 'tat man' has driven past right under the window of the bedroom I am still languishing in, shouting 'old iron' down a megaphone and repeatedly sounding the tuneless brass-instrument-style horn on his loud-engined pick up. What an absolute delight.

Am now attempting to Get Up. This may well be something that turns out to be Not a Good Thing.
