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.

No worries Boo I did moot the idea of testing as now 13 DPO so should be time enough to give a result. I said I'd rather droid than BFN but it doesn't make it any easier. Willing it here quickly so can start to snap out of this malaise and HTFU now. Usually only 3-4 days of droid so could be done by Saturday if it gets a move on.

Wishing you peaceful sleep tonight!

sunshine/ginfox Jailbait is Glasgwegian and I'm ashamed to say I've yet to visit his home town - going through on the Inverness bus to London doesn't count I think! Will definitely check out that curry place as we can't get a decent curry here for love nor money!

sunshine Your dentist trip sounds horrific - but probably just as well to get it all sorted out now before launching yourself in to pregnancy and your little bundle of joy sucking all your calcium away. Btw, re ice-cream - Chunky Monkey?

boo Poor little thing - how is he doing this morning?

I've had a rough night too - had a gym class at 9pm and as I was waiting to go in I felt the familiar rumble of "the shits". Lasted half an hour with the smelliest fart known to man blown in the direction of a poor new girl. :( Then had to bolt to the loo to empty myself. Wtf? Continued with the class and then came home and repeated. Either it's an early symptom in the form of a hormone surge as am completely fine again this morning although tired because Bear woke at half two for a feed.

truff How are you feeling this morning?

Morning Haglettes, GP was very nice yesterday if a little non-plussed about the earliness of my arrival in his surgery and told me to ring in three weekes to be reffered to the midwife. It only occured to me on the way home that they probably don't do referrals any earlier in case the baybee doesn't stick so then I cried all night.

Thank you for me laugh this morning though skihorse with your trump gymnastics! There's nothing quite like leaping and stretching while trying to clench your bum cheeks together!

Have a seasonal sloe gin sunshine and an owl badge for being so brave at the dentist.

awww bitey sending hugs not surprised you were upset about that. I think they could have made you an appointment anyway. It would give you something nice to look forward to. In my case I went to GP at less than 5 weeks and they gave me a m/w appt for the following month. Presumably they can cope with the unfortunate possibility of cancellation but they don't have to spell it out for you.
Anyway, this is a lucky thread and I hope you are feeling much more positive now after a good cry. The odds are always heavily in your favour, even if you've been unlucky once or twice before.

AlpineFresh you've made me smile with your talk of gym trumps. Whenever I go out runnning I invariably need to stop for a pooh!! Hilarious if you're in the middle of nowhere

Am going out for tea with MS now. I am thinking along the lines of Truff with stepping away from the TTC over Christmas & want to talk to him about it. As you may have gathered (as I shit on about it all the time) he is always at work at the moment so getting to have some of his undivided attention will be nice. Am feeling very pre droidal today hags. Grrrrr.

Bitey I am sending you BESH nipple twists and burns to keep you in good spirits and some extra stick

Oh more importantly have also just done above post at work

Talking of farts

There has been a distinct lack of drinking and erotoviolence on this thread of late. Who's for a spot of nekid wrestling (no farting allowed)?

I can help with the drinking I am currently imbibing a bottle of vino blanco (figure any possible imaginary embryo has three days till it implants..) but I am far too knackered for erotiviolence after doing the funsechs last night when it wasn't even bedtime

Why do my boobs hurt? Am unable to stop menkul despite only being 4dpo. Probably just need a new bra! Or need to stop prodding them ;)

A menkulling tip re the boobs. When I was pg the first symptom was sore boobs going over big speed humps. Never have that pre-droid.
Waits for lots of BESHes to get their car keys and find a local built up area to have a speed bump rally race.....

PrincessB that video is priceless!!

MiaowMiaow imbibing is a fucking great word. I fully plan to imbib ALL weekend.

Not out at dinner. MS still at work. Have had cheese & crackers for my tea and am watching Corrie on the V+.

that video is hilarious! Have been listening to radio for police reports of thirty something women sporting egyptian sun tans speeding past schools and the like holding their buzzwams and menkulling. Sadly nothing yet
have cheered up now thank puss after having chippy chips for my tea [easily pleased emoticons]

S'good innit. Sunny. I just showed it to MrBoo. He rolled about. It's right up his street.

Bitey yes the first visit can be a bit dissapointing can't it? It's all a bit:

'I won me a baybee'

'Well done. See you in 8 weeks'

'Oh'

OOOH a wrestling partner

I'm so pleased I might even let you win.

We are going to watch The Hole in a while, when MrB has finished blowing up some monsters. Apparently is good in a 'Goonies' way. Has anybody seen it?

Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...

Milanomomma what's up? Bad day or just feeling the need to stomp??

WHERE'S MY FUCKING DROID???
There is only one thing worse than TTCing and that's TTCing in the dark.

I'm hoping this is The Rage.

Dunno about 'hole' but anything which is 'like' the Goonies can only be good.

Any idea when droid was meant to show its ridiculous face?

When I saw the gyno (over a week ago) she said it looked like it'd happen 'sometime in the next 10 days' so I suppose that's sometime soon. I just want to get back to 'knowing' when to shag. Control freak? moi?

"slam dunking"? In wrestling? I meant that thing where they jump on top of the other person.

I have had to put laptop on because The Hole, which is a kids film, is. freaking. me. right. out. MrBoo is taking the piss and thinks I am a total wuss. He is correct.

and where is Moley?

I fecking hate clowns.

Oh how rude, the sound card on my lappy is refusing to play ball and the video isn't quite as funny in mute I fear.

boo I found the picture advertising The Hole very disturbing. Therefore I'm oot. I'm not a horror person, I sit there repeating the mantra "it's only a film, there's a make-up person and someone doing bacon sarnies" but I still end up "watching" the film with my eyes closed.

milano Is it at all possible that you've had a sly shag around OV time and didn't use contraception because you were pretending to be teenagers again?

Any news truffkins?

I've been thinking of a way to mix lesbo action, violence and ice-cream and I think I've a cunning ruse. I'll sneak up behind one of you, honk your baps and when you're in a state of shock I'll steal your B&J's - an act of such wickedness will of course incite violence.
