I am about to start cycle 5 and wondered if there were any fellow sex pests out there who wanted to join me in regular swi, not so regular poas and plenty of Wine, Biscuit, Brew and [chocolate emoticon].

Ah, thank you Boogies and weimy! the talk was pretty bad, but it doesn't really matter. I'm dead pleased about being short-listed for this job, but I find it hard to stop myself from fantasising about actually getting it. If I did get it, DP and I could buy a house; maternity leave would be assured; and life would be good. Ah well! I can't complain about the state of things at the moment: everything's pretty good already...:-)

trope · 05/04/2011 21:50

oh! so many posts! Our little bus is getting most busy! how fab! :o

boogie & weimy - aw, you're both too lovely!

Molly - sorry your talk didn't go well - I'm sure it won't have come across as badly as you think it did! But as the others say, wonderful news about the job - it sounds like it would really be absolutely perfect - will keep everything crossed for you to get it!

Was really lovely to come home to all these posts this evening - have spent the day dealing with builders etc and it has been quite un-fun. I think if another aging "geezer" type calls me love and patronises me I might actually explode! Still, home and on the sofa relaxing (aka reading mn!) now - aaaah... that's better.. :)

trope · 05/04/2011 21:53

ooh dreaming.. that's AMAZINGLY EXCITING!! Get the good sheets on the bed, the nice underwear washed, shave your legs and get ready to shag like bunnys!! (no? just me? ok then... )

DreamingOfABump · 05/04/2011 22:06

ah! note to self: must dig out honeymoon undercrackers....

BoogiesBunny · 05/04/2011 22:10

Welcome Emma and dreaming it's great to have you on board! What a month our DPs and DHs have in store!

I just asked mine not to, ummm, avoid w@nking next week and I got a very unconvincing promise! I think I put it a bit aggressively though - I just didn't think it would be so hard to give up for one week! I think I was wrong! Confused

Lamaze toy arrived and is unlikely to be useful as a sex toy - I'll try and do better next time!

DreamingOfABump · 05/04/2011 22:25

i suggest you tie his thumbs to his index fingers ;)

trope · 05/04/2011 22:28

or you could gaffer tape oven gloves onto his hands? (could make working tricky though...)

DreamingOfABump · 05/04/2011 22:31

haha like that episode on friends when pheobe had chickenpox lol but a bit more seedy lol

BoogiesBunny · 05/04/2011 22:32

LOL - great ideas ladies! (And well done for making sense of my garbled post!)

DreamingOfABump · 05/04/2011 22:35

"i think i put it a bit aggresively though" lol bet that was a priceless questionable ttc behaviour moment.

whitegold · 05/04/2011 22:41

Evening all! I haven't had chance to get on here for a few days, work has been absolutely manic and I've been falling asleep pretty much as soon as I've got home (late) every night! Looks like I have a few pages to catch up on though yay!

Not much to report here. Currently on CD16 but with me being so knackered from work we haven't managed ANY swi since last Friday Confused I think we need to get cracking again if we're going to be in with a chance this month... hopefully tomorrow!

This might sound a bit dim but what effect does wanking have on swi? Loving all your ideas on how to stop the DHs doing it though! Grin

trope · 05/04/2011 22:44

poor guys - they must not know whether they're coming or going right now! I told DP that he had to "refresh" his load before we SWI this week as I want wiggly fresh ones in there, not stale old ones!

Still - of all the problems to have "my missus won't let me w@nk as she wants to do something kinky with a lamaze toy tonight..." - there are worse problems to have eh! Wink

trope · 05/04/2011 22:47

whitegold as I understand it all (as i'm a first time TTCer so I could be horribly, awfully wrong) you don't want your OH w@nking it all away as it takes time for new sperm to gather and you want whatever he has in there going somewhere it can make a baby, not down the plughole/in his own bellybutton etc...

I, on the other hand, don't want my DPs wizened old wigglers as he's been poorly and we haven't been up to much these last few weeks, so he's been practically ordered to go fiddle with himself ready to SWI this week!

whitegold · 05/04/2011 23:10

haha thanks trope Grin In that case the OH and I will be having a little 'chat' tomorrow as I'll be needing all his wigglers for myself over the next few days - although as soon as this week is over he can have them back (until next month of course if we're not successful! Wink)

It still amazes me the amount of random swi info you find on mn!

Keep it coming ladies! Grin

DreamingOfABump · 05/04/2011 23:57

ROFLMAO @ "I told DP that he had to "refresh" his load before we SWI this week as I want wiggly fresh ones in there, not stale old ones!"
just read ot out to my DH as he wondered why i was laughing. his response was "you'll get what you're given" lol Grin

toddle · 06/04/2011 06:40

Well. Ive just got round to catching up on all the posts so hi to everyone who has come since ive been away. My gosh its getting busy here.

To some previous subjects Ill definatly be looking at the kiddies teething rings in a diifferent light when I get to work today :L

And for something different to stop the mr feeling like a sperm donor I recently went to a ann summers party and found a set of O-gels. I no they dont exactly 'help' all the fresh new wrigglers your mr's will have saved for you but it can all be licked of before they escape. You get candy floss, raspbery ripple, bubblegum, apple pie and toffee apple they all warm up too and if he doesnt like them im thinking they would go nice with a bowl of ice cream! Cant put a link up as im posting of my phone agaiin but im sure they would be easy enough to locate if you get on their website and do a search :)

OBeSomeOtherName · 06/04/2011 08:59

Well, you've all helped me wake up a bit this morning! Had a right laugh catching up on the posts! O-Gel and ice cream! Would love to see your local ice cream man's response to that one!! Grin

Ok, so no-one's as infantile as me then? Blush how about, What is calcium carbonate normally known as?
I'm afraid with me it's either science or children's cunture! Grin

Waiting for AF/BFP is torture!

BoogiesBunny · 06/04/2011 09:27

Hey obe i feel your pain - the last few days of the 2ww had me almost rocking in my chair by the last few days. This time I'll be in the Lake District though so will hopefully have more to distract me - I think that's the way forward for future months - but hopefully not too many months :-(

Your posts make me smile so much everyone! But I can't help with calcium carbonate - it's on the tip of my tongue but I gave up sciences at 16 and never looked back - except for Professor Brian Cox on Sunday evenings ;-)

MollyDefoe · 06/04/2011 09:51

Aaarrrgghhh! Having horrible morning so far. Our toilet is broken; our neighbours have trashed my bike; and DP is pissed off with me (for absolutely no good reason). Have stress headache, and just want the morning to start all over again :(

BoogiesBunny · 06/04/2011 10:15

Your neighbours trashed your bike?!

MollyDefoe · 06/04/2011 10:20

Yeah :( It's a long and boring story, but we live in a block of 4 flats, and every other flat has its own designated bike shed, but we don't, so we have to keep our bikes in the communal bin shed. Some new neighbours moved into the block about a month ago, and have taken offence at the fact we have no choice but to keep our bikes in the bin shed. So last night, they threw my bike across the yard, snapping the front brake cable, breaking the bell, and the front light bracket. It's all repair-able, but it'll cost me at least £30 to have it fixed, and it meant I was late for work this morning, and am now covered in bike grease. And I'm bly ped off! Angry
