I seem to have started something with the campfire. Wish my Guides were as enthusiastic but they get fire is bad and touch a match and your arm will fall off drilled into them so much at home that it takes them a while to be comfortable around them. It is my big thing that I want every Guide to be able to be happy using matches before they leave as 99% of them come up from Brownies scared of them.

maybebabyR · 16/08/2011 18:38

Biscuits! How are you? Am I right in thinking you have a scan tomorrow? Will be thinking of you x

Grin at touch a match and your arm falls off Jen

Biscuitsandtea · 16/08/2011 18:42

Indeed scan is tomorrow - thanks. Am bricking it brooking no argument naturally :)

jenfraggle · 16/08/2011 18:50

They are 10 when they come to Guides and honestly some of them are so useless. They have been wrapped up in cotton wool and can't seem to do anything for themselves. It takes us a while to get them up to the standard that they used to be

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 19:10

Oh biscuits, you'll see baby-Biscuits wriggling about and the Brooking will become sooooo easy. Good luck, hope you enjoy it! You must pop by tomorrow and tell us all about it. And i am trying very hard brooking no argument about joining you in the vomitorium at the weekend. As will scarlet, with scream soon afterwards. And jaggy will rock up in 6 days time, so you won't be able to get a good seat for us graduates crowding the place Grin

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 19:11

oh, I meant scarlet will be in there on Thursday with you

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 19:16

Hello! Please may I join in? We have been ttc a little while now and my positivity is starting to waver so hopefully you can all set me back on the right track! Especially as my boss has just announced that she's pregnant and I'm being subjected to scan pictures, the lot! I feel the need for a positivity injection. I'm currently somewhere in the 2ww, not sure where as I'm having a month off from charting ( I did sneak in a quick temp check the other day though, just to check...ahem) so I can focus fully on brooking no argument!

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 19:18

Hello cake, welcome to the thread! Stoke the campfire, grab a marshmallow and prepare yourself for your BFP!!!

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 19:20

Hello! Ooh I haven't had toasted marshmallows for aaages, I should come here more often!

Imps7 · 16/08/2011 19:25

Is our camping trip do you think?

Hello Cake! Welcome! Hope you've got your no brooking pom poms with you!

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 19:29

Hi imps !

yes ma'am, glittery ones :o

jenfraggle · 16/08/2011 19:29

Welcome cake! Your BFP is just around the corner, being on this thread makes it so.

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 16/08/2011 19:36

Hello ladies, I brooked no argument on this thread a few months ago and formalised it with a bfp the same month, along with Our Founder, Aubers. Unfortunately my bean didn't stick (it obviously hadn't read the instructions, I will be firmer next time) and I had a mc at 10 weeks. ERPC was 2 weeks ago

I'm now in the WTF Cycle - not that that means I can't get myself updiffed again pretty darn smartish, have been smacking the rat regularly for the last 2 weeks despite not having a clue where I am in my cycle! Grin The flag is raised and DH is back on his Wellman vitamins, now all I have to do is lay an egg and JUST FERTILIZE!!!

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 19:40

Oh, late, what a shame your bean hadn't read the instructions! Still, now you're back its time again this month.

Happy Rat Smacking!!!

Imps7 · 16/08/2011 19:40

Hello Late - here, you can have my last toasted marshmallow if you like. So glad you're back on it!! (well, as glad as you can be given the circumstances. Hope you're okay.)

Lay that egg, smack that rat, just fertilise - simples! Your newly refreshed BFP will be with you before you can say "What do we want? Positive pee sticks!".

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 19:46

So sorry to hear your bean hadn't read the sticking instructions fully late but positivity and brooking no argument clearly worked last time for you so I'm sure you'll get your BFP right away

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 16/08/2011 19:49

Ah, it is good to be back in this atmosphere of positivity and unapologetic certainty Grin

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 20:04

ah ha late, I was trying that for not having AF between stopping bf and next pg, but I have decided to do it this month instead. I WILL be confirming my BFP at the weekend. You will be following ahortly. This is needed as biscuits has requested we chop bloody chop and get ourselves firmly installed in the vomitorium. The pom pom decision is important, don't rush it

what do we want? Positive pee sticks
when do we want them? NOW!!

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 20:06

NB. do you think now that my dd is 11 months old we (Me, DH, family and friends) ought to stop calling her The Bean, or X (insert her name)-Bean and start just calling her her name???? t'would be very, very difficult....

jaggythistle · 16/08/2011 20:26

hmm, not sure dream. mine's nearly too and i still regularly greet him with 'hi baby' Blush he also answers to monkey.

jaggythistle · 16/08/2011 20:32

nearly too? wtf?

baby brain getting worse by the day...

GenericDietCola · 16/08/2011 20:59

Stupid work getting in the way of MN - I've missed the campfire fun!

Welcome back Late and so sorry re mc - they are poo. No reason you can't start Brooking straightaway though and get right back to rat smacking - good for you.

Hello Cake

Biscuits nice to see you again and stop pinching all our goodies I am sure your scan will be marvellous tomorrow and I am Brooking No Argument.

Scarlet and *Dream I am so excited about your impending BFPs - eek!

Solars so glad HSG went well (well you know what I mean). This whole baby-making malarkey is just so goddamn romantic isn't it? However, now you've started your investigations, that guarantees your ironic BFP n'est pas?

My next gynae appointment in in October, so just in time for a BFP this month meaning I will be 8 weeks up ze duff by then - hurrah! We have had a Nice Tea tonight and it's not even ovulation time

Biscuitsandtea · 16/08/2011 21:05
Biscuitsandtea · 16/08/2011 21:06

That was supposed to say mini marshmallows on top for the Preggos - don't know where the other words went.....

GenericDietCola · 16/08/2011 21:11

Baby brain, Biscuits! Ta for goodies
