No you can't do the fun stuff on the thread title. But it's an awesome title.

CaveMum · 02/11/2011 11:17

[round of applause] for LP

Hmmm, I guess early November is just about ok for an Xmas-themed fred. If you'd tried it in October, I would have had to hunt you down to kill you very slowly and painfully.

Faith that's so exciting.

As you're starting a new one, can I join in? I've been shagging fruitlessly FOREVER, have been on various threads under various names, have lurked on BESH occasionally and can even have a stab at answering the quiz without seeing the questions (wasn't gin just the answer to everything?).

Right you are, guv'nor.

I may be some time.

LauraPalmer · 02/11/2011 12:55

Sorry for the early xmassy theme, Euro, it just made me giggle and feel a teensy bit irreverent. I actually feel bold starting a new Fred when I'm such a newbie but I was feeling absolutely grumpy this morning and needed something to cheer me up.

Bugs the cramps are absolutely normal - and you are still updiffed, no matter how many sticks you pee on or how long the positives take to appear!

And now...drum roll for the symptom spotting...last night my nipples were extraordinarily sensitive and I was quite woosy morning after eating. I'm trying to encourage ignore it all.

And welcome Northerly...

Ahem..

  1. Do you like gin? (This is compulsory, you must say 'Yes')

Yesh. Hic. (it's winter, the sun never gets over the bloody yardarm in the first place)

  1. Men - are you a gold digger or a cradle snatching cougar?

He's both older and poorer than me. Husband jackpot FAIL on my part.

  1. Baybee-making - to put a baybee in your tumtum, which hole do you use: a) weewee b) poopoo c) foofoo d) none, you just pray to the baby Jebus.

c. Though if some nutter on a random website tells me that a combination of a, b and d was definitely what worked for her then my knickers will be off before I've even shaken hands with the priest. So to speak. .

  1. Testing - when someone wonders if they should test for updiff (pg), do you: a) bellow 'POAS!' at them non-stop and punch them repeatedly in the kidneys till they wet themselves anyway. b) Sprinkle them with babydust and send them hugs and kisses on lickle baby angel wings.

a

  1. Is R2D2: a) an adorable robot from Star Wars. b) the source of all evil.

Not a new wonder drug that will make me updiffed or anything? No? Better be b then.

  1. what colour are your walls?

White. And scuffed.

  1. Number of pets?

3 cats (do not. say. a word). Also some goldfish which might in fact have died. Though they are brown goldfish in a brownish pond, so quite hard to see even when alive.

  1. Inappropriate (read: weird) crush of shame?

Brian Cox. Geeky scientists do it for me every time. Runner up crush is Eugene from Big Brother 9 Blush

  1. Lesbian crush?

My doctor. I even have dreams about her.

  1. What are your views on camping?

Love the idea, and make my boyfriend strap all sorts of heavy tent stuff to his rucksack. Then when we get there decide it's a bit chilly and lead us both straight to the nearest plush hotel.

  1. How much money have you spent on sticks you then urinate on? i) Oh nothing, I'll probably catch first time and then get the doctor to confirm it. ii) Over 100 quid iii) I opened an account on ebay solely for the purpose of purchasing sticks

ii) The Waitrose cashiers are starting to look at me pityingly before I even unload my basket.

InTheSunshine · 02/11/2011 13:07

Nice Fred LP

Faith POAS POAS POAS......

Northey Hello. Pliz to tell us more about yourself? Brian Cox. Yes I can see where you're coming from. But I'd be worried about falling asleep when he was trying to explain the theory of relativity. And Waitrose hey? You pass the test IMO.

You ok Bugs? Was thinking about you this morning but couldn't post as was doing stuff.

Northey · 02/11/2011 13:27

More about me...

I'm 33 and a half and a bit. I've been trying to get knocked up for two years. My ovaries are utterly dysfunctional, but after a good drilling they got it together enough for me to conceive in August. Except in September it became clear that it was ec-bloody-topic. So after a swift op, and one tube and one proto-baby the lighter, I am getting back in the saddle.

Anything else you want to know? Most recent name before this one was patientgriselda, in case some of you knew me in that guise.

Laura, when I got pregnant before, it was the bizarrely sensitive nipples that made me suspicious. It was most noticeable when I bent them sideways. If that helps (and how could it not?).

MadameBoo · 02/11/2011 14:14

I fucking LOVE the new fred title LauraP. I am developing a bit of a crush on you.

I like the cut of your gib. Now sup some of this here gin and tell me about your doctor...

Am having some faith for Faith. Am on tenterhooks.

I lost half a pound today at weigh in. This was a miracle consdiering the amount I ate at the weekend for anniversary shens. Hooray!

CaveMum · 02/11/2011 15:16

Ooo, another newbie!

[strips off ready and joins queue to rub northey for luck]

AlpinePony · 02/11/2011 15:33

Great Fred title Laura!

Bloody faith, dropping a bombshell like that then breaking the Fred! Id just insulted her and mn ate my post. Tsk.

Welcome northern. Not to worry about husband fail. I realise now I should've married one of those handsome gaziillionaires I was always previously turning down.

Northey · 02/11/2011 15:37

Blimey, I didn't know there was rubbing.

My doctor is fabulous, boo. I love her so much that I am only waiting till I am safely diffed before jettisoning the newly defunct spunk-provider and begging her to run away with me. Even though she is almost due to retire. But my love is above all that paltry agist crap.

Congratulations on weightloss. Have you much to go?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 02/11/2011 15:56

WOO HOOO northey's here Grin Me and her go way back. She was one of my first friends on MN. Remember when we were optimistic?! She passes imho.

CaveMum · 02/11/2011 16:02

[adopts tough love policy, puts hands on hips and stares at faith]

Now young lady, how much longer have we got to wait before you get home?! Some of us have nothing better to do lives y'know!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 02/11/2011 16:31

Ok I caved and bought mire tests, I reckon I'll disbelieve either result. I'm gonna have to do a live poas aren't I?

AlpinePony · 02/11/2011 16:37

Poas Poas Poas!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 02/11/2011 16:39

Can I wait til I get home?!

AlpinePony · 02/11/2011 16:40

Do it on the bus!

CaveMum · 02/11/2011 16:41

Was there ever any doubt?! Grin

When I finally get the opportunity to poas I think I'll opt for a digital one - none of these "is that a line" issues that way Wink.

You either need to poas in the next 30 mins or wait until 5.45 so that I've got home from work Wink

In all seriousness though, keeping all apendages crossed for you
