AuntieDoris · 02/11/2011 22:17

Aw Frozen Planet is just gorgeous!!!!

AuntieDoris · 02/11/2011 22:41

Oooo I am all excited as we have just booked tickets for Sark Folk Festival next year :)

MadameBoo · 02/11/2011 23:55

(My headache is better).

I like a bit of Folk AD. What is SARK?

Faith I hope that this isn;t all messing with your head too much. Droids should be droids and not pretend to be anything else. Grrr.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 03/11/2011 06:17

Has totally messed with my head. Referred to myself as crazy laydee last night. Test this morning bfn. Time to stop testing and accept that it was unusual Droid/cycle, possibly anovulatory along with evaporation line. Moving on to cycle 23....

InTheSunshine · 03/11/2011 07:00

Faith I empathise with you. It's happened to me a couple of times & it just messes with your head.

AlpinePony · 03/11/2011 07:08

Oh faith, that's proper shit. :( I bet if that had happened 5 years ago you wouldn't have wasted more than 2 minutes worrying about it. Big hugs to you lady. Xxx

Oh Faith I am sorry.

Boo - Sark is a wee little island just off the coast of Guernsey. It is very. very beautiful... link here

In other news. I lost 3 1/2lbs this week. Fuck knows how though!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 03/11/2011 08:07

pone you're right. I've been very regular. Would have shrugged shoulders and moved on.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 03/11/2011 08:08

Well done dor!

LauraPalmer · 03/11/2011 08:52

Oh darling Faith you most definitely deserve some pampering. It will help you de-crazy from this rollercoaster week. Am sorry it's been confusing and stressful. Stoopid body tricks.

Well done on the weightless results Dory and Boo! Sark sounds really good - I like to get folked up, too.

2WreckedWeeks question - am I a completely selfish hag for having had two (very) large glasses of amazing wine with dinner last night? (I also ate squid ink ravioli stuffed with crab!) I'm taking folic acid and not shooting up heroin or anything. But I'm curious about your views - During the 2ww do you keep living as normal or do you abstain from all differed no-no's (ie. no alcohol, no shellfish, no cured meats, no prepacked salads, blah blah blah endless list...)?

ps. DP almost upchucked his meal when I started talking about mooncups during dessert. Oops!

I'm pretty sure I read that as the placenta takes about 4 weeks to form, the bean is self sufficent until this point and therefore unlikely to be pickled in gin absorb anything you eat/drink.

As long as you're not main-lining a bottle of gin with your dinner every night I'm sure it's fine Wink

eurochick · 03/11/2011 10:32

I've generally lowered my alcohol consumption since I started ttc (partly to try to keep my weight down too). I try not to have more than 2 smallish glasses of wine in any day, excepting weddings and the like, obviously. But I refuse to live as prepregnant during the 2ww. It just makes the droids arrival all the more disappointing.

Northey · 03/11/2011 12:35

starcuntmole sorry to hear you're also one tube down. But nice to know we make a pair between us.

faithbabes , I am commenting away merrily on your other thread, but you know my fingers are always crossed for you. Weekend pampering sounds a gorgeous and soothing way to relax and forget it for a while.

laura, I just carry on as normal, food and booze-wise. I vaguely think that until the embryo foetus cell thing forms the placenta (6-7weeks?) then it doesn't get affected by what you're eating anyway.

I also hate Facebook preg-nouncers. Especially the updaters of every kick and scan and bout of pre-labour diarrhoea. The only response is an almighty shout of "Oh fuck OFF" at the screen. And then some convulsive and snotty sobbing.

Northey · 03/11/2011 12:37

And congrats to doris on weightloss too!

blonderedhead · 03/11/2011 12:44

Crikey, I've been living like a saint for 2 weeks of every month for gawd knows how long. Delighted to hear this was completely unnecessary, although sadly the news comes just as I decide to give up booze/cake/fun in the hope that lb loss will win me a baybee...

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 03/11/2011 15:45

Have been battling a bad head all day. Snuck out of work 30 mins early. Ah, bed. Bliss.

Northey · 03/11/2011 15:54

Good for you. Am in bed as well, listening to the rain. Blissful.

CaveMum · 03/11/2011 16:45

Very jealous Faith, I'd love an early night snuggled up with the cat (DH works away during the week).

Hope you feel better though.

starcuntmole · 03/11/2011 17:01

See I always live better for the first two weeks, so that my egg will be healthy, pristine and find its way more easily and then hit the sauce once I've laid as there's nothing I can do then. Am having no booze month at the mo to dry out from october but like others, only for weight loss reasons, so ttc related, but not iyswim.

faith i hate it when the cunting robot fucks with you in that way-I always say I don't mind it when it shows up as long as it doesn't toy with me in an evil and frankly unforgivable fashion. Am trying to think of some Bethlehem related violence I can send its way, but only Herod killing the ickle jewish baybees springs to mind, which seems deeply inappropriate confused I could get a camel to sit on it? Please to have fabulous relaxation spa type day to feel you better.

Facecrack is great and I am glad it is in the world, but I wish there was a little box that flashed up before you post

'Caution: Do you think anyone will actually give a fuck about what you are about to put as your status? If only one or two people will, why not send them a personal message? People will think better of you if you don't tell them what you had for dinner, what minor illness your child has, or whether you are watching television or not. Also don't mention babies more than twice per pregnancy, as it offends. Thankyou.' 'And it's their not there,you're not your, and lose not loose'

Disclaimer: In the writing of this post I have spelt its (possessive) twice with an apostrophe and had to correct it. I shall take myself off to the grammar police and accept my punishment willingly gracefully.

coconut kudos on the 'chuffed'- you'll be a native before you know it.

katthedog am so amused at you testing to see if orange juice was diffed. think I might try it later with a cup of tea.
