Morning all! Well, if this Clomid stuff has worked its magic I should be approaching my furtile period [eyes up HWHNN suggestively]. Guess that means I ought to shave me legs!

I am going into work late because my FUCKING CAT KEPT ME UP ALL NIGHT. I worked late last night so It's Allowed, stop looking at me like that.

Anyway, I am most pleased at the return of Drom and the image of swiping the ipad in the Racehorse Position. I am also most pleased at the introduction of the term Racehorse Position. That's why I have capitalised it.

:o at Winona Ryder, White Goods forum, and the witches of BESHwick. Now I'm going to have my breakfast.

PS I love Downton Sunny but it's more like Eastenders than P&P. Requires suspension of disbelief to the max. Laters, bitches.

I know I don't post here any more really, cos I don't feel I have the right to anymore, but I would just like to say this - We are not a quiche, or at least I don't think so. We're 30 TTC, and more than that, we're for those who are in their 30s and struggling to conceive and who are BESH as a result. Or at least that was always the deal when I were a lass, etc.

When we tried letting in any 30s TTCers we ended up being the stop off for any instadiffer in their 30s with a fondness for gin who would rock up and diff 15 minutes later, leading to fucking heartbreak for those who had been trying forever. Ditto when we tried letting in youngerds (though we have a fondness for the olderds).

I don't believe that makes us a clique. Because we let in anyone who really is in their 30s and struggling. There is not a more welcome group of women on the face of the internet in that regard. I'd hate for people to look at the list of cliques and think "Oh, I'd love to join them but I can't cos they're a clique".

But those parameters - the over 30s AND struggling - WERE for a reason, and were agonised over Back In the Day more than once. And the reason was protection, of hearts that were already pretty much at the edge of what they could take.

So, yeah. Quiche my arse.

The references to the racehorse position has reminded me that once when I were a lass we went on holiday to Devon to stay on a farm. Out of the window of our room there were two horses. I was watching them and then one mounted the other and I said "look mum, one horse is giving the other a piggyback". [townie emoticon]

Casserole · 15/11/2011 11:15

Grin euro

I am also watching Dromdiddydrom's re-entry with interest. As it were.

AuntieDoris · 15/11/2011 12:26

Oh good. The genetic throwbacks have managed to conceive.

I am sulking. If they can manage it, with all her alleged fertility problems then why can't I?

Casserole · 15/11/2011 12:53

They'd been trying for 2 and a half months and were about to start IVF???

Stupid stupid fuckers.

CaveMum · 15/11/2011 12:54

I thought exactly the same thing Dor Angry

I was also Shock and Hmm to read that him and that Price woman (I'm not a fan, have you noticed?!) resorted to IVF after just 6 months of trying, despite there being no infertility issues. Oh to be rich and able to go Private eh?!

MadameBoo · 15/11/2011 13:23

My friend, who was a huge Dead Kennedys/Jello Biafra fan, had a T-shirt which said on it: Stupid People Shouldn't Breed. For some reason that just popped into my head...

Anyway Cass I am sulking upthread about my lack of snog when you did Rie and Pone. Please to appease me?

Ariesgirl · 15/11/2011 13:41

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!1! What do you mean "get off"?

I think "What is your position on racehorses" would make an admirable addition to the BESHtionnaire. It hasn't been amended for ages, and some of the questions baffle me, they are so ancient. E.g. what colour are your walls? Pliz explain?

After all this boobtalk, mine are veh sore and I have Teh Rage. Day 25 in the Aries household. Bah.

InTheSunshine · 15/11/2011 13:51

Very well said Cass.

Am veh busy networking standing on own looking busy

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 15/11/2011 14:12

I'm back at work today. I'm exhausted already. May sneak off early take some time owing.
I agree we are not a quiche, just like.minded people in a similar crappy situation.
I'm cd16, cue tingling boobs despite lack of sechs. Clever body doing tww symptoms when it's not really a tww Hmm
Re the throwbacks, I did read she didn't think she could get upduffed. But they've been together 2 minutes. Not fair our turn.

AlpinePony · 15/11/2011 14:17

haha Aries I think that's a magnificent suggestion. I think the walls thing was a nod at to how "naice" our lives were trotting along without children. You know, magnolia walls, 6 cats and a bottle of Bombay Sapphire type thing. You selfish slaaaaags.

Can I be allowed to giggle a little about the fact that Alex Reid has got her pregnant almost immediately and The Katie Price had slagged him off publicly for being a jaffa?

Casserole · 15/11/2011 14:39

Oh COME HERE THEN BOO YOU NEEDY LITTLE SAUCEPOT.

Riebie anklegrabbing right back atcha. I noticed this morning that my ankles are definitely slimmer than they were. Which is fucking USELESS. Who has EVER not left the house cos their bloody bastarding ANKLES looked fat???

AuntieDoris · 15/11/2011 14:42

The only happy thing about the Throwbacks in my mind is Katie Price's reaction. That makes me happy!

Ariesgirl · 15/11/2011 14:44

You are a Victorian wankers wet dream Cass, with those GAWJUS ankles Grin

ps I really really want that question added Grin

Casserole · 15/11/2011 14:51

Oh, you really think so? These scrawny ol' things?

Ariesgirl · 15/11/2011 14:54

Yes! Cover yourself up woman. Have you no shame?

PerfectDromedary · 15/11/2011 19:09

Do you think we could have the like function on MN? Would save me lots of time fawning all over the amusing discussions.

Re: assuming the racehorse. Yes, indeed, should be added to the Beshtionnaire. And no, I was not SFF while typing. Tho frankly, given the quality of bonkage in these parts at the moment, I might as well...
