The rats are all going to be jolly well smacked, we are going to have lots of festive BFPs and possibly a mince pie (or three)

[Munkiii]

Welcome to all!

Grab a glittery tinsel wrapped ramekin, grab some mulled wine and join our very lucky thread.

I am going to try and hold out Cupcakes leaves less room for a BFN

How bloody exciting you are going away! I am very jealous. Do you have an inkling of where it might be? When's your birthday?

Oh little I'm so pleased for you! Congratulations! Is the cat pleased? :o

Oh Have - you poor thing- it must be so upsetting - and stuff like the clothes etc that you just don't think of. Are your insurance co being helpful?

As maybe says, a girl should never be without knickers knockers . There was a definite theory though about attending a wedding commando being a sure fire way to get pg?

Hope you got everything you needed at Tesco - have you been allowed back in to the house to get stuff you needed? I'm just so glad you're both ok and thank goodness for smoke alarms!

Maybe - you do realise next weekend is a flipping week away don't you? So cd 32 now - when would AF normally show her unwelcome face?

Gosh I've been writing this post for so long in between phone calls that I can't remember the other post I wanted to respond to.

Hold on...

Oh yes, cupcake how exciting! Hope you have a fab time!

popcorn - how about gingerbread? A spot of cinnamon (I think it is) makes them extra Christmassy [fhappy]

Not been in for ages, hello everyone!!!!

have, horrible news about the fire.... But it is true, going commando will get you instantly updiffed, twas a friend of a friend of mine who went commando to a wedding (for VPL in any kind of underwear with her posh dress reasons) and got pg, apparently from outdoor nookie on the golfcourse!!!! Really hope it all gets sorted out asap for you, and the insurance company are very lovely and helpful about it all.

Just popped in as it's all happening here! Can't keep up though normally, but delighted little has made it over, and just waiting for the rest of you!!!

Come on ladies, keep up the festive rat-smacking (have, just do a bit of quiet festive rat-smacking at your dads, my friend's first baby was concieved in her husband's brother's bed when they were visiting him in Newcastle- she tells him often to make him feel awkward!)

Popcorn how about this one?

Biscuits I had been having 35 day cycles, but they have gotten a bit shorter, so who knows?!

The funniest word I ever heard for nickers (or boxers etc) was "undercrackers" :o

p.s. have and everyone else, the fire brigade did a home check for me recently- dd liked it, and most importantly all is fine Chez Dream, except they said the kitchen is the room most likely for a fire to start, and we keep our front door (and all our) keys in the kitchen drawer- so we had to get one cut to hide in the porch in case we couldn't access the kitchen in a fire. They will do one for anyone, plus fit 10 year battery smoke alarms free (ours were fine so they didn't, but said if there's a problem, call again and we'll come and fit ours). Oh, and they also said shut all downstairs interior doors overnight as it will help contain a fire i keep forgetting to do that

Ooo thanks maybe that looks perfect. Maybe I'll do a trial run next weekend, just to make sure they work ok before I make them last minute before Christmas :)

And by far I of course mean dream.

Sorry this is only a very quick one from me but just had to say Congratulations Little this is such lovely news, so very happy for you :)

I'm feeling very optimistic for you Maybe

And so sorry to hear about your home Have but so very glad to hear you and DH are not hurt x

Hi everyone. Have I'm so sorry to hear about your house fire Have, but as others have said, at least you and your DH are unharmed.

Little YAY! We ruddy knew it! Congratulations

Hiya

Have read back best I could, just wanted to say congratulations Little what wonderful news!

Have I am so sorry about your situation, I hope you and DH are not too shaken.

Ov has occurred here, just crossing everything now. Not hopeful though.

Brooking for Maybe and indeed all of you lovely lot! TTC around this time of year is very hard, I know xx

Have . My god, I'm so sorry to hear about the fire. What an awful thing to have happened. You poor poor thing - here's brooking NO argument that your insurance company are swift in helping you out and that your new kitchen is even better than the one you've lost.

Hope everyone's okay! I've felt like crap all day - two words for you - vodka cocktails.

Honestly? I want the exact same kitchen!
Ooh vodka cocktails. Not done that in a while.....

Munk how are you? Glad to hear that ov has occurred Hurrah for the golden egg.

Thanks for your optimism Solars wish I had some too

Sorry about the hangover Imps hope you are feeling a little better now.

Scrambled fun hen do?!

Wow I've missed loads. Just a short message before i leave for work

Little congratulations I'm so pleased for you

have sorry about the fire, but glad that you and mr have are OK.

maybe PIACR

Yes maybe get on with it
So it seems there's nowt like facing your own mortality to encourage rat smacking and I'm around my fertile time. Excellent please note my Dad had gone out to see his lady friend

Errr, errrrrmmmmm, I may just have got a BFP . There is a very very very very faint mark on an internet cheapy . Argggg why did I test so early (10 DPO)??

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE

Imps my lovely!!! How exciting! And kinda daring of you to test at 10dpo! (Take note Maybe)

I trust you'll be entertaining us daily with the darkening of that line on subsequent tests?

How exciting!!

eek imps congratulations

Go out and buy something more sensitive and reliable - don't ask me what though! Maybe a first response??

Oh and no more backflips - you need to act like a sensible pregnant lady now

Imps eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

This is the best news to wake up to ever. Fact. Oh I am so pleased for you!

Errrrr waaaaaaaaaaaay too early for excitement (particularly when we should all be sending it Maybe's way .

I really don't trust my eyes - I've been able to see something one minute and then nothing the next. TBH, if I looked hard enough I'm sure I could make myself see an outline of a hippo on that damned stick.

Imps! How exciting! Seconding Beedle - what did you use? Could you get hold of something more sensitive?!

You've brightened my miserable Monday morning journey to work no end!

Aren't Internet cheapies usually quite sensitive? I think Imps should maybe wait a couple of days to test again.

10dpo is very early to test.....

If you can convince an IC at say 12 or 14 dpo then I'd crack open a FR?

Of course if they're ICs there's no harm in doing one every day?
