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)

Welcome to all!

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

Oh, Scrambled - I tried to call OH an ignorant gitwizard last night (just for fun, like) and it came out "ignorant gitweasel" which tbh I also rather like.

Whim the faculty forum sounds awesome - if you sold tickets to members of the public I'm sure it would be a sell-out!

possiblemaybebaby · 07/12/2011 10:20

Whim that sounds like my ideal way to spend a morning Maybe sneak some mulled wine in to make it a tad more enjoyable [bad scientist emoticon] Glad you are enjoying the shawl. I had to unpick my socks twice the other day as kept making silly mistakes

Loving gitweasel Imps

Glad your neck is feeling better pop

Can't remember what else everyone said. Back in a minute.

possiblemaybebaby · 07/12/2011 10:26

Oh, and Loooopy. I have never dropped one in the toilet. Though I have been known to drop those little keep fresh sachets they put in the IC in my wee It sounds like rice krispies when you do!

My Friend had her baby this morning she has had such a tough time TTC, and now the baby is here! I almost cried

PopcornMouse · 07/12/2011 11:04

Good luck at the GP tomorrow smegs :)

whimsy you're not a bad friend or mother! And I am just the same!!

Imps7 · 07/12/2011 11:20

Ow ow ow somehow I have aggravated my lower back pain and am walking around like a duck (sticking bottom out, leaning slightly forward as cannot stand up right. Do ducks walk like this? Possibly). Ooooh I hope it clears up for next week - I have a busy week of prep for the Christmas lunch we're having on Saturday - a bad back will not help at all.

It's always exciting when new babies arrive, particularly those of close friends as it means they'll be a big part of mine and OH's lives. However, I did get a little narked this morning with a friend on good ol' FB - she's pregnant with her second and we have been treated to daily winges about how awful pregnancy is - today's trauma is that she has outgrown some of her maternity wear (she really did put a sad face!). She's a lovely friend but does suffer a lot touch of I'm-the-only-person-to-have-ever-been-pregnantitis. Luckily her tot is due in early Jan so fingers crossed the moaning will be over soon!

possiblemaybebaby · 07/12/2011 11:28

Imps that made me chuckle!

Your poor back! What have you done? I think ducks do waddle walk like thism yes. I would suggest you get your OH to give you a back massage, but if he is anything like mine, he won't!

PopcornMouse · 07/12/2011 11:34

Imps my SIL was quite like that - she was lucky I luff her lots :o
(she also has sever pfb-itis and she knows it :o her DP has the patience of a saint!)

Stasi · 07/12/2011 11:34

Morning everyone. This is going to be a quick post as I've got lots of work to get done.

Maybe ooh, raised temperatures are a good sign, I feel more positive for you every day. Do you really intend on making us all wait till the weekend?

Smegs and Whim I hope the illnesses in the household clear up soon. DH and I have been lucky this year and neither has had a cold at all. I got my flu jab done yesterday also, so hope to be nice and healthy into the new year.

Imps I hope your back gets better soon. I've had a back-ache for about 3 weeks now. No idea what caused it, it started out aching just a bit, then got worse, and has now just stayed the same. I'm the opposite of you though, I'm ok standing up straight, but leaning over hurts. It's a weird pain, like a general ache rather than a particular muscle.

So, nothing much to report from me, I'm some number of days DPO, no real symptoms, though quite a lot of CM. However, we did manage to do DH's SA this morning! I had to drive the sample to the hospital, so put the pot in my tights above my waistband, then tucked my t-shirt in over it, jumper on and coat. Hopefully it stayed warm enough, it was very cold outside.

PopcornMouse · 07/12/2011 11:35

*severe. Doh!

PopcornMouse · 07/12/2011 11:36

Wow, that's dedication, stasi! :o

possiblemaybebaby · 07/12/2011 11:37

Stasi you are a prime example of an amazing wife. Can you imagine our DHs doing that for us? [frgin]

PopcornMouse · 07/12/2011 11:40

Goodness, maybe, DH couldn't organise his way out of a cardboard box without my help, never mind getting something time-sensitive to the hospital :o

PopcornMouse · 07/12/2011 11:41

(that possibly sounds a bit big-headed but is, in fact, entirely truthful :o )

possiblemaybebaby · 07/12/2011 11:56

Mine is exactly the same Pop I feel like his PA

farfallarocks · 07/12/2011 12:01

maybe stop changing the subject and pee on that damn stick ok??

possiblemaybebaby · 07/12/2011 12:03

I am not tempting fate, as normally when ones PIACR, AF rears her ugly head.

farfallarocks · 07/12/2011 12:08

Ok ok fair enough, what day are you on and when is/was AF due?

NinjaChipmunk · 07/12/2011 12:14

maybe I have just read you are full of wind, you do remember that was my very first sympton and I parped for weeks?

Stasi · 07/12/2011 12:22

My DH came to the hospital with me, then got embarrassed when I told the nurse we had a SA to drop off, and where did we need to be! I dropped him off at work afterwards, which only made me a little late... I'm very glad it's done though, so it was worth it. Next week I'll have to nag him to phone up and get the results, but that should be easier.

whimsicalname · 07/12/2011 12:28

Sometimes I wonder why we need to have children at all, when we have husbands to look after stasi!

I don't normally go in for 'he can't look after himself' type whinges about my husband, but I have spent the whole week trying to get him to go to the doctor about his cough (not being melodramatic, he did spent a month in intensive care 2 years ago, and hasn't had a cough since). I finally nagged him into submission this morning, he talked to a doc on the phone and has been sent home from work. For goodness sake. He's nearly 50. He negotiates international contracts with NATO (only about their paperclips, nothing exciting). I'm trying to think of another measure on which he is clearly a grown up. Grrr.

Rant over. Off to Faculty Forum.

possiblemaybebaby · 07/12/2011 12:35

CD 35 Far Due today ish. But haven't had any spotting or spots (face).

Ninja It's terrible. I sit here at work trying not to embarrass myself, then as soon as I get home I am literally blowing around the room like a balloon

I bet it is a relief that he has finally done it Stasi I am brroking no argument for your results next wee.

Whim have fun at your forum. Well, as much fun can be had at these things. My department's Christmas party is tonight. It is a quiz. Yes, a quiz. So my group is not going So we are going out for lunch and lots of drinking next week jopefully I won't be allowed to drink

farfallarocks · 07/12/2011 12:43

maybe I am ridiculously excited for you.

imps I hate the facebook nonsense and barely log on these days for that reason. I love babies and big bumps. I find people telling me they are preggers really tough though. Your poor back, have you tried lying on the floor with your knees up, always sorts me out. Have you heard about your job yet?

Another friend at work has told me she is preggers with her 2nd, her first one is only just one. I managed to be nice about it and told her not to worry (she was worried about telling me because she has just come back from mat leave and knows the shite we have been through). But I must admit, although I am happy for her I do smart at the unfairness of it all.
It was an accident on holiday. Jesus, use a johnny or don't but don't parp on about accidents!!!
Then I cryed in the loo at work, I am a sad case.

stasi excellent semen delivery from you, hopefully you did not spill any down your tights
