Oh look. You made me go and work it out. I would be due on 16 December. Ha bloody ha ha!

I am at work and bored senseless today!

sinkingflameofhilarity · 20/03/2012 12:50

December baybees.

Yo ho ho.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 20/03/2012 12:57

Oh, and sorry for drawing you into my world of madness dor.

My posts should come with a sanity health warning.

FriendofDorothy · 20/03/2012 13:01

Nope it's ok. I would be sods law to get pregnant now. December and January seem to be the months of choice for family birthday - in about a 2 week period we have my birthday, as well as The Mister's, my Dad's and my father and mother in law. Nice.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/03/2012 13:05

I just assumed you had much longer cycles than me
I've reached new depths. I'm watching Grease 2. However, I started a Fred in chat about films that are truly awful and people are chipping in

OP posts:
sinkingflameofhilarity · 20/03/2012 13:09

It's weird isn't it? Families seem to group their birthdays. My mum is 1st march, dad is 1st April (fool!), and between have me, my bro, my auntie, 2 cousins and a nephew. And we're a small family (two children families for everyone from g-parents downward). Ooh and my brand new niece.

Fortunately we don't feel the need to buy presents for all!

Maybe I should be expecting a June success...

sinkingflameofhilarity · 20/03/2012 13:12

Faith, I'm watching Harry Potter again cos its on Sky. Need to go to the shops, but after having a bath I'm exhausted. Surely I can't be expected to wash and do the shopping on my day off?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/03/2012 13:20

Nope, on your day off you must relax. Washing is enough :) I'm aiming for a bath later. I might go to the shops to see how I cope....always feel guilty going out when I'm off sick but how do I know if I'll be well enough to fl back tomorrow if I don't do something today?!

Grease 2 is dreadful, faith. I am disappointed in you. But am not judging you, considering I somehow seem to know all the songs.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/03/2012 14:18

Like I say, truly awful. But I luff it. Check out my Fred in chat, I'm not the only one! I'm debating between going to the shops and going for a nap...

OP posts:
Northey · 20/03/2012 14:25

I'm trying not to stuff myself with crisps and sweets. I had a bad week last week on the food and exercise front. I must not let that become my standard mode.

Going out for a walk in a bit.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/03/2012 19:26

How was your walk Northey?
I've agreed to go back to work tomorrow even though I'm dreading it
Pant snot tmi question if the BESH have knowledge to impart: if I have thrush, will it make it harder to detect ewcm? The antibiotics have had that unfortunate effect. I'm so confused! I've having cramps - could be ovulation, infection or bowel! I thought I saw ewcm but also what looked sticky cm. Any ideas?

OP posts:
Northey · 20/03/2012 19:30

I didn't go. I fannied about in boxes trying to find my bakeware and then made a banana cake. Now I'm in bed reading recipe books and drinking tea. Blush

I find the thrush dries up everything, so I certainly wouldn't be able to detect ewcm during a bout of it. Though I would find sex a bit sore during thrush anyway.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/03/2012 19:53

We've crawled into bed too. Watching How I Met Your Mother. MSB still feeling rough.
Yes with all the discomfort/womble pains and thrush I really don't fancy the sechs..

Ahoy me hearties, I have returned from plundering in that there London.

I am supposed to be working on an assignment that is due to be handed in in 10 days time, but I truly cannot be arsed Blush. I shall work doubly hard tomorrow.

Instead I shall have a glass of Wine and some ice cream Grin

Northey · 20/03/2012 20:45

Sounds well-deserved, cavey. Have two glasses while you're at it.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/03/2012 21:23

cavey considering how rough you described feeling this morning, you definitely deserve those treats. No point flogging yourself on your assignment when you're shattered. Better to be fresher to it tomorrow!
Ah we're watching BFGW :) I'm a pineapple and she's a palm tree Addictive stuff!
Thanks for posting on my chat Fred still chuffed that it's going!

OP posts:
CaveMum · 20/03/2012 21:30

S'alright Faithy, I do love a bit of film chat!

I'm now on the sofa with my Wine in hand, cat curled up on my lap and watching Sherlock yet again. I do love me some Cumberbatch Grin

FriendofDorothy · 20/03/2012 22:17

Aw someone has offered me a 5 year old black cat that needs rehoming. The problem is that we are living with my parents and Mum has said no more cats. I am going for the hard sell but not sure she is going to shift. The cat is called Freddie and looks beeeooootiful!

jewelsandbinoculars · 20/03/2012 23:32

faithy your film fred is officially a discussion of the day!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 21/03/2012 06:55

Hello besh .

I am meeting 2girlsonecup on Saturday, how excited am I?

If anyone is around our way (Haw Haw) please join us!

Northey · 21/03/2012 07:01

Hello earlyrisingalpinrpony. Where be your way, then? And be there dragons?

AlpinePony · 21/03/2012 07:33

northey We be meeting East. Aaaar. Across the seas me hearties, south of the Rhine. I will be dragon slaying next month with any luck. Assuming I make it in to town today to get passport photos and the like done. We had a meet last year in that there 'ereford which I suppose would've been good for you. Aaaar.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 21/03/2012 07:34

Avast me hearties!

Wow faith that is impressive fred-making, I am not allowed to stray into that terrain. No I need to work. On that score, do call in sick if you are not well enough/go home if it is too much please!

The bad news is that you all need to report below decks - the poxy dishwasher gave in last night and all the grub still needs washing up before we can get onto today's dinner.

Waves at the elusive pony...

How many cats do you have (at your mum's?!) now, dot?

Love the choice of bananacake baking over walking norf! I was going for a very gentle and pathetic first run but then my iPod needed charging, so I couldn't. But I have left it charging overnight so no excuse today.
