The Rat Smacketeers will all get BFP's this month and we are Brooking No Argument!

[TheLittleFriend]

See a Rat. Smack it.

Morning all

bean I'll pretend I didn't see you so you can continue lurking in the corner

whims sorry the dinner party didn't go as well as you hoped, next time you can have a rat smackers dinner party and invite all of us - we're not easily offended, w'd love to taste your cooking, and I also have a DP who can be a complete idiot when he's had to much to drink. We could just lock all the men in another room with some beer, whilst we had interesting and stimulating conversations (or just sat typing messages to each other on our phones because we didn't know how to speak to each other face to face)

imps I'm very impressed at you cycling 5 miles to get home, I hope there's no hills between you and the station

maybe I also reckon your plants will be ok for a little while without water, there should still be some moisture in soil. We've dome some more planting and some of the stuff I planted last weekend (inside) is starting to come up. We even had a BBQ yesterday and it was warm enough to eat outside in our shorts and t-shirts - we've certainly not managed that in March for the last 2 years

Hope both those nans enjoyed their birthdays and parties (and they didn't drink too much sherry)

Yesterday I was convinced I was pregnant - really high temp, and a smudge of brown CM, so I did a test this morning and got a BFN, and my temp had dropped a bit too , but I'm only 10 dpo and not expecting AF ever until Thursday so there's still hope

Ah, now Beedle this all sounds remarkable exciting!! If implantation was yesterday, it will take a good couple of days for the HCG to build to pee stick levels!!! Test tomorrow test tomorrow test tomorrow test tomorrow!!!

Bean, I hope things are going well with your non-TTC. You are still going to go for the HSG next Monday aren't you???

Another lovely day here for us. Love this weather! Oh, and my turnips have started to sprout (not, that's not a euphemism) :)

remarkably exciting. Or remarkable and exciting. But not remarkable exciting.

Morning all

Whims sorry to hear the dinner party didn't go to plan. Hope things can be resolved with your friend. My DH is another to be added to the list of a nightmare when drunk!

Imps very brave of you to be cycling home late at night in the dark and after half a bottle of rose disguised as soft drink

Maybe you would have made a killing at the farmers market, loads of cake stalls, not a patch on yours either. We bought a choc chip scone £1.25 was nice though.

There has been tears this morning here, temps have dropped through the floor and started spotting, only 11DPO! Very early as usually have 13 LP. So expecting AF anytime today or tomorrow. Am gutted as I really though it would be our month, with relaxed holiday and well timed SWI.

Morning all, sorry to hear about the temp drop Sweetie but could it be an implantation dip?

Imps sounds like it went much better than expected last night!

My DH just falls asleep when he's drunk

Hand up who'd rather be spending the day in the sun rather than at work?!

Morning ladies!

Sorry to hear about the spotting for Sweetie, Little, Beedle and Whims I am hoping that it's just implantation rather than the evil witch on her way! There seems to be some definite cycle synchronisation going on with so many of you at the same point in your cycle!

Whims Sorry about your crap weekend, as the others have said though I'm sure your friend must have been being a little over sensitive and will get over it quickly I'm sure.

I'm so impressed with all the veg growing that is being done by the smackateers! We got out strawberry plants out of the barn a few days ago and we are planning to grow tomatoes again this summer but other than that our fruit/veg comes from Tesco! My Dad has just got an allotment though so we should get some freebies from him hopefully! DH and DS did build a compost heap whilst I was at work yesterday so at least we can recycle some of our grass cuttings/veg peelings etc! Had a lovely time at the wedding on Saturday but my willpower failed and I did partake in a couple of Pimm's However I have been reliably assured that Pimm's isn't really alcoholic and in fact does contribute to your 5 a day

Sunshine again - enjoy your Monday

x-posts Maybe Occasionally there are advantages to shift work - today is a day off so I can enjoy the sunshine - yay! My DH also falls asleep when drunk usually becomes very amorous too

Hurrah, I am back on a proper computer, not an uber-slow phone!

When is maybe due to POAS? :o

Gah whims, so sorry it didn't go to plan - I'm sure she'll come round and laugh about your foot-in-mouth moment soon (we all have them, after all). And I bet your food made up for it! :d

Scan tomorrow! I barely slept last night, I'm that nervous/excited

Pop I am so excited for you. That has come around so quick. What time are you going?

Olives Pimms one of your 5 a day but yes I am sure it is

Maybe I think it is a bit late in my cycle for imp dip but it has gone way lower than it normally does pre-AF. I would say keep your fx but don't think there is any point, she is circling the evil witch. How you feeling today?

I haven't gone into work due to tears and will be taking a few hours off this aft to make up for working Sat night.

Morning all. I'm feeling a bit better today, after a better night's sleep. My toddler was up screaming, but Mr Whim totally redeemed himself by getting up with him.

It's my birthday today, and he got me some lovely things. And, true to form, my big boys ran in at 6am (exactly the same as Mother's day) to give me cards and wake me up. No one in my office has remembered, so I'll have to eat the birthday cake I've made without them. All the more for us! Blood orange drizzle. Yum.

V impressed with your cycling imps. You must have buns of steel. And loving the Pimms as 5 a day olives. So true.

I'm hiding behind a barricade of papers I'm meant to be reading so AF can't get me. You're all welcome, esp sweetie, little and beedle. I really thought we'd nailed it this month, after I realised I ovulated on day 19/20 not 13/14.

Any more news from you maybe?

Exciting about your scan pop and has anyone seen far?

Happy Birthday Whim!!! Well done MrWhim for getting you some nice bits, thoroughly deserved And good for you eating that cake, boo to your colleagues. Though mine would be the same. I shall share your cake with you

Oh Sweetie I am keeping everything crossed for you still

Glad you can enjoy the sunshine Olives We need to get a compost bin ASAP. Pimms is definitely good for you. It's a well known fact

Pop what time is the scan tomorrow? I cannot believe how fast it has come around!

No news from me. Other than I am starving. Temp still high. No sore boobs at all, and a bit tired. And I have terrible, terrible shoulder pain. Don't worry though, I have had this for months, it has just gotten to a point now that I cry if I move a certain way, and it is keeping me awake at night. I will mention this to the GP tomorrow though, though the last time I asked them, they fobbed me off

Who are we waiting for to test?

We really need some spring time BFPs

"Who are we waiting to test?" asks Maybe. Tsk. Who indeed? YOU, YOU DOUGHNUT!!!

Oh, and:

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy biiiiiiiiirthday dear Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiims
Happy birthday to you!

We Smacketeers all clubbed together and bought you a present - hope you like it.

Carats. Another one of our 5 a day. Thanks imps. I might put in on my amazon wish list for Christmas.

Well done Imps, good choice on the present front there

And I meant other than me.....

Happy Birthday whims have a and some

[wonders if everyone can forget what I said about my brithday being near Christmas and I can get a present from tiffany ]

Just had to share this: I'm looking for a new sewing machine, and this is on the Argos Q&A about one model:

Q. what can it do

A. Hi,
Thanks for your question.
As this item is a sewing machine, I can confirm it is capable of sewing.
Thank you for using Argos Q&A

I love it when a sense of humour shines through what must be a pretty dull day answering peoples stupid questions...

happy Birthday whims

Excellent choice of present imps

sweetie I'm still hoping that AF doesn't find you, I'll go out and find a big stick so that I can ward her off

I maybe tempted to test again tomorrow, as I'm then going to be away until Thurs evening and it feels wrong to test and not be able to show DP straight away (cos it will be positive ) but if I don't take any tests away with me the suspense might kill me. And besides, imps told me too

Beedle those are all very valid reasons of why you should be testing tomorrow I like your style.

Scarlett that is fantastic I really want a sewing machine, but DH says I can't have one till we get a bigger house

and maybe if I test tomorrow, you'll have to too

Happy Birthday Whims

Thanks Beedle for the threat of AF violence. I would test tomorrow joining maybe in confirming both your diffedness

Scarlett at the Argos comments

Maybe how big can your new sewing machine actually be if it requires moving to a bigger how . I say sell some of DH's stuff to fit it in. Simples.

Very exciting about Maybe and Beedle's BFPs tomorrow! Twill be a great day, I can feel it in my bones.

Egg should be popping today or tomorrow - we SWId on Thursday, Saturday and have pencilled a shag in for tonight and Wednesday night too. Hopefully all bases shall be covered.

"how"??? Jesus Christ, I meant "house" .

I like your thinking Imps We only have a flat, so there isn't really anywhere to store it. Though DH's crap stuff is under the bed, in the wardrobes, on top of the wardrobes, in the stirage cupboard.......

I don't have a feeling in my bones. I'm a bit nervous....
