Five and the Mystery of the Declining Fertility - the BESH engage the services of the Famous Five to track down their baybees and finish with lashings of ginger beer. Topping!

[ArielThePiraticalMermaid]

Morning everyone, just let me wolf down this amazing meal of tinned tongue, hardboiled eggs and ginger beer (don't you find food always tastes so much better outside?) and we'll toddle off on our latest adventure. We'll make sure Anne does the washing up (you'll make a proper little housewife and no doubt the fecund mother of four fine sons one day Anne ) and us boys can have the proper adventures! No, not you George - you're nearly as good as a boy but not quite. Leave the actual procreating to me and Dick. Woof woof! Shut up Timmy!

Just checking in on EmBarryO and the FrankelFollicle - 'tis vair exciting 'round these parts!

Thank you for the bday well wishes. For now, if you don't mind,I'll just hide out in the superhero lair snd wait for LazyBoy to arrive. I like all the ESH action - it's helping to distract.

Lazy you might find this website useful at this point.

EmBarryO is doing naff all as far as I can tell. The spacey feeling from yesterday has gone. And my boobs still don't hurt. On my two CPs I had symptoms super early - 2-3 days post-ov. So I don't think anything is going on this time. I'm 5 days past EC (ov substitute) now.

The FrankelFollicle has errupted - temp leapt 0.5c this morning. We did the sechs on Friday night, Sunday morning, Sunday night and again this morning (sechs fail on Saturday, despite trying 3 times ) so it's all in the lap of the gods. Blood test to confirm ov is next Monday and then T-Day is 20th.

Lazy at this point, nothing you do could possibly be considered unreasonable.

Thanks for the boob info. It's odd. It's usually the first sign I have to confirm I have oved and they stay hurty until about 24 hrs before Droid arrives. I'm not complaining, it's nice not to have the pain, but I was expecting it to be worse because of the high progesterone levels. In November I was feeling queasy from 2dpo until my period arrived a few days early and vey abruptly. In December I felt queasy for a few days and then it wore off, again starting at 2dpo.

Hurrah for the FrankelFollie's eruption!

I still have NO symptoms apart from hurty boobs. Oh and bleeding gums when I clean my teeth. And weird shivers.

Lazy shouldn't I be rubbing you for good luck?!!

Good work with The Sechs Frank. Now who is doing this new Fred?

Whoever does it needs to shoehorn "Yippee kiyay" into the title

My internet is broke. That's why I'm not here. Just thought I'd say. Bloody BT.

You lot are Atkinson long about the new fred that I've taken matters into my own hands.

New fred here

Bugger, auto-correct fail!

Atkinson = taking

I have enjoyed the famous five fred. Farewell Julian, Dick, George, Anne and of course Timmy. Well done for diffing Jeffers.

I wish the hols could last forever. Goodbye Aunt Fanny. Goodbye creepy Uncle Quentin. Have fun with the fisherboy, Timmy.

Goodbye Kirrin Island. Goodbye Jo the smelly gypsy girl who now has a pleasing carbolic aroma and cast off gym shoes. Goodbye Joan the cook and thanks for all the topping meals! Five and the Adventure of the IVF Conception comes to a close.

Do you know what? I am feeling actual sadness FFS!

I am unwilling to let go of my fred. What a sadact I am.

Farewell to Kirrin Island. I too am sad are adventure is at an end :(

Ironically enough, I clipped my hair to one side on Saturday and I looked just like Anne. Not good

I can't believe it only lasted 3 weeks.

Have you got your sandwiches wrapped in brown paper Norf? I'm sure we will be back again when we cant think of a new theme next summer

Yes, but I've promised Aunt Fanny not to eat them till lunchtime. Sigh. I wish we could stay on Kirrin Island forever.

Well we can have another one soon then

Yes. If we work hard at school and come top in French, it can be our reward.

I am altogether too fond of Enid Blyton, I fear.

Me too

We've done Malory Towers. We've done Famous Five. They're the two obvious choices.

I've enjoyed this fred too. Bye bye, childhood nostalgia!
