The Elderberry Sausage Wangers (thread 5) and the hunt for immaculate conception - a frightfully good thread for the over-30s TTC their first baby.

[Bunnygirlie]

Our new home, hope we will all be very unhappy here and leave soon ;-)

Can I join?
You'll want me in your gang as every female around me seems to fall pregnant (friends, colleagues, neighbours).

Ah...crap! I meant to say Bunny AND Merkin - extra big piece for both of you to say sorry for the sofa incident. That went all kinds of wrong!

I played Jam Sandwich!! Had forgotten til now! Hate to say it but I'm feeling so sorry for myself I am joining you on the sofa in my onsie

Hello qazxc! Welcome to the Elderberries! Have a piece of tiffin! How long have you been trying? Bloody hate it when everyone around you seems to be getting pregnant!

Not so fast there, Merkin; I don't own a onesie, but I do own a spectacularly fluffy, full-length patterned nightie type thing...it also has a hood. Your onesie doesn't scare me off!

clearly I am going to get your name wrong every time so what can I call you?? Now find something odd to wear, squeeze onto this sofa, grab a biscuit and tell us all about yourself...

Boodle, does Mr Boodle see you in that?? Could that be the root cause of your troubles? I have a lovely pair of wooly slipper boots with pompoms on the top (cheers mum)!

I also have a lovely pair of woolly slipper boots with pompoms! Thanks mum too. (I'm going to conveniently omit the fact that I put them on my Amazon wish list...)

Yeah...you might have a point about Mr. Boodle...it's not the sexiest...but it's so fluffy I could die!

Even better, to go with all my sexiest outfits I have a 'slanket'... Yes a wooly blanket with sleeves (thanks MIL) so we can now be extra cosy on the sofa!!

Oooh, I have a fleecy slanket with Multi coloured stars on it! I'm there! One of my cats has decided to join us - she loves the slanket. Also both of them have been spayed so no pg pets to deal with while bitter and twisted! Hurrah!
I've eaten another half a packet of biscuits tonight to go with the first half from last night. Mustn't make this a habit.
DH and I had decided to dtd on tuesdays, thursdays and sundays in an effort to catch the eod theory, but without having to count! Was too sad this eve. Fail. I'm not good at it anyway, but when sad, it's even more difficult. Boooo.

boodle and merkin Oh my! A onesie AND a slanket, not sure whether to run away or just join in I'm dead sexy too

Welcome to our gang q tell us about you!

Boooo cats cross post! Welcome to the pity party sofa!

P.s. what the heck is jam sandwich?!?

cats the night is still young, plenty of chance yet. And your chances are greatly increased while donning odd nightwear, fluffy socks and a slanket.... So hurry!

Tomorrow will be better!! Welcome q. Looking forward to hearing more about you. Good night berries.

q has clearly read this and fled in fear at the weirdos that reside here!

Thanks merkin! Crossed posts. Think the ship has sailed & DH not enthusiastic about waking up earlier in the morning. Will try tomorrow evening!

Evening new qazxc (I see what you did there), add your details to the list of the damned.

I'm amusing myself looking for a new cooker for the new house.

Seriously guys, get one of those graze boxes. They can include cake and chocolate.

Who are you calling a weirdo?!?

I hope it was me !

What am I missing about qazxc that everyone else gets? [scratching head emoticon]

Weirdo? Just me I should think!

In a cheery mood as I can start peeing on sticks tomorrow (albeit OPKs) but this stage in a cycle is so promising I find (pre realising I missed O, forgot to have sex, got AF symptoms etc)

We're the weirdos altogether! Hooraaaay! Pip, the first thing I did when I read your post was open the graze website! Do you have to sign up and put in card details and stuff for the freebie? I know if I do that it'll be a slippery slope to twice weekly olives and chocolate covered raisins!

How to do a 'Jam Sandwich':

Step 1: Find a sofa upon which are people happily minding their own business.
Step 2: Run full pelt at sofa and hurl self at its occupants, hollering 'Jam Sandwich' at top volume.
Step 3: Enjoy rolling around on top of squished sofa dwellers! Make sure that any attempts at escape are foiled by employing the 'I'm up, I'm up! No wait I accidentally fell back down again.' strategy.

Now you are a master! Go forth and sandwich!

Doh! I dip out into RL for a couple of hours and I miss the chocolate biscuits?!?! Can someone fish down the side of the sofa and see if there are some crumbs left? I'm not fussy.
I am however wearing my stripy onesie and have been under my pink fleecy slanket all night. So I feel like I've been with you all in spirit, even if I've been scoffing Jamaica ginger cake rather than choccy biscuits. DP has man flu so felt obliged to veg on the sofa with him rather than head to the computer and get some lesson planning done.

Hello qazxc! ^^ Have you got any chocolate biscuits? With all this talk of chocolate I may need to make some chocolate brownies tomorrow....

Merkin If I'm making the correct assumption, qazxc has selected her name by the pattern of where the letters q, a, z, x and c are on a standard keyboard. This may not be what the other berries are commenting on. I may be totally wrong and have missed something....

Ah makes sense, am too stupid on my phone so didn't notice
