The Elderberry Pavlovas: sit on the sofa of hopefulness and make yourself a special omelette while prescribing the vomming cat to those that deserve it and observing the lunching of the tactless.

It's time for some more grads!!

The smallprint - Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months NO instadiffers, must have a special pot)

Well after a vaginal birth boom you have to get the next size up apparently as you will have a bucket fanny stretched slightly

Sorry barking, got sidetracked into essay mid-post and missed you! You look very lovely in your Dorothy pigtails btw

Frog bwahahahaha! Chucking a mooncup welly up Briggate eh?! (If that's just a Yorkshire saying that makes no sense to anyone I do apologise!)

Evening my lovelies.

Moaning? Wot? On ere? Nah! Well never from me, honest- I am the very picture of demure positivity

kitty if we are opposite-cycle buddies then we can set up an easy rota system between the pouffee if possibility, the sofa of self pity and the rug of rage, at various times in our cycle. We can share the cushion of confusion at other times- its pretty big.

barking while you're skipping down the avenue of bumps, you could hold your arms out as you go and Wang them all individually with a bratwurst.

I can imagine it already- the noise would go: diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff

And they would all scowl and wipe sausage juice off their tops and that'd learn them.

Oh thank you Boom

I'm quite tempted to try this mooncup lark. I have a problem with tampons now as some days are so light I need minis (which you have to hunt to buy) but some days I need regulars, but if I guess wrong which one I need and go too big I end up feeling like I've had my insides sucked up and all the moisture has gone forever . The problem with guessing too light is obvious... A mooncup would probably solve the issue. And I would save money on tampons and towels and not have to remember to have spares with me etc.

Hmm. I've only ever heard good things about them (apart from the friend who apparently had to ask her then boyfriend to retrieve hers when she got it stuck , I think I mentioned that the last time we had a mooncup conversation).

Oo, thunder YES!! Like when you run along railings holding out a stick so it goes ping ping ping ping ping ping....

Yes, sorry, MC was referring to mooncup, not miscarriage! Should've realized that would be confusing but let my laziness get the better of me!

Prevusly I'd always used a combination of pads & tampons but other the mooncup. Was able to get away with just a pantilinerand the mooncup itself. No leaking - none - I was amazed.

LO I had the same thought about buying it and then needing to change sizes; c'mon Sod!!

Argh meant LOL. Time for bed.

I think Lo is an underused but excellent expression actually sid - I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. How about we adopt it when announcing here in berrysville?

And Lo sid did do a typo and stomped off to bed.
And Lo barking did befanjo herself with said mooncup.

and Lo, thunder realised she talks an awful lot of nonsense so decides its time to go to bed too. But not before flashing her left breast at the shuttle in an act of crude defiance

Evening all, what a jolly atmosphere here this evening!

I've stopped googling low temps and switched to searching for new cake recipes and icing nozzles instead, much more pleasing!

And lo, Sid cannot get comfy in bed next to her DH bc she's annoyed from tidying up after him, but still knows she must DTD in 8 hours lest she continue losing her mind for want of a baby.

Pretty much sums it up! hey this could be fun, you might be on to something thunder!

Aaaah thunder it all makes sense now. Thought it sounded spectacularly unlikely!

Your yellow-brick-road-bratwurst-wanging image has just made me snort in an unladylike fashion.

Oh gawd, I have to stop spending half an hour to write a message, now I've missed a zillion messages..and Lo, most of them are from Thunder

Oooh scone please will you find a recipe for something involving almonds and booze. Almondy cakey goodness will take my mind off essays and wonky uteruses and where the f**k on earth AF has gone...

boom I make a mean almond and raspberry bake well that would be great with some booze in!

boom
Grease & line baking tin, square or rectangular.

I use food mixer.

Base - 1 pack butter, 225g pain flour, 60g sugar.
Blend and spread into tin.
Cook in med oven until slightly golden.

Cover in raspberry jam and raspberries.

In mixer blend 4 eggs, 150g butter, 150g sugar, 150g ground almonds. Plus whatever booze you like.

Plop in blobs on top of raspberries and spread out, cover in flaked almonds and cook until springy!!

Woot! Thanks scone, that looks like something even idiot bakers like me could manage! I bet that would be fine with gluten-free flour too? (she says hopefully)

Should be fine just use plain flour you could even use ground almonds in the base too instead of flour.

I have a really really easy gluten free chocolate brownie recipe too...

Ooooh... that sounds dangerous. And yet I think we'd be doing the other berries a disservice if I didn't beg ask you to post it..

barking well I see your 18 months and raise you another 6!!! Must mean I'm even closer then!!!!

Well opks still -ve but temp gone up so think I might have ov'd on day after all. Wasn't quite sure whether opk on Friday was -ve or +-ve if I'm honest. Hence why now use digital unless I'm stupid enough to forget the reader on holiday

Hospital meant to be calling in June re starting iui. 1st day of af due 2nd June so guessing it will be July now grr. Other thing is dh is going to Glastonbury and guessing he won't do it sober so swimmers will prob be even more rubbish than normal!!'

scone could u ice that and make it like a bakewell?

boom will post recipe for brownie later

puppy you could leave off the flaked almonds and drizzle with icing when cooled

My temp has gone back up above cover line this morning so am keeping my fx it stays up now!
