Channing Tatum is a minger. Fact.

Wotsits, can you divulge what your career is? Yes, I suppose that is true; all jobs can be unfulfilling at times. I think I've started to lionise anyone with an actual job Hmm

PurdeyBirdie · 06/03/2015 20:02

Juney, please don't doctor your temps any more. I shall have to come round and box your ears if you do P.s...next time some sleazoid donor tells you he would 'need assistance' if he has to jizz in a cup just give me a shout: I'll lapdance for him and suck his balls

Purdey I have had huge confidence issues in the past. I blame these partly to growing up without a dad in my life, so when I started having relationships I felt so insecure about someone rejecting me and feeling not good enough for anyone. I went on antidepressants for anxiety at the age of 18 and have been on and off them ever since when I have found things difficult (normally this would coincide with times I was in new relationships and after 5/6 months of being in them then the same old anxiety would hit me again) plus having counselling when I really find things hard to cope with. At the age of 21 I stupidly started a relationship with a guy who, for 3 years mentally abused me. Who told me I was ugly, stupid, never going to find anyone better etc. I threw myself into my uni work as a distraction, I think. Anyway....that's me Blush

Purdey... I'm a barrister. Very dull spending your life in a court - despite the fact that people think its like watching a crime drama on TV.

Channing Tatum is a minger. And deceptively chubby, I feel...

Tessie... I had the same issues. My Dad died when I was young. Cue many an attachment issue!

Good evening bus! Smile
Hope everyone is well and welcome to the new joiners! Flowers

piercedprincess · 06/03/2015 20:41

Aww thanks for the welcome people. Yeah I'm crossing my fingers this month.

Sparkly123 I have him on Wellman, in fact that's what we believe made his numbers go up last time and I've told him to drink more water and we're going to get him some brazil nuts to up his selenium intake as well as upping his Vit C intake. Had him cut down on the caffeine as well.

Purdey As for the piercings, hah they're in ma face. Four lip studs, don't ask I've always been a bit quirky. Attached pic so you can see if you're curious.

Ah shit I miss my piercings. I had my Labret and arm (skin diver) nose, ears twice, and belly bettin and 8 tattoos. going to get a new tattoo soon. Got to give some blood first though.

Sparkly123 · 06/03/2015 21:19

You love a bit of pain don't you Glittery ha ha !

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 06/03/2015 21:31

I have a dark side which for the most time is hidden well lol xxx

Sparkly123 · 06/03/2015 21:36

Not on MN!! Ha. You ain't fooling anyone with your angelic Glittery thread name! Wink

PurdeyBirdie · 06/03/2015 21:37

Tessie, thank you for sharing such personal stuff about yourself. It is not at all gratifying to hear of others' emotional hang-ups or difficulties, but I feel I am not alone when I hear successful, clever career women have their own issues to contend with. I admire anyone who has succeeded in academia despite wrestling with themselves in other areas - I guess I am more haunted about my aborted degree than I like to admit. Thanks again for sharing Thanks

Pierced, never mind them studs...look at them lips! Angelina Jolie! Are they un-plumped-up with cows' ballbags filler?

PurdeyBirdie · 06/03/2015 21:40

Glittery, you are the opposite of your saccharine moniker! I have a tattoo on my spine from 1997 (a seahorse -quite beautiful) which a regret. I have been told by quite a few blokes that I have a great back (weight training; pole work) and I feel it was spoiled somewhat by the presence of a tattoo.

MaMa, are you okay? You didn't post last night..

PurdeyBirdie · 06/03/2015 21:41
  • 'I' not 'a'!
PurdeyBirdie · 06/03/2015 21:43

Tessie, did meeting your husband and getting married quash the insecurities? Or are they more entrenched than that? Don't answer if I have overstepped the nosy mark.

Sparkly123 · 06/03/2015 21:44

Spinning sure you will be drained after today, incase you come on .. Thinking of you Flowers Flowers Flowers

Sparkly123 · 06/03/2015 21:46

PurdeyBirdie · 06/03/2015 21:52

Yes, I'm thinking of Spinning, too..

Sparkly, looks like it's just me 'n' thee toneet, lass Grin

eskimolaura · 06/03/2015 21:56

I'm here Purds Got nothing to report except a few twinges in my uterus today. If I ovulated last Friday (Big IF), then I'm 8dpo aren't I? Not sure about anything any more! But I do have a referral appointment on the 19th to find out about my lack of AF.

juneybean · 06/03/2015 22:01

I'm here, just had a bath since I couldn't remember when I last had one

tessiegirl · 06/03/2015 22:05

Sorry to hear your dad died when you were young wotsits

Mine left when I was 6 months old and I decided to find him when I was 21. People always say 'But your dad didn't leave you, he left your mum, so why have you got insecurity issues?' But, I have never got to grips with how he could leave his own flesh and blood and not want anything to do with me. I couldn't help but feel I wasn't good enough to know or bother with...does that make sense?

Purdey, when I met DH the same issues reared their ugly head within 6 months of us being together. I found that as soon as a new relationship settled down and it wasn't in those first few months anymore when you constantly text and want to see one another, that is when I would start feeling insecure which would lead to irrational jealousy on my part out of a huge fear I would be rejected in the end. DH has always stood by me and maintained he was never going to leave, and he never has. We have had some low times at the beginning where I wasn't sure I could handle taking the risk that my heart could potentially be broken and wondered if I should just walk away to save myself the heartache. But I never have. Thank goodness! Slowly as time has gone on our relationship has strengthened and I no longer feel DH will walk away. He makes me feel adored. I still have some niggly moments but they are manageable. Life with DH is everything I ever wished for when I was younger. I just wanted a stable, loving relationship and I am so thankful to have found that.

Phew....essay!!!

piercedprincess · 06/03/2015 22:08

Lol Purdey nah ma gobs all natural but thanks for the compliment Grin

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 06/03/2015 22:08

Ha na, glittery lipgloss was the thing closest to me at the time when signing back up to mn again.

It should've been ilovecocktattosandvodka. But don't think that would've gone down well on the conception area of mn. Haha

Sparkly123 · 06/03/2015 22:15

Eskimo let's hope those twinges are a good sign. And good to know you have an all lined up too

Juney I actually AM a minger.. Our nurse at clinic told me not to have a shower for 24 hours after AI.. Eh what?!

Tessie you are a Strong lass . I'm so glad you have found such a lovely dh ... And you are right, he won't walk away from you.. How could he?! You are clearly quite wonderful! Flowers

Sparkly123 · 06/03/2015 22:17
