Fred rules (copied and adapted from previous Fred)

  1. Thou shalt shag as much as humanly possible in order to get upduffed.
  2. Thou shalt not partake of OPKs, temping, or charting.
  3. Thou shalt keep symptom spotting to a minimum.
  4. Thou shalt share with your fredmates where needed.
  5. Thou shalt not be offended by the word vagina.

JSing lingo


ERTD = Evil Red Tide of Dooooooommmmmmm. Or AF to most others. Also known as 'the witch', 'bitch witch' and 'that one with the red shiny convertible'

Viroid = This is you, dear poster. This is from the first JS thread when someone tried to type 'ladies' and it autocorrected to 'Viroids' - so there you go!

Pant snot = Egg white cervical mucus.

Doing a kitten = Getting upduffed soon after joining (warning: may induce envy in other posters).

POAS = Pee On A Stick (of the pregnancy detecting kind, not from a tree). Also known as PIAR (Pee In A Ramekin - cos we're posh birds innit), or PIATLH (Tea light holder), PIAWG (Wine glass) or anything else you care to pee in! PONF = Pee on Nigel Farage (Self explanatory, who wouldn't?)

ROC = Receptacle of Choice - what one chooses to use for the task of POAS. Optional decorations include photographs of controversial political leaders.

JIAC = Jizz in a Cup. Preferable to jizz on the carpet or jizz in the eye. This one's for the lucky men in our lives.

Shagging like Something = JSing like a teenage nymphomaniac.

Giving a hooya = Giving a much needed slap to a fellow poster in danger of slipping into ttc obsession. Warning - this may happen to you if you start trying to POAS at 5dpo. PUT. THE. PISSY. STICK. DOWN. IT'S TOO EARLY!

Contraband (or Cuntraband) = Of COURSE none of us EVER partake of any silly OPKs or temp charting. They are Contraband.

Icing = ovulating. Another autocorrect development!

Getting your Cape on = planning some serious pouncing on DH/DP

SOTM = Shagger of the Month. Awarded with varying regularity to those viroids who go above and beyond EOD shagging in pursuit of that BFP

TWOT - Two Weeks of Torture. AKA Schroedingering!
TWPU - Two Week Piss Up!

Keeping your gingers = fingers crossed, yet another autocorrect development! Shortened to 'gx'

Doing A Lemon = Testing WAAAAAAAY to early!

Miroid - The male compadre of a viroid

Cat - Compulsory

Skittletits - Killer molten painful tits and nipples

Ghost jizz/goat jazz - When the amazing foof sucks up all the jizz - achieved when coming at the same time/nearly the same time.

Aww chat how awful - Flowers for your friend Sad

fruit stick around all you want! But try not to worry (I know it's hard)

Who is next to poas?

ChatEnOeuf · 28/08/2015 14:17

Thanks all.

Mermaid BMI/wt alone is so unhelpful when looking at health. I have a friend who is as lean as you like to look at but apparently has an obese BMI.

Fruit stick around as long as you like, the first few weeks are scary.

New Fred will be up this evening inspire me

FeatheredTail · 28/08/2015 14:18

Sadly no pissing for me for some time. I am on a Lil instructed pissing ban until AF is due....

FeatheredTail · 28/08/2015 14:21

Only annoyance about the TWW is that I have a 13 hour wedding (yeah, 13 hours. 13 HOURS) 5 days before AF is due.

The ILs will be there for some of it and someone will notice if I am not drinking. Not drinking for 13 hours - even of I limit myself to 3-4 glasses of champagne throughout the day - won't go unnoticed.

I kind of want to do a FRER next sat on the morning of the wedding - so I can either get my disappointment over with and get merry OR feel excited and proudly not drink.

....?

Sorry. Once again been a bit mememememememmemem

FeatheredTail · 28/08/2015 14:21

....e

FeatheredTail · 28/08/2015 14:22

Ain I hope you're ok?? Have you got up/had a shower etc?

ChatEnOeuf · 28/08/2015 14:35

Ain you sound Sad. How are you this afternoon?

Feathered - if you get a BFN on the day of the wedding (which you will, because 5 days early is Lemon territory), will you drink loads, or will you still hold off because it's too early to tell, and you might still be upduffed? Save your pennies! Or, stick to the couple of champagnes and add in a couple of G&Ts, just keep topping up the T when you're running low.

On a related note: 13 hours? Even with a late morning ceremony, that's a long day. Having said that, I've been to affairs that last several days and as many outfits.

FeatheredTail · 28/08/2015 15:34

13 hours. Not an Asian wedding with lots of different parts either, just bog standard church wedding .... That starts at 11am. Urgh. A really long day.

If I got a negative I'd just drink as much as I fancied. I'm not usually a huge drinker but it's easy to put a lot away at weddings....especially ones that are this long.

Tinktheterrible · 28/08/2015 16:29

feathered my first question would be; is there a free bar? I'm from the Midlands, if it's free we drink it Grin just make sure you dive into the canapés and buffet and drink gallons of water. Also, spritzers/coolers and pimms can be made to last ages and are a bit watered down, chats tonic idea is genius. The last few weddings I've been to I've driven "just in case" and quite regret it now so my best advice would be to get stuck in, just don't go mad Smile and try not to piss early. That way madness surely lies.

ain hope you're ok my lovely. This too shall pass. It's horrible when you don't know why you feel shit. Maybe try and do whatever gets your endorphins going? For me a run, a litre of mineral water then a lovely carby tea and a nice bottle glass of wine usually makes the world a better place. Sometimes I get a bit like that the day before I realise I'm coming down with something too. If that's the case maybe stay in bed with tea and biscuits? Let us know if you need chicken soup or a cuddle Flowers

5hell · 28/08/2015 17:18

feathered have a few, have plenty, have fun! ;)
I think other people notice al ot less than you might think...we went to a wedding last year and later found out 2 good friends were preggers - one was genuinely driving (had a toddler to take home early) and the other did some very cunning drink switching with her dh (who drinks like a fish) so she didn't have to keep refusing drinks... we had no clue on the day Grin

fruitlovingmonkey · 28/08/2015 17:18

feathered I had a looong wedding in my tww and I drank a little. They had pimms after the ceremony so I had a couple of those and my dh topped it up with lemonade for me multiple times. With champers and wine later we did the switching trick. I also told people I'd had a big night the night before so no one batted an eyelid when I hit the water hard. It's a VERY boozy group. Tbh it was quite an effort keeping track of what I'd had with half glasses here and there but it was worth it not to have to give any explanations.

FeatheredTail · 28/08/2015 18:27

I will try to restrain myself from pissing on anything until AF is due (although my last BFP was at 10 DPO and 5 days before AF was meant to arrive). Think it best for my sanity. And I've been so good this cycle too! No going mad over CBFM etc! bows to thunderous applause

Good advice with the Pimms and top ups all. Tink - I believe it will be a free bar, but I will try to restrain myself!

In fact, I quite fancy a huge small G&T now having just finished the working week from hell!

FeatheredTail · 28/08/2015 18:31

What's everyone having for dinner? I'm having:

A little nibble on some rosemary linguettes (post flatbreads from waitrose) and a few sprats I've been marinading.

Then pan fried seabass with lime and corriander rice and a lime, corriander, parsley, chilli, avocado, tomato, mango and olive salad/salsa.

YUM. Although the only reason I'm not having a chinese (duck pancakes and chicken and noodle soup) is because my greedy moose of a DH treated himself to the work canteen special of chinese chicken.

Chinese chicken cheeky fucker.

FeatheredTail · 28/08/2015 18:31

That would be *posh flatbreads from Waitrose. Vey, vey naice.

lildottie · 28/08/2015 18:35

Hi all. Sorry I've been mia today, been busy working. No idea what a Skype baby shower is lol. She is in a different country as her dh is navy and they applied for a posting overseas for a few years. I think it will make me sad but not upset if that makes sense. So I think I can handle it. So I'm going to do it. Birth announcement from dhas cousin didn't touch me last week so hopefully that's an indication I'm in a good place atm. Thanks for the support viroids.

ain have you seen your counsellor recently? Hope you're OK?

chat I'm so sorry for you're friend, but I'm sorry for you too. That must have dragged up some still very raw emotions. [Flowers]

Feathered just drink, but try and take it a bit easier than normal. If ur not upduffed you'll begrudge that you didn't drink. If you are upduffed it won't get to bean until after 5 weeks anyway so enjoy one last blow out!

lildottie · 28/08/2015 18:37

ain next appointment is 9/9

Oh nfmv: the witch rocked up today!

Mermaid36 · 28/08/2015 18:38

We are having a Chinese tonight...

Have done a 4 mile walk and lunch with friends, then come home and had a shag nap...I absolutely CBA cooking, so we're off to grab a takeaway Smile

Keepatit · 28/08/2015 18:40

Ooosh! Can I come to yours for dinner?

Pizza and salad over here. Typical Friday night 'treat' then I'm going to log into my fitness pal app and keep logging on until I've lost 2 4 stone!

Af is due on Tuesday so I'm going to make the most of this weekend before she arrives - because she will. although my nips aren't sore (usual running up to AF), I'm lacking in other AF signs, I felt sick this morning and I had a left twinge yesterday I'm not symptom spotting this month because I said I wasn't going to Hmm

Tinktheterrible · 28/08/2015 18:42

Plaice with something tbc! Off for a pint first Smile

Ooh lil hope she's kind.

ChatEnOeuf · 28/08/2015 19:29

Thanks Lil - it did. But I'm in a place where I can help her, and that's who I am so I'm at peace. It also helped that I could see where things were going from a long way out Sad

Glad the witch is in town!

Mushroom risotto here, went down well...
DD: c'est delicieux. Can I have ice cream?
DH: Very good...but I feel like I need a main course now

Mmm...duck pancakes

ChatEnOeuf · 28/08/2015 21:01

More smutty poetry...new Fred is here! - no starting 'til this one's full up :)

Keepatit · 28/08/2015 21:22

Aww fanx chat - great title!

I did however notice I'm not on the stats... I've been here for about 5-6 months Shock (was kezaroo)... Who updates the stats sheet?

fruitlovingmonkey · 28/08/2015 21:31

Great Fred name chat and you sound like a wonderful friend. Flowers
Nfmd: pizza and salad. Now I've got food envy.

ChatEnOeuf · 28/08/2015 21:32

Keep, you do it yourself or ask a kind-hearted soul with a laptop to do it for you. It's woefully out of date as La was a statto, but she went and did a baby a few weeks ago and it's all gone to shit...

bellybuttonfluffy · 28/08/2015 21:35

Great fred title chat, I like how the link added it to my watched list for me. No excuse for missing updates now Wink

I'm on the Wine. This week lasted forever! Managed 2 jizz bombs this week, DH gets a Star!
