I'm imaging this one as more of an Eeyore stick hut type thing. Maybe Eeyore is actually still in residence.

Oi! Ready!! Stop slagging yourself off. It's bad enough that we feel so down sometimes, but to judge yourself so harshly for it really is the icing on the John Simm cake!

Do you feel like posting "pathetic cow" to us when we are down? No! So, hey, stop doing it to yourself.

Disclaimer: This should not, in any way, be construed as an attempt to cheer Ready up, so please don't kick me out of the hut.

Hello all - I have sat here in a stunned silence having read the Amrak post (still on your profile Duchesse!) - I can't believe anyone would write that. I lost a bean before Xmas and I didn't have any nasty thoughts polluting my body etc etc - we don't need to go there again! MN has been a rock to me (lots of lurking) - you ladies are an inspiration really and it is a comfort to know there are other people feeling the same as you do (makes you feel human again, not just a blubbering wreck).

Sorry to bring up an old topic but that troll should keep her mouth shut - if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything!!

Off for a glass of wine, she got me mad!!

beansprout · 21/02/2007 19:52

Yummy - sorry you lost your bean. You can have some wine here if you like. Can I tempt you to a Colin Firth muffin?

YummyMummy34 · 21/02/2007 19:54

Yes please - as I always say, you can't beat a good muffin.......... Now a Ben Fogle muffin would be lovely!!

beansprout · 21/02/2007 19:58

I think Ready is just knocking up a batch now

wishing1 · 21/02/2007 20:06

My dh and I were at the airport taking a little get away 3 day trip and he said, here you can sit next to this person so you can see her baby, I was in one of those foul moods, AF had just arrived again DAMN HER! I said, "that's cruel, I don't want to look at another baby"! He just turned his head and said quietly "okay". I'm in the 2 week drag and dreading every day of it as it will only lead to another failed attempt at trying to conceive nothing! It's affecting my work, affecting my sleep, my relationship, pretty much consumes my every thought, so sick of it. I'm with you guys on wanting to just SCREAM at those bitching pregnant women, they don't even realize how lucky they are, I would dream and do anything to be in their shoes, I would love to be the one throwing up every morning and becoming fat, bring it on!!!!!!!!

maisyday · 21/02/2007 20:11

Some do realise how lucky they are, that's why I still lurk here because the feeling never goes away. Nothing at all I can say will help. All I can say is that it has 'clouded'? for want of a better word my view of pregnancy and having a child and please please don't take it out on yoyr dh, in his little way he was probably only trying to be kind.

wishing1 · 21/02/2007 20:16

yeah, I know he was, he knows how much I love babies and when we were first ttc I couldn't wait to be around every baby and everyone pregnant and now since it isn't happening, I withdraw from them, like the christmas party we went to and EVERY woman there, there were 4 couples was PG!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to drown myself in alcohol that night, but as I started talking to them, they were all in their late thirtees and had each tried for almost two years, so it made me feel like it would eventually happen as it did for them, hopefully it does

beansprout · 21/02/2007 20:19

Maisy, thanks for your good wishes but given your understanding of our situation, you may well recall that well meant advice from pregnant people / people with babies, doesn't always quite hit the spot when you are ttc. I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Wishing - I know how you feel. I had to work (in a team of 3) with a pregnant woman when I was longing for a baby a while back and it was just awful. I have the worst fake smile in the world and I just wanted to yell, "shutupshutupshutup" every time I had to hear another tiny frigging detail of the baby, what they wanted to buy, how were they going to manage, what her stomach felt like etc etc etc. Just torture.

Debbsyandson · 21/02/2007 20:23

here you go ladies
a footspa for you all

maisyday · 21/02/2007 20:25

I hope I haven't become one of those people I used to want to throttle. I am truly sorry if I have caused any offence, hand on heart it was not intended.

feedmenow · 21/02/2007 20:26

God, I could really do with some REAL chocolate right now! But I weighed myself today and I'm creeping closer and closer to my 9mth pg weight from 5 years ago! Must.....resist....chocolate.......

feedmenow · 21/02/2007 20:27

Oh, and Maisydaisy, can't speak for others but you certainly haven't offended me

YummyMummy- thanks for reminding me!

Feedme- ditto re end of pregnancy weight. It is truly shocking. I have put most of it on since the miscarriage in October.

Everyone- hi guys. Have you scoffed all the Colin Firth muffins? I at first misread what Ready wrote, and thought the Firth himself was being pushed through the door, but then decided he'd probably be more scared than anything after being in Beansprout's er... hands last week, and frankly, a quaking Firth didn't quite do it for me...

Ready- the Hut is just for these days. Spew it, sister! No bottling.

Maisyday- I perceive you as a benign presence, not at all intent on cheering us up. Thank you.

Catbabymummy · 21/02/2007 21:00

You can have as much virtual chocolate as you like...
Though, was very tempted by those doughnuts.

Ready · 21/02/2007 21:07

I'm not sure I can keep up with this muffin baking malarkey!! One tray of "Fogle Muffins" as requested.

Did someone order this?? Apparently he doesn't mind the gagging and binding

Beansprout, don't worry, you haven't cheered me up!! Nothing will cheer me up about the fact that my egg seems to have performance anxiety this month and is refusing, point blank, to leave the warmth of my ovary ... you did however, help to take my mind off it, which is definitely what I need. So thank you.

Duchesse, I do tend to bottle everything up. I love the hut, I don't visit often, as I tend to overdo the positivity (it's the only way I stop from cracking I reckon!)... but it's great to come in here for some real sharp words and realism!

Lalala, the poisonous troll effluent is all cleaned up. I've done some spring cleaning in there as well.

Well, hello, what's this? A Colin Firth? Step this way, my dear...

plummymummy · 21/02/2007 21:26

Maisyday I wasn't offended by your comment either. Maybe the hut of doom needs to be more explicit (i.e anyone who isn't currently ttc shouldn't come on here). Ffs, imo the woman was well-meaning. Why do women give eachother such a hard time

Ready · 21/02/2007 21:32

What did I miss? Who gave who a hard time??

plummymummy · 21/02/2007 21:38

Read the last few messages Ready. I also feel I should apologise for my venom as I'm having a bad day and probably shouldn't say anything until I can make a measured response.

Bad days are our business, plummy. We're all a bit "snarky" quite a lot of the time. Comes with the territory. I think that our lovely wellwishers remember what it felt like, or they wouldn't be here in the first place, wishing us well. I hope they will forgive us our snarkiness, even if it is excessive sometimes... [ bunch of flowers smiley ]

And can someone please tell where bloody blowflies come from in bloody February? Although twas practically Spring today...

PS: When I said I'd cleaned up troll effluent, I just meant the dropping I'd left yesterday in my profile, and that YummyMummy reminded me of, in case anybody were misconstruing.
