Hut of Gl/Doom, part IV - FTC, because that's what we do....

Et voila.

This Hut is more of a Bedouin or desert tent than anything too gloomy. We shall supply our our own gloom.

Frivolous is good IMO.... just hope for Duchesse is out of bounds!!!! .

feedmenow · 10/05/2007 11:59

Soreheart, are those eurovision points for me? Oooh, how v. exciting (actually NOT meant sarcastically!!).
Choccie, is it OK to be upbeat and excitable about eurovision points whilst remaining gloomy about camels??

Chocolatedays · 10/05/2007 12:18

Eurovision Oui
Camels Non

duchesse · 10/05/2007 15:48

My camel's humps are going down. Is that a bad sign?

Chocolatedays · 10/05/2007 15:52

Damn. How annoying - fancy an early G&T?

duchesse · 10/05/2007 15:56

Yeah, go on then. As long as I can have one of those little paper parasols in it too.

Cheers!

Slice of lemon or lime?

Oh... and here are some posh nibblynobs to munch on. Toasted alsmonds, cashews, pistachios. mmmmm.

duchesse · 10/05/2007 16:02

Pistachois!!! Salted? Yum! Thanks. Since this is still a desert tent, we ought to have some dates as well I reckon. Although we will have to move huts soon...

OP posts:
Chocolatedays · 10/05/2007 16:06

I quite like the move - gives us another themed place to get used to.

So - if you are right to be pessimistic are you goind to look into treatments?

Soreheart · 10/05/2007 18:00

I've been very good regarding calorie in-take today and thus, am Hank Marvin. So, I'd REALLY like some salty savouries, please. And a G&T, with lime. In fact, I will make a jug.
Eurovision style points were, originally, for C-Days but it would be churlish not to allocate douze pointes to all Hut members. After all, we'll probably get nowt on Saturday for the real Eurovision. I can't decide if this is good or bad. Culturally, I'm torn.
Duchesse, how is the book of the chat coming on? There's a syndicated weekly column in here, I know it.

God, I am SOOOOOO bitter and twisted! Suspected an aquaintance was pg and had it confirmed today and I felt really bitter and resentful! And if I'm being honest, I even feel bitter if someone here gets their bfp (like Jekyll and Hyde, one side of me really happy for them and really excited for them, the other half a real mean green monster ) I really think though that my struggle is with people due in August or Sept (I was due beginning of August) cos it just seems and feeld far too close for my liking, you know, too much of a reminder.
Also, have had an invite to a wedding reception which is on 4th August - my due date was between 3rd & 6th so I reckon I'll just be at a party full of happy people thinking "I should/could have been in labour now...."
Duchess, sorry to hear that your camels are drooping However, it ain't over til the fat lady sings (or messes up your grundies!) so lets just wait and see.....
ANy chance that any of those nuts are wrapped in yummy choccie?? Could do with an endorphine hit!!

nomoremagnolia · 10/05/2007 21:54

No nuts here (apart from me of course) but found some (slightly fluffy) flumps in the bottom of my sitcase and also have some thorntons chocs. Feeling kind of ambivalent towards whole ttc/ftc thing now, though colleague's pg 17 year-old daughter came into work today for lunch with her mum, so I missed my lunch cause I couldn't bear to be in the staffroom with a accidently knocked-up-6-weeks-after-she met-him-17-year-old.
Bah humbug! (actually re-reading that maybe I'm not so abivalent after all)

nomoremagnolia · 10/05/2007 21:54

*suitcase

LatenightOwl · 10/05/2007 22:24

Oh - did I hear MOVE? how about we move to a Spa, then I can wallow away in the jacuzzi! and could do with some beauty treatments all those chocs are bringing me out in spots!

duchesse · 11/05/2007 21:56

Walks through rattling dish of pistachios and calling "chook chook chook"

hello!!

am pissed off! had my day 8s taken yesterday, about 7pts. the nurse has messed up my arm, i cant have an hsg this month and dh is refusing to have any of his tests. says im pressurising him!

w*nker!

duchesse · 12/05/2007 08:12

Ahem... Maybe that's what he's objecting to?

Seriously though, that sounds like crap. Maybe it is just as well you can't do any of the tests this month as it will give you time to work to on himself's attitude and what is bothering him. Maybe he is in fact scared. I don't think that men have quite the same hormonal investment and drive that women do in the procreative process.

It's a bit early to start drinking, even for the hut, but here- have this Irish coffee.

lissielou · 12/05/2007 08:16

lol thanks! he keeps reminding me that i nearly died. an ep is a big thing and every time i mc im in agony. but i dont care about all that. i know im being selfish but would he rather we gave up?

beansprout · 12/05/2007 08:19

He is scared of watching you go through any more pain (physical or emotional), which is very lovely and typically male. Have you talked about all of this at length?

lissielou · 12/05/2007 08:24

yes, and i thought we'd agreed. i mean we are actively ttc again and i havent pushed him into it, we agreed that now was a good time. we're going away etc but he still wont go and have a w*nk and give some blood!

feedmenow · 12/05/2007 09:28

Morning all. Sorry about your hubby lissie. I can't fathom men - like you say, you can talk something through and come up with an agreement but they still don't act on it, do they? I mean, you ARE taking to MdmeDeuxShags here!
Changing the subject a little, just 27 days after the last lot my bearded dragon laid another 15 eggs last night! Poor love looks exhausted! We are going to have to split the tank in two (and VERY soon at that) and let them be together under supervised conditions only!!

lissielou · 12/05/2007 15:32

dirty beggars

lissielou · 12/05/2007 16:50

Chocolatedays · 12/05/2007 17:28

Is it ever too early for a cocktail?

beansprout · 12/05/2007 18:37

I know what you mean Lissie, I'm so sick of marking my life by my cycle days.
