Bus🚌24 Dec TTC Itchy nips poking thru homemade wreaths, Peeing on 🎄crafting sticks, Touch me up 🎅🏻baby with your festive 🍆cos all we want for 🎄is a BFP!!

[Minster2012]

Welcome to the longest running funniest bus ride in history! Or so we like to think anyway...

We talk sex, tv, work, more sex, food, slimming, RHR, charts, spicing things up or down, crafting (a more recent addition for 🎄🎅🏻) and help each other out in any way possible. Oh and yeah Trying to make babies gets mentioned a bit too but more often than not our bodies just do what they want!

When I say a few of us have been around the TTC block I don’t mean 🍆I mean as a MN group, not just a bus, a mini sanctuary since March for some of through the highs and lows of making babies through 2020 ❤️🥰

How we roll on this bus...
⁃ No judgement & each to their own on your TTC journey
⁃ Sense of humour DEFINITELY required
⁃ A few of us like a sex toy a few don’t, there may be sex toys discussed! 🤪a few of our fellas have enjoyed this aspect
⁃ Support each other, ranting is allowed, saying you are down is encouraged & celebrating our happy days too 😘
⁃ We have fun
⁃ If you have a pet, it’s welcome aboard
⁃ Now mandatory picture of your 🎄tree when up or Xmas decorations / Xmas jumper or similar
⁃ Ditto Wreath - extra points awarded if wreath is homemade 🥰
⁃ NOTHING IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION

@Vil10 currently holds the 👑for filthiest/most embarrassing story, can you beat her??? Though @lucyrp recently spewed sambucca over her fingers so maybe that’s debatable

2 BFPs in Dec already and it’s the 1st 🥳

How many more 🤔

@Franklydear the glitter mitts are lovely! I'm getting very cold hands while typing at my desk at home so might have to make some.

@paintfairy another day 21 bloods needed?! Oh blimey, it does feel like they're dragging this out for you. Hopefully once that's done though you'll have the answers you need

@Franklydear nothing wrong with having some fun if you want to. Love the work gloves you made!

@notyetamumbuttrying fingers crossed your referral comes through quickly

@InkyPaper it's very refreshing to DTD for the fun of it without any expectations, for a change
Thanks, all, the gloves are very simple and easy to make, it only took me this long as I've been lazy, still trying to finish that blanket too

@minster2012 as promised here's the little tweed number! I'm sure you'll agree he's a handsome little bugger

We are going out now with his other puppy friend (my parents dog) to a local park, so excited as haven't seen my parents properly for weeks!

@Kirky658 he's so cute! Enjoy the park 😊

@Kirky658 ❤️😍gorgeous

@Franklydear that's my world! Knob for fun!

@paintfairy haha yes! Need to learn how to wolf whistle and hail a cab 😂 sounds awesome. One day!

@Kirky658 aww is that a yorkie russle cross?

Well I'm starting to allow myself to believe our flights in 2 weeks time won't be cancelled 🙏🏻 will be the first time seeing my family since august 2019 so I'm very excited 🥰

@newbie0818 he's a pomeranian miniature schnauzer cross! Amazing, where are you flying to? I work in travel and flight schedules are really picking up again now x

@Kirky658 he is a cute little guy

@Newbie0818 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

To all those who think "aww I can't wait to decorate a tree with my toddler it'll be magical" I'm doing it on my own & it's currently the most mutha fuckin stressful experience of my life. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ps, I'm sure your precious first borns will be darlings who do everything you say. mine doesn't. #tellingitlikeitis

@Minster2012 my precious first born still doesn’t play ball #perfectfamily, he is an angel really, perfectly behaved when he is asleep, cannot be perfect all of the time

@Kirky658 he's gorg. We're going to Dubai as my dad lives there and it's where I grew up. Haven't had a Xmas there for a couple years so will be nice to be back. Just hoping that 1. We get a negative covid test (getting tested as both working in schools), and 2. It doesn't get cancelled like the last 2 times! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Minster2012 haha I just know with my luck ours is going to be a little shite. The dog is bad enough. We're not having our usual tree up this year as won't be here, but I've got a lovely little replacement and some Xmas doohickeys around the house. Will post a pic at some point.

Wee update ladies!! Team blue 💙 xx thanks so much for listening to all my moaning up until this point (and beyond lol cos I'm not leaving u all) xx

Congrats to all the new BFPs 🥳 and to @Catherinettc on the boy! Did you do a gender reveal?

@Joanna1009 urgh, if it’s him that wants the baby he should be making some changes! Also it takes three months to see difference in sperm, I don’t know if it’s any help to know this but it’s after three months of nothing at all of anything fun for either of us and loads of vitamins we caught, despite the odds.

@KateColx seed lip gin is nice! I keep meaning to get some for myself, I’ve just been drinking ginger beer to help with the nausea 🤣

@blackcurrantqueen that wreath 😍 how do you find/win an Instagram competition? When will it arrive?

@Kirky658 what a great harness! Is he fully grown? My pup (boy) is in the battered pink hand-me-down harness of my other dog 😅 but I got her a new harness and leash the other day and it’s brightening cold grey walks up so much.

Living vicariously through everyone’s Christmas decorations, we’ve decided Christmas is basically cancelled this year. It’s just us, I’ve not seen my family for a year, between the cats and the puppy and the house reno there’s no point decorating, and the first trimester is kicking my ass so I’m too tired for it all anyway. Just up from a nap 😴

We have a scan on the 23rd though so if everything is fine that’s my Christmas more than made and we can tell MIL on Christmas Day 🥰 so I’m not that much of a grinch, honest 🤣

@nestinginNL nope he's got some growing to do yet, we think, as he's a cross breed we aren't sure! Haha cute harness though lovely!

@franklydear thanks honey, how you doing?

@newbie0818 you're lucky getting tested at school, DH hasn't been offered anything and we are in Tier 3...hope you get to dubai though how amazing!

@Kirky658 I am better thanks, it's DH birthday tomorrow, so I chance to celebrate and not dwale, and already dtding again, upwards and onwards, right?

Whoop whoop @Catherinettc 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜lucky lucky wee man And what a gorgeous wee set up 😂😍🥰🙌🏻

@Franklydear oh yes I love to look at our camera in X's room when he's asleep he looks soooo cherubic 😂

@Newbie0818 just the right level of little shite & angel is great. X is an ABSOLUTE angel for everyone else, he uses up ALL goodness. Cant keep it up at all & we are sooo boring cos he's with us more, that's what we tell ourselves! Soooo hoping you get to Dubai to see ppl and oh god that would be amazing!

@NestinginNL hey you feeling rough then?! Not good but it's reassuring I think.

Obligatory tree. Dunno how long it will last. It has to look good from 2 sides as it's perched on dog crate in between open plan kitchen/sitting room 😂so 2 sides seen double the pain but it's up, and for now has decorations still intact. 🤞🏻oh shit no topper on though. Need DH to be home to put topper on though. I can't reach 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 had a lush day thanks 😊 nice tree 🌲
@Franklydear nice gloves, well done 👍🏾
@Sausage1990 yeah it's been really lovely thanks. Throughly enjoyed my baby cuddles!
@InkyPaper thank you! Hope so too, the wait is slowly killing me 😬
@Kirky658 omg your dog is just the cutest! I want one so badly but just not practical in a one bed flat. Did you all enjoy the park?
@Catherinettc congrats on the boy! 🥳
@NestinginNL good luck for the 23rd!!

@Catherinettc a little boy. What wonderful news x

Hi guys. Totally out of the loop, trying to do a catch up. @franklydear did u have a mis 😢?
What all have I missed. Got my period 2 wks ago and hormones went crazy. Very emotional few days. Should be nearly 5mths now 💔 hard not to dwell about it. Strangely I'll he due af around Christmas, a day or 2 b4. Dtd every 2 days at least this month. I'm dreaming of a bfp on xmas day. Be the best present I'd get.
Dreading the shitty emotional days if af does arrive.
Keeping myself busy. Doing our bedroom up. Fab new bed, paint, paper, sliderobe, lockers, tv up.on wall. Just need White drawers. Poor DH took fri off work to use his days and worked harder than he would have at work lol

Thanks guys ❤❤

@NestinginNL no real gender reveal unfortunately. We are originally from Scotland and live in Northern Ireland now so with restrictions etc it was too hard. Did some video call reveals tho and everyone over the moon.

@Minster2012 love ur wee tree 🌲 give yourself a wee pat on the back 🤣🤣🤣❤❤ xx

@2alreadywantanother yes, had a bleed last week, and then a negative test, then ended up in hospital in the weekend and confirmed, no longer pregnant. But I am starting to feel better about it, it wasn't meant to be

@franklydear Ah hun I'm so sorry 😢 heartbroken for u. Here if u need a chat or wanan pm me. Its shit isnt it. I'm losing hope now and thinking it's just not gona happen now. Be kind to urself xx

@Kirky658 oh we're not getting tested at school, paying £95 each to have it done privately because we don't want to risk anyone getting sick. Bloody ridiculous.

@Minster2012 beautiful tree 🎄
