TTC BUS 26 - Stifling chilli foofs with paprika pants & telling Flo 🧙🏻‍♀️she ain’t in our support bubble

Flo app telling you AF is due?? Femometer telling you ovulation was a different day? Is that line a high /low/peak or a pube on your OPK?
When TTC feels like a proper TWATFACE, we’ve got each other’s backs. We’ve had trolling TTC charts, f**k boy bodies and a few of us are giving up and handing our bodies to the fertility doctors instead. Maybe they can do a better job eh?

We are TTC in often weird and wonderful ways and that’s the way we like it...long as we are there for each other, be it DTD, SMEP, syringe, IVF we don’t care 🥰

Don’t forget...
⁃ BORIS CAN’T PENETRATE OUR SUPPORT BUBBLE (urgh there’s a nasty image)
⁃ Pets, toys & accessories invited too, Rampant Rabbits 🐰, Fleshlights & dice
⁃ NOTHING IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION
⁃ We are all about the support

Story so far...

June 24 BFPs
July 11 BFPs
August 18 BFPs
Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs
Nov 7 BFPs

10 BFPs in Dec so far ....
Another sneaky @laceymermaid in at the end!

still time for Christmas BFPs and for @Minster2012 to get thrown off Mumsnet 🤪

@Franklydear that made me giggle 😂 glad to hear you only kill sims

@Minster2012 I didn’t know that was a thing either? Don’t you just give dogs the tablets for worms? But glad to hear my tamagotchi skills do not define my ability to be a mum 🙈

Minster2012 · 22/12/2020 20:32

Oooooo I d just had such a giggle at @Franklydear's autocorrect that's brilliant. Am sending NSPCC around to your house STAT. Also @AHobbyaweek is that a thing??? You got given a tamagotchi at the end of NCT??? Like that actually fucking prepared you?? Jesssuuuussss, bloody don't give it it to @paintfairy's mum. It's all coming out now isn't it. @paintfairy if you get pregnant (would it be your first?) PLEASE can you "announce it" to your mum by giving her a card somehow saying "don't let this one die on a beach whilst I'm out riding?" Or is that not the done thing?

@Vil10 you know the rules. Pics please 😜❤️

Yep a fake thing to look after in case we were unprepared. We also did a role play about going to a coffee shop with a baby...

LaceyMermaid · 22/12/2020 20:44

@Minster2012 love the hair! Also only wash my hair once a week, dry shampoo is my friend.
Oh yes kids can give you worms, ring worm, impetigo, slap cheek... the list goes on and in 15 years teaching ive had quite a few! 🤣
@Franklydear 🤣 glad you clarified that
@AHobbyaweek god glad I never went to classes sounds quite cringe!
All shopping down here, not nice hair or nails as tier 4 so very jealous! My roots need doing badly I was supposed to have them done yesterday but Boris ruined that!

Katao · 22/12/2020 21:04

@Franklydear I was seriously starting to worry you might be a psychopath 😂😂😂 hilarious

Minster2012 · 22/12/2020 21:14

@LaceyMermaid I don't even use dry shampoo!! I'm more of a minger 🤣😂least the colour will distract it now! And on the worms the chemist said your whole household needs to be done...is there a chance you could be pregnant?" I said "chance would be a fine thing..,oops sorry, I mean no, do I need to give the dogs an extra worming dose too?" She looked at me gone out like that was a genuine silly question?? She said whole household and how do I know?? I'm still learning f sake! Bloody Boris, that's why I did my nails today, just in case.

@AHobbyaweek wow you must be over prepared then😂. What did you learn about going to a coffee shop with your baby??? Bloody hell no wonder NCT is so expensive they teach you "real life stuff like that" antenatal we just got lectures on why formula feeding was the work of the devil vs breast feeding & how us, purely formula feeding (cos of surrogacy of course I wasn't feeding) & the 2 lesbian couples in the group who wanted the combo feed's baby's brains were going to develop at a slower rate than their breast fed contemporaries. Needless to say that's turned out completely true for my boy & his "girlfriend" (one of the couple's daughter) 🥱🙄🤔

@Minster2012 your hair and nails 😍😍😍

paintfairy · 22/12/2020 21:23

@AHobbyaweek that sounds bizarre! 🤣 I've never been given such experiences.

@Minster2012 yes it would be my first baby. 🤣 Bless her, she means well! She was annoyed it happened as she'd done well until then. 😆

I like dry shampoo. Definitely helps in a crisis!

LaceyMermaid · 22/12/2020 21:34

@Minster2012 no idea about the dogs sorry 🤣 but yes while family has to have it. God no dry shampoo that’s hardcore, I’d look terrible!

InkyPaper · 22/12/2020 22:09

@amy2503 ahh I see :(

@Paintfairy ahaha mine grows pretty fast, I look like a hobo most of the time these days 😂 I've been debating whether or not to dye my hair, starting to get a lot more grey hairs (possibly white hairs 😂). Aww your poor tamagotchi!!

@Minster2012 haha yeah my mum's the best 😄 I'm debating whether or not to test Christmas Eve maybe. I don't drink much at all but I do like a Bailey's at Christmas 😄 I can only imagine what the queues are like right now, it was bad enough yesterday! I got enough food to last us two weeks so hopefully I won't have to go near a supermarket for a while.

@Vil10 that's awesome! Was it easy to put together?

Minster2012 · 22/12/2020 22:20

@LaceyMermaid a quick dr google search says dog worms (they routinely have worming tablets whereas we don't 🤔) suggests they aren't included in "whole household" 😂🙈so learning done for today! One dog walk later & my hair already looks far less fabulous 🙄

@InkyPaper Christmas Eve testing, sounds good! Have a baileys tomorrow instead 🙌🏻

@paintfairy I suddenly feel the need to find a tamagotchi. If you get a BFP I'm def finding one to send to you as a present to send your mum AND for you to practice. 👾

adds killing tamagotchis & sims to new bus title list

Was going to put & not calling NSPCC but that would DEF get me reported much more than baby pussies 😹

Right, sex done for me for the night (you didn't even notice me gone! Stealthy)
Signing off
Night ladies!

@Minster2012 love your hair and nails.
I got mine done today went for ash/silver quite like it, I'm usually a platinum blonde.

The shops were mental today. Got everything we need though..
Working tomorrow and Thursday then off Friday.

Hope you all have a good Xmas xx

Skip86 · 22/12/2020 22:49

Hellooooo bitchezzzz!
Sorry, have been away for a few days with my little fam after 6 months of spending literally no time together - it's so bloody lovely just to chill and not work 🙌🏼
I'm trying to catch up but am only up to Monday so far. Will keep reading later today!

Do want to say though, I am so so sorry to everyone who is effected by more lockdowns and restrictions and everything else going on at the moment. It absolutely sucks. But it too shall pass, I promise xx

Would love to tell you all about our getaway, but also very aware it might rub salt into the wound of those who are feeling isolated and down.. or is it uplifting to hear stories from the other side of the globe? Up to you! 💗

Franklydear · 22/12/2020 22:56

@Skip86 I vote uplifting

BlondePotter · 22/12/2020 23:08

@Skip86 I vote for uplifting!
It's getting very depressing and morbid over here 😔

AHobbyaweek · 22/12/2020 23:11

In the role play they passed around a baby dressed in a lot of layers and the idea what that you learnt to take off the big coat etc when you go in the coffee shop and you packed nappies ready for changing. It was bizarre. And there was lots of men go off in that group and bond while the women learn about how labour would be. There was LOADS on breastfeeding and one " if you do formula feed then sterilise everything" mention that was it.

I am also one to kill off all my sims. Tempted to have another play in the Christmas holidays...

Franklydear · 22/12/2020 23:20

@AHobbyaweek I don’t kill them per se, I build houses without a bed, or without a toilet, or no fridge.... and see them lose their minds

@Minster2012 that’ll get us thrown out of here, 🙈

I managed to get a hair cut appointment for ds tomorrow, he had the last one in July, I sort of trim the fringe and the sides, but this is the limit of my abilities, I should be sleeping really, had a headache all day, af still here, longer and heavier than usual.... I calculated what fw should be and luckily we are both on holiday

AHobbyaweek · 22/12/2020 23:20

@Franklydear sure don't "kill them" 😛

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/12/2020 23:33

@Katao just coming on to say thank you for that thread, cheered me up no end!! 😁

Vil10 · 23/12/2020 01:10

@Minster2012 sorry it's late I've only just got into bed but posting a pic now!!

@InkyPaper yeah it wasn't too hard, it was mainly a bit faffy and more like the time and effort more than anything😂

@Skip86 I want to hear uplifting stories!!

Minster2012 · 23/12/2020 07:22
