TWINS?! Oh f**k! 😱 avoiding those 🧀🍆& banging in camper vans; it’s TTC bus 42

So ladies. You thought you got rid of me eh? Like the omnipresent flashing smiley face on the joker clear blue sticks you can’t get past I’m BACK! 🤡😄

The agency driver did the most amazing job I tried to offer a permanent job but apparently temping is much more lucrative & she’s got a gig elsewhere much better paid than driving you reprobates so you a stuck with me I’m afraid, like that rash you’ve been meaning to go to the doctors about or a guy with a cheesey dick you really need to have a conversation with but can’t bring yourself too 🤪�hthank you so much @larrythelizard

We’ve reserved a bench seat each for our newest 2 sets of bus twins, but don’t worry there’s still room for more!

So get those cheese dicks 🧀🍆washed & prepped, park up the camper van, ditch the whey powder & join the team for the banging game!

The price of your bus pass is an embarrassing story please, doesn’t have to go be TTC related and nothing is TMI here so let’s hope the ride (bus not banging) doesn’t take long 🤞🏻🙌🏻

This is where dogs, dicks & chat go hand in hand as we navigate the stormy seas of TTC.

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@larrythelizard 🤣🤣 yeah that would have been good. Just got to get through June and as long as the Mr has recovered and all good for July we can restart 🤞🤞

Minster2012 · 03/06/2021 21:48

@KiwiTTC1st ah that's good then, roll on July, it'll go quick, well to everyone else other than those in TWW or in the annoying bit "after AF waiting for FW!"

@feliznavidad2 can't believe he turned you down! Thought pregnant women were glowing n all that 🤣, maybe if you'd have played him Christmas tunes that would have helped!

@larrythelizard yeah my fella scarpers when shit needs doing too! 🤣so watching the videos counts as exercise right? Hope the trip kick starts that FW

@Franklydear I really really want there to be an update thread 🤣

@Minster2012 I'll try for next time... 🎶

Looks amazing @Kirky658 🤩

What beautiful pups! @Vil10

Minster2012 · 03/06/2021 22:23

Thanks @Minster2012 🥰

@larrythelizard definitely good!! Super relieved (well, less relieved about the other dodgy hormones but one problem at a time 😂)

@feliznavidad2 welcome! That was a great story, bless ya 😂

Franklydear · 03/06/2021 23:46

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4261508-To-think-if-he-gets-every-Saturday-to-himself-I-should-get-one-Sunday-a-month I don’t think this apply to any of us, but if this is you, you got sisters, you know.

Somatronic · 03/06/2021 23:50

@feliznavidad2 great story! Haha. I'm thinking of your poor partner sitting there looking at you. I've done mad things under sedation too Confused

@Crazydoglady123 I never tried preseed. Do you think it helps in the absence of EWCM? I just assumed it was for...you know...a smooth entry? Sorry I'm awkward as arse.

My boss gave me a few days off next week! Yipee! She also shelved a project I've been working on since April and didn't bother to tell me.

Franklydear · 04/06/2021 00:31

I can’t get o sleep so I decided to stop torturing myself an come in here for a while

bez91 · 04/06/2021 06:17

That thread @Minster2012 😆 my IL tales aren't funny, she's a psycho. My MIL used to ring DH when she knew she was interrupting us to cry or seek attention i.e every stroke of midnight on NYE so she could "see the new year in" with DH, everytime he said we were doing something at X time she would ring, I found out that DH was going to pop the question from her. Quite the narcissist 🤦🏼‍♀️

@feliznavidad2 welcome!

@Franklydear hope you got some sleep lovely 💕

larrythelizard · 04/06/2021 06:25

Oh god @bez91 does your DH realise?! You must be a saint!

Hope you got some sleep @Franklydear

Minster2012 · 04/06/2021 08:04

Oh god

@bez91 you are better than I am!

Hope everyone else is feeling ok, Friday!

@Sezzy25 how you getting on?

Minster2012 · 04/06/2021 08:29

@Somatronic I use preseed, it's really nice lube but you put it inside you with an applicator (think like a tampon applicator) and it's meant to do the same job as ewcm Allow the right environment for sperm to swim through si if you don't get much ewcm it might be worth it

bez91 · 04/06/2021 08:38

@larrythelizard he does now, I didn't tell him at the time he'd have been heartbroken. She still has 'episodes' but she isn't as bad as she used to be since DD was born and she realised her precious son had settled 40 miles away and wasn't coming back 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 I saw that yesterday 😳 I don't know how I feel about that. Surely they are paying the surrogates directly as a clinic wouldn't allow that I'm sure? Bizarre

Vil10 · 04/06/2021 08:48

@Franklydear I'm so tempted!! We've put some chocolate, sweets and crisps in our Tesco order for delivery today😂

@2020mission you're all going to get bored of me sending them soon!! We're allowed out next Friday, so a week to go!

@Kirky658 looks gorgeous!! Have a lovely weekend away!!

@bez91 I maybe bias but he is!! I just keep thinking they're going to look exactly like my dog!! We're allowed out next Friday, so we're not even half way through yet, it's bloody dragging!!

@InkyPaper we both still feel okay but we lost our sense of taste and smell yesterday, it was so weird!! I was cutting onions for tea and we couldn't smell them, then I made a spicy Cajun pasta thing with loads of spices and neither of us could taste it! Well we've put loads of junk in our Tesco order so I caved hahaha! Great news on the results and your first appointment!!

@KiwiTTC1st Sorry about your bfn and af!!

@feliznavidad2 welcome!! Brilliant story😂

Minster2012 · 04/06/2021 08:49

Awww bless your DH @bez91, yeah it seems like they are private surrogates (to be honest I was shocked as that's cheap 😱) same as in the uk most are private you pay directly they mention the clinic being supportive I guess they mean for the ivf side. Can you imagine how many embryos did they have??? There was a story about them in feb this year when they had 10 at that point so 10 more since feb 🤨wtaf

Fridaaaaay. 🎉

Franklydear · 04/06/2021 09:16

Morning all, managed to sleep since about 3 but quite rested all the same, we have rain here so maybe not the beach today
I am off to read that thread @Minster2012 I am intrigued, the ils one is funny, but more things my mum would do, and my fil, mil is quite lovely

Franklydear · 04/06/2021 09:21

Wtf!? £8000 for pregnancy, does that count as modern slavery? What a nice couple?

Haiyaa · 04/06/2021 10:16

@Franklydear I think if that was my DH he’d be out on his arse, having the kids every other weekend and paying me maintenance! Got to be better than what she has currently - she is basically his housekeeper!

Great story @feliznavidad2! If it makes you feel any better I’m sure you weren’t the first and you won’t be the last 🤣🤣🤣

Sorry about af @KiwiTTC1st. Are you from New Zealand by any chance?

@Kirky658 that looks amazing! So jealous! Have a fabulous time 😃

Going to check out that thread @Minster2012 but I have a feeling I won’t like it! I understand when you are unable to do it on your own and want to have a family but 100 kids is basically a farm!

notyetamumbuttrying · 04/06/2021 10:33

@Minster2012 just read that 20 babies article, wow 😯 good job their millionaires!!
@Franklydear I was shocked at that too. Surely they should get triple that amount?!

Franklydear · 04/06/2021 10:39

@notyetamumbuttrying considering this is a commercial transaction and not helping your dearest friend to have a miracle baby, doesn’t look like much money at all

notyetamumbuttrying · 04/06/2021 10:41

@Franklydear not at all!! It's not like they can't afford to pay them more either! It's even more shocking as the mum is quite young. So odd wanting all those babies at such a young age. I think money makes ppl do bizarre things!

paintfairy · 04/06/2021 11:05

@feliznavidad2 🤣 I thought you were going to say in the cold light of day he was not good looking at all. So it could have been worse. 😆
@InkyPaper excellent news. Well, kind of. At least things are being sorted and moving forwards.
@Vil10 pup is gorgeous. I agree puppy prices have gone crackers though. I mean, at least these are a breed. But the people breeding any old crap for thousands of pounds and just for money (not the love of dogs) is ludicrous. That's why we got a rescue. Couldn't afford an actual dog. They are more than I paid for my (not cheap, well bred) horse! But why just one poor doggy is left, makes no sense. He's lovely.

Haiyaa · 04/06/2021 12:05

[quote Franklydear]@notyetamumbuttrying considering this is a commercial transaction and not helping your dearest friend to have a miracle baby, doesn’t look like much money at all[/quote]
Exactly! And it’s not just the surrogates that are being underpaid... £500/month for the live in nannies!

Franklydear · 04/06/2021 12:19

@Haiyaa damm! I didn’t even calculate that...
