Here I go again...TTC Bus 45 - blood sucking dungeons, whitesnake and angry cervixes all welcome...

[larrythelizard]

Your service has been interrupted as your normal bus driver has connectivity issues. Just as well there's a driver out there who's done the route as cover before...! As ever, apologies if I've got any of it wrong!

Here is the bus where anything goes, and chat isn’t just TTC it’s anything. Ranting very much encouraged to her things off your (are they sore boobs?!) chest. The last bus had loads of work promotions too & we’ve still got interviews so hopefully it’s a lucky bus in more ways than just making babies.

We are here to help and support each other & anything goes. We’ve had losses, heartache & some super fertile short ride passengers so welcome all.

The price of your bus pass is an embarrassing story please, doesn’t have to go be TTC related but can you beat breaking a guy’s banjo in a BJ or whilst DTD?! 🤞🏻🙌🏻

And if you see mention of minster's blog then blame the ladies on the thread but @minster2012 needs to carry on with it it, I’ve been lazy! #shamelessplug

SPENT AGES. Ffs. Spent ages on his Willy.

@Minster2012 love the scarecrows! 🤣
Yes 🐎 day and test day! Then my pain is at least over.

@minster2012 so glad I'd read the earlier posts before seeing 'I spent ages on his willy' 🤣🤣

@vil10 those pics were amazing, showed my DH and he was well jealous. Glad you both got to have some you time and time to chill.

Washed all baby clothes and bedding today...woah it's getting real now haha! Although being pregnant in this heat is no fun. Just found out if you put a hot water bottle in the freezer it's the best thing ever though, who knew?!

@Minster2012 I think you need to start referring to it as your field/land/acreage as opposed to just a garden-love it. Right everyone let's all head to Minster's for a Mumsnet camp/festival 😂😂

@Sunbird24 great to see the 3+ for you😍

@becarefuloutthere maybe leave the badge on when it's time to spill the beans at work for a super casual reveal!!

@bez91 congratulations on the job offer 🎉

@DKDK123 sorry it seems that you're out this month, and 2 years is a hard pill to swallow. I was ttc 18months pretty much and I felt like in that time every man and his dog seemed to be falling pregnant. This bus is defo a big help. Sending understanding of how shit and unfair it all feels.

@Ltay2 4 months already!! He's beaut though-what a happy chappie 😍

@Vil10 wow what a pic and a place to enjoy the sunset. Sorry you're surrounded by fertile fuckers. And yess for Love Island...anyone else a fan??

OMG @Minster2012 those scarecrows are epic!! You are so creative...especially giving it such a detailed willy 😂😂😂 surely they need to be a permanent fixture in your area-proper tourist attraction if there are lots of them!

Gotta say I'm loving this weather, we managed to buy the big arse special buy 12ft paddling pool from Aldi last week so have been spending hours each day pretending I'm on holiday-it's bloody dreamy!! Xx

The paddling pool of dreams...

@Clairey844 that pool looks so inviting x

@Minster2012 those picture cracked me up

Other news apparently today's proov test was positive no second line whats so ever I'm so chuffed really thought I was totally out of the game. Only 4 days till pregnancy test. Putting the car in for a service and Airton regas tomorrow a bit ouch on the purse strings 😳

@clairey844 never has a paddling pool looked so inviting!!!!

UNPOPULAR OPINION I'm sure but I can't wait to get some cooler weather this weekend!

@Ltay2 he's looking so adorable bless him🥰

@paintfairy yeah about that... not sure it's as exciting as it sounds 😳🤣

@Minster2012 omg j absolutely love your scarecrows! You're amazing at stuff like this🤣

@Clairey844 omg so jealous of your paddling pool. I am dying in this heat whilst still working😩 not popped yet?😉

@lucyrp no, not popped yet 😬 5 days until my official due date. Can imagine work is hideous 🥵🥵, thankfully summer holidays here!!

Honestly the pool has been a god send. Especially as they're talking about another 2 week heat wave at the start of August.
X

@Clairey844 have you started doing anything to try and get them to come?? I started my tea this week and since they told me the size of them yesterday I might up how many cups I'm having although I have my last minute hair appointment next Thursday which I'd like to make 🤣 I finish work next Saturday so I still have 8 days left 🥵 my feet are swelling terrible in my work shoes and from being on my feet all day x

@Minster2012 that scarecrow! For the garden name I suggest ‘la finca’ it’s what we call the land on the country house
@Vil10 I get you but at least you have your mum, mine knows about the struggles, not the losses but last year she send me a parcel in a pretty box, a newborn baby boy box!
@DKDK123 we can through a pity party together this month, let’s hope august is better
@Clairey844
oh my, what a pool!
@Kirky658 me too, about 20-22, where’s the thermostat ?
@lucyrp they have to allow you to wear whatever shoes you like and don’t be in your feet all day, throw a tantrum woman, blame it on the hormones
Nothing much to report this morning, cm not cooperating this month so I am totally in the dark

@Clairey844 that is a paddling pool of dreams!! You have a swimming pool & I have grounds then 🤣

@Mumlili9 that's great!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻for test day So was the other one wrong or on a wrong time/day?

@paintfairy good luck this morning!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@blackcurrantqueen thinking of you later 😘

@Kirky658 id like some cooler weather too

@paintfairy it was so lovely! Sorry for the drop, it's always shit when you see that x

@Minster2012 your scare crows are killing me, and his Willy😂😂

@Kirky658 it's definitely something we should try and do at least once a week when the weathers nice, it was so calm and relaxing!! Ahhh it's all getting real, how exciting!!

@Clairey844 I suppose it's just my luck isn't it, everyone around me fertile😂 you know what, I haven't seen the last 3 nights but I jusr feel like this years it shit compared to others!! Jealous of the paddling pool!! Hope you're well x

@Franklydear oh bloody hell, sometimes they just don't think do they!!

BFN. As predicted. Not sure why I bothered wasting a test!

@Vil10 that pic looks so peaceful 😍 Glad you and OH managed to get out and relax for a bit of headspace.

Loving the scarecrows @Minster2012 😂

Aww baby clothes all washed and ready, shits getting real now @Kirky658! You'll be holding your wee bundle before you know it.

@Clairey844 that paddling pool looks epic! Definitely inviting in this hot weather 🌞 Can't believe how close you are to baby arriving, very exciting!!

Sending big squishy hugs @paintfairy, come sulk on the top of the bus with me and a bottle of wine, who cares if it's morning time we're not driving the bus so we can have a champagne breakfast 😘

DS came bounding into my bedroom this morning "Mummy can we make a slide for the roof today?" Half asleep and very confused I asked what for "For my baby brother when the stork brings him!" 😭😭😭 I forgot the other day he watched a film on Netflix called storks and it was about a boy who wants a brother and his mum and dad tell him they can't have one so he writes to the storks (who no longer deliver babies) and builds a big landing pad on his roof to show the stork where to go and then a slide for his baby brother to slide down.....of course being a kids film it all ends happily ever after with stork delivering baby so now DS thinks that it's OK my tummy broken as he can just ask the stork for his baby brother instead🤦‍♀️ He had forgotten all about the film till this morning but is now annoyed at me that we aren't building a slide coming from our roof for the bloody stork! He had accepted that my tummy was broken so stopped badgering me every day for a brother or sister but how the hell do I get around this new idea he has in his head as now I'm the bad guy stopping him from having a brother because I won't help him build a roof slide 😫🤷‍♀️

@dkdk123 omg that is so cute but also so sad in the same way 😩❤️ maybe tell him that the stork needs to fix mummy's tummy first? X

@Minster2012 love your scarecrows 🍆😂

Gorgeous photo @Vil10 don't have you on insta, looks super chilled!

@paintfairy shitty BFN 😩 sorry darl, it's never too early for alcohol especially when it's sunny 💕

Oh your DS 😭 that broke my heart a little 💔 not easy to deal with. I feel like I need to watch that film! Luckily the novelty seems to have worn off my DD for a sibling

@paintfairy I see your stark, and I raise you to an I would like to have a brother so I wouldn’t have to be alone😢 he’s 11 so I don’t think he’ll give up now

@Franklydear yeah, I suppose if we eventually had one then I'd have that problem too! Maybe it is best it just stays the way it is!
@DKDK123 @bez91 I've got to drive but I've got plenty of alcohol with me for staying away the next few days! 🍸🤣

I'm glad it's not set to stay this hot the whole time. Its unbearable. Haven't slept for a week.

@paintfairy oh my, sorry darling, I meant to tag @DKDK123 with her ds stark roof, I know I can’t complain, I have a lovely boy becoming a lovely young man, but I do want to give him that brother, so he can fight him, and argue with him, and wish he was an only child😂

@Franklydear yeah the grass is never greener. You want a brother until you get one. I always hated mine. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 To be fair we get on now we are older.

@Minster2012 I've no idea but it's positive now so I'm relieved 😌.
@DKDK123 wish I had some advice on this one. Im sure he'll understand eventually but in the mean time sending you supporting thoughts.

Took the car for a service, mot, air con regas and map up date, they then call to tell me I need two new tyres, my spare has perished and I need a wiper blade . So nearly £900 later im sitting in my living room infront of the fan thinking I need chocolate but im on this blooming diet so an apple will have to do

I also saw it on @Vil10, pretty dreamy!

Ah fuck @paintfairy

Haha love the scarecrows @Minster2012! I have massive boobs so very aware of underboob sweat!!

Wow @Clairey844 im coming round to yours!!

Oh yay @Mumlili9 really pleased to hear that! Maybe later than you thought?

Hmm ok you can have it cooler this weekend @Kirky658 as long as we're 25c+ for my gardening leave (assumes it gets confirmed!)

With you in spirit @blackcurrantqueen x

@DKDK123 your DS can have my brother if he likes, he is a knob though 🤷🏻‍♀️

@paintfairy I'm sorry :( are you around to try that final IUI next cycle?

@DKDK123 maybe tell him storks only come to mummies without broken tummies? So tough to have to listen to though, I'm sorry :(

@Mumlili9 £900 is POO! I hate how with mechanics you never know if they're even telling you the truth either 😅. Did you stick with the apple? Cause if so well done!

Hi all, I’m still silently reading and wishing you all lots of luck this cycle. I haven’t been around much because I was lucky enough to catch covid. Today is the first day I haven’t felt like that. Sod’s law they cancelled my jab the day before I started feeling sick.
