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

Oh no @Katiekattty have you been really poorly?

OP posts:
Franklydear · 22/07/2021 14:36

Oh no @Katiekattty, hope you feel better soon
A little warning, don't watch virgin river if you are feeling a bit wobbly, I've been crying since this morning,

Franklydear · 22/07/2021 14:36

And I have things I should be doing

Dollybird89 · 22/07/2021 14:44

@franklydear I watched season 3 in a day 🙈 luckily was able to do it while oh was doing axework. Now I've started on Poldark ☺️ what's this gardening leave I hear talks about? Am I missing a trick?

kaylsd · 22/07/2021 14:45

@Minster2012 I think my clothes do the same but I don't buy particularly expensive clothes either that or I'm gaining weight 😶🤣 how good are your scarecrows! Where I live there’s a scarecrow competition however I’m not that creative ideas to compete but I do appreciate laughing at the good ones 🤣

@Ltay2 how cute is your little one 🥺🥺🥺 he’s beautiful xxxx

@Juno231 ordered two pairs, thank you so much for the heads up with these game changers you’ve saved my thighs from further damage of chubrub they are forever grateful 🤣🤣🤣

@Vil10 your date night in the back of the car looks absolutely perfect I’m actually swaying hub to do something similar with me because that’s my ideal evening spent ❤️🥺 glad you managed to have a chat with him about how your feeling about things so he can understand and be there for you xx

@DKDK123 that’s so cute but so sad about your son saying that I can only imagine how hard it was for you hear and discuss about, I’m rubbish for advice on this one god damn you stork film!

@Mumlili9 I hate it when MOT and service soon comes round it comes round faster than what Christmas does, I never know if they are trurthfuk in what they recommend to be changed but I just pay it regardless of the ouch in my bank account after!

@Katiekattty sending hugs, covid is the worse I Had it last November and it was horrible and my smell is still not 100 percent now 🙃 xx

Literally sweating in places I didn’t think was possible today in the garden reading a book with the fur baby keeping me company no matter how many times I tell her to sit in the shade, but she’s choosing to give me company which it’s abit cute :’)

Katiekattty · 22/07/2021 14:52

@larrythelizard I’ve never felt so sick in my life. At one point I had call DH to help me because I went for a drink but I was so faint and weak I couldn’t make it back to bed. I’m nearly back to pre BFP weight.

@Franklydear I’ll leave that till I’m feeling better then.
@kaylsd I can’t smell or taste anything which is lucky we’ve bought been too ill to change the cat litter box 🤣🤣.

Franklydear · 22/07/2021 15:40

@Dollybird89 I just finished it, I can't believe the ending, they better have another season, that's crap

bez91 · 22/07/2021 16:41

Catching up later ladies but wanted to share my horror at work today...
I went into a bedroom to do an inspection (not one I've been to before). Walked in and there was a woman in bed, curtains drawn so quite dark. So I was awkwardly about to initiate small talk when the client came in and told me he was putting a towel over her head to stop her melting 🙈 only then did I realise it was a silicon doll 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣. Anyway I finished what I was doing, went out and said to support staff I wished you’d have told me about the surprise in the bedroom I almost said hello to her. Then they went on to say yes it looks real it should do for £2k 😳😂 dirty bastard.

larrythelizard · 22/07/2021 16:46

Oh goodness @Katiekattty I'm pleased you're on the mend.

😂😂😂 @bez91 wtaf?! How on earth do you keep a straight face about that?!

OP posts:
DKDK123 · 22/07/2021 17:12

Thanks ladies, I just did what works best with a 3 year old to change the subject........do you want to go for a walk to the shop to get a sweet? 🙈😂 It was actually a nice wee movie if anyone has netflix, I just wasn't expecting DS to get grand ideas from it, if only it were that easy then again I've never tried writing to the storks before, maybe it is that easy and we've all been doing it wrong 😂

@Franklydear they definitely know how to tug at the heart strings don't they! 😢

@mumlili9 ouch with the car bill, well done if you stuck with the apple tho, a bill that size would definitely have driven me to choc!

Sorry to hear you caught covid @katiekatty glad to hear you're slowly on the mend. My dad and brother caught it in January and are still not 100%, my brother is ok enough to be back at work but his something (white blood count maybe, I cnat remember?) is low so he keeps getting sent for test. My Dad has quite bad long covid tho and still struggles to walk any more than 5mins without tiring. It's such a horrible illness I hope you're one of the ones that get a quick and full recovery 🤒

@kaylsd what a gorgeous pooch 😍

@bez91 your day at work was interesting indeed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Juno231 · 22/07/2021 18:35

@bez91 wtaf?? What kind of people do you see that have 2k sex dolls??

@kaylsd woop - they'll be such a relief! Otherwise I chafe so bad my thighs welt and bleed

@Dollybird89 OH loved poldark - since we've been in Scotland we've started on Outlander though - yum!

Visiting FIL in Lincs now, drove down from (the original) Perth today. Knackered and sweaty and all my clothes need a wash but still have a wedding to go to this weekend before we can head back to London on Sunday!

Dollybird89 · 22/07/2021 18:55

@juno231 ooo I may have to start that after Poldark ☺️ .. I suffered terrible from chaffing until I found snag tights .. they make all sorts of funky tights and also make chubrub shorts.. they are like tights but made into shorts ... I never have chaffing when wearing them

paintfairy · 22/07/2021 19:13

@Juno231 technically yes. But it hinges on them fitting me in and also when AF arrives as its due Friday. So it kind of falls wrong as usually they call you the next day. We shall see!

Minster2012 · 22/07/2021 19:16

Hey ladies, been a full on day here & all I can say is wtf does @bez91 do and like @Juno231 says what kind of ppl is she visiting?! Is the new job going to take you to similar depths of depravity??

@Dollybird89 gardening leave is after you've resigned & you are told to go home for your notice period so not work but still getting paid for that time. Often it's used for when ppl move to competitor firms & when realising they are leaving their company don't want them to have access to their company information anymore. The dream. I was fortunate enough to be put on gardening leave when I had a notice of 6 months.

@Mumlili9 if you only ate the 🍎🍏you are a saint after a bill like that

Minster2012 · 22/07/2021 19:17

@paintfairy so sorry on the bfn, truly stinks
How's horse club??

Franklydear · 22/07/2021 19:41

KFC and tiramisu to improve my day, sorting out play dates with the friends in year 5, so ds doesn’t lose them, parents of neuritypicals are scary, I already have a firm date next week and a multiple children pencilled in🤯 for another, I only sent a tentative my child would like to stay in touch with yours, received an ok, come for dinner response😵

Franklydear · 22/07/2021 19:44

@paintfairy hopefully the universe will align for you
@Juno231 sounds fantastic, never mind the clothes, have fun and go with the flow

bez91 · 22/07/2021 21:14

Argggh @Mumlili9 £900? Painful, hope that's it for a very long time! I think I'd have needed a very large bar of chocolate and alcohol.

Sorry to hear that @Katiekattty hope you're feeling on top form again soon sounds like you were really rough 💕

@paintfairy argggh hope AF falls ok in that case for you and holds off over the weekend🤞🏼

@Juno231 sounds like your doing an epic tour of the UK, fantastic hope the break is doing you good and you're on a complete chill from work !

I have to keep a straight face @larrythelizard 😆 @Juno231 @Minster2012 I survey ‘care’ premises so it ranges from learning difficulties to dementia, ex offenders, homelessness, substance users, refuges, trafficking victims and everything in between. There are some unsavoury characters 😂

blackcurrantqueen · 22/07/2021 21:19

Hey girlies

Just popping in to say I had my 12 week scan today and all is still looking good. I am actually measuring a bit further along too so actually 13+1. I'm finally starting to feel like I can breathe a little and perhaps believe that next year this baby will be here. I can't thank you all enough for all your support. Sorry I'm a bit distant these days but between a toddler that hates sleep and work I am literally spending most my free time in bed 😂

@paintfairy gutted for you my love 😢

@bez91 oh my god that is hilarious 😂😂😂

@Franklydear mmmm kfc

@DKDK123 gentle hug in your direction, kids say the hardest things sometimes don't they xxx

blackcurrantqueen · 22/07/2021 21:20

PS I'm a lurker I still read everything every night. Just can't summon the energy to type 😂

Minster2012 · 22/07/2021 21:34

@blackcurrantqueen 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘 rainbow baby! 🌈🌈🌈yeyyy

@bez91 all I can say is DON'T TOUCH IT. Or anything you find in other places then. 🤔

@DKDK123 I waste hes that film myself previously. No child watching with me & I was an emotional wreck 😫🙈

Franklydear · 22/07/2021 21:41

@blackcurrantqueen lovely to hear great news, just type a hi every now and again
I am ok again, it actually did me good, what a estrange thing crying is, tomorrow is the last day of primary school, un/fortunately it falls on dh to deal with the last pick up and the inevitable tears, I have to work, next week it’ll be me doing the whole take and pick up from summer school so he can’t complain

Kirky658 · 22/07/2021 22:06

@blackcurrantqueen amazing news ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍

@katiekattty hope you get better soon!

@larrythelizard looks like another heatwave on the way start of August so I think you'll be good for the weather 🤣

DH has been attempting to re point our patio slabs today.... It hasn't gone that well bless him. He got halfway through before he got the hang of it and has got more on the slabs than in between most of them I'm sure. More work for him to do 🤣

larrythelizard · 22/07/2021 22:08

@Juno231 sounds like an epic voyage you've been on, I'm quite jealous!

@blackcurrantqueen so pleased for you lovely. What sort of due date are we talking...?

Oh bless @Franklydear it's good they're all so keen to stay in touch with your DS even though it's full on!

Virgin river series 3 is added to my do to list, I'm going to be quite busy 😂😂😂

£900 @Mumlili9 jeez!! I've had a company car since 2012 so have been cushioned from the harsh world of car ownership!!! Impressive you only had an apple though!

AF has arrived, I reckon that's a 12 day LP - so fricking annoying that it's taken going on hiatus for my body to settle down - hopefully it will stay like this!

OP posts:
Franklydear · 22/07/2021 22:16

@larrythelizard not bad for a shy autistic boy, eh? the organising is a very nice problem to have
Virgin river, set up a time when you can watch with no interruptions and don’t need to wear make up, I watched it in two sittings but I recommend @Dollybird89 way of watching it in one go, prepare to cry
Body being a fuckboy even when in hiatus is annoying,

Dh asleep already so there’ll be no dtding today, I haven’t got a clue what’s going on this month, so I can only wait till august and see if af happens, funny enough I am way more calm this not quite tww, this might be the way forward
