It’s been thirteen million years & Minster & the good time crew are still here…its September, autumn in full swing and we haven’t done too bad so far this month compared to previous months but I still think we are owed ladies.

Oh and we don’t just talk TTC, we’ll chat about anything. In fact that’s positively encouraged cos TTC can be bloody boring sometimes!

It costs an embarrassing life (or TTC) story for your ticket please then you can hop on board

Agency bus driver at the wheel.…

All aboard bus number 48

Sneaking in quietly to announce that I'm not a big fan of cheese 🤦‍♀️ please don't crucify me 🤣🤣

Franklydear · 09/10/2021 11:47

Oh @Catherinettc get with the program, ds and I are having an early light lunch, yes, you guessed it, cheese and toast, found a cheese from my region in Lidl

bez91 · 09/10/2021 12:25

@paintfairy argggh yes it's not nice 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 yes I especially don't get them ooopsie babies after 4 months of having a baby. We definitely doubled up on contraception after DD as we were so terrified of getting pregnant 🙈

Cheese lover too! Not blue cheese though 😬 @Franklydear cheese on toast is the one 👌🏼

Minster2012 · 09/10/2021 13:07

Oh my goodness @Catherinettc what are you doing to me!! You wee traitor 😫🤦🏼‍♀️🧀

I feel we need a consensus then...

AIBU good cheese is life? (Or a life enhancer certainly!)

YABU : cheese is the devil or something to be tolerated

YANBU : a good cheese is a wonderful thing to be savoured

Obviously I think good cheese is life, preferably with a good wine, some charcuterie & good crackers 🧀🙌🏻❤️but I even like the plastic cheese thins (you know for a cheap burger?)

Cast your votes ladies

bez91 · 09/10/2021 13:26

YANBU @Minster2012 I'll collate the cheese votes 🧀

Voting closes midday tomorrow GMT 😉

YANBU and like @Minster2012 I’m equal opportunities when it comes to cheese, from gourmet cheese board to burger cheese and dairylea it’s all fair game! I recommend the Cheese Society based in Lincoln but they do mail order as well which is how I get my Vacherousse fix!

paintfairy · 09/10/2021 15:47

@Minster2012 🤣 YANBU

gcat16 · 09/10/2021 15:58

Can I go somewhere in the middle?! I wouldn't choose cheese and crackers for example! 🤭 But cheese on toast is great, as is cheese in dishes ie pizza...

Franklydear · 09/10/2021 15:59

@Minster2012 yanbu, obviously, cheap cheese for burgers, yes, gourmet for crackers, anything with toast

DKDK123 · 09/10/2021 16:45

@Haiyaa we're just at a wee caravan park at the North of Scotland. Had a lovely sunrise this morning but today it has poured with rain non stop, we still went out but now soaked to the skin so think we'll just be chilling in the caravan tonight trying to warm up again 🥶

I'm with @Catherinettc, cheese I can take or leave. I mean I'll have some on pizza or a bit of cheese on toast (just plain Jane chedder) but I wouldn't thank anyone if they gave me a cheeseboard as a treat ......the wine yes im down with that part just not the accompanying cheese I've never understood the whole cheese hype 🤔

Catherinettc · 09/10/2021 16:52

@DKDK123 yes! Exactly that! 🤣

I'm sorry @Minster2012 and @Franklydear I will see myself to the naughty step 🤣🤣

Think my sis got all the cheese genes, she can't get enough of the stuff 🤷‍♀️ although partial to a wee dairylea triangle sometimes 🤣🤣

@Haiyaa a cheese society now I can get on board with that, I think that was mentioned on radio one the other day!

@gcat16 I'm all for a cheese board AND a dessert. That's clearly optimum 🤣❤️

@Franklydear I knew you were like me!

@DKDK123 that looks lovely, probs best to have you in the YABU in the tolerates bit

@Catherinettc I think I could eat a whole circle of dairylea triangles tbh. I love it 🤣

@clolo oh no hun I really hope not have the clinic said to increase your progesterone or anything? Really got everything crossed it's ok 🤞🏻😩

gcat16 · 09/10/2021 18:05

@clolo I have everything crossed 🤞🤞

Franklydear · 09/10/2021 18:41

@clolo hugs, here for you either way, but I have hopes
@Minster2012 I know what we are doing when we meet
@gcat16 hmm, cheese cake with raspberry sauce
Dh doesn’t really like cheese, but he can’t scape it, bless him, ds and I sometimes have a cheese lunch

bez91 · 09/10/2021 18:46

@clolo I hope not too 🤞🏼 horrible waiting too 😣 sending love 💕

With my pregnancy this time last year all I ate was cheese. Cheese on toast for breakfast everyday, cheese sandwiches, cheese on crackers, cheese by itself. I wonder why I put on 4kg 🤔

Franklydear · 09/10/2021 18:56

We’ve been building our lovely new bed, and of course I stabbed my toe, building it? no, in an unrelated piece of furniture when I went to the loo🤦🏼‍♀️ but it’s done now

paintfairy · 09/10/2021 21:30

Oh god. I couldn't do a cheese board! Not my thing at all! Cheese sandwich, cheese on toast, on burgers, love stilton sauce on steak, grilled halloumi, cheese on chips- all great. I'll even much a bit of cheddar out of the fridge at times. But cheeseboard definitely not. And I don't want to eat crackers either. 🤣
@DKDK123 oh no. Typical. It's been lovely here! Like summer. But then there's something cosy about snuggling up in caravans when it's bad weather.
@clolo ah crap. Can't say anything useful. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Franklydear · 10/10/2021 07:58

Proud mummy alert❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Yesterday we had a school club family party, and I was talking to the supervisor, and she said casually, he’s no longer a fuzzy eater, he eats whatever we serve and even ask for specific meals, they now have a curry night

Kirky658 · 10/10/2021 08:06

@minster2012 yabu, only cheddar or camambert for me, Stilton etc is the devil

@dkdk123 that looks gorgeous hope you have a restful break!

We won a family photo shoot on Facebook last week and went for it yesterday. Alice refused to open her eyes 🤣 I had a bad day emotionally yesterday I was so bad and down in the dumps. Turned out I'd forgotten to take my medication...

bez91 · 10/10/2021 08:15

So is that a YABU or YANBU @paintfairy ? 😂 🧀

Ahh that's super @Franklydear you'll be able to start having a curry night at home with DS 😊

Hope the photo shoot went well @Kirky658 I remember having one and the woman photographer was the most irritating person I've ever met, DD assumed the same opinion and gave her a baby death stare the whole time. That's a positive though that the meds are having some impact right?

Anyone have exciting plans today? We're driving over to see FIL and SMIL - yayyyy 🥳 then onto MILs - nayyyyyyyy 😩 we usually try and do it the other way round so we have something to look forward too but couldn't today 🙈

Franklydear · 10/10/2021 08:15

@Kirky658 that’s great, they’ll be a great reminder of your strength and her resilience in years to come

Kirky658 · 10/10/2021 08:55

@bez91 she was OK, but she asked me at the end 'how was the birth?' and it was so hard not to cry... Yeah I'm hopeful the meds are starting to adjust now. Had fun at the in laws, think we are going for a walk today that's about it!
@franklydear ❤️

DKDK123 · 10/10/2021 09:11

@clolo I know no words will help right now so just silently sitting holding your hand.

@franklydear he's just going from strength to strength at the moment, you must be so chuffed 🥰

@Kirky658 if you noticed you were more down yesterday that's good that it shows the meds must be starting to work so things can only move forwards positively from here. 😊

Franklydear · 10/10/2021 09:20

@DKDK123 I have to admit, all those years putting in the work thinking if he’ll ever be independent, finish school, have a partner, friends even....the am I kidding myself? And then one day things start to click, and then another and another, and there he is, doing great and improving, only yesterday his music teacher was telling me how he has exceeded everyone’s expectations, I know I go on about it, but the last two years he’s grown so much and at such at hard time for everyone
