Welcome everyone from the old 'Mid 30s and TTC for the first time' thread. And welcome newbies too. Don't mind the poster in the corner dipping pregnancy test sticks into her glass of gin.

Comso and idealcamel You obviously go for whats "inside"....

aussie I failed the temping test too. Decided to rely on the cervix bothering and knicker checking.

Spotted a tiny bit of blood last night (probably as a result of constant poking at me cervix) but none since. Was .

BYW you would not believe the amount of advertising bumf the GP gave me this morning, including a fecking Argos fecking catalogue.

I informed her in my sternest voice "my pregnancy is NOT a marketing opportunity"!

FFS...

donttrythisathome · 30/06/2009 12:10

Anyone see "Angus, Thongs and Snogging". I was creaming me knickers over the young fella in that....in his school uniform and all......ooh have butterflies now...swoon.

donttrythisathome · 30/06/2009 12:11

Sorry about the BFN laurie. My GP told me I was not "old" (am 36) so please don't worry about your age girl.

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 30/06/2009 12:15

Oh btw if anyone fancies borrowing a toddler for a bit of practise/scaring themselves right off the idea of ttc I have just the thing right here running round in circles and yodelling...

(this is of course purely a magnanimous gesture and nothing to do with the fact that I fancy sitting around eating biscuits this afternoon)

he's very cute!honest!

Anyone?

pudding Oh, I loathed Spike until he & Buffy got down and dirty. Then I went all funny about him. Is it not the done thing to tie the toddler to some sort of stick and let him run round in circles while you eat biscuits? Like some kind of kid swingball?

Went to see my GP today, who very kindly explained to me that all the things I was bitching about - spots, weight gain, tiredness, spotting - were side effects of coming off the pill and, short of going back on the pill, there was nothing he could do. May be true, but made me homicidal. So GP FFS also.

an actual child pudding???

donttrythisathome · 30/06/2009 12:35

Love love Blackbooks...especially the first series.

triggerhappybaby · 30/06/2009 12:42

Now David Mitchell I could climb on board with. He could aristocrat me to death any time

VeryAnnieGertie · 30/06/2009 12:43

I think it's cos Sam is just too good-looking, Lyra. Also he looks a bit like he's wearing eyeliner, but not in a cool way. But you are Wrong about Amanda Peet in Studio 60 - she's nowhere near good enough for Danny, silly dizzy cow. (Please bear in mind I am about 1/2 way through and am still reeling in shock about them getting together).

Weird crush is Stephen Fry. He can do no wrong. And if he can bring Hugh Laurie and his walking stick with him, so much the better.

pudding - er - a real child, you say? Um....

Cosmosis · 30/06/2009 12:47

Hmm, I think there should have been a comma in my sentence. I don't want a child pudding, a chocolate pudding would be fine though.

triggerhappybaby · 30/06/2009 12:47

Don't you think Stephen Fry looks like Richard Madeley now he's lost loads of weight

donttrythisathome · 30/06/2009 12:54

VAG was initially at your Cath Kidston admission

But remembered you are "the quirky"one in our Sunday night drama...so all is forgiven

Newbies - who would play you in a Sunday Night Drama? For me, its Caroline Aherne like the Royle Family.

triggerhappybaby · 30/06/2009 13:04

Kathy Burke

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 30/06/2009 13:32

Tamsin greig.dishevelled,confused,utterly scatty lush.but nice with it.

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 30/06/2009 13:38

Oh and for some more factoids on parenthood ski

you may possibly find yourself occasionally getting the weeniest bit agitated and yelling like a loon raising your voice an eensy tad and begging firmly requesting that your dear sweet baby GOES TO SLEEP!!!!!

Also worth noting that this method of child-soothing and nap-encouraging doesn't work. I should know,have tested it often.

The little bleeder darling is currently snoring away hurrah.

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 30/06/2009 13:40

Oh Nollocks.pretend I crossed out all those things I underlined in the previous post.brain is fucked after the battle of wills...

skihorse · 30/06/2009 13:41

pudding we're on the continent, that's what our cellars are for.

VeryAnnieGertie · 30/06/2009 13:58

Oi pudding, get yer own Sunday Night Drama actress!

lol @ trog & Kathy Burke. Waynetta Slob is one of my heroines. As is Miss Piggy ("never eat more than you can lift")

VAG oh fuck,I thought about that for aaaages.

So now I am going to concentrate on picking someone none of you lot will already have claimed,and so I say... ummm....

Fuck it.I will be the Guest Appearance from Eddie Izzard.

skihorse · 30/06/2009 14:08

VAG & trog - I'm calling the name Rothmans if it's a boy.

OH has already said that our daughter will live much like Elizabeth Frizl - but not such an active sex-life. His fatherly genes are kicking in and he doesn't want anyone touching his daughter. His son on the other hand will apparently shag its way through Europe.
