Mid 30s TCC Gin Palace

[SkaterGrrrrl]

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.

I will be played by Sarah Alexander (Coupling/Smack the Pony/Green Wing - oh my love for Green Wing).

I know she's gorgeous and I am not, but that's the beauty of Sunday Night Drama, innit?

skifritzl it's so refreshing to realise stereotyping is alive and kicking

It's so fucking hot I've had to put my Lindt in the freezer.

Oooh that's worked a fuckin treat that has

I have just spent the afternoon with my three-year-old godchildren (twins) at the park. Fortunately their mother was there, but after the mother of all tantrums, I am wondering what on earth am I thinking TTC. It's hot, I'm tired and I want to be the one that flops down and demands an ice cream cone. If I have children, I suppose that won't go over so well....

To answer your question from a while back (like a few hours), (I cannot remember who it was...sorry)Glastonbury was great...my highlights are Spinal Tap, Crosby Stills and Nash, Bruce Springsteen, an accoustic set from Jason Mraz (in a tiny tentvery intimate) and the Peatbog Faeries. I gave The Prodigy a miss.

I would totally add most of the male cast of WW to my "list" if I wasn't afraid of having to do battle with you ladies. And I am totally with you on Spike, idealcamel (I think it was you).

Welcome new ladies!

Yup Sarah it's a bit like that,only 24 hours a day with no respite and not as much sleep as..erm..an actual human needs to live on.and you get used to be permanently sticky/covered in someone else's snot.

Sometimes I really wonder why the fuck I'm doing this all again when I blatantly can't handle the one I've got...

But just when everything is going to shit,he's got an uncanny knack for giving me a big grin and announcing 'i wuv oo mummy!'

I think it's his survival instinct...

I don't know, Sarah - I was shopping with the husband on Sat and we overheard a child shouting "I just don't want to" and husband started to wonder if you were allowed to have the same tantrum - i.e. shout "well, neither do I" back at kid. Worth a go, maybe? Lie on grass, kicking heels and screeching "I want an ice-cream" til one of the babies understands and toddles off to an ice-cream van?

camel you are jesting but actually both me and dp have done something similar on more than one occasion...

and felt like twats afterwards! Does usually make the small monster laugh tho.

Ooo oo oo...

I've just decided who would play me in the Sunday night drama - Christa miller Lawrence (Jordan from Scrubs) as she is my hero.

Have just forked out over £20 for hippified MoonCup. This will ensure pregnancy, yes? Spending too much money on menstruation-related things?

ideal guaranteed. I bought a job lot of tampons last month and this month got the (brief) BFP.

Got the bleedin' painters and decorators in ain't I? Bit miffed but at least now I know I have a cycle with up to 11 days' variance.

Let the A game recommence with a vengeance in a week or so

Fackin ell trea'le that's a fackin disgrace ain't it you wanna sowt that ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht you slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag

^^ lives with a cockerney innit

fuck fuck fucking arse wank FUUUUUCK and also bollocks.

just knocked over a FULL GLASS OF WINE.

the glass smashed but that's not really the point. All that wine it's just not fair.

camel mooncup = bleuurgh. Invest in booze instead. or a trip to new york, worked for me last time. more fun, less icky, still a reason for the duff fairy to visit.

nocoffee I'm so sorry. I think we need to take a leaf from Geekylass' book and get back on the teenage behaviour. I might stop by a coffee shop on the way home from work. Rather brilliantly you'll rarely find a Dutch person in one, just faaaahsands of 18 year old American exchange students lying on the floor talking about "dudes". Not that I've been in any of course, I'm just guessing.

trigger where are you from? I had you down as Oirish but you've got me all in a muddle now.

pudding Spilling alcohol? I am able to forgive you though because you sound as though you live in perpetual chaos & screeching. I also love the tantrums.

A-game is a bit difficult in this heat n'est-ce pas? OH was watching snowboarding last night and it was like hot hard chandelier style porn.

'Hot hard chandelier porn' - that just sounds impossible in this heat!

Yes, it's a bit of a bugger but the worst thing about it is the PERIOD PAINS. My god, I had completely forgotten about these since I've been on the pill for over 10 years... owwwwww

A game, binge drinking, treble espressos, rare meat, cheeseboards, bring it all on I say.

You feeling better ski?

pudding - great call on Christa thingy! I love her too. Am I your barren clone?

nocoffee Yeh mostly, got a bit teary eyed yesterday and just now have written an email to an ex congratulating him on the child he had Monday... which he texted me to tell me about oooh approx. 30 seconds after I read "Niet Zwanger". Tsk! Having read that listeria hysteria thing I'm going to get well stuck in to my pate, prawn & unpasteurised italian peasant goat cheese sarnies though. With a whiskey chaser (half litre).

Has anyone else seen "The Proposal" yet? OH sees me as Sandra Bullocks character. E.g., I get up to walk across the building and people start messaging "The witch is on her broomstick". I do have a bit of a "rep" at work. So a cross between her and Glenn Close's character in "The Devil wears Prada".

VAG we were quite possibly seperated at birth.be aware tho that when the duff monster finally gets you you will prove to be a bit of a dishevelled mentallist as far as the whole 'parenting' game goes.and you will survive on coffee,gin and sneaky donuts.

Just in case you are harbouring any yummy mummy/cath kidston type fantasies.

Mind you I was a bit of a slattern before anyway...

ski believe me,the spilled wine HURT.dp had to let me finish the bottle to get over it.

I feel like shite today.from 2am onwards I had my son lying on my head,kickboxing in his sleep.

pudding I survive on coffee, gin and sneaky donuts as it is.

skiwitch exes should go and live a monastic existence in a cave and spend the rest of their lives in contemplation of the error of their ways, and not in any circumstances go on to lead happy and fulfilled lives. It should be The Law. Kudos to your polite texting in the circs.

VAG On our first date he took me to a diamond factory and offered me a foot rub. I dumped him because he was "too short" and "too young". My current beau is also "too short" and "too young".

Ps sympathy to all who have been having hard time lately,hard to know what to say when you've just 'met' people...so I tend to resort to such sympathatic outbursts as 'tossbollocks'

not really sure that helps tho.

am pretty convinced i will not be pg this month as we are rubbish at shagging and I had a disconcerting and gross lurgy which coincided with when I was prob fertile.did get a couple in but not holding out much hope.

pudding you sound a bit grr or indeed blah. You ok? Are you still upset over the wine?

ski that's why my best mate dumped her last bloke. Always sound like good reasons to me, even when bloke is diamond-presenting-foot-rubbing-angel-of-niceness. And well done on charitable texting.

nocoffee Bloody unpredictable cycles. Deeply sucky. Much sympathy.

camel you are v observant. Am grr and also blah.

Just really fucking tired and have spent last 2 months wading thru the biggest pile of crap imaginable. In the immortal words of the prophet 'Yazz' however, The Only Way Is Up.

And mani (my monkey-child) is very bloody funny.which is a Good Thing
