Mid 30's TTC--Gin Palace Two: Spawn of the BESH

[SarahAbroad]

Hey all...

Hope this thread name is okay...just moved the Gin Palace around the corner before we ran out of space!

See you soon. The bar's open!

Well am off to my folks in the wilds of Cornwall shortly,with the fella and The Artist Fomerly Known as Small.

Phone doesn't work there so may be somewhat incommunicado.that really doesn't look like a word...maybe it isn't...

Btw just taught small to say 'tanqueray'.he's already very good at pointing out beer and wine wherever we go,thought I'd work on a bit of refinement.he's attempting to say 'tequila' too but it's coming out as 'ticklier' which I like!

Grrrr indeed LaLu - but (and I'm not sticking up for the insensitive bastards) it sounds like that is the generic letter they send to everyone. It doesn't say you're not urgent - I would think your criteria would put you up there (as it were). Obv would be helpful if they bloody well said what kind of a priority you are so that you know when to expect to hear. I would give them a call - I get highly annoyed at the customer service in the NHS and never miss an opportunity to point out how they could actually be more helpful...

BTW PSML @ dentist/wrong hole

oops - x-post with camel - great minds think alike eh?

Hey all! Friday greetings one and all. Am riding that RTOD today - quite delighted actually since this cycle is a mere and normal 33 days AND I predicted correctly that it was on it's way, and I also noted down vaginal secretions so I now think I know what I'll be looking for next month. If I haven't gone off the whole idea by then.

Though I feel a bit head-coldy today - boo to the piggus-flu.

Reckon 'The Vaginal Secretions' would make a great name for an indie band meself.

Bye ginpud, have a great weekend, hope you get some good running-about-on-the-beach weather.

Ha - as I was typing, great clap of thunder rolled over.

PS Notice to all: Do not read Zoe Williams this week. Resist!

(Secretly thinks ginhag is Zoe Williams)

(You never see them in the same room together)

(sat in the corner with fingers in her ears going lalalala so as to not hear any more about Vaginal Secretions - but agrees great band name...)

laurie maybe they think you've been swallowing it?

Ps Laurie add my ggggrrrrrrrrr to the chorus.

and it rots your teeth?

VAG - what is RTOD? get its your "Lady's Days" as my great aunty used to say...

red tide of doom! (inspired by the Daily Mail of course!)

As opposed to the ever so cutesy AF or "the witch".

vag God, have you read the people in the Zoe Williams comments? They are all hateful, all of them. What is it about CiF where people read the free shit and then deride the subject? No one is holding their little noses to the screen and forcing them to do it.

And I am so sick of the baby-haters in RL. I'm the only one of my mates trying to get pregnant, and I keep being roundly patronised/derided for the idea that babies might be fun or interesting.

Phew, not sure where that came from.

Have a luffly Cornwall, ginhag. Which wilds are your folks from? Have family in Snozzle, but who were originally Nanpean, so I love the clay pits and Doctor Who - the early years.

Afternoon! [pulls up a stool]

Gin: I love the name Mani. So there.

Also have reconsidered the boy thing. I would be quite happy with a boy. As long I get a girl after. Or at the same time. Twins! Smaller, therefore easier to push out?

Laurie What a bunch of bastards.

Right, off to make fairy cakes in various paisley printed/ polkadot cases. No doubt I will miss loads of interesting stuff while I'm away. I'm trying to pretend to OH that I haven't spent three days now hanging out with you lot. He's already a smidge concerned that I have divulged too much information about the state of his lolly.

OOh... on that note, have also ordered Preseed as an emergency next day delivery. OH says if we conceive this month we may have to call the child Adolf as it might be born on said bastards birthday. I don't care. I could work that look... (fucking hell... I am desperate aren't I?!)

I concur that Mani is a completely cool name. And he does sound ace, despite being a boy!

My friend had a baby yesterday. I phoned to say congrats and she spent half an hour telling me all the details. I'm afraid I have to share.

She had the baby at home in a birthing pool with only entonox, her partner, and two midwives (who spent the whole time gossiping with each other) for comfort.

She's a midwife herself, so well placed to judge these things, and according to her it was relatively "quick" and "straightforward". If that is the case then why were the following phrases uttered:

"As I was howling in the bedroom I could hear the cat howling in unison in the garden"

"It took me an hour and a half to get down the stairs"

"I was standing up in the birthing pool when I felt my pelvis creak open"

"I could feel my perineum stretching and stretching and stretching. The pain was indescribable"

"What I thought was the placenta turned out to be a giant clot. I've lost two pints of blood"

I was OK until the word creak.

Ick. Just ick.

Boys are lovely ginhag - my sister has 3. I think its just hard to imagine making something with a willie and being able to understand it.

"It"? Shite, my child will be the child called it.

In other reasons to Not Have Kids, I'm off to buy a cream carpet in the Allied sale.

And sitting there's no point in telling ya all the mad things I did to get updiffed, as I'm sure the only one that counted was a non-sulky compliant egg meeting a rakish pushy sperm and a huge dose of good luck (or unbelievably bad luck depending on how vommy I'm feeling..).

When I was about 13, one of my friends said to me "you're lucky, you've got child-bearing hips". I hated her for years... I'm beginning to feel quite smug & superior.

Very fucking annoying laurie BYW. Ring them and shout a bit?

Pelvis creaking makes me want to weep

Sweet Jesu Run. That bit of information has NOT helped this hangover in the slightest. Nor did Zoe's article. Nor did the venomous comments made after the article. I wonder if its too late to cancel the Preseed?

PMSL at emergency delivery of pre-seed.

ell, VAG has some stuck to her hair after being under my bed, so maybe just scrape some off and insert?
