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!

Oh yeah, I left a bloody reply to that one, skater. I hope no-one gets their address, because otherwise there'd be a squadron of MNers with flaming torches and pitchforks. Guy is the very epitome of a selfish immature WANKER. TYF asks me if it's okay if he goes to the shops without me! (It's not like I would care, it's just polite and he's shy)

Hmmm, off to bed in a mo - baby needs its rest (IS it to early to start 'eating for two', even though have not had BFP or owt? And if it's not, can I go for broke and eat for 3? Tempting fate? Bugger) Night all!

(G'night JohnBoy, etc.)

skater read the op,but just couldn't do it,couldn't read on...if we're not allowed hand grenades not sure I can get involved.

Assume the mighty scorp made her feelings known tho?ta mate I would anticipate you spoke for me also...in fact for all the lushes.

Things on planet gin are okay..watching single white female and feeling old.

And drinking malbec.And knowing I should be in bed cos the lovely small will be shouting 'MUMMY COMING!!!' very soon as he is getting a massive new molar and this is not fun.

scorp permission???? Jesting,yes??

Please say yes.

Ok scorp I reread (if that's a word) your post and guess that tyf likes to check with you so wtf do I know.just a bit more of a battle round here.

Anyone who's relationship is a bit more ragged round the edges pleeeaze let me know!I mean I utterly love Monsieur gin but we've been best mates for 11 years,together for 8+, have worked together from day 1 and still do now and have a small maniac so we just can't do what some of you guys (such as ms and mr skater do..)

ok so I have more chance if him spontaneously combusting than being told what to do,but I fuckin love 'im.

Oh no, I read the first Idiot Man Goes to India one then saw the second, and when I read the bit about him giving up his job to be a photographer... I couldn't stop myself commenting, even though I hate those 'leave him!' threads. What a total weapon. DB assures me that there is nothing photographers hate more than mid life crisis idiots turning up at football matches with their shiny new Nikons. It's no consolation to that poor poor woman, but if he fails to get the MN pitchfork treatment, his new colleagues won't hesitate to tell him what a delusional cretin he is.

I am packing my house up in preparation for moving this week. Who knew I'd stockpiled so many mini shampoos/black tights/cupcake liners/free with magazine flip flops/dust? Gah. I am never moving again. But on a brighter note, what's all that about new house, new baby?

(Actually no, will be new house/new puppy for us. but still...)

Good luck with the am wee longwee. VAG what if we told you that you HAD to have a baby and it would be delivered in the morning - what then??

Why aye for the flat cap and whippet section of the Gin Palace. I too am a la'al bit northern, marra. [mashes tea, proffers parkin]

I love those AIBU threads. It appears to be mostly made up of severely deluded people who are hoping to be congratulated for how very reasonable they are being when actually they are entirely self absorbed. That poor woman is a bit of an exception though. I read one the other day from some woman about a bag of crisps - seriously, do these people have nothing better to do or think about?

Anyway, did another test this morning and got a really really faint line - fainter than on Saturday. Can you get less pregnant?! Am wondering if it's on its way out, as it were, although haven't had any bleeding or anything. So going to go to the docs and see what they say. Honestly, nothing's straightforward in this game is it? Maybe that's my just rewards for agreeing with VAG's sentiment yesterday - I'm pregnant, I'm not pregnant, I'm a bit pregnant......

Yay Longwee - girl, as my doctor said, a line is a line. The faintness probably just means that your HCG is not sufficiently concentrated to produce a full on line as yet (not enough wee maybe? Not living up to your name?!). My first test was on 12 DPO and it was a really faint one, got stronger each day.

Methinks you're preggers, well done!

OK, the details...

DH was 3 sheets to the wind but very excited, he's been shedded ever since due to the Ashes. Bless him, he didn't quite believe me at first so I did a test the next morning and DH was watching the stick obsessively til the line turned up. Aw. A grown man fretting over a pee stick.

I think I knew I was updiffed as my temps stayed high, I didn't have period pains (mine are whoppers usually), my boobs were massive already (some bras didn't fit) and I had a queasy feeling on and off. The nausea is a bit of a shitter TBH, feel like I'm car sick most of the day and I am rubbish at feeling sick.

Of course I'm now worrying about Things Going Rong so I need to Calm The Fuck Down and enjoy this [gives self slap, mans the fuck up]

Cheers ladies, punches all round

Cheers nocoffee - although my period is 10 days late so I would have expected a convincing line by now... I am sticking with the 'a bit pregnant' theory for now as it is is pleasingly vague - not definitely pregnant and not definitely not pregnant. Wonder if you can 'kind of' have a baby as well - ideal for those of us can't quite get off the fence....

Glad all is well in coffeehouse - you definitely deserve a chinese burn for that

haha wildfig, I had to read that five times before I realised that Monsieur Gin was in fact your husband and not an obscure brand of real gin I'd not yet discovered!

Skater I read the follow-up of that yesterday and said she should give him the green light for all his little ventures on the basis that he pays for them from the profits of his new photography business.

WTF longwee 10 days late? You're either diffed and unable to pee on a stick properly - don't worry, happens to the best of us. I'm not allowed to POAS anymore, I just have to present jailbait with a cup. OR your body is really fucking with you... when was your BOD?

wildfig A baby delivered in the whatnow? Eh?

longwee weeheeeeeeeeee!

nocoffee excellent tale of sticks and sick.

That thread: Oh. My. God. What is wrong with these men? Do they actually realise their families exist apart from proof of their loin-juice?

Though the upside was comparethemidlifecrisis.com. Simples.

She's as delusional as him, in that case. Profits of his new photography "business" will make the £4000 loan for the suicide mission Indian trip look like chicken feed, believe me. He's going to need to spend double that on kit, at least.

ski think you might be confusing me with la ginhag. My husband is Mr O'Mc'Fig. My secret lover is Lord Pimms.

longwee that is exactly how I imagine I'll feel if I ever get diffed. Is reassuring to know there are others who are just as focused on the blue lines and sort of vague about what follows.

God, it is autumn already here?

[bangs on VAGhouse door] Oi! This baby! It needs signing for, love! Can I leave it in the garage?

Do you still want one? Are you feeling any less ambivalent? Maybe we should all be issued with those screechy Wee Baby things they give Vicki Pollards. We'd have to find nursery places for it, and try fitting it our unsuitable cars.

lalalallalalallalalallaaaaa!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear extremesitting, happy birthday to you.

here's a chinese burn, it was all I could afford.

I read that thread too. then I had to stop as I was in danger of having a stroke. fucking men.

{muffled} Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday dear extremesitting! Happy Birthday to Youuuuuu!

fig I keep offering to lend out the Small Crazy One...would be especially happy to do so today,as it's pissing with rain and he is in a very strange,grumpy,shouty sort of a mood.as am I.he's teething tho so he has an excuse...

wee line is a line matey.good idea to see a doc tho otherwise you'll be weeing on sticks until the thing actually pops out!

Fuck I really want to go back to bed.

Happy birthday extremesitting

we've clubbed together to buy you a new dressing gown.a nice quilted nylon number appropriate for post BOD...

PMSL @ wildfig and her DHL baby. You know what I love this thread because:

a) it makes you realise that there are lots of other people who obsess/panic at exactly the same things which is sooo reasurring

b) every body is piss funny

c) it makes you think it might be possible to have a baby and not become a boring twat

d) (slightly sickly one) even though we are all at different points on the trying/pregnant/miscarried/barren spectrum it is amazing to get such support and not bitterness/snideyness/jealousy/etc

e) it's so much more entertaining than working....

Aren't women fab. High fives all round and a round of slammers I say

Just finished that thread - Class A Twat. Think she's a bit unhinged to even contemplated listing to the idea.

Photographer??? - as if surely you have to have talent to do that sort of thing??

Happy Birthday Extreme

Happy Birthday extremesitting. She's probably ironing her dressing gown AS I TYPE in preparation for today! I can see her in her curlers, fag hanging off her lip and coffee dribbling on to the ironing board - but it's a special day. Is it her BOD?

wildfig sorry, you're right of course - how could I possibly have lumped you, Lady Pimms, in with the other degenerates?

ginhag I had a moment last night when on TV they showed a kiddy concert full of 5-10 year olds with their mums and I just thought hell on earth . I'm not sure I'm ready to be a mummy.

longwee I have in the last 8 weeks passed through a), b), c) and d). I eagerly await e): spontaneous sex change incl. production of copious amounts of sperm.

I actually had a dream a few months ago where the doctor said "Of course you can't get pregnant skihorse, you used to be a man!" - OH did not see the funny side at all and I think he's still looking for tell-tale scars.

PMSL @ used to be a man!

's alright ski I'm not really ready to be a mum either!I tend to believe that those who think they are have no fucking idea what they are getting into...there is just NOTHING that can prepare you for it.

Of course that goes for the good bits as well as the bad.

I have surrendered today.we're currently lying on the sofa,listening to the rain and watching peppa pig on telly.every now and then mani headbutts me or puts his fingers in my eyes to make sure I'm still awake

he'd fit right in with you lot!

Who is it that's trained in massage?is it Lyra?

If so I need her delivered to chez gin.urgently.
