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!

Wee that is Long I'm sorry

"Confince" is a word, by the way. It means "to persuade despite all the evidence to the contrary"

longwee sorry mate. Proffers punchbag for you to seek revenge upon.

And seeing as you all ignored yesterday afternoons' post;

CHAMPAGNE ALL ROUND FROM ME!!!

Lushes we are celebrating. My pie is cooked. I am not destined to be jobless.

I can get back on the SWI waggon.

Woohoo! Cheers Cossie!

Wooo Hooo Excellent News!! Thanks for the Fizz too , yumm yumm. T'is my favourite!

Booze! Early morning booze!

(oh, and congratulations on job, cosmo! Is brilliant)

VAG under a table hmm? You're getting there. We'll have you out of hiding very soon.

I am so fucking relieved it's untrue. And I still get my redundancy pay out so am thinking of things to splash the cash out on already! gold plated poas sticks anyone??

Have to be quick, on crap phone (am at TYF's Grans which makes MIL's house look like The Museum of Exemplary Hygiene) but wanted to give Longwee a hug and a friendly punch. Thinking of you, gal

And a woohoo for Cosmo

More from me later, unless I get Ebola or summat...

Longwee have a big bear hug from me too.

Cos well done for avoiding a life of sitting around in a toast crumb covered dressing gown

Lyra You will make the right decision about who to give the job to, no doubt in my mind. Am also relieved that your interview process has happened as was starting to think you might be interviewing me. I can now be interviewed without worrying about the interviewer having inside knowledge. God I'm paranoid! (And I have used the word Interview alot in one sentence... f*ck it)

Thank you ALL for my birthday wishes! What a lovely surprise when I got back on the Mac this mornin!

My birthday was proper shit. I meant it. Really the shittest birthday I think I've ever had. I won't go on as its all over now... BUT F*CKING HELL!!!! Poured myself a whiskey late last night after an irritating evening, had a bawling tantrum and exclaimed to OH that he might as well bury me now. Not that I'm dramatic or anything...

Oh extreme Sorry it was so shit. do you want a go on the punchbag I gave to longwee?

but, I do plenty of sitting round in toast crumb covered dressinggown! am also v good at getting toast crumbs in the bed.

extreme, hope you're feeling a bit more optimistic this morning. Crappy birthdays should be Against The Law. Would you like a white chocolate button? I just found it on the floor next to donttry's bed.

extreme Manly punch, old chap. Naughty birthday. Birthday must shut its ears in the oven.

vag You found that next to donttry's bed? It's so not a chocolate button. Put it down immediately.

right in the middle of moving house and only on the laptop as my Older Man is now White Van Man driving our worldly goods to the new place and would go nuclear if he knew I was online and not arm deep in packing...

extreme sorry about the shit birthday. I don't know why we bother after 21. But glad you have whisky in the house - did you swill it round a big glass with three lumps of clinky ice a la Sue Ellen Ewing? With a wobbly lip and your shirt falling off one shoulder?

wee sorry about the hiccup. Go to the doctor, though - and chin up, clearly all your bits are in the right place. Next time!

cosmo Great news about the job! What a relief.

VAG GET OUT FROM UNDER THE BED.

hag mani sounds so sweet. At least you know you've done it once, and you can do it again - my big cloud of gloom is that after trying so long, and with apparently nothing wrong with me, I'm just not meant to have kids. Which I can totally deal with, but would rather have the news delivered by mother nature NOW, instead of spinning it out for the next five years in manner of Lost.

scorpette Am a bit of a household slattern but know what you mean about eating in places where things are 'wiped out' rather than washed. [shudder] my own filth is one thing, but other people's... Groo. Although if you could see the dust that was under our bed when we moved it, you'd all have your screen disinfecting wipes out. Dust, and - ironically - the Lakeland spring cleaning catalogue.

Bollocks. The van is back...

lmao at you lot, speshly the wildfig! My older man popped home for lunch [read: to make sure I hadn't found where he hid the whiskey] and I was quick to shut down the screen in case he found out that I spend all day loitering around the gin palace with you lot! Also a tad concerned he would realise that birthday was sooo depressingly shit, considering I spent the most part of it with him! He's convinced we all slag off our men folk on here. Little does he realise the vomit worthy man love that lingers round the palace!

Your Dallas description was frighteningly similar to my outburst last night. There was definite wobbly lip action. Only difference was that my husband did not work the "Whatever... bitch" look that JR had perfected. More likely that he was thinking "actually, you might as well bury ME now so I don't have to put up with your hormonal mental ways any longer".

The good news is I am SO over worrying about being up-diffed this month. Amazingly all symptoms have subsided - fancy that!!

Is VAG still under the bed thanks to threat of baby delivered by courier?

Come outta there love and have a likkle drinkie with me.... I have a great bottle of the malt stuff... drink enough of it and you'll get heartburn and indigestion worse than any symptom spotter!

I'm actually curled up under the coffee table with Cosmo's bubbly, a straw and my knitting. come and join me!

OOOhhhh knitting!!!

I love bubbles me! They used to be my favourite tipple! Have been limited of late to a vintage Cava from Sainsbury's.. four for the price of three = 4 bottles for £12.42. Bargain!

I've been keeping my mind active by reading. Fancy me reading to you as you knit?!

PMSL @ "Three Stooges style slap and nose tweek"

I love our manly punch on the arm thing, remind me whose DP greeted the news of an upduff with a punch on the arm and the immortal words "So, pregnant huh?". Loving it!

Woohoo cosmosis!!! . What are you going to spend your spare cash on?

Hope the move goes well figs.

"Folic acid is great - and apparently this is a major cause of the aforementioned chromosomal abnormalities. How 14 year olds who live on B&H and Stella manage I'll never know - where are they getting their B-vits from?"

Don't they put folic acid in bread these days?

Folic acid in bread

extreme, sorry about your shit birthday, I think we've all been there. When/what is your interview?

Cosmo how BRILLIANT to have a new job AND redundancy pay, well bloody done you Love, love, love the champers, thanks x

extreme That sounds very civilised. What will you be reading? Can you do the voices?

I will be reading "Potty, Fartwell and Knob - Extraordinary but true names of British people" by Russell Ash

I have remembered to take my folic acid today. Thanks Skate

On the subject of taking drugs - can I ask what drugs is everyone taking? I mean aside from the usual cocaine, skag etc - I was thinking over the counter legal ones...

Is anyone into the knitted yurk variety of "alternative" therapies - not sure what these are but I working marketing and my entire team swear by Barocca and diet coke as a senible meal replacement diet and strawberry bon bons are a "Fruit".
