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!

laurielou I'm also very impressed she's got through all three of our witterings & moanings. Kudos to the lady in the fag-ash covered dressing gown!

extremesitting you sound like ourkindagal. The tiebreaker question is of course who is your crush-of-shame?

Am liking the reintroduction of sitting as a worthwhile pastime. I do like a nice sit.

Lushes, further to the surname discussion, where are we on the Miss-Mrs-Ms spectrum. I feel like the MIL as a Mrs, I haven't used Miss in years so am still using Ms. It no longer makes me cringe.

I thought it was a coke-induced heart attack?

Hey, wildfig is back! Huzzah! Are you lot, like, managing to work or summat?

Btw, I've given up trying to be updiffed and bought a 2 litre bottle of Sangria last night and ordered OH to buy apples & oranges. If I drink the entire lot, will that guarantee a BPF and 8 months of night-sweats type guilt?

Piffle. Debretts advises use of Ms when retaining maiden name for professional reasons.

I use Ms. because living in a Catholic society (yeh, I know, the Dutch are supposed to be Orange, but not in the South) - I get looks of horror when I reveal my age and marital status. Also I hate the thought of people making assumptions upon me based on my marital status - added bonus - keep yer options open!

Laurie, SkaterBoy is a StarWars geek too.

Skihorse a fatwa is definitely in order, or at the very least, a jihad.

My mistake. Rob Vanilli WAS a car crash. He did indeed die of drucks.

Must confess I am a Miss, in manner of Miss Diana Ross and Miss Bette Davis and Miss Jennifer Lopez. Challenge ME about my marital status, will you? Hah! Ignore Debretts - they get loads wrong. What Would Vivien Leigh Do? is a much more reliable barometer of behaviour.

I am in a testy mood today, not least because my wrist isn't properly healed and I am having to write in pencil which is killing me. Feel that in twenty years' time I will be pinpointing my recurrent wrist injury to that one night when I overdid it on the pink champagne and perhaps recasting it as something more heroic.

I thought he hung himself in shame?

I'm sticking with Miss. Not married to definitely not Mrs, and Ms sounds gay or middle aged. Heaven forbid. Miss makes me sound young & carefree. I like to keep my options open.................

Now I'm singing Charles & Eddie & wondering what the hell Milli Vanilli sang? Help me out...

Firstly, thanks Wildfig. 15 months is feckin ridiculous. Literally everyone I know has produced a sprog in that time. Some have even conceived in our house. sucks.

Thoughts on Mooncups: Initially horrified (had to check on well known search engine). Now slightly more impressed having realised the twice a day change. Wondering whether to invest as

a) Been TTC for 15 feckin months (not happy about buying anything at this moment in time)

b) maybe if I stopped drying out my fandago something might start cooking in there (not in my fandango... you know what I mean!)

Secret Pash of shame: Christ. Probably Michael Cera (Juno). Though I'm not that ashamed....Or Christian Bale (I like bastards too)

Pref Drink: Been warned off Gin and Pimms by my monster-in-law (yes, she sends texts to remind me. don't ask...). Shame as previously I enjoyed a Hendricks with tonic. Now I stick to white wine. Which I drink most nights. Often a whole bottle (this breeding malarky has been getting to me!)

Inappropriate holiday booked: Currently unemployed (damn recession) so no extreme sports or Thailand. Parents bought OH tickets to TRNC for September... where the gin is REALLY cheap. Does that count?

BTW Skihorse, I am (I can't believe I am admitting this) I am sitting in a fag ash covered dressing gown. There. That did it.

Milli Vanili mimed sang 'Blame it on the Rain'.

Yeah, yeah.

"Secret Pash of shame: Christ."

Chris??

Edgy!

GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE [blast of discordant late 80s synth stab]. Also GIRL, I'm going to miss you. If those aren't the titles of two men in denial about their appeal to the gay disco market, I don't know what are.

Damnit. I meant Christ.

Hello wildfig. Tell me about your pink champers injury!

Secret Pash of Shame: Christ.

Are you a convent girl, by any chance?

short version: went to posh party, got pished, did cha cha cha in tranny heels, crashed to floor, squished wrist, bollixed up July's Updiffery, seriously fecked off.

Maybe! The Christ was a tourettes thing. I swear alot. I do not want to make out with Jesus Christ. Speshly not in a fag ash covered dressing gown!

It sounds like fun, up until the squished bit.

@ ruining own joke

It was, especially for the 9 people who'll be getting £250 from You've Been Framed.
