VAG I work in the charidee sector and we also have to pay for everything , like Christmas parties and stuff. My last job in the private sector everything was laid on but the people were so miserable and grasping, I far prefer where I am now

ginhag · 21/08/2009 12:09

If it sounds like I'm boasting that I get free coffee at work...I'm not!I paid for the machine!

Was showing that we are nice people to work for.we're only a little business tho so it's prob different to big mean Actual Proper Companies that know what they are doing and stuff.

Oooh laurie not fancying a 3rd Voddy is a sure sign I would have thought?? If you're not updiffed, we may have to get the Palace's semi naked doormen to throw you out for not being 'core enough for us.

ginhag · 21/08/2009 12:14

Oooo ooo OOOOO Laurie I missed your post!
When you gonna test bird?

Scorpette · 21/08/2009 12:17

Skater, aaaah, nice to know others still have proper '90s skills'. I try and be hep and with it and dahn wid da yoof, innit, but when I'm on my own, it's still Pixies on the stereo and the curtains closed so I can leap around in shameful moshing-BESH fashion. I don't have any tatts, but I do have a nice big filled-in hole in my left nostril where there used to be a nosering.

Ski you better be updiffed or else I'm going to book a flight to the NL and come kick you repeatedly in the fanny. There... do you think the threat of violence will scare the egg into implanting instead of trying to come out?

Talking of madness, I kept having twinge-y pains in my sides yesterday and kept managing to convince myself that it was a combined ovulation and fertilisation sensation and clearly not trapped wind from eating crap food and fizzy pop. This month I'm working on the theory that if I do everything wrong to maximise updiffedness, it's bound to happen (within reason, I mean - I've not been smoking crack. Yet).

I'm sooooooooo hoping it'll be BFPs all round for you and Skater this wkend.

Incidentally, do we like BFP? Surely for we BESHes it should be TFFT (thank fuck for that)?

And VAG enjoy your days/weeks of madness. I hope you're right, mate.

Trig, you lazy beyatch, what you need is one of these:

Ov Watch: Day 14 of cycle and I don't know what the fuck is going on. How come ovulation was blindingly obvious in the past (became terrifying sex pest, aggressive flirting with any man more attractive than Bernard Manning, knicker-ruining gushy FFJ, etc.) but ever since I've started TTC it's gone all shy?

Cosmosis · 21/08/2009 12:21

Speaking of the proper good old days, did anyone watch the stone roses on BBC4 the other week? Fecking awesome they were.

Scorpette · 21/08/2009 12:31

Laurie Oooh, sounds GOOD! POAS! I can't take the excitement of all this possible mass updiffing

SkaterGrrrrl · 21/08/2009 12:38

I heart the Pixies & the Stone Roses.

And when DH & I got married last year we walked down the aisle together to Primal Scream "Movin' on up now".

Scorpette · 21/08/2009 12:44

Goddamn, there better be wedding pictures on your FB profile, Ski! If me and TYF get hitched, I want 'Gigantic' by The Pixies played. And 'Mrs Robinson' as the 'just hitched' tune, of course

TYF doesn't 'get' The Smiths. Says he's the wrong generation to appreciate it. It is the only thing that truly disappoints me about him.

skihorse · 21/08/2009 12:49

I'm not married Scorpette - I'm keeping my options open in case his sperm is dodgy! . jailbait doesn't get my music either and he turns the radio up when this "happy hardcore" shit comes on - although I do believe I'm turning him because he's started spitting with disgust things like "this is stupid, the lyrics don't make sense". He's only a couple of years away from a cardi and slippers haha.

laurielou · 21/08/2009 12:52

Calm down ladies, I have no intention of POAS just yet. I will try to drink more voddy tonight & see how it goes.

Seriously, the boyf & I got over-excited a few months back when RTOD hadn't arrived by day 37. So he's banned me from testing until at least day 100.

I know, I know, he doesn't need to know, but I'm rubbish at secrets.

longwee · 21/08/2009 13:00

Fuck, we've gone from a bunch of beshes to have three (count em) potential diffednesses in da hoos all at the same time. Nice ones ladies. Get pissin on dem sticks and pass your fertile vibes on to those still in the queue.

I have managed to convince myself that I might at a stretch have managed to get one in (as it were) during the crucial time. So I will descend into 2WWOFL insanity starting today (CD16). BTW I definitely had implantation pains when I was briefly diffed and it was like quite bad period pains on the one side. Consider yourselves informed.

longwee · 21/08/2009 13:05

Although you'd better all hope for me that I'm not pregnant as I've for some reason decided that Elvis is in fact a fantastic name for a boy and not a completely ridiculous idea which it clearly is

laurielou · 21/08/2009 13:22

longwee I've met a RL person called Elvis Hitler . Honest!!!!

laurielou · 21/08/2009 13:29

Oooh, off for a surprise boozy lunch - will try my voddy now.

Dontcha just love the public sector!

triggerhappybaby · 21/08/2009 13:56

I heart public sector. Except when it comes to trying to work outside the parameters of a policy... like I have been this morning

OP posts:
VeryAngryGusset · 21/08/2009 13:57

I'm not a potential diff - I'm just a greedy arse with delusions. Pain was nothing like period pain and certainly more to do with burger-and-chips-and-beer dinner with OH last night at our favourite bar to celebrate...er....Thursday.

Elvis is an utterly fine and acceptible name. If you are diffed I shall insist you use it, longwee. We should in fact have an Elvis pledge. All of us. Everyone who gets diffed this month has to include Elvis in their offspring's name. Even the girls. I'm in.

SkaterGrrrrl · 21/08/2009 14:20

I cannot call my first born son Elvis. For.... religious reasons. That's right! Its against my religion.

"Goddamn, there better be wedding pictures on your FB profile, Ski!"

I feel this could be arranged.

SkaterGrrrrl · 21/08/2009 14:21

could

should

triggerhappybaby · 21/08/2009 14:28

Anybody's wedding in particular?

OP posts:
skihorse · 21/08/2009 14:39

trog just bang one of yours up on my page if you like. We aren't married and at this point in time do not wish to get married. He is really anti-marriage, finds it an out-dated mode of "controlling women". I don't want the big white thing - and, since meeting someone who makes me feel totally secure I don't feel the need for the ring. However, if it makes financial sense in the future (e.g., inheritance taxes) then we will do so. Right now we have feck all the tax man can take.

triggerhappybaby · 21/08/2009 14:49

Yikes, I'm not married either! Nor am I goin to be if Homme keeps spending the engagement ring money on new houses

OP posts:
laurielou · 21/08/2009 15:26

I'm in vag on calling first born Elvis.

I'm not married either. Nor have any desire to. Me & the boyf got engaged a few years ago & it nearly finished us off!!!! Hence we cancelled everything we'd booked & the ring (oh, the beautiful ring) is in my bedside drawer.

Next to my rabbit .

Currently getting reports about ongoing wedding of ex-work colleague, getting married in about, oh, 5 mins. Dad already drunk. Tis ok, bride can hold him up walking down the aisle - she is sober as 34 wks PG. She's 21. Did I mention she got PG during "make up after break" sex? Her very-soon-to-be hubby originally went out with her for a bet. They are getting married at "suggestion" of said drunk dad so that they qualify for RAF housing.

Brings a romantic tear to your eye, doesn't it?

triggerhappybaby · 21/08/2009 15:32

Wishing them a long and successful union
