Yes please longwee - got any cream?

I'm off to have a look around the DM related mallarkey.....

idealcamel · 04/09/2009 15:27

Aw, we're actually having a conversation about fertility and temping. Pony Definitely sign up for fertilityfriend, then you can torture yourself by looking at the "how much chance do you have to be pregnant" thing that it does after you ovulate. Plus you don't have to make the graphs yourself.

CHEGGS - are you still super-sized? How're you feeling?

I had a large glass of red wine at lunch today - for the iron, you understand - and it's made me feel much better about the continued babyfail...

cheggers · 04/09/2009 15:27

the whole thing fucking stinks.

puts me off posting here at all

longwee · 04/09/2009 15:32

Cheggers don't you dare stop posting here until you tell us how many friggin babies you've got in there!!!

cheggers · 04/09/2009 15:34

but i don't want the daily mail to know

skihorse · 04/09/2009 15:42

haha cheggs you loon! DM headline "gin chugging mid-30s cheggers has 72 IVF babies" - obviously the by-line will be "selfish bitch by-passes NHS queues using banker hubby's bonus".

Cosmosis · 04/09/2009 15:56

at your headline ski. cheggs I can't see why you wouldn't want that in print!!

ideal that sounds like the perfect lunch. I hope the actual food intake was just something like a couple of peanuts you found under your barstool?

idealcamel · 04/09/2009 16:06

Do you actually work for the Daily Fail?

Cosmo Actually it was a lovely pizza. Mmm, self-indulgence, you are my friend.

SkaterGrrrrl · 04/09/2009 16:08

Don't leave us Cheggy!!

Well, it's practically the weekend, I'm opening the Gordons.

idealcamel · 04/09/2009 16:21

Splishy sploshy, splishy sploshy.

idealcamel · 04/09/2009 16:24

I have just posted a super-sized rant in the DM thread. Whew! Now need to calm down. Drink!

Yes, I have just signed up for Fertility Friends. Is this going to be another website like Food Focus where I obsess 23 hours a day?

idealcamel · 04/09/2009 16:32

I find myself checking it at least twice a day - as if my temps were going to change since I'd put them in that morning.

longwee · 04/09/2009 16:34

Good rant on the DM thread ponymum. You get my vote!

CurlyCasper · 04/09/2009 17:12

I have been on Fert Friend for ages, but since both me and it have completely failed to detect ovulation, I don't get to see any of the fancy "how pregnant could you be" stuff. Is it good?

off for a quick nose at the rant while I've got the office to myself. Then I really should return home, seeing as he is there, waiting...

idealcamel · 04/09/2009 17:24

Curly The "how pregnant are you" stuff is really annoying - just adds to hopes that are then cruelly dashed . Seriously, last night I was at 89% pregnant, then I started spotting...

Check this out, btw - it's immensely amusing:

Ponymum - loving your style on the DM thread: sock it to 'em! They're playing with the big girls of the Gin Palace now I know I would be sick to my stomach and making official complaints, etc., if I was bloody quoted. From now on, am going to try and sign off with a DM-unfriendly headline of my own. Would be ace if everyone else joins in

Well, I'm glad that I only ever seem to get on the 'net when everyone else is going home from work and won't be around as much

Please pour yourselves a drink and join me in a raucous version of 'The Final Countdown', for if I see no rustiness by tomorrow morning then R2D2 is officially late! And there will be POASing (I see it as a sort of sequel to 'there will be blood'... with no blood, of course, please God*)

Yep, just by writing that I have jinxed myself, ain't I?

Had a good day in one respect though - was stopped by some fashion studenty-type gals to tell me that they thought my 'look' was 'superhot'. And what's more, I couldn't detect any sense of a pisstake whatsoever! That's made me day, so it has.

CUNextTuesday · 04/09/2009 17:56

Tis I, le trog. I fear work reprisals, so I have come in disguise

Scorpette · 04/09/2009 18:38

Trog, that is the worst disguise since LeClerc on 'Allo 'Allo! It's the smell of dried pus that gives it away (hmmm, could be Cosmo, then) What news, Le Trog?

I just wanted to wish extreme a lovely time on holiday Don't forget to pack your special 'going-away' dressing gown and have some actual normal fun sex instead of just SWIing

I am a regular poster on a pisstaking lefty website (I don't want to 'out' it on here) and the current topic is the Heil, so I told em about the shit it's pulled on MN. Hmmmph.

CUNextTuesday · 04/09/2009 18:45

You are moonlighting on a covert socialist interweb site? Heathen.

Ponymum · 04/09/2009 19:26

scorp I'm here ALLL NIIIGHT. Ponydad has gone off to rescue damsels out on the moors so it's you, me, and the bottle of wine I have just shoved in the freezer out of desperation.

Give me a moment to take a few generous swigs and I'll come up with a suitable headline.

Ponymum · 04/09/2009 19:29

Oh and SOOO Jealous of you parading the 'hot look'! I'm currently in a large oatmeal woolly jumper, badly fitting jeans, and fluffy slippers.

Ponymum · 04/09/2009 19:51

OK, how's this:

skihorse · 04/09/2009 20:10

Having lived and worked abroad since I was 20, I have always been baffled by those I've met on my travels "escaping immigrants". I have a lovely friend who is unfortunately married to a racist old git - they wanted to sell up and move to france to get away from foreigners. Twat.

Have you done any more POAS Scorpette?

Scorpette · 04/09/2009 22:17

Le Trog - it's not really a socialist site as such, it's just one that takes the piss of of either right-wing crap or clueless ignoramuses (ignoramii?!) (although I am a died-in-the-wool lefty). Someone on there gave me a link to this podcast, which, amongst other things, apparently discusses the DM MN crap: www.comedy.org.uk/podcasts/collingsherrin/

Pony - I am wearing an old dress now (the one I wore when I first met TYF, fact fans), so no longer superhot. But one of my many jobs of the past was as a personal stylist, but have felt a bit old and fat the last few years and not looked my best, so it was v. nice. Having kids will be a bit of a shock for me, with my make-up addiction and obsession with fash Sorry to moan about no-one being here, then abandoning you when you're here - have been away from net.

ski might POAS tomorrow...
