Ha. I am enjoying this row. She is clearly just a fecking idiot. Never mess with a competetive cyclist .

skihorse · 27/08/2009 14:27

She is mad. Seriously, if I were forced to give up being "me" post-partum I'm not sure I want to have children. I know when push comes to shove it's all going to be about my personal energy levels... but I'd like to at least be able to tell myself now that I'll still exist - that I won't simply be redundant as a person. It's all very depressing.

Cosmosis · 27/08/2009 14:31

I agree ski, I just do not see why I should stop being me when I have kids. I do appreciate there will be a lot less cycling, and that it will be different (perhaps not so many 24hr races for a few years ), but stop? No thanks.

ginhag · 27/08/2009 14:33

Well it's nada from me

so what the fuck was that all about then?

Have promised doc and mr gin that I will stay well away from pg tests until sometime next week (if R2D2 hasn't shown up by then)

am really fucked off.think maybe it was a dodgy test as I am not imagining the line but it does look weird.am also pissed off with myself for testing early AGAIN and getting myself into a state.(interestingly my doc said this mania is reasonably common amongst women who are dealing with mc,it's like being pg again will 'fix' it or summat)

soooo.balls I say.

Am away this weekend,trying to remember how to sail before heading off to Greece next weekend.sorry haven't caught up with thread properly but a)I am in an arsey mood and b) we are heading off to mum and dads tonight so I've been running around trying to get sorted (still I am not remotely sorted)

in the middle of all this mani had a good half hour tantrum because he wants to go to granny and grandad's NOW (cue rather a lot of crying and shouts of 'want to go to coooooooornwaaaaaaalll!!!) to which I repeatly replied 'yep,me too mate,don't think we'd get there very fast in the pushchair though'

apart from that outburst he did make me count my blessings today.got back into bed for a cuddle after the Big Fucking Nada...I know I'm lucky to have him even if I can't get diffed again.

I intend to pull myself together and try to 'go with the flow' or something.

Will probably just get pissed

Cosmosis · 27/08/2009 14:36

Yeah, get pissed, good plan. shitter about the no line though, still it's not over till the tide appears. [hopeful]

idealcamel · 27/08/2009 14:46

gin Bah. Like Cosmo said, it ain't over til R2D2 squeaks incomprehensibly. I think I may have strained that metaphor a leetle too far, but you get my point. You don't need to pathologise your behaviour, neither - it's entirely normal to become obsessed with what your body's up to, especially post nasty mc. Small numchuk attack from me.

ski If it's the thread I'm thinking about and the lady I think it is - ffs, she dressed her baby in "darling little cashmere cardigans and cords" (from another thread that I watched car crash in horror). She's quite, um, determined in her views and is the kind of mother that I dread meeting. It's enough to put you off children, as if childbirth wasn't enough.

skihorse · 27/08/2009 14:54

camel hahaha - I wonder if her own business is a shop which sells "lovely things, lots of muslin and teracotta pots sweetie". I've just read the last 20 or so posts on that thread and she's quite insane.

gin I think you can expect RTOD to arrive when you're in Greece.

Cosmosis · 27/08/2009 14:55

"darling little cashmere cardigans and cords"

Pass me that empty bolly bottle, I am going to vomit.

CurlyCasper · 27/08/2009 15:02

now hoping noone comes to office so I can go and witness the chat debate...

extremesitting · 27/08/2009 15:12

OOh... I've been for a look. [frickin mental emoticon]

Stay away fair maidens. We don't want anymore nutters gatecrashing the palace this month!

sorry - i'm like a moth to a flame - had to read it and post. And I missed extreme's warning I'd afraid...

extremesitting · 27/08/2009 16:04

Not to worry. MN scares me. I don't like nosing about in other forums. They seem to be full of mad angry women people.

Dyu think the bouncers would do a better job protecting us if we allowed them to wear nineties embroidered bomber jackets? I fear they are cold and angry in their mankinis

Is 2dpo too early to test?

extremesitting · 27/08/2009 16:20

Good on ya Rainbow but how will we linger at the bar gossiping if you are dealing with unwelcomes at the door. You have no work to do here m'love... though I do think it's your round

(have become neurotic about punctuation)

OP posts:
extremesitting · 27/08/2009 16:21

in short - yes!

OP posts:
rainbowmum2be · 27/08/2009 16:24

Oh well, will hang on for tomorrow, then.

extremesitting · 27/08/2009 16:34

MMnnnnn! Yum!

Can't remember if you've been pre-warned but Baby Dust is illegal in the palace... unless you snort it...

OP posts:
rainbowmum2be · 27/08/2009 16:39

Thanks. That's seriously good stuff!

Now, then.

Anyone got any strong opinions on ML?

extremesitting · 27/08/2009 17:04

Cheeky!!! NOOOOO!!!

CurlyCasper · 27/08/2009 17:48

PMSL - still working though...

Scorpette · 27/08/2009 18:21

Bloody hell, so much to catch up on! Hello to Pony! I for one welcome yet another mega-pedant: I have a special pair of voluminous sateen MC Hammer Pants that I reserve exclusively for apostrophe abuse. I also do the dance once I see 10 mistakes in a single thread. PS we still need clarification on your bloke's age: are you a borderline sex offender or an Anna Nicole Smith?

Gin - sorry mate. Hope you DO have some luck next week

Longweeweehead - are you suggesting that I am a leeedle bit overanxious about everything? I don't see how anything I've ever said has given that impression I try to not being a freakish worrier but that go against both nature and nurture, sadly.

VAG - you're on your first warning

V with the beyotch hassling our beloved Ski? Do you want me to bring the pain? You saw how I pressed the fuck-off button on that other mare. Every time I see her name above a comment I know she's going to piss me off; she's like a 1950's nun or some shit. Am convinced she's a DM troll trying to either stir things up or put us in our place. Will read more now...

2WOOFL Update: right nip also started hurting, now both are fine. Now have FFJ and feel pervy. WTF is going on? TYF also texted me to say he's slipped and hurt his groin. Arrrrgh!

Scorpette · 27/08/2009 19:06

WAH! TWO OPK tests (diff brands, too) are now saying I've ovulating! TYF is not wanting sex, but have said it's non-negotiable. Have either got my egg on twice or this is a really late one. Seeing as R2D2 due next fri/sat, does this mean only a week of OFL? W00t and so on.

ski have been reading more of that thread and I'm going to break with Gin Palace protocol to give you a big hug (and a quick kidney punch to balance things out). That woman is truly a heinous witch. Her kids will be totally fucked up by having a mum who insists that they be the only focus in her life. I know who I'd rather have as my mum - you or any of the BESHes, anyday

CurlyCasper · 27/08/2009 19:08

Scorp stuff his sickly groin and demand some action - got FFJ and positive OPKs and not afraid to use it, kind of thing.

Sorry gin, but it really isn't over.

ski and cosmo deserve jealous/proud bitch slaps for their handling of that stupid holier-than-thou cow. Shame the thread has descended into silliness (last I looked).

rainbow bouncer behaviour welcome, but no perving on/touching up the girls as they enter/exit the palace (oh, go on then, just a little squeeze). Hope you don't kick out drunks though.

extreme I'm now viewing you as the wise one who wimps out keeps calm when antagonistic situations rear their grotesque head.

off to try and get 'diffed Catch you later.
