Scorp the following information may send you completely around the bend: OPK sticks are known to show a positive when you actually are pregnant... so either you're ovulating, or you're pregnant, or you've got mad piss-sticks. Btw, you could've just pulled my hair.

Casper she's got a firm hold of herself has that extreme... well, a firm hold of her dressing-gown lest it flap open and detract attention from the subject at hand!

extremesitting · 27/08/2009 19:43

I've had wine and I love you all!

I just don't want those angry people busting in and killing the atmosphere. When I spot them I feel anxious. Its like being on the Piccadilly line during football season - lotta anger, looking for a fight. I heart our ability to be a bunch of random people who are allowed to be ourselves without being judged or barked at.

It took me a while to type that. Methinks I've had enough wine for this time of day. Thursday is the new Friday an all that...

I've peeked inside extreme's dressing gown - the glorious sight is what's sent me all horny and ov'ing [pervy leer] Thanks for the turn-on AND the support, Lady!

Curly: love your advice - 'got FFJ and positive OPKs and not afraid to use 'em': classic!

Ski - sorry! there, is that better? But thanks for the nightmare scenario you have created for me (and no, I don't mean the secret invitation you sent me asking me to be your personal 'pony girl'): I didn't know OPK tests would give you a pos if you were pg. Mind you, I have the FFJ, so it might just be plain old Ov. Off to get a GOF (more likely a BQF) from a crippled teenybopper. Wish my spunky luck!

Scorpette · 27/08/2009 19:56

Wish ME spunky luck, I meant. Too horny to type. Baby be mine!

Ponymum · 27/08/2009 20:35

extreme Please can I assure you that my apostrophe-related judgeypantsness is only for RL!! I don't think anyone can expect to maintain standards of grammar on MN - especially after the odd drunken night contemplating one's fertility and sobbing over the keyboard.

scorpette To clarify, my DH is 43. So technically slightly closer to pension than GCSEs.

skihorse I had a look at that other thread earlier today and I was going to contribute. Then I saw the totally bonkers comments and ran away very fast!! I am so sorry that you got attacked by her. What on earth was she trying to achieve?

I have finally got DD down to sleep (fingers crossed). So who is having a glass of wine with me?

idealcamel · 27/08/2009 20:41

pony Have already had several glasses of wine with you. Also a lovely pint of cider. Cheers

skihorse · 27/08/2009 20:50

Ponymum I finally remembered where I'd encountered her before. She was talking about how it is so important not to "let yourself go" and how a man can't possibly love you if you put on weight/don't wear full war-paint/wear trousers/say loo type stuff! It's like she's posting from the 1950s!

CurlyCasper · 27/08/2009 20:52

FFS, MN has made the ML thread a Discussion of the Day. Do you think they like the fights?

idealcamel · 27/08/2009 21:11

Feeling v odd ce soir, which can prob be attributed to three white wines, a pint of cider and the realisation that the pissed-children on the Tube have picked up their gcse results and are officially allowed to have sex or die for their country. And had I been stoopid about condoms, I am easily old enough to be their mother. Strange.

CurlyCasper · 27/08/2009 21:17

little fuckers. wish I had cider. Instead I have Mock the Week

Scorpette · 27/08/2009 21:35

I posted a pithy rely to that freakbitch under a false name (shameful, I know). All I will say is that I love oor Biffa...

Ski has done my head in with her 'OPK positive could be due to updiff' shabazzle. There wasn't much FFJ and could have just been delayed spunkdrop, ie unchurned cunt butter. Can't believe I just typed that.

Scorpette · 27/08/2009 21:36

Curly do you heart Frankie Boyle too? Him and Charlie Brooker are my 'ugly but fuggin' funny' crushes

triggerhappybaby · 27/08/2009 21:37

Did anyone see Shooting Stars last night? OMG straight back to my yoof and it hasn't changed a bit!

I'm reading a book on Roads (to return to threads-gone-by). The history of roads in point of fact. I love quirky non-fiction, it's intensely pleasureable.

Sorry you've had a load of old mither ski. I have a packet of fizzy snakes if you'd like one to celebrate my noternity?

CurlyCasper · 27/08/2009 21:41

Me and SFF love that you typed that scorp. Filthy girl

Yes, I think I might just heart Frankie - all the more appealing with me being a Jock. Just seriously PMSL at the last round on MtW.

Charlie Brooker - think memory needs a jog on who he is. Off to google it... But will probably read the pithy reply. Although I think I might have seen it

SkaterGrrrrl · 27/08/2009 21:52

Evening gin hounds,

IT'S NEARLY THE LONG WEEKEND!

What are you all up to?

Ski are you in another fight?! Loving your work on the maternity leave thread.

Welcome to the gin palace, pony.

Ponymum · 27/08/2009 22:22

skatergrrrl I love your name.

scorpette Ooo, yes, Charlie Brooker! !! You have reminded me. He must be my secret crush of shame I suppose. Writes scathing, overly-analytical, self-loathing columns in the Guardian. Is permanently aghast at everything. Suffers from emetophobia.

VeryAngryGusset · 28/08/2009 08:16

Blimey! - I missed a helluva piss up last night! How's everyone's heads?

I have a StickPixie on my shoulder - it's CD35, my boobs feel like swollen udders but/and otherwise I have all the signs of an impending Tide. Little Pixie keeps telling me to poas poas poas but I Will Not. I fall for this every month - I get to this stage, weaken, poas, then within hours the Tide starts. Shut up, stupid pixie! Shut up!

skihorse · 28/08/2009 08:27
extremesitting · 28/08/2009 08:45

POAS POAS!!!! Well done for trying not to, but lets be honest, the minute you mention CD's and sticks you know what the palace will chant!!!

OP posts:
longwee · 28/08/2009 08:54

By CD35 you have to POAS. It's the law.

VeryAngryGusset · 28/08/2009 08:57

Argh - you are all evil pixies! my cycles range from 33-49 days so technically Tide isn't actually due yet. So nyer - back in your cages, evil ones!

extremesitting · 28/08/2009 09:16

Oh... Ok....

I'm feeling flat today (potentially hangover from early wine but I think the peppermint tea should have seen to that).

Made the fatal error of signing into Facebum first thing this morning. I don't know why I go there. I have discussed this with some friends lately. Facebum just makes me angry and jealous. It always appears that everyone you know looks better than you, has "crazy fun" all the time, have babies that are always clean, quiet and smiling; and worst of all - sometimes they meet up without you being there and take pictures to taunt you with.

I know I've bleated before about all friends having kids. I'm not even bothered about whether I get up-diffed or not this month. In fact I'm considering a break until after Christmas (have had the best sex this month that we have had in about 18 months, thanks to the fact we are not "trying" this month - sorry if TMI).

My problem is... the horrible sense of being completely out of sync with everyone I have loved. I knew that when the children started coming that life would change, but I really hoped we would all change together. I speak to them all so much less than I did. Partly this is because they are busy with the new love of their lives, partly its because I have become a hermit. But mostly its because they all know we are TTC since before they even started trying, so its all getting a bit awkward now. As a result, its easier not speak to me at all. Weirdly that suits me, because if I do speak to them they might ask or worse still, they might NOT ask, instead putting their charming infants on the phone to gurgle at me. Punch in the Nads. (Christ, I've started weeping).

I don't even know hat CD I am one, but I'm pretty sure I have a week to go til R2D2, so christ knows why I am so emotional...
