Toast trousers - chortle . I LOVE pastrami

Scotland are out - again. Jinxed them by switching over when it ws 0-0 then switching back when it was 1-0. God damn it!

Agree MLS - men in kilts = shag me now! Well not now as my mojo has left town but normally AND said men have to have chunky legs...

Neeko · 09/09/2009 21:32

which is why my DH is not keen on wearing one as he says his legs are too thin, but I think he looks great in one.

Hee Hee "shag me now" makes us sound about 14!

Quite gutted about Scotland. Will we ever be in a world cup again?

bluesatinsash · 09/09/2009 21:33

Neeko bet your tummy is all soft and shiny and baby enjoyed the wee massage .

Marshmallow cakes with choccie bottom and smartie top are tremendous. I do remember a party circa 1976 when I scoffed about 6 in a row and had to loosen off my party dress bow . I come over all funny at a buffet table, still do to this day

bluesatinsash · 09/09/2009 21:37

Its post-watershed .

I know re: Scotland . World Cup isn't the same without the Tartan Army flouncing around...

BlueMoon1981 · 09/09/2009 21:40

chocolate top hats....toast trousers.... i see you've been left to your own devices for too long, just been sat here giggling away can?t stop thinking about 4evers willy pie either, especially tonight as we had pie and mash for tea! I love the fact that you are all unashamedly mad, I thought it was just me who hadn?t grown up sometimes!

oh poor cupcake but i agree with mls everything happens for a reason and although you don't know it at the time, things always work out for the better - keep your chin up and we are here if you need us

mls fingers crossed for a happy scan tomorrow, will be thinking of you

hoping its lovely to hear you sounding you brave and upbeat, what pills did you take and can i have some?!

nothing much to report from here, awaiting af which i am positive is coming, feel quite ok about it at the moment, may change my mind when it actually arrives. deep breath for tomorrow on 1st edd, and i know i will be sad anyway as one of our team leaves work tomorrow too so the tears may be very close to the surface!

Neeko · 09/09/2009 21:42

feel the same about a buffet. It's traditional in our family to have loads of different cakes at a kid's party, but I think it's really for the adults.
All this talk of food has made me hungry so I'm off to raid the fridge before bed. Think there's some caramelised onion hummus in there - yum!
Night all x

bluesatinsash · 09/09/2009 21:42

Oh Moon - big hug for tomorrow. First EDD is really hard as its the first date we have to let go...

Neeko · 09/09/2009 21:44

Aww moon thinking of you tomorrow. Big hug.

bluesatinsash · 09/09/2009 21:44

Night Neeko - I'm off too, retiring with new 'Red' magazine

TTFN x

MummyLovesSadie · 09/09/2009 22:02

Moon I don't want to get your hopes up but I've always been positive af is coming before I get a bfp. The symptoms are very similar. Sending you hair-strokes for tomorrow.

Neeko yes I think pickled cucumbers & gerkins are one & the same. You can buy them in long thin slices ready to put in your sandwich.

Blue did you watch Gunpowder, Treason & Plot that was on telly a few years back? The best bit was when hunky, kilted Bothwell said to Mary Queen of Scotts "I want you in MY bed tonight"..... I'll always remember that bit for some reason

BlueMoon1981 · 09/09/2009 22:09

thank you blue neeko and mls for the hugs and hairstrokes - saving them for a weebly wobbly moment tomorrow. night xx

CurlyBigPants · 09/09/2009 22:48

Just a quick hello to offer mls my hand for tomorrow. Remember bean doesn't need a scan

Sorry I haven't been on, so stressed at work at the moment and just collapse into bed in the evenings. Big hugs to you all though, especially 4ever for yesterday (sorry I didn't post I was thinking of you hon) moon for tomorrow, the lovely cupcake and her DH and anyone else who needs one xxx

Wee bit excited that we may get some more bfps soon Hope that cow AF stays away from all you lovely ladies

Sorry not to post to you all personally. Talk soon xxx

littlebellsmum · 09/09/2009 23:38

Moon and MLS - another hand to hold tomorrow, thinking about you both.
Hi to everyone else - Neeko explain again about the cakes - is it a choclate cupcake with a marshmallow on top followed by a smartie? I have a 6 year olds bday party on saturday and think they would go down a treat!

Neeko · 10/09/2009 08:47

Morning.
LBM buy those little cake cases and fill the bottom with melted chocolate. Pop a marshmallow on top and attach a smartie to that with a little more melted chocolate. Theay are absolutely delicious and you can easily eat ten in a row!

Squeezing hard on the hands of those who need it today x

Joolsiam · 10/09/2009 08:55

I'm late to this as usual and Moon and MLS have probably run out of hand ! How about virtual good vibes and a huuuuuugggge bar of Green and Blacks ?

Wobbling this morning - worried I'm imagining all my symptoms and am going to come crashing down into meltdownland

mermaid - I've had spare knickers fly out of my bag and land on random people when I'm rooting around for stuff, but have never found an extra pair in my trousers

Cupcake and Buddha - sorry to hear about the redundancies I've been through it myself and with DP and it is very scary - each time though, it has eventually worked out for the better. This could be just the change your lives need, only you don't know it yet. I made extra money out of my redundancy (and DP's) because the firms didn't follow the proper process and had to shell out another wedge of cash to avoid being taken to tribunal - in one case all because my P45 arrived just before the end of the "consultation period" and on the day I'd been for a redeployment interview !

Commiserations to Scottish football fans too - hope respective DP's were not in foul moods afterwards ...

Right, got to do some work if I'm to get out of here and actually sleep in my own bed tonight !!

4everhopeful · 10/09/2009 09:54

Popping into give Moon a super big cuddly squeeeze cos its very important to know you are not alone on this day, that your LO will always be remembered, not just by you, and that you are loved, allowed to wobble, and probably alot braver than you actually feel today my lovely lady xxxxxxxxxxx EDDs are shit, its not fair, but your time will come xxxxx It doesnt matter if its your 1st or 4th edd, its the date your baby should have been born & its right to remember. I looked at my baby due on tues scan pictures, one scan was on baby no2s edd, life is strange & cruel sometimes... Luckily it seems you have had alot of support from your fellow emmsys, hopefully you have someone in RL who could give you a squeeze too? It makes all the difference xxxx

Also wanna say big hug to the lovely cupcake and your dh - really sorry about the redundancy & hope that one door closes & another opens.. Know how awful it is, been at risk of redundancy for 2yrs now as outsourcing my area to Poland(!!),could keep current job but relocate to west end & dont wanna with ttc/mc so will stay here but face redundancy next July now. Its a very scary, unnerving time & the anxiety is so overwhelming sometimes, what with all this ttc/mc crap Iv worried about my sanity lately! Just want you to know you're not alone, and that as you very kindly said to me on on tues, this could be a new chapter for you... xxxxxxxxx

Also wanna say good luck to MLS sure you & beanie wont need it tho hon. No doubt your tummy has a full circus of acrobats backflipping & somersaulting keeping beanie company! Fingers & toes will be crossed at 2.30pm.. xxx

Better crack on- big waves to the rest of you! Dunno about the aspirin, think will just continue with my sporadic intake! Last dose was with AF I think If When I get that BFP it wil be a daily ritual tho...

MrsKate · 10/09/2009 09:56
