The bar is open and the ticking clock has been muffled for the duration...Come on in!

BUMSEX! BUMSEX!

I love that word, I do. Not so much the act, which is filthy. I am, like scorp attempting to conceive with the help of the little baby Jesus. Sex is icky. Lyra Was it you that had wet patch traumas? If so, did you ever resolve them.

Oooh! I saw more of the ginhag's cards today. Had to buy t'husband one that just said, grimly, "I hate fucking parties". Because that is him, that is.

I feel I have a topic which could rip the palace apart. Marmite - where do you stand?

n.b., marmite is nothing to do with bumsex

iggy I simply assumed you jumped out of planes and wore a maroon beret.

If we have an FB group we can organise an FB 'event' to which we're all invited!!

kimdeal · 16/10/2009 14:32

Re the Baby Jesus. It?s that or eat mouldy cheese, raw meat, and drink your body weight in limoncello - it seems to have worked for me (prune juice aside). Actually, I think it might be a boil after all.
iggy I know the paranoia - I don't know how I will actually tell anyone when I, y'know, come out. This is worse than being a lezza - I'd have no problem telling the world I was with Scorpy, or someone like that.
MIL sucked in her lips when OH told her about my boil ? as in kim and kid?? Ha ha ha.
Oh god, have been having a right old i-d crisis.

skihorse · 16/10/2009 14:32

"bin lids"? Will we be needing to bring our own rubber sheets to the event?

kimdeal · 16/10/2009 14:33

I like marmite.
I quite like twiglets.
I really like scampi flavoured fries.

VeryAngryGusset · 16/10/2009 14:34

We need bouncers for the Palace. And a Secret Squirrel Password. Something like "gin".

Howdy all - and yoohoo newbies ('cept that one) - dashing in for a quick cocktail in between day-of-hell-before holiday. Make mine a large one, David! And a jug of margerita while you're at it....

idealcamel · 16/10/2009 14:38

I like scampi flavoured fries, too.
I love Marmite.
Twiglets are ok, but I prefer the Marmite flavoured rice cakes.

VAG Have you packed lots of tampons in anticipation of the holiday R2D2?

kim if i ever have to announce such a thing i will be met with incredulous gazes..

camel does your husband not like orgies then

sorry - that was a weak joke... but I am tired

I love marmite

idealcamel · 16/10/2009 14:43

ski How can you hate Marmite but like Twiglets? They're the same.

You, lovie, are just odd.

OP posts:
kimdeal · 16/10/2009 14:47

Ideal I think Twiglets are OK, but Marmite is good, so I think you will find that there is a difference. Also, I only ever eat Twiglets in pubs, and I never eat Marmite in pubs. Fight fight fight. Phew, it's delayed reaction to FA. I'll get over it. Mops brow, cuts wrist to enjoy the pain.

idealcamel · 16/10/2009 14:48

iggy I made that joke in my head, too.

OP posts:
kimdeal · 16/10/2009 14:48

Sorry, I haven't really cut my wrist. It's just a bit of rasperry coulie.

Medee · 16/10/2009 14:49

I bought some fizzy piggy tales yesterday, they are lovely. M+S is dangerous though.

Did I read earlier that somehow the FB group is private - clearly I don't want to advertise I am TTC, and plus my mum has just appeared as a suggested friend - argh!

RunLyraRun · 16/10/2009 14:51

iggy, I'm also para about people knowing I'm SWI. And yes, pooch does look just like an NSDTR.

VAG, have an brilliant holiday in Thailand.

camel, icky sticky traumas were indeed mine - resolved through combo of old pants/legs in air/small towel (a spunk towel, one might say).

Love marmite

CurlyCasper · 16/10/2009 14:52

I like none of the above (foods that is, not BESHies)

RunLyraRun · 16/10/2009 14:55

Kim, my mum would be appalled if I announced I was updiffed, because I've always said I didn't want children

idealcamel · 16/10/2009 14:57

kim You're so middle-class emo.

Medee FB group will be private. Those of us who are mates on FB try not to suggest to anyone outside that we might ever be interested in having baybees.

VAG Have a lovely holiday. Eat lots of pad thai for me. oh, and thai green curry. And those gorgeous little sweetcorn things.

Lyra Good creative thinking.

Cor, hive of activity, what.

Currently absolutely and utterly distraught about Aha. They were my life, my life, I tell you

Actually, I'm serious. I am gutted.

Oooooooohhhh liking your pony pic on FB :-) I've requested access without a message but then msged separately - hope you can make sense of it.

Gotta run but ed today at costs of STPO. Bought 2 twin packs from superdrug plus tried to buy pre-seed. Went to pharmacy and quietly asked if they had any. Girl yelled over to pharmacist (YELLED) "'ave we got any pre-seed". Pharmacist, "what's that?", girl, to me, "what's that?". I quietly explained and she said, "oh".

Got something similar in Boots instead.

"The only thing sadder than not being able to concieve is to be the one concieved by parents who didn't care enough to not make mistakes - where a mistake mattered".

OK so it's not snappy, but it's making a point.

Medee · 16/10/2009 14:59

I was inwardly growling at a pregnant lady in front of me at the supermarket, whose purchases required complicated things doing by the check out person, thinking why is she pregant and I'm not?! Completely irrational! However, I am now seeing the bottom of a 360 day supply of folic acid which is just not right (mmm, must be more in there than there looks; I started in March.)

skihorse · 16/10/2009 15:00

My mum keeps texting with me with "I just want to be a grandmother". I say "keeps" - she did it the weekend my sister moved out (age 33) and she was pissed. Would it be wrong to hit my mum up for private fertility clinics if I need them?

I haven't had a twiglet in over 10 years. Maybe I don't like them anymore. I don't know.

Ponymum · 16/10/2009 15:00

I do like marmite but I have to be in the right mood.
As far as I can remember I have never eaten twiglets or scampi fries.

Medee · 16/10/2009 15:02

won't it show as a friend on my profile? Not that anyone will know what it is, but still. Sorry, relatively new to FB.
