The BESH 30s TTC thread in the world EVER - 2010

[CUNextTuesday]

C'mon girls, this is the year. We will form a circle and concentrate hard on diffment.

Meanwhile, David and Jenson have popped the corks and are pouring out the Bellinis. Truckle of stilton anyone?

oh aye, igs, definitely. considering i had peanut m&ms for breakfast you are positively healthy!

Oooh Iggy wiv ziz gropings you is really spoiling me.

It is never too early to eat cupcake - go on, eat it!

In my early 20's I regularly had a double decker bar of choc, packet of hulahoops, can of coke and 4 marlboro lights for breakfast. Cupcake is nuffink!

Cupcake = same shape as muffin, therefore clearly a breakfast item. Also contains eggs - also indicative of breakfast item.

Correct morning tea to accompany this would be your choice of long island iced tea, bucks fizz or espresso martini.

Et voila! A balanced meal!

Lyra I told you I couldn't keep up with this thread. So sorry about babyfail, though. Bollocks to it all.

igs I just had a lamington for SECOND breakfast. So no, cupcake not unreasonable at all.

Polly Are you sure we weren't sharing a house? Because that's pretty damn close to my 20s breakfast of choice, if you sub coke for Pepsi Max and Marlboro Lights for Reds.

I miss my 20s. Now I am a grown up with a proper job and no cigarettes.

Eadwacer I totally agree with you about on Chesil Beach, I found it really disappointing. But I think Ian McEwan is a bit of a c*ck anyway.

You are, however, completely wrong about that grim faux teenager in Glee. And about Mr Schuester. Yuk. And, goddammit, I fell asleep last night and missed the episode.

cupcake has been eated.

It was lovely. And clearly true breakfast item - thank you BESHies.

sorry, didn't refresh before I posted.

Lyra - how are you doing today?

soz lyra. Not with it here. You ok?
I'm now too busy being of iggy's cupcake. Although I do have a caramel flavoured Rocky biscuit. (I know, it really does not compare). Will be trying to watch Glee tonight. Have recorded that and ANTM as SFF wanted to watch Hustle. I have saved my shows for trash fest while he is on nights Must say though, none of the menz in Glee really float my boat. unfortunamately.

emoticon-tastic today

ANTM! ANTM! ANTM! ANTM!

They're short, but they're still fierce. Tyra is inventing a new language, too. There was a lot of smizing.

Camelina even though my 20's passed in an alcohol-soaked drug-filled haze, I think I'd have remembered living with you, you damn fine filly!

Wot is this ANTM?

Am OK, thanks. Mostly shocked that shagging at the right time does not a baby make , and confused about how to arrange our life in absence of BOC.

If I got up the duff we would want to move house (to be near our families) which would also mean us both moving jobs. So do we wait (and wait and wait) until that happens, or try to move now in anticipation, with the risk that I could start a new job and get updiffed immediately (thus creating awful impression on new employer and signing away all maternity pay). The one thing I can't control is affecting all the stuff I would like to control...

I have never watched Glee so have no idea what you are all talking about. But I can join in on the healthy breakfast convo! All I have managed to eat today is 2 worther's originals and a folic acid pill!

Lyra - sorry about your recent babyfail and for everyone forgetting to acknowledge it!

Very pleased to here about Cho and Laurie's positive news on their various lumps and folds!

I think our house purchase is about to fall through, and am properly gutted .

Ok ok - who posted the comedy fred for my pleasure

here if you not seen it...

lyra Mate of mine updiffed, had baby and moved while on mat leave to be nearer to family - so it's a possibility once the baby is born. Does make finding a new job a bit of a pain, but means that mat leave is definitely given.

Twinks Sorry about the house. Is very stressful.

Lyra sorry you are in the Pit today, hope there are plenty of sweaty men down there. Just wanted to say we sort of thought we'd decide where to live if/when diff happened. Being on this side of a diff does not make the decision any easier - though not sure this helps much! Now I don't know whether to move to new area beforehand, take on new house, get settled and use the NCT Cult to make new friends. Or stay put in a place I know well and am comfortable in, surrounded by (non-breeding, admittedly) friends, and perhaps have to move with sprog in tow later. Also at this stage we both are finding the thought of a BOCfail plus moving traumatic so keep putting the decision off.

Sorry. That did not help much at all. Have a tequila sunrise (contains orange juice therefore a breakfast drink).

"I don't fancy being drunk in charge of a anal douche" classic!

twinkle never seen Glee????? What is that all about and like how - it's repeated like every night (well maybe not quite but 3 times I think)

and bloody house moves are all the same everyone tries to screw over all other parties until a) someone gives in and it all falls over or b) it just about goes ahead and everyone feels bitter about the experience for eva.

Lyra sorry about babyfail this month come nestle in my E cups.

Crikey, mumsnet need an iphone application so I too can keep up with cocktails and whinging on the go! It's all I can do to read the last page at the moment, so sorry if I look slow and disinterested!

Scorps agree. Homework tonight girls is filling in your profile page. I guess that somewhat spoils the anonymonity of it all. But since I'm neither famous or talented and like crap telly shouldn't take too long.

Lyra hear your pain. It's annoying I know. You do everything right... and bingo, every other fucker gets preggy. My friend was boasting on the phone last night - first month for both her babies. ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH was attempting not to chew phone in frustration.

We too are also thinking about moving outta the smoke and to green fields and manure, but who knows how long all this marlarkey is going to take??? Anyone, anyone??

adding to house woes, our viewers from the weekend are far from interested

we have no friends where we live. [saddos] Moved for work, found house in what we thought might be nice area, and found ourselves surrounded by, well, people we are friendly to and who are nice enought, but don't care to make close friends with. so we have spent four years researching communities and are now desperately trying to get out and get into one. We'll be staying in the same jobs though. (both got new ones since we bought the house)

ANTM = America's Next Top (short-ass)Model
They're all 5'7" or under in this season, which is well good, innit.

bessie he is. he is a great big swollen veiny cock of the first order, and not in the good way. I haven't been speaking to him since 'Saturday'.

Lyra, I'm so so sorry about the babyfail and also, I SO know what you mean about wanting to arrange future life around a ghost-baybee (as I have come to think of it, sitting here feeling a nice fertile eggy go unloved and unacknowledged ). . . Er, I thought I was going to say something helpful about it but 'I know what you mean' is the best I can do. Does that help? guess not...my only consolation is that on Friday I'm going out with the most disreputable of my manpals, and since there's no chance of diffage I will be able to smoke myself deaf and drink myself sur la table, and not have to do any shifty explaining about suddenly being all pure ...

honey I done filled in my profile while pished last night - it's horrible. Read it and hate me, and I'll change it later & make myself likable. No seriously I will. No honestly! Promise!

Sorry Lyra! Too much feeling sorry for self plus Glee pervings going on in the Scorpette household Babyfail hit me hard this month, so I know what you're going through. Would a really filthy sesh in the pit help?

I am suffering from the very same ishoos as you - if we do everything right, why no win and best-for-baby changes roiling round my mind

I want to move to another area nearby which would put me in the right catchment area for one of the UK's best maternity units (in a top hospital) and where there's loads of good stuff available, like hypnobirthing classes and NCT cult indoctrinations and loads of groovy 'n' middle class mama and baybee stuff, plus is near a Sainsbury's and the area's best health food shop (I love 'em), lots of leafy parks and is right near the Uni where I'm waiting to start my PhD. We could afford it too, but TYF can't cycle to work from there (it's no further away, but have to do half journey on motorway) so he says no. But the real reason is that his massive shyness makes him scared of upheavals. Grump.

Also grump cos we have freeview, which means no ANTM. I lurve that shit. And really want to see the new shortarse series, being somewhat verticaly challenged myself. My 'party trick', so to speak, is doing a worryingly precise imitation of a haughty model striding down the catwalk! A girl can dream, huh?

PS Camel, I too wonder HTF Glee got commissioned, for all the reasons you list. Just glad it did

sorry I forgot to welcome Ivy. hello, give us a snog
