The Palace is open and the anti-freeze is flowing - Blue Bols 50p a shot! Two for one on Archers and orange, for the classy BESHies (the ones who keep their hats on whilst undergoing an internal examination).

We have Vampire Bill and Brian Cox in the Dungeon, and David Mitchell and Brian Eno tending the bar....

I'll put the tea on, shall I?

Muser · 16/02/2010 14:50

I have fake Jammie Dodgers from Aldi if anyone wants one?

I have just cleaned out two drawers of clothes. Emptied out the third one and have now lost enthusiasm. Oops.

And I appear to have forgotten to change out of my pjs. Double oops.

Muser · 16/02/2010 14:52

Not Jammie Dodgers, Jammie Wagon Wheels. Brain is a bit slow.

Ocarina · 16/02/2010 15:07

I thought pjs were normal clothing for this time of day. I suspect some of the people I work for/with would be astonished if they knew how much work I manage to do in pjs some days, and you're not even working!

Ocarina · 16/02/2010 15:09

OK, not sure that last sentence came out right..... Implication was meant to be that if I can work (from home I hasten to add) in pjs then given that you're off work it seems perfectly normal to me to be wearing them.

RunLyraRun · 16/02/2010 15:10

Shit I said "you and I" Don't tell Ead or Scorps

TwinkleToes76 · 16/02/2010 15:10

Well doe Scorpette on being normal! Hope your fella manages to deposit his sample without any probs - I have to say the thought of having to do that in a room while everyone knows exactly what you're doing is not my idea of fun - I'd take a smear over that any day!

Laurie (and Muser) it is non-identical twins that are genetic, identical twins just a freak occurrence. My dad is one (identical) so have done lots of googling on this! I think non-identical twins occur when two eggs are fertilized at the same time, identicals happen when one fertilized egg splits into two. So I suppose clomid may make you hyper fertile and release more than one egg at a time but also generally identical twins are more likely the older you get! Either way, it is a daunting prospect but I think might be rather fun once you're over the first year!

Muser · 16/02/2010 15:13

Damn, I think I knew it was that way round as I remember being glad my Gran was an identical twin.

Although I do kind of secretly dream of having twins. But the logistics! How do you breastfeed 2 babies at once?

Eadwacer · 16/02/2010 15:19

Yeah, whippings for you, Lyra. First take off your top and rub yourself down with this here bottle of sandalwood oil

Cokie · 16/02/2010 15:28

Scorps great news. You never know the wanking into a pot threat may be all that is needed to get you updiffed. I went for test after test, was prodded and poked and as the time came for Mr C to wank into a pot I got up the stick so he did not have to go.

Scorpette · 16/02/2010 15:46

Hmmmph, well am droiding right now and he's doing the deed tomorrow, so no chance of that, OkieCokiePigInAPokie, but thanks for the thought. He's doing it at home (have somehow been wrangled into 'helping' ) then we're off to the hospital together. Yes, together - he will get lost without me (in all ways possible) and doesn't want anyone to put a face to the spunk, so to speak. MEN

Lyra, that's it, rub in the sandalwood oil. Hey, why not try dancing round this pole whilst you do it?

If we're having virtual tea time, then I want a Tunnock's teacake and a snowball. Drool...

laurielou · 16/02/2010 15:49

I've no idea if its identical or not, I was too shocked to learn about twins of any kind. Also did not want to show too much interest..........

scorps if my boyf could wank in a pot again he would. Best way to spend a usually boring weekday, & he had my OK to look at porn. Loved it! So tell your fella to enjoy!

I feel a bit more prepared for programme this week lyra. And you're right - if we're still on here & SWI after that I reckon we can do just about anything

Cokie · 16/02/2010 15:50

Biscuits wrapped in pancakes anyone?

laurielou · 16/02/2010 15:51

I want at least one of each of the biscuits mentioned, as also giving up biscuits for lent (think of the priest in Chocolat.....)

Muser · 16/02/2010 15:54

I will be watching the C4 baybee programme tonight. I love programmes about kids, find them fascinating. Child of Our Time is one of my favourite programmes of all time.

RunLyraRun · 16/02/2010 16:23

Ooh yes pancakes! I'm making chicken and mushroom pancakes with a cream/white wine/onion/garlic/tarragon sauce, and lemon and sugar ones for pudding

RunLyraRun · 16/02/2010 16:26

I went to a fitness pole dancing class at the gym once (not a saucy one). My god it was such hard work, lifting your own body weight so you're horizontal. I was covered in bruises, not in the least bit sexy. Sorry lezzers!

Medee · 16/02/2010 16:31

good news, Scorps.

Eadwacer · 16/02/2010 16:41

I am not having pancakes, because I iz fucking fat at the moment [bitter fat hamster-cheek emoticon]. Kindly desist from dangling your gallettes before my stomach eyes.

Muser · 16/02/2010 16:44

I am not having pancakes until tomorrow. When I shall consume vats of pancakes, waistline be damned. MrM makes good pancakes. First meal he ever cooked for me.

iggypiggy · 16/02/2010 17:05

yay for the results scorpina muchly pleasing!

AM in awe of lyra's savoury pancake suggestion - had never thought of such a thing excellent idea!

Muser · 16/02/2010 17:38

I have savoury pancakes with cheese, ham & mushrooms on. Or you can stuff them with bolognese sauce and put white sauce on for canneloni. Or spinach & ricotta cheese. Nom.

CUNextTuesday · 16/02/2010 17:42

Can I also recommend corned beef and baked bean pancakes covered in Campbells tomato soup and baked withe cheese on top, followed by vanilla ice cream, lime and coconut pancakes to follow?

Muser · 16/02/2010 17:47

Umm, that sounds very wrong and disgusting. Corned beef and baked beans? Urrrgh.

RunLyraRun · 16/02/2010 17:48

No Cunty, no you cannot. That sounds vile.

I'm off for nom nom nomerama now
