Come on in, you raddled old caaaaahs, whotchoo waitin' for?

I've gone for a groovy 60s psychedelic theme, so get your fat upper arms comfy in the hanging globe chairs and hide your mememe shame in the glow of the lava lamps!

Russell Howard is our new bartender, although I don't think he's happy at the flares 'n' kipper tie outfit I've forced him to wear. And of course, Mitchell is in the pit, nervously awaiting his first guest.

Let's make this one diffalicious!

Where are y'all? You gone on a day trip to Bristol Zoo & not invited me?

PollyPoo · 27/04/2010 11:30

Laurie glad to hear about your brother's job. Tis v quiet in here lately. Mmmmm donuts... thanks. I'm keeping everything crossed for you Lozzer, are you gonna test at the weekend if no beeping?

Where is everyone today.....

Headbanger · 27/04/2010 11:49

Am cheering for your bro Loz. And fending off the droid with my witchy-woo ways. Hello Poll!

PollyPoo · 27/04/2010 13:02

Have you been sacrificing animals again HB?

Ariesgirl · 27/04/2010 13:18

Hello Poo how are you? I wanted to ask you something. How soon did you go off booze?

Headbanger · 27/04/2010 13:29

Only grey squirrels, PooSticks. I learned to mend my ways after the kitten debacle.

Hmmmmm, Aries, what an interesting question you pose

Ariesgirl · 27/04/2010 13:40

Very silly. Only 6 days post ov (DPO? Is that the right term?) I had one glass of wine last night which was kind of more than enough, that's all. Probably just acting my age at last .

Casserole · 27/04/2010 13:48

Oh dear. No hope for me then. I spend most of my waking hours thinking about wine and/or chocolate at the moment....

Laurie hope it's a non-droidal day for you today.

Casserole · 27/04/2010 14:23

I am grumpy as FUCK this afternoon. Seriously, am gripped by rage. The bin man will never know how close he came to being accosted by a shrieking harpy a few minutes ago. I'm just spoiling for a fight

Perhaps I am updiffed with a serial killer.

Bessie123 · 27/04/2010 14:24

Casserole irrational screaming rage is a Very Good Sign. Maybe you'll be the first to win a baybee on our new (lucky?) thread.

Casserole · 27/04/2010 14:35

I may have been unwittingly pregnant for most of my marriage then Bessie

I think I am already gearing myself up for what feels like certain disappointment. I'm really not menkulling this month; I feel completely fatalistic about it all. I keep drinking wine and forgetting my folic acid and eating soft cheese and smoked salmon and rearranging furniture. I think it's a big "2 fingers up" thing going on in my subconscious - I'm trying to prepare myself so when droid cometh I won't have got my hopes up.

Which REALLY sucks, as the first 2 weeks of the cycle are depressing cos you're not pg and can't do anything about it, then week 3 is all pissing on ov sticks and demeaning shagging whether you want to or not - this was my favourite week, the menkul week! And now it's just The Week Of Fucking Raging Doom!!

Bah and double bah.

Anyway. monumental effort to take head out from own arse and look around how is everyone today? It is lovely weather here, really sunny. Worked this morning and working this evening, meant to be studying this afternoon but can't get my head into it so am doing housey stuff instead. Any news from the rest of you?

I'm leaving a big homemade fresh cream and strawberry cake and a jug of Pimms here on the table, should anyone fancy it

Bessie123 · 27/04/2010 14:37

Are you not supposed to eat smoked salmon? Oops, I've been eating loads of it.

Casserole how many dpo are you?

PollyPoo · 27/04/2010 14:39

Casserole Bessie is right - I spent 9 months loathing TG and scheming up ways to do him in. I'm not joking. And if anyone even dared touch my bump I'd have them by the throat... then the next minute I'd be crying over photos of kittens and puppies etc.

Anyways, Aries me dear, I am v well ta, feeling fine but bit tired. I went off coffee and booze from about 9/10DPO - it suddenly just started tasting bitter.

Grey squirrels are ok EdCase but no red ones ok? I likes them.

Bessie123 · 27/04/2010 14:43

Oh, whoops, sorry poopoo, I forgot about you. You are the first lucky thread baybee winner . Glad to hear all going well.

iggypiggy · 27/04/2010 14:53

Hello BESHies

Just wanted to drop in and give you all a feel of my comedy tits

casserolina y'know smoked salmon isn't banned when you diffed... feel no guilt... Anyway - rage is good

Muchas snogs and gropes for chocholina ginlet scropy dressinggown muse and really for anyone else that would like/ need some

maswera · 27/04/2010 14:55

Hello all. Came over to set off a dozen big noisy alarm clocks to wake up the hungover/sleeping lushes since it's all so quiet in here - but looks a few have been roused already. D'ya think it's quiet coz Scorpy isn't SWI

at Poop spending 9 months scheming to do TG in... Have you since told him this?! Bet he's pleased with your news then eh?!

Bessie123 · 27/04/2010 14:58

iggypiggy did you go to the open day last Sunday?

queenrollo · 27/04/2010 15:07

well.....the droid is here but then with himself being in London when i needed him here i knew i wasn't going to win this month. I am pleased in a way though because after last months waiting game and droid turning up on day 40, this time it was day 30 and so i'm hoping that was just a blip.

I've been trying really hard not to obsess about getting pregnant but have counted forward and realised that we are on holiday when our SWI'ing should occur. At a festival. Sharing our 'accomodation' with a small child. So i'm sulking already.

We're waiting for his divorce to come through so we can set a date to get married. I've already bought my dress and then realised if i get pregnant soon it will have been a waste of money as i won't be able to get into the damn thing. But i really don't care. because i want a baby.

bloody hormones....i've cried at all sorts of stupid things in the last two days.

smacks self in face with swingball racket.

iggypiggy · 27/04/2010 15:10

bess yes I did! Got goody bag an everyfink - which was pleasing. Did you go too?

Bessie123 · 27/04/2010 16:04

yes, I went around lunchtime

iggypiggy · 27/04/2010 16:13

ahh! Maybe I saw you! I was there from 11.30-12.30

Bessie123 · 27/04/2010 16:45

Same, I got there just before 12. What were you wearing..?

Headbanger · 27/04/2010 16:50

Bugger to the droid Queenie, and to general causes for weepiness.

Casserole · 27/04/2010 17:17

Smoked salmon is ok?? Since when?? I'm sure it was banned when I were updiffed last. Well, bloody good news anyway, cos I've a whole platter of the stuff for dinner tonight

I feel left out. What open day and what was in the goody bag? Because it's on this thread I'm imagining a goody bag full of clomid and progesterone pessaries

Oh, Bessie I'm really not sure. Would normally be 7 dpo at his point (day 25, usu ov day 18) but this month my sticks were all over the shop, my strongest ones were day 13ish so could be 11 dpo or so. It's been a v odd month, sticks wise. Due on Fri/Sat. Lots of egg whitey mucus, is that a good or bad thing? I can't remember... anyway. Time will tell.

iggypiggy · 27/04/2010 17:24

I was wearing black leggings and a long black jumper thing - with a pink top underneath i think! My bump is fairly big these days...
