Yup- weird zooming baby! I think even the midwife was shocked!

Basically with DS i had an epidural as was VERY long labour and i was knackered. But subsequently cos i couldnt feel anything I found pushing him out very hard, and he was eventually delivered with forceps and i had a horrid episotomy.
SO with DD I was determined NOT to have an epidural and did the whole thing on just a bit of gas and air. And I could feel her coming out...like when you REALLY need a poo and cant hold it in ...anyway I was shouting "Its coming out!!!" and sure enough my body just kind of expelled her in a weird spasm . I had a tiny tear but no stitches were needed. Then I promptly threw up! Nice!

My porn star name is Mospsy Fisher if that is any help .

honeyapple · 29/03/2007 13:05

Sorry, Mopsy Fisher...

Hello gorgeous ladies. Fab picture Greedy - you look great! And funnily enough you do look like how I imagined. And, of course you are right, I forgot you all know my first name AND middle name. D'oh... My anonymity crumbles. I didn't get a chance to put on my picture yesterday as DH and I went to a pub quiz, but will do it tonight.

OK, re: names, as most of you know mine I'm going to try and guess yours (also I've had a rubbish morning at work and need to think about something else )
Greedy = Claire
KitKat = Katherine
Fettle = Julia
Bodkin = Lisa
Pinkbutterfly = Rosie
Firststar = Charlotte
Honeyapple = Anna

Anyway, off to another piss boring meeting - Yawn!!! Am missing my DS a lot today too so I may try to sneak off a wee bit early so we can play. Hope you are all well, and I hope your friend is coping Pinkbutterfly.

Pelvic floor, pelvic floor, pelvic floor...

Chooster · 29/03/2007 13:25

BTW, I already know MrsMc's name (athough sometimes I'm still tempted to call her MrsMC!) so no guessing there x

honeyapple · 29/03/2007 13:37

Chooster- you are freakily close with my name!

Honeyapple - Anne? Emma (kinda sounds like Anna) Anyway you don't have to answer

honeyapple · 29/03/2007 15:13

Chooster- Emma?? Nope.

MrsMcEasterBunny · 29/03/2007 15:30

Chooster, that was fab (and of course I know your WHOLE name! )

Loved the pelvic floor, pelvic floor, pelvic floor! done mine too!

My "porn star" name is Sheba Bolton but there is a REAL pop star and a porn star with my old name!

Honeyapple ? Jennifer?

PinkButterfly · 29/03/2007 16:48

Afternoon all you lovely ladies.
My internet crashed last night and I've been on the go all day today so first chance to get online.
Thank you again for all your kind words regarding my friend. Her dh had told my dh to tell me not to phone yesterday as she was so upset but didn't feel I could not get in touch at all so just sent him a nice text offering my condolences and support. I am going to get her a nice card and send it tomorrow and I think I'll wait until early next week to give her a call and maybe go see her if she is up to it. We had planned to get together with our kids next week with them being off school/nursery on easter break so hopefully we might still be able to do that.
So, I finally managed to (sort of) catch up on this thread and my you have all been busy with profiles/pics and name guessing. Sorry Chooster - you are nowhere near with my name! I haven't got around to even looking at doing a profile yet. Might do that soon.
MrsMc - you actually look quite like I'd pictured you to be honest. I imagined your hair to be long like your pic but jet black and I'm now racking my brains trying to think of pop star's name which might sound like a porn star!!!

Chooster · 29/03/2007 21:04

OK - I think I'm being really thick - tried to put photo on so I've selected it in the gallery bit but its not displaying... Mmmm, any tips?

Bodkin · 30/03/2007 08:08

Oh, I've missed all the fun and games!

Greedy - sorry - I know your googled name pic was a bit obvious, but there wasn't much else available. I'll have another go later!

Chooster, you got the last letter of my name right, but other than that quite wide of the mark! I was trying to guess what you might look like the other day, and then it occurred to me (especially after googling "chooster" that you might be part (or all) chinese?

MrsMc - I did try googling your name, but you are unique! There were no images at all! Now I'm racking my name to think of porn/pop stars. Sam Fox?

I am confused about all this pelvic floor malarkey. When I do the exercises, it all seems fine - can hold for 10 and release slowly - do the old "imagine a lift going up through the floors" etc. Yet when I need to "fuff", there ain't much holding it back like a lady! I'm starting to sound like my gran!

Last day in my bookkeeping job yesterday. Was quite sad to leave really, as it has been a nice little job, and a welcome day of civilisation and pretending I am

Bodkin · 30/03/2007 08:10

sorry about that...

That i have a proper job, read Heat magazine in my lunch break and generally be quite organised! Still, it will be nice to have a bit more time to get through my window workload.

Bodkin · 30/03/2007 08:12

Chooster - no tips I'm afraid, just check that your image is in jpeg format, not too large, ummm otherwise, don't know.

Chooster · 30/03/2007 09:33

I'll try again later on and see if I can figure it out. Maybe the file is too big.... No not chinese am afraid . Choo is a nickname I've had since I was very little. Its still the only name my Dad calls me by.

Shame about your book-keeping job, but at least you'll more time to get on with other things - although I do know what you mean about having a chance to enjoy something different once a week.

greedyforbabies · 30/03/2007 13:25

Greedy = Hmmmmmmm! i wonder!
KitKat = Kerry
Fettle = Julia ( i agree )
Bodkin = Sara
Pinkbutterfly = Jo
Firststar = Sophie
Honeyapple = Hannah
Chooster = Rachel
MrsMc = Tracey

close with anyone?

Chooster · 30/03/2007 14:10

Spot on with me !!!!

Was I even close with Claire Greedy... Maybe a 'Kelly'?

KitKat30 · 30/03/2007 14:13

Nah - Kitkat has nothing to do with my real name... but has everything to do with my love of Kit Kats! I told you I wasnt very imaginative.

I reckon Bodkin's suggestion that MrsMcJ was Sam Fox was pretty spot on though! If not, it was still a blooming good guess!

I am officially the size of an elephant. I look so damn WIDE... it's really quite depressing.

How are all you lovely ladies?

KitKat30 · 30/03/2007 14:14

Ahhh now wasnt Traci Lords a porn star and a pop star???

MrsMcJ - as Greedy says, are you a Tracy/Traci/Tracey????

OP posts:
Chooster · 30/03/2007 14:39

I know MrsMc's real name and even I am struggling with the porn star / pop star connection. My knowledge of one of the other is obviously a bit poor!

KitKat30 · 30/03/2007 14:49

Damn...

My knowledge of porn stars isn't that extensive either! Which is probably a good thing!

I give up! - I vote for anonymity anyway

Hello ladies ? very tired, was up at 4.30 this morning to go away on business but due to airline incompetence, I ended up back at the office at 10.30 but it felt like lunchtime! Then a HUGE teleconference with numpties

Hello PinkButterfly hope you see you friend soon. Are you a ?Joanna?? Funny that you thought I?d have jet black hair, my sister does and we look quite alike (but I?m more haggered!)

Chooster ? I had probs uploading photos at first, think they weren?t in the right format. Do you know my maiden name? that might help

Bodkin ? plenty more where that came from I suspect! confused about the googled name pics! Chooster?s not Chinese! Are you a ?Lynne?? or a ?Lucy??

Hint ladies, the pop and porn stars are not the same people just the same name, I don?t really know of many porn stars so can?t give any clues there but I pop star is much younger than me and has a bit of an acting career these days too I think. No, not Sam Fox!

Greedy ? Tracey?! Funny you said Jo for Pinky too Are you ?Anna? or ?Louise??
