Just dropping in; see that you are all getting more intimate!

Sorry for all your trials and tribulations; hope that all works out well!

Beautiful night sky here in Camberwick Green and am hoping to see the start of the August meteor shower (am such a geek)!

Best wishes to you all; can't post very much (same old problem with laptop)!

Fans jyniers laptop

jynier · 03/08/2013 23:52

Ha ha ha! Thank you, stars!

Remember the horror (and embarrassment) of dreadfully heavy periods! You youngsters have my sympathy!!!

Gotta go now - burning leg!

themidwife · 04/08/2013 06:00

Hi Jynier - I wouldn't mind but I'm not young either!

Maybe some dirt would help? How are you getting on Mini?

Minimammoth · 04/08/2013 09:58

Missed yesterday as I was away, but it's easy to drink, doesn't taste of anything, so not disgusting or gloopy, just gritty. I suspect it will be months down the line before I notice any differences. Wish I had had a cholesterol check though, as its supposed to lower it.
I agree with Jynier, life without periods is a blessing, when you get over the hot flushes, no memory, crap hair, droopy bits etc.

jynier · 05/08/2013 00:17

Risked severe thigh burn to see what you're all up to!!!

MrsBottesini · 05/08/2013 02:38

So sorry, everyone! Have to be quick!

Anyone up for a virtual party on next bank holiday? Last one was such a damp squid but the first one ROCKED!!! (and rolled! as believe some of you crawled out from under the tables and we found a baby asleep on a bed of balloons!)

Cafe excelled with her doctoriness (just made up the word but she was good!).

cafecito · 06/08/2013 01:06

wiiiide awake and hyper, popping out for some juice (no, real juice)

I don't understand child anything Hmm sorry stars, no idea, probably somewhere to do with when her father stopped receiving it? um. not sure. or they might have a processing time.

hot thighs jynier Grin shall have to rock some hot pants

I saw a girl's bum cheeks today at charing x station in some hot pants, they were wafty and voluminous as she bent down to pick up a sandwich

I felt old and prudish but did the Margaret-from-apprentice one eyebrow raise at a fellow queue-er who witnessed the incident

cafecito · 06/08/2013 01:07

stars, I'd avoid painkillers as much as poss tbh but sure the recommended dose as a one off of ibuprofen would be okay
helicopter parent? for being supportive, no? hmm can't win Grin shame she won't think about counselling. I hated family therapy (can you tell, I had isshoos) but one to one was pretty helpful for me at her age

MrsBottesini · 06/08/2013 01:13

loopy juice caféWink

fwiw stars nobody wants therapy if they are told they need it.... is there a door-ajar system for when if she changes her mind a few months down the track? and can you go back and meet with someone at camhs without dd to find out more about how they can help you to support her iyswim?

MrsBottesini · 06/08/2013 01:55

cafe and anyone else hyperactive, you still here?

jynier · 06/08/2013 02:05

Yep, MrsB! - Am here in short doses! You ok?

Think that I prefer "Hot Legs" a la Tina Turner; she copied all my moves, y'know!

cafecito · 06/08/2013 02:08

yes not hyperactive enough to pop next door to my 24 hour shop for juice despite peach squash cravings Hmm classy, me

pmsl at jynier as tina turner Grin wowzers, you never know who you might meet on the internet!

cafecito · 06/08/2013 02:09
