Ascot ~ I've never really 'got' it. And this has done little to convince me that it isn't a just a bunch of sozzled toffs and wannabes trying too hard to have 'fun' . There's a woman wearing a bathroom for a hat. (Now there's a sentence you don't get to type every single day). And a pork pie hat that is, you know, an actual pork pie. Oh, the wit.........
yeah, ok, I'm bitchy today ~ it's that very special lady' time for me, and whilst I tend not to suffer much from PMT (disclaimer: to verify the accuracy of this statement please consult my husband. His response may differ a jot) I am suffering a great deal from Lack of Being Pregnant. I'm less than 2 months away from what would have been my due date, and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to face the fact that I'm unlikely to be pregnant again by the time August rolls around. Last night I threw myself the mother of all pity parties: a good cry, a giant glass of wine, a Mars chocolate muffin and 'The best of Echo & the Bunnymen'. Do I know how to rock it, or what?
Anyhoo, I'm getting on with typing up the longhand drafts of the WIP during my lunch-hour at work, as the chappy who sits next to me is off on holiday and therefore no-one can see my screen (why is it that what's on someone elses screen always seems so fascinating? I HATE people looking at what I'm typing ~ it's like the evil little critic who perches on my shoulder made flesh!). And it's Friday which means its the weekend (oh joy), & I have acupuncture tonight, which is bound to make me feel better (thought I doubt listening to me wail "WHY?? WHY?? WHY?? Why am i not pregnant yet??????" for half an hour is going to be the finest possible start to acupuncture lady's weekend).

I am sorry. I know you'll have heard all the 'try to relax and then it will happen' advice, so I won't say it. (But it will, I'm sure.)
Those hats are just awful. Big showy off 'bunch of sozzled toffs and wannabes trying too hard to have 'fun'.
I've never got Ascot either and, like you, assume it's a toff thing! I feel silly wearing a hat to a wedding never mind a bathroom to the races!
Sorry about the no baby news but there's still July right? Have you got a holiday planned this year? From what I've read having the opportunity to relax and sleep and sun yourself and whatnot can help. There was an article in Now magazine this week on what you can do/eat to increase your fertility. No idea if any of it is scientifically proven but some bee pollen granules on your cereal (yes really according to the article!) wouldn't hurt! No idea where you'd get them though...
I think you get the bee pollen granules from, um, bees? Oh dear.
I wish there was something sensible or helpful I could say that would make you feel better. Mother Nature really can be quite a cow sometimes.
What a ridiculous looking hat. Surely in years to come she'll regret wearing something so idiotic.
I'm not surprised you feel crappy, it's horrible not being pregnant when you want to be so much. Life can stink sometimes.

Hi Kate, Your pity party sounds right up my street- except my wallow music of choice is Nick Cave. I can't think of anything to say which would possibly comfort you when you are so disappointed but if good wishes and positive thoughts help you'll be up the duff in no time. Take care.
Cofee dates are fine btw, thanks for organising it... all I've got to do now is think of a topic!
Ascot is just weird. So are those women.
A Mars Muffin? How did I not know that there was such a thing?
Take good care and I hope it happens for you .... soon. x
