Guest Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I thought it was rhyming slang, you know like "it all went a bit Pete Tong" I was trying to work out what rhymed with Powell; foul, fowl, howl, bowel etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 At school last week one boy who obviously thinks he's a bit clever, decided, during a rant by the Art teacher, to "insult" her by saying *big cough to camouflage* "time of the month". He got hauled off to the AHT, but we all had a bit of a laugh once he'd gone. The Art teacher is 63 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he realised later on what a numpty he'd been. I love it when kids are trying to be smart and they trip themselves up like that! I once had a kid say something similar when I gave him a dressing-down - I was 6 months pregnant. Every girl in the class turned on him in amazement and he looked so sheepish afterwards. I didn't need to say a word. He was marched off the the Head of Year and apologised later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunty e Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Although of course I am now incapable of a moderate response to anything, and far worse than I ever was when it was that time of the month. I just ranted and cried for two hours because the sky man didn't turn up to fix my dish. Not one person warned me pregnancy would be like my worst bout of PMT ever, multiplied by ten and lasting nine months or that I would get spots mutter mutter mutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Don't worry E, you'll feel better soon and get to that time when you feel fantastic. I realy don't miss the periods at all TBH, the hormonal bit is still there, but gets less over time and those ghastly hot flushes have stopped. My daughter will be next!

jenuk99 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have been reading this thread and the older one and think its great and am very interested to try it. So I have been looking on the net to buy one and found that there are loads to choose from. I found Mooncup (obviously) Divacup Femmecup Instead Keeper Ladycup (also come in different colours) Lunette Miacup What I want to know is whats best as they vary in price and also what size as that does vary as well. I am 30 and have no children so which size do you recommend? Thanks in advance for your help Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hm, I hadn't realised there were several different makes! Looking at them, Instead appears to be a disposable diaphragm so not quite the same, and Keeper is the original version of Mooncup made with latex rubber. The others all look pretty much the same!

Blackrocksrock Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (sorry! - at 54 I can now laugh at it....a whole year now without having to think about it at all ) At 54 I was the same and after 20 months it came with a vengeance again for a week and only discovered recently that it was a Polyp - do not under any circumstance ladies fail to report to the doctor if you bleed a year after the last one. I failed to do so and only now 3 months later have had it removed and the threat of hysterectomy was looming on monday if things did not go well but they did!. I also had it biopsied 2 weeks ago and thankfully it was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
