Royal congratulations, indeed.

So, It was announced to the world less than 30 minutes ago and I can no longer count how many 'CONGRATULATIONS' related posts are all over my Facebook. Kate and William are having a baby. How lovely. I honestly wish them all the luck and health in the world, but from a selfish point of view, there goes the positivity of 2013.

It's bad enough seeing friends and family announce pregnancies, but a few days of ignoring Facebook and it's safe again. Not this. This will go on until the thing is born, and then when it's born there will be the royal announcement, the photo graphs, the banners, the fucking bone china commemorative plates. With this pregnancy there is no escaping it. So to say the bulk of our official fertility treatments will begin in 2013, having this go on along side should be fun.

I know, I'm a selfish moaning cow bag, but i'm having one of those weeks. Friday signalled a new member of the family being born and having to dodge the pictures, congratulations and comments flying around from every family member who has an internet presence,  then to just about get through the weekend for this to slap you in the face on a Monday just makes you want to stick the middle finger up at life. What have we actually dont wrong to you, huh??!!

I never realised how upsetting it can be to read comments from family member congratulate someone on the birth of their child when you know it should be you, you should be being congratulated, not sat on the other end of the laptop crying into another glass of wine and cursing the world.

Oh well, I now have another excuse to enjoy an alcoholic drink tonight after I get weighed for fat club. Through one of my support groups I was linked to a few of these images, for all my ladies (you know who you are) we might need thee words of encouragement over the next few months.

  2. We could all purchase the fine china, I could come over from the States on holiday, have a plate smashing party, then get pissed. Lol.

    It is very hurtful to read the comments, and see those pictures of when a new family member is born. All you can think is, "That should've been me". {Hugs}

    There should be some sort of Royal baby, Duchess filter, or blocking app.

  3. The last one is excellent. Very excellent indeed.

    As soon as I read about the Royal baby news, I thought of my British IF buds. That sucks so bad ladies. I still have a hunch she did IVF. Don't the Royals normally pop them out as soon as they're hitched?

    Sorry about all the family crap. :(

  4. Thanks ladies <3

    Does anyone know if you can set up blogspot to let you know when people have commented? I am not usually ignorant promise!

    Jax have you seen the mugs that have already been created?! It made me laugh its so ridiculous.

    The only silver lining is that we might get an extra bank holiday with the birth of this baby, that means a day off work to drink copious amounts of alcohol and curse the royals!

  5. I think Jax idea is an excellent one!!
    But maybe we can come to you and bring the china with us, instead of you having to be here listening and seeing all the Royal Baby crap??
