Jbells - never tried the OV sticks either, but thought I'd give them a whirl! :o Sorry you have had a rubbish day, I hate days like that!

JS - even the thought of all that running makes me tired and achey! Wink

Strawberrypie - no one has ever made me breakfast in bed either! :( I am so hoping I will be TTC Jan coz Id love to have some 'friends' when I do!

Hoping DHs week improves coz if today is anything to go by I'm just going to be all upset again come Friday's talk! Positive financial/business thoughts please! Wink

Sounds like youve had a lovely day pjd, how old is your lil one?

strawberry, thats the time i hoping to ttc :) if my dp sways to the idea

strawberrypie · 17/08/2010 19:55

We all have days like that jbells I know I do! Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Js you are going great guns with the running! ....London 2012 watch out!

I wish I could say something that would help you amanda. I'm rubbish at advice :( but you are not alone and you can always share your feelings with us.

bebe I'm crossing my fingers for your chat on Friday! I really want you to be a TTC buddy come Jan!

ps nannyl.........I'm still Envy about your breakfast in bed! I'm hoping that if I do have children, one mothers day when they can reach the toaster they will do this for me because no-one else ever has!

pjd · 17/08/2010 19:34

Sorry to hear you've had a crap day jbells, it's so horrible when DCs are ill, isn't it? I always feel totally useless. And I don't suppose arguing with DH helped much.

I've taken DS for his first ever trip to the seaside today.....he was a bit wary of the water at first, but loved it by the time we left and has gone to bed clutching two stones he brought home from the beach! It's times like those I think I want another one right now, why wait? as whywait might say! But it's taken long enough for DH to come round to agreeing to having a number 2 with around a 3-year age gap, so better not push my luck!

jbells · 17/08/2010 19:26

sounds like lots of chocolate and cakes has been shared today :)
AC- hope things are going better for u today

BEBE- thats good that ov sticks have arrived ive never used them r they any good?

I have had a horrible day complete oposite to day yest, have spent the entire day argueing with dp, hate him right now, which def wont help my plee to have dc2, dd has been really poorly and has done nothing but cough her guts up feel so sorry for her and so guilty when shes ill :(

Hope everybody else has had a better day

JustShaggingForNow · 17/08/2010 16:27

Hmm now have a serious chocolate brownie craving!

I'll be fine, thanks for the hugs! :) Just wish he didn't keep changing his mind everytime we get close! Thinking this wobble is work induced, so maybe if work improves he'll chenge his mind! This after all is the man who wanted 5 children when we got married! Confused

JustShaggingForNow · 17/08/2010 15:38

Yup - I baked lots of it for all of us who are trying to get fit for TTC!!

Just read an article that 2 cups of coffee before exercise can help burn fat....... www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article856751.ece so that double espresso I had to keep my eyes open after a big lunch will also help me burn it off on my run home tonight! Bonus!!! Grin

I'm not sure if I'm excited about them arriving or not Confused after the crappiness of the weekend conversation with DH! Hmm Can't try them out yet anyway and don't want to waste them, only got 30! :o

Going to wait til Friday & suggest stopping jabs until end Jan so I can be ready if he feels he is. Hmm I hate not being able to be spontaneous about TTC like we were last time! :( Stoooooopid MS! Angry Wink

Yeah - GBK is the Gourmet Burger Kitchen AMAZING burgers! Yummy!!!

Going to have to have a breadless one but that means I can eat more chips right?!?!? I am so hungry today. Had a small bowl of pasta last night but only had fruit so far today and the though of waiting until 1pm to go for lunch is a nightmare..... may have to sneak out early :)

bebe it sounds like you have had a busy morning..... vvvvv exciting that the Ov sticks have arrived!!!

AC - :( Fingers crossed for you that your DH can make a decision fairly soon. Know what its like to be left hanging!

JS - never heard of GBK, is it a London thing?

WhyWait - how exciting that your DH made a decision! Hope you can sort out medication soon.

Have had a busy morning. Went to Tesco. Been to baby clinic (more like baby cattle market...hate it) to get DD weighed. Then toddler music class. Then to the vets. Come home to find my OV sticks have arrived. Will hide them from DH. Thankfully the EXP date on them is March 2012, hoping I get round to using them before then!

Morning ladies!!
That was a lot of chat last night! I had a manic evening. Ran home again (feeling very please with myself about that as I have been known to get bored with exercise kicks pretty fast!!), jumped in the shower, did some more painting in the living room, threw a quick bowl of pasta down my neck, ironed a huge pile of DH's shirts, 30 mins of yoga and then bed...... My body was shattered but my mind was whirring away thinking about babies and such like....!!! Off to GBK for lunch with the new secretary in the office as my boss is away.... Mmmmmmmmmm chips!!!

nannyl · 17/08/2010 08:39

Good morning all.

grr amanda lets hope your DH makes up his mind soon...

just wanted to say my best friend from home is visiting and arrives today for a week, so i probably wont be around much, but will catch up when i can. Smile

Hope you all have a good week, and that these confused DH's make up their minds about having children Smile

AmandaCooper · 16/08/2010 21:53

I don't think DH knows what he wants, he says different things from one day to the next.

strawberrypie · 16/08/2010 21:48

AC I thought your OH always imagined having two DC but was unsure of when to start? Has he changed his mind or have I got it wrong?

AmandaCooper · 16/08/2010 21:36

Doesn't want to at all and can't imagine changing his mind. He thinks his life would be over basically. But he wouldn't go as far as to have a vasectomy at this stage.

takingtheplunge · 16/08/2010 21:29

and what's his current thinking on ttc?

AmandaCooper · 16/08/2010 21:26

At the end of the day it's all going to come down to what DH wants.
