oooh im so excited hopefully we are the first of many on this thread :)

JS- also great news on job front

bebe- hope things settle down for u soon, and fingers crossed OH will get onboard trying, i do agree that i doubt one more will cost that much more

s007 that is AMAZING news!!

What a happy train we are today :)

Hi all! Well I have exciting news - AF still hadn't turned up this morning so I decided to do another test. This one gave me a faint positive both DH and I are a bit surprised, and I don't think I believe it yet! So guess I won't be joining you on the august bus 100years, after you kindly saved me a place!

bebe think I understand your drugs - was hoping you didn't have to go back on the ones you'd given up and have to delay ttc some more.

thecake know what you mean, my dress is hanging in the spare room wardrobe and it seems such a long time since I wore it. I keep meaning to get it dry cleaned.

jbells sounds like your DH needs to stop lazing and get on with the housework!

wyorkslass your hen do sounds fab :) I loved go ape when I went last year - went to one in a safari park and it was quite weird going down the zip wire with animals making noises in the background!

js Hope you enjoyed the gig :) and huge congratulations on the new job!!! Are you going to resign today?

ac I've never been to a Muslim wedding, but I imagine something colourful would be a good choice.

Exciting times for everybody on here.
I also have some exciting news. not TTC related sadly but almost as good.......
They have offered me the job! No contract yet, it's on it's way, but as soon as it arrives I can hand in my notice here (which will be fantastic!!) and start working on my relocation plan!!!

AC there are Go Apes all over the country but we went to the Dalby Forest (North Yorkshire) one as it is near my Parents house and one of the nearest to me.

I'm loving the Spa carriage. I'd never been to a Spa before so it was all new to me and lovely. It was funny, my mum was looking over my shoulder as i filled in the form there. I'm sure she was watching me tick the 'I am not pregnant' and the 'I am not taking any medication box'. She knows i was on the pill so wonder what she will make of that :) Several times over the weekend i kept thinking, "good job i'm not pregnant yet" as i wouldn't have been able to do Go Ape, the Spa or the alcohol :)

OH and i had another TTC chat last night and he was suggesting that we start now! I pointed out that i wanted drinks at the wedding and did not want to be puking up on Honeymoon. He got that so we agreed to definitely ditch the condoms after AF's next visit which will be a few days before the wedding :-) He seems really excited and was asking about due dates etc :)

Hey everyone.

Bet I win the post for the most obscure time to post in the thread!!!

I'm just home from work and I'm not ready to go to bed after taking a horrible call as my last call of the night so I am just trying to sort my head out before I try to sleep.

It's getting busy in here at the moment, this is good :o

AF is nearly gone and I was right when I said to OH a month ago that we wouldn't be taking condoms with us on holiday! TMI

Someone at work tonight was chatting with me, I was saying about how my OH keeps on talking about 'when we're old' eg in our 60s together and stuff like this. She mentioned the fact there needs to be a wedding and babies before then, I laughed, she asked about the wedding of which I said none was planned then she asked if we had discussed children, yep, she asked when I wanted them "now" and when OH wanted them "now" my reply to her are we trying was not very convincing at all - oops - ah well, she won't say anything. Was nice to chat about it though and she gets broody but she says she is no where near ready for them, she is 22/23 at the moment, but she loves other peoples and would be so excited if I said I was!

the cake
I was also depressed to have my lights on on the way to and from schoo, today

Hello All,

Its been very busy on here! Im worried I will not be able to keep up

JBells I teach in Heswall so am even closer!

Sq100 Does it feel like your wedding never happened now? My dress is hanging up on the back of my bedroom door still covered in grass stains - I'm too lazy to get it dry cleaned.

AC I know someone who went to a Muslim wedding and they wore a nice dress - but not strapless although it was just above knee length and tight!

First day back to work after half term was not as bad as I thought - although it was miserable coming home in the dark

Hello

JS hope you hear something soon. (think its very mean of them to keep you waiitng so long!)

bebe sorry to hear leg is gettin worse

100 enjoy your hols

AC sorry never been to a muslim wedding either so no idea.

Been a good girl on day 1 of diet... had a whole tin of heroes bought into our classroom, (1 each for the 18 children, and the rest for us 3 teachers) and i havent (and have said i wont) eat any! also avoided a load of extra special biscuits in the staff room
We'll see if i can keep it up all week!
Being good at avoiding snacking on crap this evening as well
want to gte rid of half a stone before TTC... i figure it will be easier to get down to a reasonable weight after a baby if i at least START at a reasonable weight!
Also survived with tick-tock tea instead of earl grey

AC- cant help on that one never been to a muslim wedding, do u know anyone else that is going?

wyorklass- your hen nite sounds fab, i love the spa, very very rarely have been but its so nice to relax- i have booked me and my mum a spa day for xmas :)

JS- fingers crossed for u cant believe there taking so long to giv u a def answer

bebe- hope your feeling ok and the numbness has gone, to be honest i think most men r rubbish with housework lol i just think sometimes he thinks the fairies do things like clean the windows, dust everywhere, clean the bathroom etc haha if only

well i had a nice day today with a friend and her DS we went up to the cheshire ice cream farm and spent the day there, i am now exhausted tho and seriously debating a takeaway even tho i know i shudnt i have ate far to much junk food lately

Oh by the way has anyone been to a Muslim wedding? DH and I have been invited to one next week. DH is a friend of the groom. I don't know what to wear! I've been told (by the groom) to wear "whatever you'd normally wear to a wedding" but I'm not too convinced.

Oh JS no! I skimmed through thinking you would definitely know by now. It's awful leaving you waiting like this. Let us know as soon as you have news. My fingers are firmly crossed for you.

I had a meeting this lunchtime with another recruitment shark consultant, who had quite an interesting vacancy he's going to put me forward for. Not sure about it yet but I always think you can try for nothing. Good family friendly policies apparently!

Imagine if you and Quod are going to the same gig lol!

WYorkslass I second that about your hen do, it sounds amazing. Spa breaks are so nice. In fact shall we hook up a spa carriage so that we can all chill out in the sauna?! Where is GoApe?

Still nothing over here.......
it has now been 3 hours since they asked for my feedback and I have heard nothing back from them. Am thinking that this is going to be yet another rejection which is a horrible thought as I have been clinging to the hope that this one is going to go well :(

Quod - it's a really small gig in Islington. A friend is playing and she is amazing (check her out on iTunes "Marie Naffah" as she is really talented) Possibly not the smae one you are going to!!!

JS fingers crossed over here for you too.
What gig are you going to tonight btw? Wonder if it's the same one I'm going to!

WYorks your hen do sounds great!

Am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you js, must be nervewracking having to wait so long.

It's taken me so long to catch up that i'm afraid i can't remember who said what, sorry!
Jbells i'm really glad your scan went well, shame about the picture though.
Welcome to thecake as well.

Well, this is our month :) 26 days until we get married and start TTC. I am ridiculously excited, i don't think i'll be able to sleep for a while!

This weekend was my Hen do organised by my sister. It was fantastic. We started off by going to Go Ape which i loved even though i was terrified. We then went out for the night and had a few cocktails and did lots of dancing to cheesy music. The next morning we were picked up by Limo and driven to a health Spa where i had a facial and massage as well as sauna, steam room etc. I can honestly say i have never drunk champagne at 10.30 am until now :) I am very achey and tired now though.

I have vastly reduced my alcohol consumption lately, partly for TTC and partly because i can't be doing with hangovers any more.

Thanks bebe I will also keep my fingers crossed for you on the TTC front! I had a call from the recruiter asking for my feedback but with no info for me...... Ummmmmm - CALL ME WHEN YOU HAVE AN ANSWER AND NOT BEFORE!!! Let's hope that they come back to me soon as these nerves are making me feel soooooooo sick!!!

nannyl at no booze for 6 years and also at only 20 units in 2010........ I am a little ashamed to say that I think I may have drunk more than that on my work do on Thursday..... Oops!!!

It sounds like everybody has had busy weekends. Sorry that I am so crap on keeping up to date with everybody's progress, I am sturggling with a little {envy} of all those so close to TTC at the moment and so not on here as often as normal. I am sure that once my career issues are resolved I will fee a bit more inclined to come on here and hear all the exciting news!!

bebe So sorry to hear that you think you may be relapsing. Is there any way that this may persuade your DH to try now rather than wait? (I seem to remember you saying that pregnancy decreases your risk of things being bad)

jbells Sorry to hear that your DP is being a pain in the arse on the housework front. Well done you for putting your foot down and taking a rest!

100 yay for Holibobs! I am off on Friday for a long weekend in Devon with DH, my parents and DSis. Should be really nice as we've not all got together for a long time!

I had my 2nd interview this morning..... FINALLY!! Have no idea how it went to be honest. We got on very well but it was hard to tell if I was what they were expecting or looking for...... I hope to hear something today so will have to wait and see what happens. We're off to a gig tonight and so if I get a "YES" then we'll be celebrating and I'll be handing in my notice tomorrow (Hurrah!!!)

so got very angry with DP yest, i was up with dd while he lazed in bed till ten erm im the one whos pregnant and needs rest a lil bit of help wud be nice, then went to my nans for an hr with DD thought while i was out the house for an hr he mite change the bes, wash sum dishes mayb tidy up, but no came in and nothing had been touched, asked him wot he had done for the past hr and a half nothing he replied looking at me as if i was stupid lol

im sure he thinks this house cleans itself, i know he works but still at the wkend wud be nice to get some help

in response i (in a very grown up way told him to look afta DD i was going to bed and took myself up for a rest lol

apart from that had a nice wkend, debating booking a holiday to the algarve for this month just worried it mite rain the whole time we are there

hey ladies

so a lot to catch up on from the weekend

nannyl y- not drinking for 6 years [shocked] i dont drink anyway so this is not the shocking part but just wondering how many kids u r planning in these 6 years hehe, i wish my DP wud be like that when im hormonal mayb i can send him round to get some tips :)

bebe- funny u shud say about the cake i am actually just baking one now while DD is napping not fat free tho im afraid hehe, i quite like mondays know it sounds awfull but quite like having the house to myself afta the wkend with dp off we also got no trick or treaters

thecake- ooh i live not far from u, just over the water in wallasey but my DP is originall from west derby in liverpool

100years- i wish my DP wud be like that when im hormonal mayb i can send him round to get some tips :)

AC- wish i had a nice halloween party to go to hadnt been to one in years

AC thanks, yep am def looking forward to the holiday :) Only a few days, need to do packing and I'm not here very much at all in the next few days.

bebe nope not long at all :) And I'll have a slice of cake, it might be the only chocolate I can have as it normally gives me migraines.

Quod sadly I was at work yesterday, so no niceness for me at all!

nanny yeah I've stopped drinking now, not that I drank much at all, I think I've had about 20 units this year altogether, but I really fancied a pint the other night but obviously this was pre AF so I stopped myself. I think I will be fine with the not drinking at all thing. I don't take caffeine anyway, so I'm not exactly feeling like I'm giving stuff up, not much alcohol and no caffeine and I'm still a whole lot of fun :o

Right so update on my stuff from yesterday:
The cramps were much better yesterday and only a little bit here today, :o
We still have no hot water, so I will be attempting a cold shower in a little while as I can't stand being skanky.
The sink can be sealed and will hopefully be OK, landlady seemed to be OK about it.
The front door is still broken, the people have rung me this morning and said they will get it fixed today as no one was available yesterday.
My sinuses are a bit better today
And it's still only a few days till I go away. :o
I was proper cranky pants last night when I got home, managed to try and argue with everything my OH was saying and I showed my displeasure at the shower situation by grumping about how smelly I felt - which I am not apparently!!! He was fine with me and was like well I'm all chilled there isn't anything you can say or do to stop that and I'm quite OK with you being hormonal so carry on if you like. But he said it in a really sweet way and I stopped being so grumpy with him.

I'm working tonight and tomorrow night and then got appointments on Wednesday so not much time at home to pack for the holibobs, but also not much time to wait either. :o
