JS all the best for the interview tomorrow. Hopefully your bad throat will clear up in time.

AmandaCooper · 20/09/2010 20:17

Hi everyone! A busy day on the train! Sorry I have been AWOL I just finished work. I took the pill this morning, so that's the end of that. I wish I hadn't suddenly had all that EWCF, it was really weird timing. It looked very favourable for conception.

Glad you enjoyed yourself at the weekend, Strawberry. It sounds like you did it justice!

Bebe so cute about your DD (little Waterloo) she sounds so adorable.

JustShaggingForNow · 20/09/2010 13:56

Mmmmmmmmm Banoffee.......... Grin

AC sending your hugs - hope that you are ok and are not being forced into anything you don;t want to do.

bebejones · 20/09/2010 13:53

JS - she has been making me massively broody lately, she is always really snuggly when she is poorly & it's so nice!

Squirrel - welcome back! :) Not long now!

Strawberry - glad you had a good weekend!

Am seeing my friend and her new baby on Thursday....can't wait to have newborn baby cuddles! :o

AC - how are you doing?

sorry forgot- Hi WYorksLass! :)

Hi everyone!

The birthday weekend went really well, everyone had a good time! The weather was ok for the friday night and the activities on Saturday were fab. The bbq on Sat went really well (despite the rain!) and the Jamie Oliver chicken recipe made a big impression! I am sooooooo tired now though :)

I also had some lovely cuddles from the two babies who came (plus lots of "grandchildren would be lovely, hint hint " comments from DP's mum!)

Have you taken the levonelle AC? Bit of a dilemma......

Well done for the 2lbs Bebe! I've managed to lose weight this week as well- I think I was so busy running round making sure everyone was happy that I didn't actually have much time to eat the pavlova, banoffee pie, choc cake, etc etc :)

Good luck with the interview JS :)

Hi, how are you all? I have finally managed to catch up with this thread :)

js good luck with the interview! Your boss sounds awful, really hope you can get away from him.

AC sorry to hear about your situation :( I really don't think it's fair on your dh to insist on the map after the event, but hope you can use the chance to talk some more.

Hi wyorkslass :) hope you're enjoying the wedding planning!!

Hi bebe, jbells, mummyinwaiting, 100years and everyone else!

I was supposed to be using the waiting to get fitter, but in recent weeks I completely lost my motivation. Strange, as I love running! Am going to try really hard to get back into it. But I realise now that there are only 2 weeks till I get my coil out - eeek! Just have to get a business trip out of the way next week, and then we're all set!

JustShaggingForNow · 20/09/2010 11:06

bebe just seem your diet jeans photo - AMAZING!!!!! Well done you :)

JustShaggingForNow · 20/09/2010 11:06

and I bet watching her dance away made you even more broody - what a cutie!!!

bebejones · 20/09/2010 11:03

She has a very ecclectic musical taste my daughter! :o Her favourite song is Dizzee Rascal, Bonkers! But she is also very fond of some Guns n Roses, Oasis & Dolly Parton! :o

Love that OCS track though, inspired choice!

JustShaggingForNow · 20/09/2010 10:59

bebe I loved cooking with my mum too! Best way to learn!! Love that your DD is daning away to OCS - super cute!!!!

bebejones · 20/09/2010 10:56

JS - YES!!!! Love it! DD is dancing round the living room like a loon! :o

JS, I know what you mean about the running thing. I took up running about 6 years ago having hated exercise like you. I was hooked on it and pretty fit, i did a couple of marathons and Triathlons and loved it. Anyway, this time last year i did a big triatlon and most of my time got taken up training for it. I said after i'd done it i would just exercise when i felt like it. Consequently i've done very little in the last year and the last time i went running was a couple of months ago i think. I'm a member of the local running club but am no longer up to the distance/speed i used to be so daren't go. Silly, i know! Anyway, enough of my rambling, you've inspired me to go out for a little jog tonight, thanks :)

bebejones · 20/09/2010 10:54

JS - I lack the motivation to go running Hmm
I love cooking, but not fancy stuff! I do (In DHs opinion) make the best banana bread/muffins in the whole world! :o DD likes helping, sometimes, although she gets upset when it's time to stop stirring! She helped me make bread the other day & was surprisingly good at kneading! I am so biased but she is being especially cute this morning & keeps giving me kisses! :) Ask me later & she'll probably be doing my head in!

WYorksLass I am also using the waiting period to get fitter. Started running about 6 weeks ago (I hated running or any kind of exercise!!) and am now really enjoying it. My DSis who is a very good runner told me it would take 3 weeks to get hooked on the endorphins and she was so right. If you can run regularly for 3 weeks then I promise you will start to enjoy it and it won't be a chore.

Bebe banana muffins sounds amazing! you are a veritable domestic goddess arenlt you!?? Does DD like baking?

bebejones · 20/09/2010 10:44

I blame the pill entirely for my initial weight gain. Once I stopped I was so used to eating loads that I just kept going. Blush
Of course I then piled even more on when I was PG, once I figured that the only way not to be sick was to eat....oooops!! I have used my much extended waiting period to get fitter & lose weight, has helped keep my mind off things a little bit & also I have the best incentive to keep going!

OP posts:
WYorksLass · 20/09/2010 10:32

The virtual ones probably aren't as tasty though. Maybe we should have both just to see :)

I had intended using this waiting period to get a bit fitter but it doesn't seem to be happening, there is always something more fun to be doing! Although on a good note (i think) stopping the pill has reduced my appetite somewhat.

bebejones · 20/09/2010 10:23

Xposts WYorks - Have actually just made banana muffins, but the virtual blueberry one is probably better for my diet! Wink

OP posts:
bebejones · 20/09/2010 10:22

Glad your boss is being nice JS, maybe lay it on really thick & make him feel so bad he lets you leave early!! Wink

AC - how confusing although it is possible to OV twice in a cycle....Hmm

OP posts:
WYorksLass · 20/09/2010 10:21

Hi all, thanks for the lovely welcome. This train looks very luxurious. I'll just settle into this comfy armchair in the waiting room with a Mocha and a blueberry muffin. There's a few spare if anyone wants one.

JustShaggingForNow · 20/09/2010 10:17

just realised that didn't make sense. I meant that my boss was feeling bad that I was in the office and so is being nice to me today!

JustShaggingForNow · 20/09/2010 10:13

Oh AC don't take it before you have thought everything through. It could be a sign that it is your time to conceive...... these things happen for a reason (I'm a big believer in fate)

Thanks bebe boss just arived and clocked the voice so feeling a bit bad I think as he is being nice.

AmandaCooper · 20/09/2010 09:50

Haven't taken it yet but just went to the loo and have the most extreme EWCF ever! That's a surprising development!

bebejones · 20/09/2010 09:44

Lots of honey & lemon for you today! Fingers crossed for 2moro, really hope you get it too!
