We're taking the train...some now boarding, some delays, some still standing on the platform! TTC 'Waiters' IIT!

I just wish they understood what the uncertainty is like for us. DH has put it off for another year (supposedly) but that's not actually his timetable for ttc, it's just a way of putting it back, maybe indefinitely.

With all this business with your meds you more than anyone need to know where you stand. At the moment you risk getting ill just trying to find out, which is silly.

I hope the weather clears up for you. Is it your birthday today or on Monday? I can't remember whether it's the day before or the day after mine.

Morning Bebe are you up yet? You usually are up at this godless hour. Just wondering how you're feeling now. I don't know how long this uncertainty is going to go on for for you, or how much your DH thinks you can take. They just don't get it do they? If we could knock some sense into him for you, believe me we would!

WYorks whatever you do don't pose around in it in the house, I kept putting mine on until I spilt something down it and it had to be dry cleaned! It'll be here before you know it!

My friend found out today she is having a little boy! Very exciting text message! Not jealous honest!

I know! How rubbish! It was 2003 when I took the loan out, maternity leave was the last thing on my mind!

Oh, that's rubbish AC, i hope you manage to get something sorted.
bebe, i hope your B12 leveles are ok.

Just had a little party for colleagues new baby and i got a hold so am even more broody if that is possible. Someone asked me if i was going to try for a baby after the wedding. My answer of "ummm maybe" followed by a blush gave it away i think :-) She replied with "that means yes" . Oops.

Hopefully going to pick up my wedding dress tomorrow, It is 22 days, 0 hours, 31 minutes to go :o

Happy Friday Bebe!

Just had the call from the bank. No repayment holidays allowed. Restructuring the loan would cost a lot of money. .

Was that @ me? No no no I was just explaining. Bit confusing as we used to be the waiting thread and now there's not really a waiting thread as such.

Oops- sorry I really did not mean any offence by my comment, I knew from reading the thread and the thread title that some people were ttc, it was just my (obviously rubbish!) attempt at humour.

Just going to polish off a glass of wine as I'm knackered! X

hey all just wanted to say havnt been able to say hello as my internet has been broke all day or i thought it was till i realised id pulled the plug out to put my hairdyer in (stupid icon)

bebe sorry but had ro laugh at your DD the things toddlers do they def make life interesting hehe

well wont be on here for a while as got to hand this laptop bout to work :( and will have to go searching for a cheap notebook tomoro i think, speak to u all soon

Yay, congratulations JS, wish i could do that!

On a positive note i get to leave work early today. On a negative one it's because i have a smear test, lovely eh?! Actually, am quite pleased with the timing, just hope the results don't take ages as would rather have them before starting TTC!

Later i will be visiting Mothercare for the first time in order to buy a colleague a present. We are having a baby shower for her tomorrow. At least it was supposed to be a shower, little 'un showed up early so we had to postpone it and will be wetting his head instead :) I fully expect to go very, very gooey.

Congratulations JS! There's few things better in life than resigning from a job you hate, it's quite a unique feeling isn't it. Well done you - your hard work and persistence have obviously paid off.

I need some help with hard work and persistence this morning....[confused}

Bebe glad you sound a bit more buoyant this morning. Painting sounds a lot more fun that what I have to do this morning which is some do some really dry research and put it on a spreadsheet. Will you do my spreadsheet and I'll do your mess?!

Have you told your DH exactly how you feel? When you put it down in black and white like that the issues seem so clear. It's like he's letting your MS (or rather his fear about it) stand in the way of completing your family, whereas you see it as a fact of life but one that you can create a happy family around. It must be so frustrating for you that he's lagging behind you in coming to terms with the condition when you seem to be managing to take it in your stride - especially when really you all want the same thing! His anxieties about money and looking after you all must be adding to his fear about it - but taking your side, that is quite a small and temporary thing in comparison with bringing a sibling into the picture for the long-term, which is obviously the most important thing for you. It's really really difficult when you can't bring your perspectives into line isn't it?

In other news my DP is in the doghouse as he has taken the car key to France when he knew I needed it to drive 4 people to a weekend party to avoid the huge train fares!! Apparently there is some plan afoot to get someone to bring it back.

Indeed it did! I handed in my notice last night and am feeling brilliant today :) Also assisted by the fact that today is my Friday and next week is a 4 day one too. Hurrah!!!

bebe sorry that you are having such a crappy time at the moment. Lots of ears here to listen to rants etc so moan away.

Oh dear. That's not really the response you want, is it?
OK, I hope you don't mind me interpreting his remark (say if you think I'm off the mark) but FWIW, it sounds like he's really anxious about the possibility of you relapsing? I imagine it must have been a really difficult and scary time for him too when you were ill? Maybe what he really means is that he wants to tell you off and he's not happy you're not on your meds? Because it makes him worried? Maybe his fear (whether it's rational or not) is making it difficult for him to support you in this decision, and by extension to get on to really discussing TTC?

Obviously that wouldn't excuse him being this way, because it's your body and he needs to find a way to be more supportive of your decisions. (I hope you don't take that as a criticism of him, it isn't meant as one). But I wondered if the two things (you being ill and you TTC/having another baby) are all tied up together for him in a way that they're not for you because you've separated out the two and are being more pragmatic about your MS?

Anyway, feel free to tell me if I'm way off the mark. It does sound like a strange thing to say! Hope George and Jake are being more understanding!

Evening all.

Hope you are all OK.

Well the plumber man from the plumber company is coming around here anytime after 6pm, so I'm hoping we will then have hot water. It will be ace if he fixes it tonight as we will then be able to come home to hot water on Sunday.

We are away tomorrow for 4 days, so I will be catching up when we get back. My friend txt me today, get pg while you are away please I need some good news, I said I would do my best for her!!! My mum asked if we were trying and I said no I don't want the pressure if it takes a long time, I know she will understand if I turn around in a few months and say actually we were but I didn't want to say anything at the time!

Am so looking forward to the break away. Mmmm.

OH was talking about when we are old the other day, I want to keep him forever :o

Arghhhh - still waiting for the contract to come through. It is awaiting the HR Director's signature and I really don't want to resign without a formal contract in my hand.

Hopefully I will get it through this afternoon as BFH is out pretty much all tomorrow and so I won't be able to do it then. I'm on holibobs on Friday and Monday so unless it comes through today I won't be resigning until Tuesday of next week :(

Bebe ouch - definitely an excuse to go back to bed for the afternoon. Wish I could do that but I'm stuck here waiting........

AC good luck. This could be a lucky thread for TTC and job hunting!
