By cuppa, she means wine of course....

miffles don't worry I'm still waiting, but I think the spotting is cranking up a notch. So not even sure I'll make it till Thursday. I've resigned myself to the inevitable, and had a humungous glass of wine tonight, so I'll be in for a big shock if this isn't what I think it is [hwink]

bless you, vallinna - you're on the pill. It's ok. It's a means to an end. But it's not likely that you'll get a BFP right now. Put on your fake tan and have a cuppa and watch a movie. It'll be ok. xx

Just POAS. No idea why.....home alone and saw them while hunting out the fake tan.

No prizes for guessing the result. I am an idiot.

It also says about EWCM (don't know why it doesnt call it pant snot!) and says it's crucial for the sperm to meet the egg. And clomid can dry you up, so the sperm has a harder time getting to the egg. She suggests some kind of cough medicine () but maybe milano's pre-seed is to help the same thing.

I was just nose-ing on another thread and came across an interesting link: here and the bit that BB won't want to read is this:

Do not buy internet pregnancy tests or tests that claim to work before your period is expected. They are not well manufactured and are not reliable. They will only cause you more anxiety than you already feel in wanting to know. Please resist the urge to do a blood test at your doctor's office just to find out sooner unless you have a medical reason to know early. Fertilized eggs that do not grow are actually a terrible but normal occurrence as much as 75% of the time, and seeing a very low put positive blood test in the first 14 days can place you on a terrible emotional roller coaster. By the time a home pregnancy test is positive, your baby has safely implanted and your odds of miscarriage are down to a normal 10%.

Whether it's true or not, don't know, but I like the sound of reducing my risk of miscarriage from 75% to 10%. Actually, the risk is the same, but you didn't know it happpened if you didn't test early! Nelly - lets keep waiting!!

ooooh chocolate and tea sounds good NMCB can I have Earl Grey please?

Mind you, I've just bought 2 tubs of Ben and Jerry's ice cream - only because it was 2 for £3 [hgrin]

aahhh....blame it on the baby you're growing! But I really am serious - how can a pudding self-sauce?!

What's rude is the giant number the scales shout back at you after eating it

singingmog - last time I was ID'd I was with my DH who clearly is old enough. I said - ok, no ID on me, but Mr Miffles can pay and he is clearly over 25. They then insisted on ID'ing him to make sure that was ok, but he didn't have a photo driving licence. He was mad!! We were buying a chicken to roast, with all the veg and dessert and a single bottle of white wine. Hardly the stuff of underage drinkers!!

TTL - are you my best friend from school?! Actually, I know you're not, as she is 26 weeks pg, but she had the exact same thing with her hair. She had a lovely straight bob, then had a disaster at the hairdressers (never did find out what it was meant to look like!). Short back and side with curls on top. She has always been curly since then! From one day to the next. Even when long, now, it is almost ringlets. [hhmm]

Drooling over choc fudge pudding - but how is it self-saucing? Sounds a bit rude...

Oh TTL I'm supermarket shopping tomorrow so that lemon meringue pie may still be in the offing. Though now I'm tending towards a self-saucing choc fudge pudding... (dribble everywhere emoticon)

Wish someone would ID me. Guess at 31 27 I'm far to grey and wrinkled to bother with [hsad] You should have said some thing to the effect of It's because of these that I need this [saucy and

TTL, can't believe the Sainsbury's checkout people did that! Is nasty! The last time I was ID-ed I was about 29 I think. Was with DH and they said if I was paying for beer would need ID, but if he paid was OK. This obviously didn't go down well with DH!!!

Crow am sure will be easier when you're in your own place. You love the virtual hugs really [hsmile]

Josie, so glad you like your short hair. I only ever cried once after a hair cut after they made it go a horrific colour!

Fingers crossed for all the sticky beans xxx

Good news about the lack of periods today. Def not going anby where til Mif's and Nervous have wee'd on sticks.

Am weeing on a Dr's stick in the morning to make sure the line is stronger [hgrin] It makes getting out of bed early sound very worth while for a change (am NOT a morning person!).

KC if I were you I wouldn't want to touch/jinx my hair either!
I am rather happy that my fat, thick, random hair has now been tamed so that it curls and looks good (and a bit less huge) with just a bit of finger twirling. I'll be the one looking good when the power goes out - evil[hgrin]
It's good you're happy with your new do though Josie. I've cried after many a hair butchering cut so feel your pain.

Hmm, offers Crow a slab of chocolate and cup of tea in place of hugs and kisses.

KC it really is so important. Obviously not the same as you, but I have really really low self esteem and when I was in school I had it cut into an absolutely horrendous cut and I cried my eyes out at school as everyone took the mick out of me and my confidence plummeted and ever since then I've been really self-conscious about my hair and it's been the same style for the past 7 years (since it grew back out) so it was a big big step to trust my hairdresser to change the style but I'm really glad I did it, though having hair as thick as mine means it's difficult to straighten, hence the GHDs.

Miffles I thought that might be the case but I have my heart set on them now! I have a reputation for getting what I want [hblush] (except the obvious but no-one knows I want it [hgrin])

Josie - be warned. Once you have used GHDs you will never want to go back. Never. Nothing ever matches up to them!

KC - that sucks! I'm sure she didn't mean it at all like that, but not the most sensitive comment in the world. [hshock]

Hair is so important. Bit of a revelation here but I had no hair for nearly twenty years. Childhood alopecia. It all grew back three years ago. I now have longish hair that reaches level with my bra. I dare not colour it or perm it cos i'm scared it might fall out. My mum said yesterday (whilst watching Coronation Street): Why don't you have your hair cut into a style like Becky MacDonald's? I'm not offended but does that mean she doesn't like how my hair is now? Twenty frigging years with no hair and now she seems to be suggesting that i could "do more with my hair".

Cross post Frakk, that's a fab way of looking at it! Will run that one past DH!

Thanks TTL and Miffles. DH always said he hates short hair but it's still quite long so he was quite surprised, as was I actually. I was worried I'd look too masculine (huge self esteem issues [hgrin]) but I still look and feel girly, and have enough hair left that I can put extensions in if I fancy a change.

GHDs are so expensive I really can't justify them but I neeeeeeed some!!! My boss is going to bring hers in tomorrow and do my hair so I can see how much better than my current straighteners they are [hgrin]

Think of the investment in pay-per-use terms. If you use them every day how long would it take you to get them down to costing £1 or 50p or even 5p?

I have a curling wand that's still at about £75/use (got it for my wedding) but my GHDs are getting very cheap/use.

GHDs rock. Best thing ever! Your DH sounds sweet, Josie - its always worrying when we change something, whether they'll like it or not.

(still no AF)

Afternoon everyone, my I?ve got a lot to catch up on, will try my best to keep up!

Hi Dynababy (waves), I know you?ve been here a while but I?ve been absent this weekend.

Glad the pgs are sticking so far

Sorry to anyone I?ve missed

I went for a bob in the end with the back a teeny bit higher. It?s not massively short ? a bit past my chin but not quite to my shoulders, kind of collarbone length . I loved it up until I attempted to do it myself, then I actually cried as it all flicked out and I couldn?t get it to behave, but after a stern talking to by DH and being attacked with hair straighteners ?tis all good [hgrin], and DH loves it. His first words were ?you look gorgeous?, how sweet! Have also persuaded him that GHDs are a valid investment and not at all a luxury [hgrin]
