I'm back! Xmas Grin

DD is screaming! She 'can't sleep' Hmm I am being mean mummy & leaving her! Although I know she is trying to make herself sick!! She was a little madam all weekend! Especially Saturday night! She has a slight cold & is playing on it big time!

DH has gone into her now (soft touch)! He is making up a bedtime story that begins 'A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...'! :o

JBells - So nice to hear that you are now feeling little kicks! So nice and reassuring isn't it? :)

Fingers crossed for you WYorks! Sending sticky thoughts!!

100 - glad you are feeling better & fit enough to SWI! Wink I think the more relaxed you are the better, sure it helps! :)

Forgot to do OPKs coz it's been a manic weekend. Dont think I'm past it yet! Confused

100years · 13/12/2010 16:14

Hello Ladies

How are we all???

jbells - lovely news to hear that you have been feeling little kicks Xmas Smile

Good Luck Wyorks - fingers crossed

Loads to catch up on, and I'm sorry I'm not messaging you all individually.

Well I had a lovely weekend, saw a few friends, had a chill out, had a few meals out and had some lovely presents.

Had some SWI action over the weekend!!! LOL. I feel ridiculously chilled about it this month, I just don't feel that it's going to be this month and I'm not even past ov, but I just feel like it's not happening yet, weirdly, although I really really want it, had a dream last night that AF arrived, well we shall wait and see.

Just about to have some time with OH and do some Christmas present wrapping.

The lurgy is mostly gone, just the dregs of it left now, I'm hoping to start some exercise again soon Xmas Grin

AmandaCooper · 13/12/2010 15:45

How amazing to feel little kicks!

Fingers are crossed WYorks!

bebeinamanger · 13/12/2010 13:07

Just popping on to wave! Will be back later! :)

WYorksLass · 13/12/2010 09:24

Wow, jbells, that's so exciting! I can't wait for that either :)

Well, it's CD21 here and i am either going mad or up the duff! The mad thing is quite likely, it's happened before Grin
Abdominal cramps are ongoing
I am still tired
I've had backache, headache and mild nausea on and off over the weekend, not necessaraily at the same time.
Probably TMI but had more CM than usual at this point in a month yesterday.
I have a feeling!
Oh yes and i've had heartburn twice in the last week, i hardly ever get it.

Anyway, please all cross your fingers that i am right/it sticks.

AstroZola · 12/12/2010 21:14

jbells - I'm glad someone knows how i feel...I'm going to let my hair down at the works Xmas party this Saturday. I didn't go out on Friday in the end. Did pick OH up at 3am though!!!

I am so very excited for you as well for the kicks...I'm so excited to experience it all for myself. I can't wait. xxx

We've booked a hotel room for during my works Xmas party so OH and I can relax beforehand in the sauna etc and then stay the night there by ourselves and have a continental breakfast in the morning. Good hangover cure!
I'm really looking forward to it. It'll be really good for us to relax. I've been so stressed out for the last couple of weeks at work. I'm hoping to talk to one of the bosses about my issues tomorrow hopefully...wish me luck! Hmm

nannyl · 12/12/2010 18:21

Yes thanks, weekend was fab (see above)

Very exciting about feeling little kicks. How very exciting Smile

sorry to hear you have not had a great weekend bebe.

what has DD been doing?

My weekend has been just as planned...
yesturday morning i went to the market while OH did another interview, for a new person for his company.

We had a delcious civilised lunch together (which we rarely get to do, just the 2 of us), then i let him drive my car to his mums!... (we survived the journey Wink)
I made some mince pies
and cooked jamie Oliver cauliflower macaroni cheese for tea

and had a night in with X factor

Today we both had a lovely lie Smile
then a relaxing morning faffing about

Off to MILs for pre-christmas goose (for goose fat) with all his family. (really nice, Xmas carols, Xmas pud, open fire etc and just a lovely afternoon)

wrapped all my Xmas presents this afternoon and finished the last Xmas cards (inc ones to all my class!)

And a quiet evening.... bath and X factor i think

Oh and am now using me CBFM, so thats exciitng but OH thinks waste of time as i chart and can interpret my cycle anyway Hmm

Back to work tomo, but only until 12.15 on Wed when i finish for Xmas!

YAY

bebeinamanger · 12/12/2010 18:07

Very quiet this weekend! Everyone off Christmas shopping? :o

I think DD is plotting against me this weekend & making sure that she is an only child forever! It has been hard work! :(

bebeinamanger · 11/12/2010 10:22

Astro - so sorry you had a crappy day! Hope you managed to get out & relax a bit! :)

JBells - Hope you found your passport?

Had an awful nights sleep & feel exhausted this morning! Hip hurt & had nightmares too! :(

Going to try out the OPKs this afternoon as read that the best time to check is mid afternoon!

AstroZola · 10/12/2010 20:19

hey everyone, had such a stressful day today and work is really getting to me...i really want to go out tonight to release some stress but my very few friends aren't going out and my DP is on his staff xmas do. i've asked if i can meet him out after his meal etc...although i feel slightly guilty for asking him...but i feel terribly miserable and really want to not be alone...help!

Anyway, rant over...100 - Happy Birthday...x

jbells - hope you're feeling better with yourself by now...try not to be so angry with yourself...

All the snow by me has gone...it rained today...and for 2 whole days i've not had to scrape my bloody car!! yippee!! xxx

bebeinamanger · 10/12/2010 19:28

Nannyl - That sounds like a perfect weekend to me! :)

I shall be making some mince pies too at some point. Have cheated and bought some for now, but have alot of homemade mincemeat to use...just don't want to 'waste' it before Christmas! Wink

Planning on trying the OPKs over the weekend, not sure about OV pain coz I get it mainly in my side above my hip (think it's a bit early for me anyway) but my hip is so painful it'll probably mask it! :( Had injection into it today after it was postponed yesterday. Hope it helps!

nannyl · 10/12/2010 18:57

happy Birthday 100. Hope you have had a lovely day, and that the lurgy is disappearing.

Nothing to report here, apart from the SNOW IS MELTING Grin Grin Grin. After 2 weeks i can finally see (some of) the grass in my garden, and can drive on our road (rather than ice skate down it)

Having a relaxing ish weekend.
Plan to:
Go to my lovely market (havent made it for a while)
make mince pies
wrap presents
and go to MIL's for roast goose and a dog walk on Sunday, so we have some goose fat for Xmas Dinner.

Oh and turn on my CBFM tomorrow (day 5) as didnt want to faff in my morning rush!

WYorksLass · 10/12/2010 15:00

Happy Birthday 100, i hope you have a lovely day. I hope you feel better very soon. Here's to lots of Birthday SWI.

JBells (((((((((big hug))))))))))) i hope you are feeling a bit better now.

bebeinamanger · 10/12/2010 11:09

Happy Birthday 100!! Hope you have a fab day, despite the lurgy! :)

100years · 10/12/2010 10:23

Well mid thirties achieved :) 33 today.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Seeing a few friends today and tomorrow. :)

Still got the lurgy :( this displeases me. But it's my birthday so it can all be ignored.

nannyl · 09/12/2010 20:37

jbells

so sorry you'va had a bad day Sad

Hope you find thise things ASAP, and dont beat yourself up about it.... you didnt do it on purpose (and mightnot have done it at all)

jbells · 09/12/2010 18:40

WEll i have had a shit day... i have either lost my passport and my mums chester race course ticket or posted them to malta

i am completly losing the plot, i seem to lose my marbles whilst pg

VERY VERY angry with myself

nannyl · 09/12/2010 17:38

hello all

bebe i vote you use your OPK's now. You can always get some more, can get them really cheap on ebay /amazon

jbells hope you feel better

No news here, just plodding along as usual. Had a good day at school. My class got dressed up in their nativity costumes and photographed for the local paper which as very sweet Smile

OH have a driving lesson and has booked his test (yay, it was a 'condition' on me moving in with him so about time, lol!)

I am just wishing this snow / ice would melt. Got stuck in the school ice rinkcarpark-- last night and this morning. Had a hige audiance this morning Blush

bebeinamanger · 09/12/2010 13:04

Right, so, dilema......
To OPK or not to OPK that is the question? Hmm

I kinda want to know if I'm right in 'guessing' at day 18/19 OV. But assuming that I have another 28 day cycle (like last month) average OV is day 14 (right?) & the OV sticks recommend starting using them on day 11! (2moro) But I could end up using my whole stash on obsessing over this if I start too soon! I don't want to waste them before TTC (assuming DH changes his mind Hmm) but I feel like I need to know what's going on so I can 'be prepared'! Especially if it turns out that I am right & I am OVing late on! Confused Any ideas?

WYorksLass · 09/12/2010 12:40

Hmm, ok, perhaps i don't long to be sick. I want some proper symptoms though! I'm very impatient!

AmandaCooper · 08/12/2010 22:55

Groan Astrozola you will probably still get in before me. I just hope I get this job so I have something positive to focus on. This time last year I'd have said I wouldn't want a summer baby, but at this rate any baby of mine will be lucky to be here at all.
