The Elderberry Pavlovas are pimping everyday – a lovely thread for 30+ ladies TTC #1 (Thread 7)

Morning all! Tired and grumpy bunny here today, got woken up at 4am by a random noise and still feeling fed up about AF!

I need a time machine, want to fast forward to beginning of May so can start again (yes I know you think I'm nuts for taking a month off) and a week in Spain yay!

yes. especially if it is eaten by accident (very unpleasant stuff happens...), which is highly possible if not careful - do you know how much stuff has chocolate on it in it???
We a are both lactose intolerant anyway, so that makes it a little easier but blooming frustrating!

Can't eat chocolate? What kind of a horrid ordeal that must be!

Ooooooh lovely, I made macaroons today

no name change here. I'm boring and I like it.
feeling very chuffed tonight.
Fancy pants here made cupcakes with carob icing just for kicks today (dh can't eat chocolate). Yummy!

Nice name boo anybody else changing name for Easter :-)

Frogcatcher, surely there's an Easter Egg Hunting joke to be made somewhere in there?

I'm not really here; I've still got loads of work to do. Why do I leave it until last minute?!

No snow here in south west, had a flurry yesterday, hope it stays away!

Just frogs and bunnies round tonight then?!?

No snow on the south coast either. Flippin cold tho. Our game of choice with DP and SS was the Great Dragon Hunt. Again not a euphemism tho I think I may create one called The Big O Hunt (subtitled TTC when you're over 35 & spent your whole life to now avoiding it).

Bath done, just had fab roast beef, my yorkies worked for the first time ever

bunny hope there's more bubbles than gloom in that there bath.

Just went for a roast in a pub with friends only there was no roast left. This was the third or fourth Sunday evening roast in recent months in this same pub with the same friends and every time they have run out of roast. You would think we'd have learnt from this.
One more week of cold then off to sunny Spain for 5 days .

Back in a bit x

No snow here in Mid Kent either - I feel cheated. Dinner is being cooked and jenga has been played (this is not a euphemism).
Hello tallyra, barking, charming and happy!

barking chest height snow? that's crazy! there's none at all here in south Kent!
we had DTD fun yesterday, but kicked the dog out to do so. he sat outside the door and whined - I think he was worried by the noises :-P

welcome tart, nice name.

I'm CD7 as well happy, ff not predicting O until CD22 though, so no gearing up for me for a while!!

I've been playing in chest deep snow drifts with the dog. Walked only 4 miles but it was ridiculously hard going! Just had a bath and now lying on the bed uploading some photos.
Hello tart

Evening Berries . Welcome Tart.
Have I missed anything??
Cd7 here so zero to report. OV due in 4-6 days so just gearing up for shag week. Wonder if my first child will be conceived in the Zurich Ibis??

boodle that link is class!!! A girl I used to know said her cats once attacked her husbands balls whilst they were DTD, I guess they thought they were playthings lol!

Thanks frog and tart

I spent the day making macaroons, I may just eat them all this evening whilst sulking under the pity sofa!

'ello'ello. Was in your neck of the wood today, merk. Freezing! Welcome tart! Am in bed with a cat now, who is trying to stop me typing by clawing my fingers and rubbing her nose under them. She also jumps into bed with us when we want to dtd. I think they KNOW. We throw her out and shut the door and she waits outside and gives us disapproving looks when we emerge!
sid, I am tempted to tell my mum about the tests and stuff, but know she'd keep bringing it up or tell her friends about it. I can't handle that. But I do know how nice it is to have someone rooting for you. How many stops from merk are you? Somewherer beginning with w?

Easter egg and wine Bunny, it's the only way.
Boodle that cat page on the Oatmeal is the truest thing on the internet. Fact.
I had to stop temping and using opks Frogcatcher, it made me go a bit barmy. Also, I resented feeding £20 a month into the fertility monitor, only to be told "High" instead of "Peak". So I gave up because I am mature.

I love the Oatmeal pot! Am at home enjoying the silence so chocolate sounds tempting. Managed to get out of visiting DPs baby-obsessed family on the pretence of ironing & stuff. Obviously I am stalking the elderberries & watching mad men instead .

AF is an EVIL WITCH bunny. No idea what is going on here. I'm either in the 2WW or still waiting to O. OPKs still neg & woke up too late to take a meaningful temp today tho Saturday's was highest this month. We did at least manage to DTD yesterday after a 4 dry spell but no idea if a waste of time or not. Guess I just see what tomorrow's temp looks like & wait for AF / BFP. It's CD19 & I've never had a recent cycle longer than 32 days. Why can't my flippin body have read FF & know how it's supposed to behave?!

Bunny - sorry about AF. What a cow she is. Good plan on the Easter egg. DH and I just shared one for a Sunday afternoon treat (he ate more though...)! I keep getting blood donation reminders too, but I had a brief fling with acupuncture last year so haven't been able to recently. Figured I'd done my fair share though as my donations were into the 30s and I will continue to do it whenever possible in the future.

Hello Tart; my cats are also quite good at cockblocking. One of them gets on the bed and quite stubbornly refuses to move, no matter how much we try to kickencourage her off so we can DTD!

I think the time may have come to share this link again for those that missed it the first time.
