I can confirm Kitty and her DH look lovely. You look a very happy couple Smile

Fox82 · 14/07/2013 17:31

Heating on in this weather?? Wow! I tried to point the fan at a 95 year old at work today (as we have practically no air at work!) and she just said oh I'm fine don't worry about me! Probably has her heating on at home!

Can I join the Facebook group too?? I know I don't post too often, but I guess as I'm a bit shy in RL it carries on on here! I read the thread at least twenty 2 or 3 times a day though and love to see how everyone's getting on

nearlyanurse · 14/07/2013 17:26

boo you're a riot. I'm a student nurse kitty, out with dns for my final placement. Seriously, folk need to turn their heating the heck down.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 14/07/2013 17:26

Don't be shy Kitty you look super glam :) off back over there to look for your DH :)

Nurse hurry up and john the FB group!!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 14/07/2013 17:22

Maybe thanks for getting mad on my behalf. Maybe I should send you over to the clinic? No one would mess with a PUPO. Erm I'm glad I wasn't out with you and MrM doesn't sound my type of thing! We have done a few jobs around the house and managed to fit in a bit of sunbathing.

Penguin have a fab holiday and good luck with the stealth shagging Wink

Kitty I want you to join so I can check out how fit you and your DH are Grin

I've heard from the clinic, I start stimms on Friday and have bloods on Wednesday and first scan on the following Friday. I was a bit surprised the first scan is so far away. How soon did you other assisted Brookers have stimming scans?

BlindKitty · 14/07/2013 17:13

boo I've gone all shy now haha

nurse are you a dn? I work in patients homes too. A few had their heating on last week!

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 14/07/2013 17:06

Um, Nurse I think they would notice Grin hopes nurse is in geriatrics the children's ward Wink

Maybe booby is doing ok, I have got her little dresses out to keep her cool absolutely nothing to do with her looking sooooo cute [grin--

Off to Facebook for a nosey at the newbies :):)

nearlyanurse · 14/07/2013 16:54

penguin have a great time away - what great weather you've got for a caravan trip - nothing worse than rain for a uk jollyday.

I took to my bed this afternoon, af is kicking my ass, and am proper grumpy. Could not get up for work this morning, and then every patient seemed to have their heating on. The worst thing about nursing is definitely being happy and nice to people when you really want to go to bed in a grumpy huff! Times like this (and only this) I'm glad to be apart from mr nurse so he doesn't have to deal with me.

BlindKitty · 14/07/2013 16:46

maybe pm'd you. I hope it's sex haha although guessing with imminent shag week it's prob not!!!

penguin have a fab time and please come back updiffed!! Grin

You make me laugh boo. If only I could stop sressing about it all indeed. And if only I could stop myself from wanting to cry whenever I see someone pregnant, or indeed wondering if the parent would notice if I stole their baby every time I see a pram.

We've only been trying since last september, not that long, I know, but I think you and cups are right, at least if I know I've not been near mr nurse whilst ovulating, it takes away the hope (and therefore the dreaded disappointment) during the 2ww.

ThedementedPenguin · 14/07/2013 16:44

I've pm'd you. I hope please tell me you got it?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 14/07/2013 16:29

Drop me a PM too Penguin, I'll add you!

ThedementedPenguin · 14/07/2013 16:25

Wait... Secret Facebook group??

Yes it's the caravan holiday.

The numbers have reduced down so that's good. I'm looking forward to it.

Must remember sun glasses!!

Have a great week everyone.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 14/07/2013 16:17

Ah, that's so sweet. What's he after..... Grin

PM me your name and I'll add you as you can't search for it!!

BlindKitty · 14/07/2013 16:06

Maybe I'm really not but I do want to join the secret club! What's it's name on FB?

Oh and you're hot because you're pupa!!!!

Dh has surpassed himself today.. Went to sainsburys (without being nagged) and came home with flowers! Think I married a good-un there.. oh and let's not forget he's 'well fit' haha

OP posts:
NoMaybeAboutIt · 14/07/2013 15:01

Hope you have a good time Penguin and that you can drown out the parentals Wink

Gobbo I am so very hot. I am normally a proper sun bunny but I feel rubbish today. Spent the lot in walking round a classic car thing and then a steam museum. Scorchio. MrM was meant to be taking me out for a tasty lunch but instead we've done that! Hmm

Hope you found something nice to do Cups. The more I think about it, the more annoyed I am getting for you. Stupi clinic. Don't mess with the progesterone filled PUPO.

I'm sure your fit Kitty Wink. Though there's only one way to tell!! Come and join our secret Facebook group. It's what all the cool kids are doing Grin

BlindKitty · 14/07/2013 14:38

penguin is this the caravan hol? Don't forget sunglasses, razor (I always forget it) and a REALLY loud stereo for all the baby making!!! Grin

ThedementedPenguin · 14/07/2013 13:44

Nurse hope AF has calmed down a bit for you.

Cups I hope they fit you in soon. Brooking lots for you. It's sucks lots that you can't go to weddings.

I should really be getting packed up and ready to go away but I cba. I really can't be bothered. So lazy :)

Ill end up panic packing later and then ill have nothing I need haha.

I won't have much if any signal up there so ill prob not be on unless we go away for the day. So just know ill be thinking of each of you guys when away.

Lots of brooking to you all. Xx

BlindKitty · 14/07/2013 13:42

boo solars well I think he's fit! Did feel a little smug though! Don't want it to go to his head though Wink

Someone actually said it about me yesterday although we were quite annoyed as it was my friend's new bf so completely inappropriate! Also I certainly wouldn't describe myself as 'fit as' but did l look especially hot yest haha

cups gobbo I'm afraid I did the dreadful dead

OP posts:
Gobbolinothewitchscat · 14/07/2013 11:14

cups - that is officially shitballs

DH has just returned from 3 days at Goodwood so he has DS care and I am enjoying some TV watching. Will probably potter around the garden as too hot to go out, out

Are there any nice national trust properties near you both (maybe too). Pre DS and having a core body temperature of 120 degrees, I would probably have gone to one of the NT places near us with DH and had a lovely, indulgent packed lunch and lazed about having a walk and reading the Sunday papers under a tree. You both need to take full advantage of doing this now as obviously you will have babies very soon

maybe - you need to be very careful in the heat though due to being PUPO

I think I'll also make some butterfly cakes with lemoncurd too.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 14/07/2013 11:09

Oh Cups that sucks. It's so frustrating for you. We don't have any plans either and need something to occupy us too Smile

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 14/07/2013 11:00

I've done my relaxation cd and I'm a bit more chilled about it now. There's nothing I can do anyway. It's extra annoying as I had two weddings coming up and now I won't be able to go to either of them. DH is an usher at one the first week in August so now we are stressing it will coincide with EC. Both weddings are about 5 hour drive away so with regular scans etc it will be impossible.

I've not got any plans today. I think I need to think of something to cheer me up. Any ideas?! Smile

NoMaybeAboutIt · 14/07/2013 10:21

Morning lovely brookers. Thank you all for letting me lean on you Thanks

Kitty what an interesting evening Grin. Why couldn't she do it herself??!!

Cups it's so frustrating. I DR for 22 very long days as try couldn't fit me in. Brooking that Friday comes around quickly and you can get stimming.

Gobbo the more positive anecdotes the better!

Thanks Solars. How you doing?

Keep you're right about not knowing. I just need to go with it and chill out.

Boo it always so nice to see you! Hope booby is coping with the heat ok!

What are everyone's plans today?

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 14/07/2013 09:57

kitty - I feel I need to see a pic of your DH now! I hope you dettoled your hands thoroughly after the sweaty belly button incident !
