Your last thread got somewhat derailed so I thought I would treat you to a lovely shiny new place full of real open fires, fluffy blankets and an aga for baking bread and warming soups and stews. Back on with the job in hand ladies, lets have a round up of who's doing what and when.

Beedle good luck to you and MrB today. Brooking all goes well xxxx

Fox sorry to hear about AF, at least you have a plan now. That BFP will be yours soon Smile

How is everyone? I've got a 13 day stretch at work starting tomorrow with one day off next Saturday. I'm dreading it Hmm

No AF yet for me, I'm on cd 30. I'm not even sure I've ovulated this month. I did get a peak on my CBFM but I haven't had any cm or ovulation pain. Also my boobs normally get really sore about a week before AF but they are completely normal. No way am I PIAR though, I refuse to torture myself anymore that way! I'm sure AF will turn up, I'm just worried my body still isn't back to normal yet.

Bloody AF, what a bitch, sorry to hear she's landed with you Fox but like Maybe said, there is a lot to be said for doing the daily commute with a jar of man juice in your pocket Halloween Grin

Fox82 · 20/10/2013 21:26

Haha very true Maybe Halloween Grin

NoMaybeAboutIt · 20/10/2013 21:10

Fox82 · 20/10/2013 20:01

Well AF has turned up yet again Halloween Angry. Well at least I can have my day 3 test tomorrow at the hospital when I take Mr F's sample in I guess! Halloween Hmm

NoMaybeAboutIt · 19/10/2013 10:38

Scarlett boo to AF but amazing yore going to be rinsing the expenses!! Champers anyone??!!

Ooh Stacks I know what you mean. Luckily after the IVF o only had 4 tests in the house. Once they were gone, they were gone! Though I distinctly remember before my 8 week scan walking past a boots and having a massive urge to by a stick. Just to check Grin

Stacks · 19/10/2013 09:45

How's everyone today? I keep getting the urge to POAS and check the lines are still both there... We have a day out at the PILs though, so hoping it'll take my mind off it a bit.

Sorry AF turned up Scarlett, you should make sure you have lots of fun on the company dime at the races.

ScarlettInSpace · 18/10/2013 18:59

Anyways am soaking in big hot bath now, AF decided cd24 was a good day to land unannounced this afternoon Halloween Angry and I've got full hospitality at the races tomorrow [work arranged, very funny, signed off the week before i handed my notice in] so am looking forward to rinsing my expenses Halloween Grin

Ooh, I'm so Angry for you, stupid ineffective bloody people!! On a plus, your meal last night sounded really lovely :) hope you had a good birthday.

Scarlett I know its not helpful, but I did have to chuckle at the immaturity of your sulky boss Halloween Grin

Beedle so happy you have arrangements made that your DH can do too :) I am crossing everything and brooking like a crazy lady for this cycle!!

Not much to report from Chez Boo, K has started to wean on to proper food, and she loves it!

geek what a nightmare!

beedles big brooking for Monday!

Well I've finally spoken to my boss & we've reached a compromise, I will take Christmas off as planned and go back on 2nd & 3rd to do handovers. He is actually off all that week anyway so will be dead quiet couple of days Halloween Grin and I don't have to take them unpaid [which I was planning for] so looks like I start my new job on the 6th Jan Halloween Grin

BeedlesPineNeedles · 18/10/2013 14:36

How annoying geek I hope you manage to get it sorted on monday.

scarlett what a shame your boss won't let you have the extra week off, I hope he won't find you a load of crap stuff to do that week just to make a point

NoMaybeAboutIt · 18/10/2013 14:34

This is taking the mick Geek. I am Halloween Angry on your behalf

ControlGeek · 18/10/2013 14:20

Grr GP tried to call at 12:38 Haloween Sad I even hung around until 12:30 in case she called at 12:20 like she did yesterday! She's now gone for the day and there's no-one else who can advise so I have to wait for another call back on Monday.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 18/10/2013 11:26

That's great news Beedle. Brooking for lots of juicy eggs. Roll on Monday I say.

Oh wow Geek! That's what I call a birthday meal!! Sounds amazing. Especially the starter. Black pudding bhaji?! I'm all over that! And brilliant that you will (I'm brooking no argument) be hearing from the GP today Halloween Smile

That's lovely Stacks. I can imagine you're feeling quite overwhelmed at the moment!! But it will be great Halloween Smile

Scarlett how bloody annoying. Your boss is clearly sulking as you've decided to leave. It would be lovely for you to have that extra time over crimbo off! Maybe a weeks sick?

ControlGeek · 18/10/2013 10:34

Ahh beedle that's great news! I am sure MrB will be relieved to hear the details, too.

scarlett Have you heard back about your appeal yet? It feels like it was ages ago that you raised it. What a pain about that extra week of work, but at least that will be the end of it. They will never be able to ask anything of you again!
