Missmrsm: try to enjoy yourself & relax, you've clearly earned a break. I love a good box set, the wire or greys anatomy are good depending on mood x

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 10:39

Ps Retro I have voted YES!

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 10:38

Share the burden as in rotate Y6 so it's not always the same teacher under pressure. My DH met someone in a school that rotates every 2 years, so at least you get to repeat planning etc for 1 year.

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 10:37

Thanks English Smile

Yes, year 6 Retro. I'm thinking part-time might work better for me too and probably supply after a baby. Can't imagine having marking and planning to do with a LO (little one, not learning objective lol)

How do you find year 4? I might push for a different year group for Sept. Think we should share the burden!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 10:28

Un-officially....ffs!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 10:27

It's a job I've already been doing in officially for last yr. the main reason I need to get it is that my competition (who would be my boss) is a twat!

Oops, should be prep'ing. Can u take another pic of test, put it on window & it'll be clearer, exciting.........x

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 10:23

Ginger, good luck! Is it for a job you really want? I think not thinking about it is sometimes the best prep you can do Grin

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 10:21

missmrsmummy, I knew you were a teacher from your NN! I'm guessing y6 from the SATs comment? I'm y4, just gone p/t which is the best thing I've ever done!

You have to remember that if you burn out and struggle through, the kids won't be getting what they need either. It's bloody tough, you need to look after yourself and that often gets forgotten. Enjoy your DVDs and don't feel guilty. Un MN hugs and [tea] and Flowers

spinningirl10 · 03/02/2014 10:20

Retro.....I can see a line!!!! Yay Grin

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 10:18

I'm so procrastinating..... Have interview today, done no prep, can't be arsed. Must go do some reading!

Also, sat mild cramps, sun light brown spotting, not even spotting really. Still no af, still in & getting nervous!!!!!!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 10:16

Bella: I'd say if no red blood & just spotting you're still in.

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 10:12

No more FRER English. Spent too much already Grin sticking to the cheapies now to satisfy the urges!

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 10:10

Fuck me. This might actually be real. Out of ics now, so when I pop into town later I'm going to grab a variety some of the Wilkos cheapies as they seem to be the same type. And someone mentioned the Superdrug ones? Then will repeat mantra

'I must be patient, I must be patient, I must be patient...'

EnglishGirlAbroad · 03/02/2014 10:09

Bella, doesnt sound like you should count your bleeding as a new cycle. Was it just some spotting. CD1 should be first day of full flow, not spotting. I'd leave it a few days and then poas again. Not nice being in limbo though.

Retro I can see something but it is very faint. Have you got any more FRER?

MissMrs sorry you're feeling stressed, but sounds like yo have a good team around you at work. Try to chill out. Why don't you book a massage or a spa day or something. Go for nice walks. Have a nice lunch with a friend. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 10:07

Plus you're very early to test so it would be weak. I'd wait a couple of days which I know isn't you're strong point lol! Then get a first rsp x

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 10:05

Think I can see something but then when I zoom it goes all blurry. If u can see a line, on 4 sep tests, then it must be a bfp!

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 10:03

do vote!

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 09:54

Should be on my profile now. And I've peered at the last four ics I did, three have stupidly faint lines... None appeared instantly, but it's unlikely to be three evap lines? Still nothing on the FRER though.

You may have noticed, patience is not one of my strengths!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 09:52

Ooooooohhhhh! Let's being seeing it then?

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:42

Retro put it on canyouseealine.com!

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 09:41

Right. Bearing in mind that this was the test I absolutely did not do this morning... And it's out of the time limit. And I'm totally obsessing and freaking out.

But this is a line, right? (If I figure out how to post pics on my profile)

Somebody please confiscate my pee jar!!

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:27

Bella I'd either wait a couple of days and test or do it ASAP if you can't wait. Don't give up hope!

Sorry pebble Sad

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:25

I meant circle not cycle in my first of the 3 posts!

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:24

Kitty glad you've got your smiley!

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:24

Hi barmy, thanks for asking Smile. I still feel unwell, I'm so burnt out I think it could take me a while to relax and realise I don't have to think about work. My head is so nice, she said do absolutely nothing but watch DVDs and each chocolate! It's really hard knowing someone else is teaching my class in the run up to the SATs but I just need to let go and try to get myself better.

Unfortunately I will be sitting at home during the 2ww - I'm going to go mental!

Hope you find the opk useful. 4 episodes or so of DTD is much easier than every other day for most of your cycle! It has prevented it becoming too much of a chore for us!

Fx it helps you x
