Hoping for a positive November! Old thread too big to post messages

Hey November bunnes, perhaps it's me but it says thread too big to post messages? If it is me then just then this thread die.

Thanks for everyone's advice on temping and OPKs it is very useful. ready4 I fancy a snooze it was tough getting out of bed today. Miserable weather out there.

Hi Chooster aka rr. Sounds like a good plan! I also work in IT for a bank, but all my colleagues are male so I'd be very surprised if they came up to me at the coffee machine and wanted to discuss the unthinkable

Not long to go for us now in Nov... 13 days

Happy Friday

Poor Chooster how terrible.

The Vegas wedding was good when the bandwidth freed up. My friend was in black and her now husband in cream!

I warn you in advance it is a lame hobby and I haven't met anyone else who does it!
Oh and please still talk to me after you work it out!

I spot them...

Good luck to the testers. Have AF pain so being patient.

Chooster · 23/11/2006 12:34

Actually - it looks like there could be a few weekend testers - 1n2s and honeyapple. Hope all those twinges go away...

I'd love to go back to Rome again - really lovely. Amsterdam is fabulous but has bad memories for me... My DH and I had planned our first romantic break when our DS was about 10 months old, and on the first night we had to leave the restaurant early as I felt really ill - Had a really bad stomach bug for 24 hours so DH was wondering around Amsterdam on his own , then just as I was getting better he started... So then I was wondering around Amsterdam on my own . The worst but was that we got a really low budget hotel because we thought we'd hardly be in it - Fools that we are. I still cringe when I see a KLM plane

Having said that there did seem a lot to do if you not chucking up...

Chooster · 23/11/2006 12:25

Oh my goodness you girls have been busy! What a fab job Bodders - I was also thinking about it yesterday and was going to ask if you made leaded windows - then I saw you'd confessed all! Damn, I could almost have got the canteen of cutlery - maybe next time.

Cityangel, was it you who had the hobby that we were going to guess next? How was the Vegas wedding? V v v v v v v exciting

Hope everything is going OK today MrsMcj - Hope MrMcJ is coming round right now with all his disc's back in the correct place (do they out it back or take it out??? - Sorry showing my ignorance!)

So, Conker and city are still due to test? WooHoo Greedy that it looks like you'd OV - am sure there was enough man juice in there

honeyapple · 23/11/2006 12:17

Hi firststar, well i think i'm going to test on monday, although the urge to test sooner is getting stronger all the time. Going to try and enjoy the weekend without thinking about it all. Ha! Fat chance!
Mind you i was pretty snappy yesterday (got cross with DS over minor issue) and now having a couple of lower abdomen twinges.

But, the mission is to find a great destination for 1n2s and her DH...
Prague- not been there, but it is definitely a stag weekend hotspot.
How about...
Budapest?
Rome?
Rekyavjik? (spelling??)
New York?

Ready · 23/11/2006 11:45

Hope all everyone is well. Not long to go in November now!! Does anyone know how many BFPs there have been so far??

1n2s · 23/11/2006 11:16

How are you all? I'm patiently waiting for AF over this weekend, not long to go now....getting the odd AF cramps and then nothing so far but only on CD 26 today.

Thanks for the tips on weekend breaks ladies.
Cityangel - thanks for the tips. DH lived in Paris for a while and is in no hurry to go back and we live west of london so have done the shows sooo many times now. I'll look at your link for Amsterdam though , I was worried it may be full of hen/stag parties, but where isn't these days...
Honeyapple - I'd love to go to Barcelona but DH has been there on so many Stag wkends in the last few years and got pickpocketed last summer!! No fond memories for him.
Babyfettle - me and DH have been to Bruge and yes it is beautiful
Anyone been to Prague???

Good luck conker, I was BFN on Tues. My temp was down but back up again today so a faint glimmer of hope. It is hard waiting and not testing.

greedyguzzler · 23/11/2006 09:15

good luck oaktree!

greedyguzzler · 23/11/2006 09:14

king of bods - thats a bit different isnt it! how do you get into something to like that? i bet you are trying to get friendly with kyte to see if she can put some work your way! dont worry about the lead by the way (not sure if you were or not anyway) but i used to work with REALLY high concentrations of pesticides, mercury, lead and lots of other teratogens when i was pg and all was fine( did you do the same job last time you were pg?) i think the protective clothing is great and definately does its job!

i feel like i have won the lottery today! my temp has FINALLY gone up (cd26) so i reckon i might have ov'd yesterday ( shame we chose to have a break from BDing last night!) nevermind, hopefully there was still a bit of baby gravy hanging around form previous sessions!

whats happening with everyone about to test?????

thinking of you mrsmcspink

conkertree · 23/11/2006 08:37

stained glass windows sounds like such a fantastic job - do you design them as well?

was going to test this morning but dh and i had a bit of an argument last night and so wasn't really in the mood this morning - made up pretty quickly but only after i'd been for a pee, so no time after that to test before going to work.

might try tomorrow or might wait till sat if AF not here by then.

So 1n2s go for it. I went to Madrid for my hen weekend nice, but petty crime was high there. Ask everyone you know where they recommend for romance and you'll end up with lots of fun bd places.
London hotel/ show/ bubbly... Paris... Country Hotel...Bruges.. good luck

Conkertree where are you hug

Babyfettle I agree longer cycles are frustrating . I've been trying OV tests to work out when (CD17 - 19 usually) so that I don't get hopefull too early at AF time. It also helps to work out if my luteal phase is long enough. My only bizarre observation is how few people on MN end up due to test at the end of each month? Maybe people's cycles get in sync?

MrsMC my dh say he hopes your dh is ok. My dh would like to remotely send choc/ sci fi/ beer/ no talking & laughs 'in a manly way' hope sending that helps I've never been to Vegas but it sounds fun. We watched our friends' wedding online so fun and different! As they are a mortuary manager and undertaker they have a unique perspective on life. Good luck with your new job too. I can sympathise with change coming along all at once. I lost my job the day before I was wedding shopping with my Mum in March this year so sometimes you just have to run with it.

To all the bd graduates I am pleased the ante-natal threads are slower... pls come back to play whenever you're free!

So a big exciting day I guess I need to chill out soon... Happy Wednesday :0)

Hey everyone

Bodkin. What a cool thing to do Send us some pics? Is it a hobby/ profession both? TMI? Nosey city chic who only uses the creative side of the brain in trying to work out how to get on that tube when everyone else has given up

You smart bunny honeyapple Go for dusty the bin!

We went on a romantic weekend to Amsterdam last year. We stayed in the Grand Krasnapolsky which was very central and got a newspaper city break deal. Really nice. If you do stay there don't stay in their apartments just the main hotel itself (long story) You also need to be careful with other options that you aren't too far from the centre or in the wrong area. Go on hotelreview to find good options. Then you can compare prices on travelprices and then book your own thing your own way
Its v. popular with hen/ stag/ naughties so worth comparing a handful of other cities to see best deal v. romance. On the easy and ryanair websites they have a map of their destinations which gets bigger all the time so good luck with the deals.
