The July 19ers - STILL never beaten, and rocking our FJs for a lucky thread

I've never heard of Dishoom!

@pegase I also went to duck and waffle with my brother a few years ago. We went for lunch but I loved the 24 hour concept. Food was ok but didn't blow me away. Loved the cocktails though so would agree with @frazzle there. I had emailed beforehand and got a table by the window so we had an amazing view.
I would go back though. Maybe when I'm next in London. You have me thinking.....
I also really want to try Dishoom. They have one in Edinburgh too. Has anyone been? Is it worth it? Would it beat my fav Wagamama???!!!!

Having serious envy of your little puppy @ratherbeshowjumping

Would love a puppy but sadly not possible with teaching such long hours.

I really want to try Duck and Waffle which sounds similar to what you have had @Frazzlerock

I am still laid up with chest infection so no exciting weekend for me. Went to GP and no antibiotics for me as too risky so she said come back if it gets worse. Feel bloody dreadful but don't want to take any risks. Bleeding has just changed into tinted discharge for now at least.

Hello all.
@Frazzle that looks brilliant food. It's not quite the same but I have just ordered Pizza Hut and it should be on it's way now. Very bad. And I am having a vodka and coke zero. I am so pleased your DP had a positive interview and day.

I had a ridiculous day with 4 separate meetings with parents, all of whom were demanding revenge and condoning their child's behaviour. It makes me despair, it really does. And it's still inspection. BUT inspection finished tomorrow and then it's the weekend!!!!!

@betty - sorry you are feeling rubbish and can't talk. My only positive is that your DH has taken some of the pills? I want to ask mine to take a vitamin but again.......I don't want to bring it up as I think he'll say no and I'm being obsessive even though he knows I take so much each and every day. It makes me so angry. And then I think......calm, calm.

@kinsters - so exciting CNY is coming up and you guys are off. I hope you have a fantastic holiday and get to stay for it all. I know exactly what you mean about the due date as I found out I was pregnant almost a year ago and I know what my DD was. This time I am not looking at specific dates but I know it would be October. Which like you said, would be ideal for me.

@ratherbe I hope the puppy is doing well! I remember when my dog had similar (she's a girl) and it's quite traumatic.

@Rose68 I am pleased you are staying. Like you said, I have also begun to care quite a lot for everyone on here and even though I don't know people's real names, I think we know a lot about each other. No-one wants to be the last one but I hope we will all stick around for the stragglers as there will be some....

This weekend is the first one this year (!) that I don't have to go to work. In addition, my parents are coming for the weekend on their way somewhere else. So I am planning on going to a farmers market, we have tickets to see Othello, go for dinner and visit the QE2 which is now all spruced up.

@Betty I would be fuming....! You've sacrificed/organised so much. A tablet a day shouldn't be a huge issue.

Imagine if we all had a DP/DH who took their supplements, BDed on demand and didn't have to travel for work... wouldn't life be so much easier?!

Ah Frazzle glad you enjoyed it. That sounds delicious. I'm definitely going to hunt it down next time we go.
So glad your DPs interview went well. Perhaps we should alter the expression to "Some things happen for a reason"

Thanks for all the support guys. I told myself I wouldn't look at the stupid due date calculator this cycle because I knew it would be around this date and I'd get too hung up on it but I still did look!

rather that looks like a very sad dog! Poor thing.

Betty you're right to be annoyed, you're making so much effort and he can't even be arsed to take one little pill!

I have to say my DH is very on board with bd'ing and supplements, his only problem is how often he's away. It's at least 3 days every week! He works for his dad's company and when his dad mentioned that DH would be away this whole week I just wanted to yell "you don't want grandkids then?!"

It is very annoying though, it must be a man thing.

@Betty oh that made me laugh, I’m so sorry I know that’s not the right reaction, but this is exactly the same problem I have with DH and his pills.
Except for December when he was getting through his Wellman conception tablets way too fast... upon enquiry it turned out that I had told him to take 2 a day... I had actually told him to take 2 vitamin c tablets a day 🙈

Ok I realise that I should be 'grateful' that DH is always up for DTD. But this makes me really cross. My Viridian pro conception on the left, his on the right. It's not that much to ask, is it? I take 6 supplements a day, have overhauled my diet and given up drinking in between physically dealing with 3 mcs. He can't be arsed to take a pill and has managed to miss 2 sperm analysis appointments. He q obviously doesn't think that any of this is his problem 😠 Really fucks me off tbh. Sorry for the rant.

I'm keeping everything crossed for you @Kinsters - and I hope you don't miss out on your holiday!
Two so far with BFPs, I'm sure the rest of us will be there soon 👍🏼

@BettySwoll0cks, agreeing with Rose here, I usually start to get EWCM 2-3 days before O...

Absolutely not judging anyone on the chocolate front... I ran into the shop this morning to grab some milk. Not sure how the cookies also ended up on the counter 😂

@Frazzlerock Sleeper will be fab! What a lovely weekend.
We are doing nothing. For the first weekend in ages! I'm going to go riding with my friend on Saturday but apart from that no plans... hoping to take the dogs for a nice walk, play around with the horses & finish my book. So excited, genuinely, not to have any plans!!

DH has just picked up the puppy from his little op ✂️ poor little man. Dh said he's feeling very, very sorry for himself 🙈😂

Oh Kinsters I really really hope you get it x

Betty opk is better not fmu cause apparently the hormone surge happens in the afternoon.

Tigsy yes! Obsessing alone is much worse.
I've got my final dry slope ski lesson this Saturday and then Sunday we're travelling up to DH's grandma for Chinese New Year which is on Tuesday. I might not be able to go though cause I'm waiting on an important document which needs to be submitted to the authorities by Monday. Hopefully I can find someone to delegate to as its really just a delivery boy job and seems a shame to cut short my holiday for that!

Argh I just looked at what my due date would be if I conceived this cycle and its such a perfect date, I want it so badly . If only wishing could get us what we wanted.

I’m not ‘actually’ planning on going, @Tigsy you are right I would carry on obsessing on my own, unless I could put this ttc lark well and truly behind me.

@Betty, how long do you get ewcm for? I usually get it for 5 days before ov.... it could be okay x

This weekend we have the usual football, football and more football, plus kids parties and the usual loads of homework. Joy.

Oh no. EWCM - way early for me (its CD10, usually pre-mc I would Ov around CD16) and DH is overseas until late Fri night. Body, don't do this to me. I will OPK later, can anyone remind me if it needs to be FMU or if I can just hold it a couple of hours? 😩

Whole bar or Lindt Excellence intense mint consumed last night. I don't do that very often, but DH is away and I am being really good at staying off the booze (which I reckon is waaaaaaaay worse) so ....

Rose don't gooooooooo!!

I felt like this but then I realised if I didn't obsess with you lot I'd obsess alone and that's waaaaaaay more dangerous!!

@Frazzle don’t worry about being a misery, it makes me feel better in a funny kind of way... I’m not the only one feeling like this etc
I agree with the 2 fingers up thing... I’ve been eating chocolate again... way too much last night... I bloody love chocolate.
Have a lovely lunch, you deserve it. x

@Frazzle why why why did you have to post that.... mac and cheese with pulled chicken, bacon and jalopenos..... that looks fab! I'm very jealous!

Please don't leave Rose! Can you not have mumsnet open and look at house it is such a fantastic group, I feel so lucky to have met you lot.
