Still TTC your first baby? New thread for toomuch's mobile!!

I work 4 dpw (ds in nursery 3.5days), but I also do Pampered Chef cooking shows some evenings. Work only gives stat. mat pay (which is crap compared to salary - ended up with huge debt due to loss of earnings). Pampered Chef is now acting as top up, although some people make a full-time wage with it - advantage is that dp can look after dc after work so that you can go out and do cooking show.

Sounds as though current situation with BP no good: would it cost too much to buy her out?

Are you still going shopping with insurance money?

I ended up making wedding dress - at the time everything was a bit too ornamented and fussy and I'm not a standard shape, so trying on dresses was rather frustrating!

My head is spinning at the moment because I do not want to give up on the business but I also do not want to keep working with my BP because we are both 50/50 directors she will be entitled to half the profits even if she does not work.

I had always intended that my baby would come to work with me and my mum had offered to take care of it.

I am not sure I would open a business on my own again. I am starting to wonder whether a job working nine to five and having maternity leave is the answer.

I know no one can tell me the right answer but I wish someone had a magic wand.

I hope you are feeling better for tonight, I am blowing my nose like there is no tomorrow.

BB - sorry to hear of business partner issues - but sounds as though you're better out of it. Will you be able to get a place on your own? And what will you do when babybb comes along? Or are you going to do something completely different?

Molars slightly better today, although sneezing a lot and runny nose (nice) and am doing cooking show tonight that I need not to cough, sneeze and sniff through!

Another lovely sunny day to spend in the office.

Hi All, Got a surge days ago and my temp has not gone up I am wondering if I am having one of those cycles where there is no egg. Either that or I am late because I have been poorly, who knows!!!

My life is all over the place at the min. My business partner announced that she did not want to come back after the baby, so it looks like we might have to sell the business but I actually think that I am not that worried. We've not been getting on recently.

I am full of a summer cold too and I have exactly the same feeling in my molars.

Yes, still sunny here, and trapped in office all day. No site visits available unfortunately.

Yes, I could have given him a much longer list this morning of things that really annoyed me, including only having about 1'6" of the bed for much of the time last night, and having all duvet removed - twice.

Sorry, have developed summer cold with the sort of headache that makes your molars throb despite paracetamol.

Weather does make me feel a bit more chearful though!

MT- men are pains in the behind aren't they!! It's funny when you know you want to bong as you end up biting your tongue over so many things in order to keep the mood going.. and then eventually you burst anyway!!

Weather is actually quite nice here today MT! Feeling rather cheerful!

Toomuch - no, I'm not on hols either!

Left DH in furious mood this morning - he'd promised our 'best' small suitcase on wheels to a colleague at work so that colleague can go on hols - not even just UK - on plane. Sounds v petty I know, but you know what a beating suitcases get on planes. If it was our hol that would be one thing, but why should our decent suitcase be used by someone else! Also he spent about 40mins 'reading' ie in smallest room this morning - I managed to get up, have shower and dress, get ds up, read story to ds on potty, deal with potty, help ds's elephant to choose what clothes he was going to wear that day and get down and start breakfast in the same time. Not equal sharing of responsibility in my view - so the suitcase thing got rather blown out of proportion... Anyway, rant over. Not much bonging for me tonight ! Oh, and he spent all weekend dodging everything apart from going to the farmer's market (which he insisted on going to) in order to do his OU homework and then hasn't done enough and is going to take a day off to do some. (sorry, rant really over this time)

Nomore - let me know when - I know someone that makes material slings. And she can match material requirements to your colours etc.

Hi Kensgirl - well done finishing everything - at least you've got a good break and plenty of bonging in DR I hope to look forward to!

Hi everyone else.

Is it sunny everywhere else this morning too - 1st decent weekend since April afaicr.

Everyone else [big wave] - hello.. although I think you are either all on holiday or taking a break this week .. guess it's just me.. I'll have to actually do some work rather than chatting all day

kensgirl - Hi - not sure if we've met or whether I've just read your old posts.. but hello!!

scorpio - Long time no see how are you doing?

babyb - did your charms work? hopefully lots of bong action for you!! I got my surge yesterday so we've been bonging for England!!

Bella-pleased to hear your news.

Ready-hows you? ive been having a little break from MN-so nice!

hi to the rest!

Hey ladies ! Hope you are all well!

i've just had a bit of a mn mini break, its been the end of term and I have worked like a maniac to not have to go into school over the hols.... yippee!

No baby news from me yet, BUT we have booked to to a 5 star hotel in the Dominican Republic the week after next, so I am hoping the pampering and relxing will bring a bfp!

Big congratulations to Pink Martini!

Bella - 12 weeks already ! I'm so pleased everything is going well for you, lovely to hear from you!

Welcome and hello to anyone I havn't "met" yet.

Hig wave to everyone especially Nomore, Mistlethrush, Ready, Gilly and the rest of the oldies

Ooh BB - what fun!! ENjoy!! .. and good luck with those charms!

I will have to use my womanly charms

I've just had some good news we got our insurance cheque today so we can order our wedding dresses. Yipeee!!! now that will be some shopping spree.

Have fun Nomore!!

BB - sorry to hear about your DH's friend.. and don't kick yourself - it's natural to feel a bit the way you do - it's a huge thing and we're all very hormonal! Plus they are only thoughts and it you can't have your own thoughts what can you do!

Also if your surge is today you may not ovulate till tomorrow and he may be in the mood for some morning bong you never know..

Have a brilliant time Nomore

Lovely to hear that Bella and Ready completely know where you are coming from, good luck

I got my +OPK today, my DH's friend passed away suddenly yesterday so he is not in the mood for bding. So I might actually miss this month. I know it sounds awful I did not say anything to him but I actually was a little annoyed with him for not wanting to bd. But seriously I need to get my head on straight that is awful and all I could think about was babies, I am worried I am turning very selfish.

Oh Ready - sorry to hear you are down! Hope you break from MN does you good!! [hugs]

Bella - That's lovely news. Really pleased to hear that

Ladies... I can't seem to keep up with this thread, especially after a few days away. I hope everyone is ok.

I just wanted to let you know, I am taking a little break from MN, it's not really helping me at the moment. I am really struggling with failing to conceive, and it is getting too much for me.

Good luck everyone.

Wow that's great Bella!! Really pleased for you! Love messages like that!

Quick hijack for ready and nomore and anyone else who remembers me: Had 12 week scan yesterday, v exciting, little one was hiccuping merrily, really put my mind at rest, good luck for everyone on this thread.

[hijack over]

Enjoy!!!

5 books!! I took 4 and only started one of them as I spent most of my time on MN on my mobile or asleep
