A mixed weekened then City.

Was your nephew on time?

We spent the weekend trying to entertain the children in the rain and trying to get the house ready for our visitors later this week.

I am strangley still feeling a bit sex obsessed. Don't know what's wrong with me lately. One track mind . I was blaming the nice weather as the sun does put me in the mood, but the mood hasn't passed with the onset of rubbish weather!
Maybe I'll grow out of it .

How are you Ready?

Hope you both have a good week.

cityangel · 27/05/2008 00:09

I hope you both enjoyed the long weekend.

Ours was a reminder of the cycle of life... Friday Granpa's funeral Sunday birth of nephew

3catstoo · 23/05/2008 08:59

Ready I'm glad I'm not the only one with urges at funny times. I could have quite happily followed through with it though.
Sorry about the cold and AF. I'm on the same CD as you. I do think there are lots of colds about as the weather is still very up and down. I had to put the heating on earlier in the week as I had a cold and the mornings were freezing. Then yesterday I was wondering around in a summer vest. Today is cold and wet. There's no telling what the temperatures will do next.

Hope you feel better soon though.

City, lets hope for some sunshine on our bikini day too.I might take your advice about the BJ. He's so tired at the moment though he may sleep through it .

Have a fab weekend.

cityangel · 22/05/2008 23:15

Name your date and time 3cats

Oh Ready maybe you need some vitamins or a herbal boost for your immune system? Sad to hear about CD2 fingers crossed for next month and a naughty holiday

3cats maybe surprise him with a naughty BJ keeping him in the mood for a couple of weeks time?

Ready · 22/05/2008 17:35

Well, I think that if it is meant to be, it will be - and like you say, there will be plenty of other jobs.

CD2 here, so at least I wasn't pregnant before actually starting the job ... a month in would be excellent timing though. Pleeeeeease.

I am pleased to hear that grooming for your bikini day is well in hand

I am sooo looking forward to my holiday. I am struggling with yet another cold and all the crap symptoms, just what I need, I can hardly call in sick in my first week

3cats if it is any help, I always get the urge on my period ... which is weird because I don't actually want it... but the urge is strong.

Right... I better go and get in the shower.

OP posts:
3catstoo · 22/05/2008 15:53

I need a trim there too. Not sure if I would want DH to do it though .

When are we having it?

cityangel · 22/05/2008 01:01

Yay you guys are back! I was getting lonely

I agree with 3cats Ready bugger that there will always be jobs. I was really lucky to get pg when permanent as we started trying when I was contracting and I hadn't been in the job that long... don't worry about it. Just focus on chilling out and getting ready for holiday! dh has agreed to trim downstairs for the bikini day

3catstoo · 21/05/2008 17:42

You don't sound awful Ready. I think you are right, especially as you have been trying anyway. Fingers crossed it works out.

I think AF started today (2days earlier than I expected) but it's a very strange colour. I've had funny colours before but never like this. Not in full flow yet so I will wait and see what becomes of it. No pains but horrid migraine and spots today.

DH has lapsed back into the sex once a week routine again. For some strange reason I am feeling really horny right now (past few days actually) .

DH won't come near me when I have AF so I'm scuppered for a week now.

How are you city?

Ready · 21/05/2008 17:04

New job is alright, I haven't really done all that much yet, just getting set up, just bits and bobs. So I don't feel overly stressed, although that said, my boss made a jokey comment today about me not coming back off holiday pregnant... and I don't know what my face would have looked like because in my head I was screaming "IF I CAN I WILL"!!!! I know it won't be fair on him if I do conceive straight away in the post, but that's life, and I am not putting anything on hold for a job. I sound awful don't I?

How are you doing ladies??

OP posts:
cityangel · 19/05/2008 23:52

Ready how is the new job? 3cats how are you?

cityangel · 13/05/2008 22:38

You're so right Ready. Sorry for your loss too xxx

Ready · 13/05/2008 16:34

It is sad when grandparents die. My grandmother died the year before I got married and I was really sad she didn't get to see me on my wedding day. But they wouldn't want us to be sad. Hang in there chick. x

OP posts:
cityangel · 13/05/2008 16:09

Good luck with your new job Ready. Come and tell us all about it. I hope the people are nice! No more nice garden time for you! You'll look smart in your new outfits.

Dh is doing alright just trying to ignore hearing issues I am sad Granpa won't get to see the little one. Still he had a good long life and he saw the scan photos which is something.

Thanks for the nice wishes Its nice to be able to catch up with you guys

Ready · 13/05/2008 14:39

Oh City, I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather Hugs.

Also sorry to hear that your dh is having hearing problems, that must be so frustrating. I hope they sort him out soon.

I love the 50s era, so I loved all of those dresses - I had a train on my wedding dress, but if I hadn't fallen in love with the one I had, I would have definitely gone for a 50s style one. You will look great as bridesmaid!

Did I mention I start my new job on Monday?

OP posts:
cityangel · 12/05/2008 23:49

My granpa died today He had a good life. I wanted him to see little one but obviously not meant to be still he saw the bump and knows dh will look after me.

I hope things are going better for you guys xxx

cityangel · 11/05/2008 00:36

so it sounds like we need our bikini day in 25 days time, although I may need to get dh to shave my leags and if I'm going to pull it off!

Then we need a wine evening (or substitute) with Ready when she tells us about hols! Great news about the job. You'll hopefully still have the weekend to enjoy the sun! New clothes v jealous. I went wedding shopping with a friend today and it looks like a fun 50s theme! www.candyanthony.com/album.htm I need to lose weight to be a funky bridesmaid!

Dh is seeing an ENT specialist no balance issue just low resolution sound deterioration on the one side... we'll see He is a brave bunny though, its amazing like you say what we take for granted until we don't have it.

I can't wait for BFPs either. Saving lots of info to send and hugs Right off to bed.. dh is v pissed passed out snoring next to me. Boy is he going to be hungover tomorrow! I had a fun evening but seeing my mates pissed, shouting and talking crap is a bit frustrating

Enjoy the nice weather

cityangel · 11/05/2008 00:24

Cityangel homemade lemonade

1 organic lemon - bigger the better
wash so no chemicals/dirt on skin (keep skin on)
Chop into quarters, put in blender
Add 1.5 pints of water
Sugar to taste enough so its not too bitter

  • in my case 2-3 tablespoons of light brown soft sugar (but sure any will do)
Then blend for 10 seconds only Then seive
Ready · 10/05/2008 11:03

Alright girls

I have finally got a start date for my new job ? about frigging time, although just as the weather starts getting good! Tut. Still, I am quite excited about getting settled in before I have my holiday. Ease me in gentle, like.

23 sleeps til holiday

City, how spooky that your dh has been having problems with his ears. I am pleased to hear the MRI ruled out anything serious ? is he having problems with his balance? On of the symptoms of my ear infection was balance problems and dizziness, it has improved loads, but I still get the odd wobbly moment during the day. The ears are so important to our life ? amazing really. I hope your dh improves soon. Is he seeing and ENT specialist?
Wow, I love looking at the pics of your baby growing over the weeks ? so exciting!! Can?t wait to follow you with my own bfp.

Went to Bluewater yesterday to get loads of clothes for the job ? any excuse huh!!

3cats, I have been using a gradual tanner and I am looking fairly sunkissed at the moment, which is nice.
I know what you mean about the added sweeteners, it is the same with squash, we are happy with the natural sugar, but even the ones that are not the ?sugar free? range still have sweeteners, which annoys me.

Right, I should stop waffling, got to get out in the garden and do more pruning and weeding. Almost there.

Enjoy the weekend girls!

OP posts:
3catstoo · 09/05/2008 09:52

Hi girls,

Hope you are feeling better Ready. How long until the holiday?

Homemade lemon jiuce sounds nice City. I would like to try making lemonade. I get so frustratef with the stuff filled with sweeteners. I can cope with the sugar but they put both in. I only drink it with Pimms anyway but still like to get a good lemonade.

It's just strated too pour with rain here. Still very warm though. I managed to go brown over the last 2 days playing in the garden with DD. I did get a bit of a heat rash too though.

I opted for self tan on the legs but can't really tell if it worked.

Yes when shall we have our bikini day.

cityangel · 08/05/2008 00:13

Hi Ready, how are you feeling now? On the mend I hope.

Funily enough dh's issue is with his ears, but fortunately the MRI ruled out the more serious problems for now. But we still need answers so we're waiting to see a different specialist.

Mixed weekend as Granpa very ill. Had a nice trip to the countryside to see father in law

The names we went for I haven't heard anyone mention yet but there's still time! The scan was because we wanted one final chance to get him measured and checked out. Its been the only reassuring thing so far. They check the blood supply and everything very thorough. I posted the picture

Feeling good but nervous like there aren't enough hours in the day. Discovered home made lemon juice as was getting seriously bored and off with the regular juice alternatives.

You'll get there Ready and I promise to post you lots of craving options! Our place is never gleaming pg or not!

You should just go out there in a g string with the stereo on and a glass of wine

At least that guarantees they wouldn't be talking about the lawn length !

The weather is great, good for vitamin K and generally making me very happy! Useful as the hormones can really creep up and grab you sometimes

Right off to bed for a good nights sleep

3cats when is our virtual bikini day?

Ready · 05/05/2008 14:47

Hey girls! Sorry I have been awol, I?ve been feeling rough with the ears? still not perfect, but for the moment I am feeling as if I am on the mend.

City, I remembered that the letter K was liked? did you happen to go with any of the names I suggested? ? marshmallows huh? I love toasted marshmallows, yum. How are you feeling? Glad the scan went well ? so cute that you saw baby yawning
My fingers and toes are crossed for good results this Wednesday from the MRI. I know it is easy to say, but try not to worry. Big hugs.

3cats, I reckon I will be a mashed potato and watermelon together kind of gal (if I ever get there!) ? I have the most bizarre cravings for food as a non-pg person , ice lollies and crisps together the most bizarre yet
You have a valid reason for your house looking like a bomb-site, I had no excuse really, other than feeling off colour, but today I blitzed it, and it is gleaming.

Isn?t the weather gorgeous!! Dh has been away all weekend, and I am useless at mowing the lawn, so I am stuck indoors, I don?t want the neighbours to see me lounging on the patio with a wild lawn that I should be doing something about. One of our neighbours is a bit of a garden militia!

So how are you both? Hope you have had fun weekends. x

OP posts:
cityangel · 03/05/2008 14:32

yes I've been really into sugary foods

We just wanted to check he is growing ok, and all was good whispers saw him yawn and got some photos this time.

I know what you mean about things running away with you. The flat was a mess and it took half the morning to tidy it and its only small!

Off to visit my grandfather later and then father-in-law for the rest of the weekend!

I hope you're enjoying the nice weather

All ok with you Ready?

3catstoo · 02/05/2008 14:59

Marshmallows???? Is that what you are craving? With me it was mashed potato and watermelon (not together!).

There haven't been enough hours in the day this week. My house looks like a bombsite and I don't think it will get sorted at the weekend either.

Good luck with the scan. What's this for?

Have a good weekend.

cityangel · 01/05/2008 23:30

Hi 3cats and Ready, was missing you guys

Going for a scan tomorrow so fingers crossed.
Names went well, we both had the same boys names (with one letter variation) as our top name. Girls we've chosen and both had different versions of it in the top 10

How are you guys? You've both been very quiet. I guess Ready is busy with the new job and you've got your hands full 3 cats.

I hope you both enjoy the long weekend. We're going away Sun/Mon visiting family. Although would rather be at home with a packet of marshmallows

3catstoo · 01/05/2008 19:20

Hi Ladies,

How are you both this week?

Good luck with the names City.
