Bonkers Anonymous - in 2008 lets BD everyother night!!

Hi all.

Carolyn - hope you find your hamster! Mine escaped once when I was little and I remember Dad had to move the fridge to get it out! One night it also spun its wheel so fast the cage vibrated its way off the highly polished table it was kept on and it ended up side down on the living room floor. Needless to say the hamster made himself a lovely axminster nest! My Mum hated the thing! It didn't live very long as I remember (was called Penny).

I am feeling very smug about my chocolate purchases. They had the tins with eggs in 4 for £5 so I bought 2 power rangers ones for Ds1 and Nephew, a disney pricess one for my Niece, and a roary the racing car one for DS2. They also had packs with 15 cadbury cream egg sized eggs of different varieties for £1.50 so I bought one each for my cousins (aged 21 and 14) and one each for Ds's to hide around the garden and do an egg hunt with. That's me done for Easter. Only I did consider buying DS1 a bike from the Easter Bunny but think it a bit too extravagant (he is due a bike this summer so I am still considering it as an option)- plus I will have to buy one for DS2 as well (or an equivalent) and things will get out of hand . Sound familiar to anyone . My New Years resolution to not spoil them this year was going very well until now! .

How did the haircut go ceebee? I found the first one heart-renching even though dd sat still and loved it! Did they let you keep some of the hair?

HC- brillian garden - puts dh's dd's effort to shame! Made worse by the fact that the primoses they planted last week have now finished flowering!

Willmouse - that is a lot of chocolate for £13 I am impressed!

Hope you find the hamster carolyn!!

Wave to everyone else !!

hello ladies

HC - the mini garden is excellent! I'm very impressed. I can't wait to do all this kind of stuff with my own DC. I realise it's prob very time consuming and a pita but it might be a bit fun aswell? and nice to do stuff together?...can you tell I am a hopeless idealist!?

ceebee - hope the dreaded haircut went ok! I know my sisters kids are such a mightmare at the hairdressers so you have my symapthy!

MJIM - glad you are feeling a bit better\

I'll try to catch up with everyone else later!....my hamster has escaped! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

willmouse-it is completely obvious that DD1 didn't make it and she finds herself unable to lie at the appropriate time so can't even persuade her to tell the teacher she helped. She lies most of the time but not when it is crucial so she won't win anything sadly.

Right, off to wee on a stick.

Great mini garden HC - did your DS make it or you? LOL!

I have just bought my Easter egg stock from Home Bargain - managed to get 10 plus a barbie for a birthday party for £13 - bargain!

Mjim, I think I am going to have to start following your example of making notes as I read as I now can't remember what anyone said. Oh well, at least I am here and offering support to everyone, where ever they are in thier cycle.

HC, the mini garden looks wonderful, well done you! As for when to TTC, I am impatient and woudl start earlier, but it really is a very personal choice. I hope you can come to some conclusion soon.

Bellie, have a lovely trip, sounds wonderful!

Oh and ds2 is much better everyone, thanks for asking!

Excuse the typos-can't be arsed bothered to proof read.

Morning ladies

Here is the Mini Garden Changing the pond by painting the cut off water bottle brown to stop the reflection. Hope it doesn't wilt before Thursday. Took me 2 hours and I'm glad it's done as it is pouring with rain now.

willmouse-you really don't need to keep your cat in after his jabs and he will have his jabs immediately you get him.

Bellie-I am trying to maintain my weight and am having the same problem I did when I was last at goal 10 years ago. The booklet says I should have an addition 6 points to maintain which would be 23 but if I eat more than 18 a day I gain so sticking with 17 and if I do indulge every now and again it shouldn't matter too much. Enjoy Budapest and if AF dares to come on hols with you then drown her in alcohol!

I don't know if to start TTC after April's AF which could possible mean a January baby or wait until after May's to that it will be Feb onwards. I usually give birth early (only up to a week) but that would be so close to Christmas again. Decisions, decisions. I mean, I know it won't happen straight away as am sticking to the OV day but then again, it might. Am so dreading the MS though and we are looking to get lots of use out of the caravan and me in the early stages of pregnancy with a toddler and a v. difficult 5 year old won't be any fun. Poor DH as well cleaning out the toilet. Ew! MJIM-have so much sympathy for you. Try and drinks litres of water-I never could hence the banging headache.

Oh, am waffling now. Glad all PG ladies are sticking around.

ceebee-how many days later are you? The most I have been is 9 days which was day 37.

Better go-hi to anyone I've missed.

Morning - I know what you mean MJIM - we are all so chatty it moves on so fast it is hard to keep up! Still at least we have an outlet for everything.

HC - are you on maintenance then to keep you at goal? Can't remember how it works once you get there!! Well done for losing the weight again though. (I am weighing again tomorrow but had a huge TGI Fridays burger and fries at the weekend )

We are off to Budapest next week - so not exactly Easter but close!! DD is having a holiday with grandparents so me and dh get some 'us' time. It could be celebration or drowning sorrows again - Af due when we are out there EEK!!

Ceebee - still awol af??

DD doesn't yet take her trousers off - but loves showing her 'builders bum' as her trousers are still falling down continuously! Hopefully it will be a warm summer and she can wear her dresses with no tights as tights are a major problem for the toilet!!

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Morning Myjob and Majormoo.

MJIM - hope you are feeling a bit better after breakfast.

Majormoo - I will also be here for some time with HC. We are taking at least a month off.

well Friday should be interesting!

Hope you feel better later MJIM

HC I will still be around with you as pretty much having a month off this month (as in none of this BD every other night malarky). MJIM I am OK thanks. Usually I would be in the 2WW by now but can tell things are a bit odd this month. I think it can take about six weeks to have a period after miscarriage, so will be mid -April before we are back to normal activities

Anything good planned for Easter everyone?

Morning all and I am sending positive vibes to all testers! There are loads of you!

Ceebee - sorry AF hasn't arrived yet - I am sending you supportive vibes - my 38 day cycle was hell on earth. The not knowing kills you.

Soosy - hope you find a house you like. Living in Winsdor sounds lovely. My Aunt and Uncle live in Hampton - I am very jealous (living in the boring Midlands as I do).

Question for the cat people around here - when the summer comes I am hoping that I will finally be able to use the patio door from the lounge into the garden to let the boys run in and out (it didn't really happen last year due to rain and the fact that DS2 was only little and it was a pita man to man marking him). Is the kitten going to run out of the house and then run off? If I am going to spend the summer trying to keep it in I may think again.

Internet much improved thank goodness-just got back from WW and lost 3.5 of the 4 lb I put on so only 1/2 above target. Phewee!

juanitad-I remember having to pick my next years summer hols and thinking what's the point as I won't be here anyway. So excited for you.

Good luck to all you Friday testers. Could it be that I will be TTC on my own? I could call the new thread 'TTC with HC'

Right-need to go and egg hunt on Facebook.

Love to all

ooooo goody - soosy so glad you will test on Friday! (that could be 4 of us you know so statistically speaking...well you know what I'm saying!!!!)..fingers crossed

Ceebee, will do my best not to tell people before 12 weeks, apart from family. Told my mum (and dad) almost as soon as I got the BFP - my mum knew that we were trying and has always known how much I've wanted kids. I can't keep anything secret from her, and generally don't want to! We've also told DH's mum and dad and intend to tell my bro and SIL this weekend. It will be hard for them to hear the news I think as they have found out that it will be very difficult for them to conceive. They are currently getting the ball rolling for IVF - their first attempt will be in June I think, but I know that for them the news will be bitter-sweet. My brother will love being an uncle (and will be a great one), but I guess the news might make him wonder when it will be his turn to be a parent.

Didn't realise you were testing on Friday as well soosy, it's going to be an exciting day. Keeping everything crossed for you!

No Bellie no house, I have seen a couple i like, one a complete dump, needs loads (and I mean loads) of work and the other was a really nice layout, but top of our budget. Sadly both are under offer, one has been under offer for ages (the dump) by a developer and it seems they can't thrash out a deal (the developer wants to pay for the house, after he has done the work? (Have cake and eat it and make trifle come to mind)). So I am hoping it may come back on the market, i have told the agent we are interested and she said she'd ring the owner but we'll see. Trying not to get excited at this point.

Testing on Friday, Good to hear you are thinking about it ceebee. Did LOL about DS and trousers, my DS does exactly the same and then rolls on his back and shows me his bottom!

Chickenpox, tried to get DS to get it, told him to kiss another boy who had it, he did and didn't get it.

MJIM, Can't believe its almost 12 weeks!

HM2J hope ds better

Juanitad - the secret is a fab one to keep isn't it!!

Fingers crossed for thsoe that are tessting on Friday xx

Nothing to report here today - dd is being her usual monkey self and winging lots - I think she is tired. Her nursery is attached to a school so she has the holidays - I think she needs them to recharge!!

Is ds better HM2J? I hate it when you can't help.

I hope that it is not chickenpox MJIM - not what you need in the early stages when you are tired as well. Although if he is going to go back to having some naps you must take advantage!!

HC - is the internet working again??

BB, hope you manage to get some energy to start again this month

Have you foun a house yet soozy?

Juanitad-I think there is something lovely about having your secret and all the possibilities that brings, before everyone knows.

Good luck for Friday Angel/Carolyn/Ceebee

HM2J hope your DS is feeling OK now
MJIM-25th isn't that long to wait at all. How exciting.

Hi everyone,

Work today was strange. Everything was just so normal, but in my mind I felt so different!! It's a pain not being able to say anything, but obviously it's not worth it yet. A colleague in my department wanted to talk about what foreign trips we would be organising for next year (I am a languages teacher, and I usually take 2 trips abroad each academic year), and I've ended up agreeing to organise a visit to Paris next summer!! If all goes according to plan then by then I'll have a bit of a handful, and I doubt I'll be to keen too jet off abroad and leave it.....

I guess come May time, when I can tell people, I'll have to plan things a bit differently.

Hope everyone else is ok today. Looking forward to the possible testing from Angel/Carolyn at the end of the week.....v exciting.

Ceebee, it is all so strange what is happening to your cycle at the moment. It's hard to know what to think! I really hope it was an implantaion bleed like you said. Guess we'll just have to wait and see...fingers crossed for you.

HM2J, it's good to be prepared for possible MS. I'm going to try and enjoy this symptom-free time, and then deal with whatever comes along later!!

sorry MJIM - whoops! How is ds? Maybe you could get a nap while he does?? How's th morning sickness?
