Temping, Testing and Tantrums- We've got it all on THE TCC THREAD!

I second LL. You rock Diege!!

I made another fairly amusing typo today. I put BVAC instead of VBAC. I keep trying to come up with something else it could stand for but am failing!

Diege I just wanted to say that I have briefly looked over our last thread and I am horrified about the way you were treated and the way they spoke to you. I know that it is all water under the bridge now but I wasn't around when it happened and just wanted you to know that you have really helped my over the last 4 months with your kind words and helpful hints. I would have been a mess without you (and our fellow ladies of this mighty fine TTC thread) after my failed attempts.

I look forward to your posts and miss you when you are not here. You make me laugh (You are almost as funny as I am when it comes to cracking the jokes ) and glad to be a member of this thread.

I hope that you are ok now and have put this behind you, I am sending you a big belated hug and hope to speak to you soon....

And this goes for everyone else here too, I look forward to going to work now as I can catch up with you mighty fine people?. Right I am going to remove my nose from all your backsides now??.. brown nose lardy I am know as

I'm glad you got your payrise Playing. Like Teuch said its better than nothing. I get a pay rise every year but its only an extra 8p an hour.

We have had gorgeous sunshine all day. Its been lovely. Shame I haven't been bothered to do something.

sorry I meant squack not squark

Moosma which toys are they? they're gorgeous. do you know the names of the toys?

evening ladies I have not been sticking to my list today. Went to get car MOT so sat in a cafe for an hour drinking coffee!!!! Only on my first glass of water today!!!! and no grapefruit juice in site!!! how bad am I.

Still had a GOF last night (just for fun) and have taken my folic acid. Walked around town as well today so three out of 6 aint bad...

Squark where can I get the stuff you were talking about to thin out my CM? couldn't remember the name of it when I went into town today!!

Cals, they're Jellycat, DD1 has an elephant too, Father Christmas brought them They're very soft, especially the rabbit

THenk you!!

I just did a clear blue which arrived in the post - could only squeeze out a dribble so definitely not enough to get it working! Had to put it under tap briefly and it still came up quickly with a nice strong positive I am sure that is not in the instructions...

Anyway, I have to go and tell my sister now, since we are planning a nght out at the weekend...

Playing - good for you! And it is better than a kick up the you-know-what!

woo hoo - congrats Teuch. )A little late, I know). I'm really happy for you

OOO sorry to hear about the bad night sleep -didn't really have time to read through the thread properly.

Thanks everyone for the congrats. Not sure its deserved for a measley 1k never mind, spose its better than nothing.

Cal my sister (in Cheltenham) pays her cleaner £20 a week for about 2 and half hours work, so probably around about right.

Pop, looks like you will have to get the news from the horses mouth!! (I'll give you a clue, look at the lastest list! )

DS1 still has his Doodles teddy from when he was about 6 months, it is now demoted to the end of his bed, while he looks after DS2's 'new baby' teddy (which is a little bit less smelly and raggied!) DS2 has a tonne of teddies but he only bothers with one that 'Father Christmas' gave him at mums and tots, it is a beany rather than a teddy, and he isn't all that interested it, but it is the closest he get's to playing with a teddy!

Ooh, I took ages to post and there's loads of messages!

Moos - that's really funny! Also, re cleaning, I don't get any time to do any - I'm constantly knackered and despite what they say on the "how to juggle it all and be brilliant mums / workers / cleaners" threads, I can't do it - have just been on the phone to find out how much a cleaner costs....

£11.25 per hour.

So how many hours will I need? Is that a lot?

Playing - well done in your review!

Moosma - Piccies are brilliant by the way! They look like lovely toys too. DS hasn't got any soft toys he really plays with, except a little Iggle Piggle that he cuddles whilst watching In the Night Garden, and then casually discards!

for your payrise Playing, for your sun GJ, it's been p*ing down all day here. Speaking of naughty language, DD1 said 'shit' earlier. Several times. I asked her where she'd heard it and she said 'Daddy said it in the workshop'. I told her that Daddy should have had a smacked bottom for saying that and she hasn't said it again!

Welcome back Pop!

I'm so sick of cleaning! I've done 4 loads of washing and have washed 2 toys. I just sniffed rabbit's ears and they still smell yucky so are soaking again. Also I just turned around from hoovering and caught DD1 drawing on her white top with black biro! Will it never end???

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO there!!!!

Right - whats the news with Teuch? Reckon I have some serious catching up to do!

Afternoon ladies,

You've all been busy on here.

Moos - love the pics.

Well my review went ok yesterday. I still have my job which is a good thing and I also got a 1k pay rise. Quite shit really, particularly as I am underpaid, but as I was the only one in the UK to get any kind of pay rise this year I shouldn't moan. No one else got one at all, not even inflationary and the warehouse staff now haven't had one for 2 years! Still at least I def shouldn't be effected by the scrapping of the 10p base rate now whereas I was a bit too close for comfort before. Damn stingy french company, if all our staff had got the rise the teachers were striking about they would be happy!

Hows everyone else?

I might have to go to the shop when DH gets home to get some food.

I got the point with DS2 where I could have eaten the whole kitchen, including the cupboards, sides, sink...! It did pass, and I tried not to eat much more than I would have normally, else I really would have been the size of a house!

I am so I have been trying to get to sleep on the sofa for most of the day but just not managed it.

Did anyone else feel starving during their pregnancy? I am bloody starving and nothing seems to be filling me up.

OMG, just feel asleep on the sofa, which is very un-like me, I hate sleeping in the day, I only woke up when DS2 was crying his eyes out after his nap! Good job it was before 3 o'clock!!

LOL at pics Moos, glad she is seeming a bit better.

We've not had any lunch or anything
