Thats what we think. We'd just be doing the same just somewhere else.

I bought the Nickleback album the other day. I think it is great.

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 10:39

We went to Menorca last year, DS2 was only 8 months, TBH, I wouldn't go again with such a young one, I know people do it, but we didn't feel like we'd had a 'holiday' at all, even though it was with First Choice and everything was geared towards the kids. DS1 loved it though.

Have got Nickleback's album on, 'tis v. good

My mum thinks I am a saddo, I think I get my love of planes from my Dad as he is a huge plane fan.

We must be in a flightpath though they are very very high up. We have planes going past all day. I could honestly spend a whole day at an airport watching planes landing and taking off.

We have been looking at holidays for next year and I have been looking at hotels near the airport as they are also slightly cheaper but DH thinks it will be too noisy. Plus we probably wont be going on holiday now we'll have a 6 month old as well as DS.

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 10:21

We get quite a few low planes coming over for Manchester, low enough to read what company they are from easily, but they only come over this way every now and then. Not sure why, some days we have only a couple, other days we have 20, it must depend on which runway approach they use. Can get a bit hairy though, because we are quite high up, and the planes are relativly low by the time the are flying past here, we have seen at least two very very very near misses, one of them, the pilot from one of the planes must have seen the other plane coming because he banked round so quickly, how the wing didn't clip the tail of the other still surprises me to this day!

I have to say as well, when we're on holiday we try and find a decent hotel that is as close to the airport as poss so we see all the planes coming and going
I think the best one was Tenerife, we weren't very close (as in miles on the road) but the end of the runway was just around a bit a cove from where we were, so the planes take off over the sea (you are a bit fucked if the pilot runs out of runway! ) It was fantastic.

Corfu was quite good as well, we didn't see them landing/taking off but they flew very low over our hotel, you could feel the wind off them

I am such a saddo LOL

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 10:12

ME TOO!!! Oh I would give anything to live near a runway. The hotel in London was in the flightpath of planes landing and taking off at Heathrow and I loved it so much.

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 10:07

Spolisports, can waste many a day watching them, the noise is part of the fun

Mind you, I think me and DH are the only people in the world who would love to live at the end of a runway.... plane spotting anyone?? LOL (It that as bad as train spotting?!!)

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 10:05

They do a lot of training over the moors here. So we see them all the time. Some people moan that they are too loud.

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 10:02

DH does a lot of work up in the lakes, and he has been driving on a road that basically wraps around the mountain. The RAF have training jets around there because of the terrain, and he had a jet come up along side him (obviously DH driving, jet flying) the pilot waved to him and then went full pelt and dissapeared. DH said he didn't know whether to feel proud that he had an actual fighter pilot wave at him, or to be cut down by the fact that the fighter pilot left him for dust LOL

We have taken the kids up a few times to see if we could catch a training session, but sod's law they are never about when we go!

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 09:54

PMSL!!! Bless her.

When we were on honeymoon in Scotland we were walking through Glen Coe and this fighter jet came through really really low down and I was terrified. It was so low down it was below the people walking on the mountain.

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 09:51

Yep that's it Tink, just to cover all angles....

18 hours apart, that might be taking the biscuit a bit!! LOL

God my mum bless her heart, said she was walking down in a big hill just outside of town, looked up and saw the top of two great big cranes over the rooftops, but because of the angle and the sun shining off them, she said they looked like two fighter jets flying really low with smoke coming out of them (???? ) but she yelled a bit and ducked and then spent the next 10 minutes in fits of gigles/shaking like a leaf with my sister LOL She is such a plonker LMAO

excitedtinkerbell · 28/04/2008 09:34

sorry nj realised what you meant as it is good to gof few days after ovulation 2

excitedtinkerbell · 28/04/2008 09:27

i have ovulated nj glad i can relax now and gof whenever

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 09:26

Yeah I suppose so. I think I'd rather they were quite close together not like the twins I went to school with who where 18 hours apart.

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 09:22

I think if I did get pregnant with twins I would try to go naturally, looking after two babies is more than enough with out recovery from surgery as well!

I really am going to stop talking to you now though, I already have a risk chance of having twins, without your bloody influence!

(I am in actual fact going to ring my mum!)

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 09:22

Oh yeah MIL has outdone herself this time. Look

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 09:19

PMSL!!!

I would love twins but at the same time I wouldn't. My friend had hers naturally!!! They were 30 minutes apart. I don't know how she did it!! One of my other friends is only 27 weeks and has already booked an elective CS.

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 09:16

Errrrrmmmmmmmm............................

NO

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 09:16

Don't you want twins Nat?

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 09:14

Oh I see Tink, I'd still keep up the GOF'ing for now, just incase.

LOL Squacky, I did let him once years ago, never again, it is quite possibly the worst thing I have ever had in my mouth. Besides I needed his sperm last night, so (OMG even I am blushing at this!) I gave him a BJ until the omnious tap on the shoulder happened, and then we GOF'ed...... 'tis getting warm in here!!! LOL BJ duty, it is one of the 'conditions' of the 'let's have another baby' contract, he want's a BJ every 3 months, I haven't told him that as soon as I am pregnant he can swing for it!! LOL And if you think I am bad, LL had a list of nearly 30 things to do for her DH! (Am shifting the blame nicely aren't I?!! )

Cosmo, really pleased your period has arrived, it means that next cycle, once you see the EWCM, you will know that period is due again in 12 days time (it may well be 11 or 13 days, but will be roughly the same) Obviously if you were TTC'ing that would be when you do the 1000th first test...!

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 08:52

Argh!!! My cousin's girlfriend is expecting twins!! I had 1 friend have her twins last week and now someone else I know is having twins. So its back up to 4 people I know expecting twins.

I think I must attract twins or something, so beware Nat everyone!!

Squackycake · 28/04/2008 08:44

not necessarily tink it would depend on your Dh's sperm quality. I had sex on a monday and O'd on a friday and got Dd, so perfectly feasible. Makes a girl more likely.

excitedtinkerbell · 28/04/2008 08:29

CosmogirlIsStillWaiting · 28/04/2008 08:29

Thanks Tink - have to say I am relieved that everything seems to be working as it should now.

kayzisexpecting · 28/04/2008 08:29

Hi Cosmo,

I'm glad your AF has arrived. At least you know where you are now. Hopefully your next cycle wont be as long.

excitedtinkerbell · 28/04/2008 08:28

hi cosmo glad that you have an answer
hope that pains go soon
