tinkispregnantwithpickle · 16/08/2008 13:02

hi i m all shopped out now.

managed to get all of dds friends presents
bought dd 2 pairs of leggings to wear and nursery and 2 pairs of tracksuit bottoms plus 6 tops. some upsy daisy wellies.

SesQal · 16/08/2008 11:23

V inspired but nowhere near Olympic standard!
Just watched replay of Rebecca Adlington - how fantastic was she too!!!
Roll on the cycling medals!! (Literally!)

Diege · 16/08/2008 11:22

err, race I should say, not 'match'

Diege · 16/08/2008 11:21

Morning Ses Snap, watching Olympics too ! How good was that rowing match! Me and dh love the rowing as we met when we were both competing in the European Dragonboat championships (a distant memory!). How's the cycling by the way? Inspired by the olympics?

SesQal · 16/08/2008 10:33

Morning all!

Hello again Dalrymps Glad you found us! I can only echo what the others have said. I'm ttc#1 and am temping and using fertility friend.

Am glued to the tv at the moment watching the rowing. I'm finding the Olymics a bit addictive.....

2BG - Sorry you're going to be taking a bit of a break but I guess sometimes it's the right thing. IIRC, I think cals took a break for a month before she got duffed! I know you've got to think about your timings and everything with your move but I really hope it all works out for you and do lurk / catch up whenever you want!

Diege · 16/08/2008 09:40

x-posts!! Aww 2BG we'll miss you Maybe pop in from time to time so we know you're OK?
Tinks - enjoy your trip into town - I think we are fellow shopaholics . I'll all spent up now until payday, but have my eye on a lovely poncho for dd3...

Diege · 16/08/2008 09:37

Morning! I'm tucking into my porridge at the very moment Cals - delicious, though seem to have a problem with burnt base of suacepan that takes ages to get off. I stir constantly so wonder what I'm doing wrong?
Anything nice planned for today?
Dalrymps, welocme to the thread! As Cal says, we are a mixed bunch, and because we're all at different stages there's always someone who's 'been there' and can answer questions. I think Moosma is also waiting to ttc for Jan? so you're not alone .
dh is taking older dds to party this afternoon, so I'm planning to take dd3 out to a cafe for cakes and drinks. Will take a lot of willpower for me to stick to my peppermint tea!

tinkispregnantwithpickle · 16/08/2008 09:34

morning 2bgs swear i am the queen bee of cross posts lol

take care 2bgs it is good to take a break form here will miss you

tinkispregnantwithpickle · 16/08/2008 09:33

morning cal

welcome dal - i temped using a basal thermometer orally and fertilty friend it is a great idea.
fertiltiy friend is brillant and very addictive, it charts each of your daily temperatures and plots them on your graph, then it will tell you when you ovulated due to a big temp drop then rise.
good luck

i am off into town in a min buying dds friends 3rd bday pressys in elc using amy voucher.
also getting dd some trousers and tops and wellies for nursery starts beg of sept.
wow cal you did have a big breakfast i can only manage 1 weetabix

also have a bid on the item i am trying to sell on ebay which is great

2beautifulgirls · 16/08/2008 09:31

Morning and welcome to Dalrymps

Never tried temping, but lots of people have been very successful using it and get to know there cycles and bodies better. I agree with joining fertility friend.

How are you cal?

I also had porridge for brekkie

Think i have decided to take a break from here for a little while
We have been trying for 6 months now and i know its not a massive amount of time but it feels like forever for me We are suppose to stop TTC after this month due to the move next May, but i don't know if i can Me and Dh are going to have a talk about it all.

Will stop by every now and then to catch up.
So its not a bye but a see you later
Hope you all have a happy and uneventual 9 months or whatever you have left. Will be thinking of you all.

calsworld · 16/08/2008 09:13

Hi Dalrymps - course its OK to join - we're a bit of a mix of waiting to TTC, TTC and graduates - between us we seem to get most questions answered!

Temping in advance seems like a good idea as it can take a while to get into the swing of whats going on - it might be worth you joining fertility friend.com as well - it allows you to plug your temping data in and helps translate it for you.

I've never done temping but it would have been the next thing I tried if we hadn't caught when we did

I have a DS as well and he'll be 2yrs 4mo (ish) when this DC is born, which is a nice gap I think, bit bigger than I'd anticipated orginally but don't think any gap can be too big or too small, it just is what it is and the DC's don't know any different do they?

Where is everyone this morning? I've had a lovely big bowl of porridge for brekkie and probably won't need to eat again till at least, oooh, lunchtime !

Dalrymps · 15/08/2008 22:34

Hi everyone, I started a thread asking advice on ttc and sesqal pointed me in this direction. I have a 9 and a half month old ds called Dylan and dh and I have been thinking about starting ttc in Jan 2009.
The reason we are waiting till then is that we have to finish decorating the kitchen and bathroom and I want to have a drink at christmas without people getting suspicious that i'm not drinking, we also like the idea of that age gap - 23mo+.
I've ordered a basal thermometer and am going to spend the next 4 months charting my temp so I can get a good idea of when I ovulate. Ds was a happy and slightly early accident so haven't done this before.

Anyway thats a bit of info about me, even though i'm not ttc right now is it ok if I join?

lardybump · 15/08/2008 18:09

cals dp doesnt like it either... But I do watch it in the mornings...

calsworld · 15/08/2008 17:59

Big what? I think DH and I watched some of the second series but haven't bothered since as the people in there just got toooo ridiculous and annoying!

Rex is the kind of housemate that is good to watch (for the 'OMG I can't believe he just said/did that' aspect), but would be an absolutely nightmare to live with.

Darnell, I think has ishoos, I think he would be quite a good boyfriend, but then also think he may get too controlling for my liking! And I don't like how he sometimes portrays himself as a victim.

Mo, he just fucks me right off, he is a lying greedy bastard ('scuse language, I don't like him!!!)

Mikey, I hate his double standards, I hate the way he gets louder and louder till he is yelling when he is talking, but at times he is quite funny, and although sometimes in a very wierd way (regurgitating sprouts) he does put his all into the tasks, agree he is too hot headed for head of house.

Rachel, not really got an opinion TBH, I think she did some nice things while she was head of house, but I think she may be very clever and did that to get the viewers votes.

Cat, annoyingly nice, another good to watch, awful to live with.

Lisa, she makes me laugh, but at her, not with her, her and Mario, FFS, one more mention of them being experts in life, and health and safety this that and the other.....

Sarah, I like her, but think she is using the blokes to stay in, and I think people are starting to see through this, and I think the blokes are, which isn't going to help her at all.

Nicole, how she puts up with him I don't know, but then how he puts up with her I don't know!

Did I miss anyone out?

I love 'em all really!! LOL

thanks glask feeling a lot calmer now Just hope baby is ok in there!!!!! I am sure it is so not going to worry to much... CAnt wait to finish today and have a nice long soak..

lardybump · 15/08/2008 17:42

darnell - OK but takes to much to heart.

mo - rude and gready

mickey - annoying, and a back stabber.

rachel - snore.... sorry wake me up

cat - really like her... Mad as a hatter

lisa - Total fruit loop. I bet she has seen little green men (in her padded cell)

sarah - dont like her since she has been leading darnel on. And boy did she lead him on..

rex - love it when he takes the piss but he is also an obnoxious (sp?) git

nicole - looks like darrel hanner in splash. I lost all interest in her when she cried for her suitcase.

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 15/08/2008 17:34

x-posted with LB and missed loads while been msn'ing.... sorry to hear of your horrid day LB.

tinkispregnantwithpickle · 15/08/2008 17:31

cross post lb must be on the same wave length

lardybump · 15/08/2008 17:30

What do you all think of Rex???? And does anyone else think Nicole looks like the mermaid (darrel hanner) in splash....
