Hi All, sorry been absent so long - been a pretty tough 5 weeks, but hopefully coming out the other side now. Catheter removal for DD 2 weeks ago didn't happen, she came home in pain, with an infection - the worst diarrhoea and nappy rash I've ever seen (stupid local hospital - didn't do cultures on her specimen, so GOSH didn't know what bugs she had and it caused more delay). Looks like she still has some bugs that have come back this week, so more antibiotics :-( but hopefully after this we'll get a bit of a clear run [hopeful emoticon]
Ses - I think it is really tough on healthy eating when you have to eat late. I've slipped terribly over the last 5 weeks and put at least 5-6lbs back on, but am hoping now to get back on track. I think eating late is difficult but not a complete blocker. When I was doing well the two things I think were really making a difference were 1) trying to eat my main meal at lunchtime at work and then only eat light in the evening (whether this was getting something in the restaurant, or taking in leftovers to heat up) and 2) only snacking on fruit (as much as I liked) in between meals. Oh, the other thing was taking a walk around the building (only a few mins) at the time when I would normally have decided on a sugar/caffeine boost. It was the last thing I felt I could justify seeing as how heavy my workload is, but it really boosted my concentration (let's face it, if I was a smoker, no-one would take the slightest bit of notice if I went outside for a fag!). I don't know if that's any help, but since I need to remind myself of that to get back on track, worth writing it down. I worked out that even if I bought my lunch every day and then just had an omelette or salad for tea, it was still as economical as buying snacks mid-morning and afternoon and having food in the house for a substantial tea and I felt much better for it. Mind you, I have not managed to shift the baby weight in 5 years, so I am certainly no expert - but seeing as DD is still a madam to get to bed and I'm sometimes not downstairs until 8.30pm, I need to find a good way of eating properly - hopefully we'll get a better routine once school hols finish and we adjust to DS being at school.
Kayz - sorry for BFN. Still not too late and October will roll round really quickly, but I know that it all seems to take ages when you're TTC.
Tink - glad appt went well. Sounds like you had a good hol too.
Diege - glad mw appt went well.
Ginger - excited for you at TTC in the autumn 
Waves to Gruff (thinking of you still and glad some retail therapy has at least been helping a tiny bit!), Can't, Bumps, Moos and anyone else I've missed (sure I have... need sleep....)
