hi ladies

new thread

:)

Ohhh i feel a proper grown up... Ive just posted on cbeebies facebook site about one of the characters lack of manners haha!

Bumps how are you today you sounded more upbeat yesterday? Altho the work situation isn't ideal at least you are still getting the family time fun in the snow sounds so lovely! Hope things continue to improve!

I am struggling ever so slightly today with feelings of and ho hum!

Hi all

Bumps- hope you are ok- have been thinking of you.

Bb- why are you and ?

Hi Tink :)

Kayz- your scan pic is fab, congratulations of the girl confirmation :) Do you have some names lined up yet?

Hi Ses- did you enjoy the snow

All good here, though bloody cold! Says it will be minus 8 tonight!
x

Ginger Yeah she's called Rosalie Jean. I am 10000000% certain that is her name and we won't change our minds

I can't wait til next week, I am fed up of walking to school in the snow. I need some thick welly socks.

Lovely name Kayz.

All so exiting. Feels like 5 mins since you had a bfp!

Morning all!

Its chilly here and im like a cat...not a fan of the cold! Just rang DPs work too as he has to leave and walk into work at an ungodly hour he normally texts so I know he got there and hadn't so was fretting!

kayz thats a lovely name and has the added bonus of not being what id imagine to be common, so u wont have the problem we have where we go anywhere and there are 3-4 with ds's name!!
Thats does remind me tho of a story... DS was going to be isabelle rose if he was a she, and we have these friends who are kind of weird, and not very nice (the wife told me that the only reason god didn't make me have PND like hers was because id already been punished with fertility probs!!) and they had a DD a few months ago and used that exact name as 'with your fertility you wont get another anyway' charming!!! Can see why we steer clear of them!!

Ginger jus and as quite a few pg announcements round me and just feel its our turn... Feelings of entitlement get me nowhere though and just make me worse!

To top off my strange / bad mood dp just been told to be on nights next week... Fun!

Hope everyone is better than my mardy state haha

Hi BB
Sorry for - its hard when it feels like time is running away when TTC.
The name/ friend story is crazy. I cant believe people can actually behave like that! I guess if you arent friends anymore, you could still use that name in the future. Hang in there though.... How are you doing on your cycle? are you showing any signs of ov?

I am fairly sure one of my friends will present a scan picture or make an annoucmenent at a meal out next week... to be fair, she has been trying for #2 for ages (has fertility probs) so I will be thrilled but... it will be hard to not feel a tiny bit though
Actually, i really hope I am not wrong about it as she really deserves it after the wait she has had!

I was locked in my mind of having a summer 2012 baby, now that definately cannot happen and the clock isnt ticking for that deadline, I am feeling better about it. I realised that a later date really doesnt matter (no idea why I was so sure it did matter before) and I feel a bit more relaxed about it....
Though- ask me again in a few days as I am about to enter the 2ww I think.

Ironically, I thought work stress etc was causing my delays as things are pretty manic. Felt sure if I took lots of time off over xmas things would be better for a BFP but it was the opposite! Cycle went weird on me !

Back at work, back to manic days and I appear (note appear) to be approaching ovulation on CD14.... all very strange!

crikey sorry for the monologue there.

hi ginger and bb

kay - lovely name

bb - nights sound a pain!! is freezing here too!! luckily i am not doing betteware today i am having a day with dd2 in in the warm
as she isnt in nursery today

ginger- good luck with trying

Well hello everyone!

Been AWOL again. Sorry!

First of all Welcome Back BB!:) great to see have come back to us!

I have got loads to catch up on!

I just wanted to give a shout out to bumps- I can definitely sympathise with you. I have no family here either and DH is working long hours at the mo, we don't see him much at all. We just have too much on and I am still grieving so very down. When I have a bad day, it's bad :( but the fact is, each day you get through you are surviving, and you get that bit closer to coming out the other side. Ds2 had bad reflux and was a nightmare til about 6/7 months, but then he got loads better.I am struggling too. You can only do your best at the end of the day. I worry about the effects on the boys all the time, but I think the fact that you care about whether you are a good mum or not, definitely shows you are a good mum! Don't be so hard on yourself, and I'll do the same :)

Will need to go and have a proper catch up now!

Hi everyone hi gruff good to "see" you!

Ginger I'm on cd 11 and the only real sign of ov i get is ewcm but im not sure a. What to look out for an b. if that even shows im ovulating, as my periods are so irregular . I was using OPKs but then somebody said with having one cysty ovary they may be inaccurate? The whole thing confuses me!

My days not gotten much better came home to boiler making a horrendous noise, 'd'p had jut ignored it so i get to call landlord. Just what i want to do! Landlords v good though and are getting on it.

How is everyone? It snowed here today luckily didn't set! Wedding plans are trotting along even though its not for a while!

I have no heat! Or hot water!Why are boilers such wankers!!!

hi gruff
great to hear from you
sorry things are hard at the mo you have been through somuch!!

hi bb good luck getting boiler sorted

had a gd day today a nice quiet one with dd2

Morning all

Hope you are all ok

BB hope the heating and water are sorted soon

Hi Gruff- lovely to hear from you. Will send you a FB msg

only a quick hello today

byee

We have heat and on top of that dp and i are having a romantic pre valentines night out tomo, with DS staying at the inlaws so a nice lay in too! Lavly!

bb - glad u have heat and nite out sounds great

snow due here tonite [hmmm]

Hi all!

Ginger was back within just under 24 hrs altho still nervy as part needs to be changed, but just had a beautiful shower!

Was just admiring kay pram choice on fb too i love prams!! Also if anyone wanted to add me that would be the best way ( then i dong out myself here haha!)

Kitty (that feels weird!!) thanks im so relieved, we cant really afford to go out but we deserve a treat lol xx

Yay for heating BB I will give you one bit of advice with weddings. The word wedding adds money onto everything. I have been looking at cakes today. I just want a 7" inch round chocolate cake with minimal decoration. Its been crazy as most quotes are around £120 but from the same companies I could get a birthday or celebration cake thats exactly the same for £50. I don't really get it at all.

I don't mind making it myself but its just having the time to do it all just before the wedding.

I was so happy and a shower lovely! Ah yes its bloody ridic! MIL has connections in a lovely hotel so we are swaying that way as will get discount! Gotta save the pennies

weddings r certainly expensive!!
we were lucky in that my parents had a large wedding fund that i had no idea about!!
have had a gd day today
except getting more croaky,sore throat and snffily
glad shower sorted

I am joining the ill wing of the wagon. I feel awful. I've got a sore throat and had a headache all day.

Im not ill but I've had a mixed day a feel like I've had as much as i can stomache...does that count?!

Weddings - for her cake, my cousin used 3 different sized M&S fruit cakes and got the stilts (or whatever they're called - Moosy will know the technical name!) and then bought some simple iced flowers for the top. It looked great and most people didn't know any different!

Gruff - good to hear from you. Grief is an awful thing - sometimes you just want to switch it off and can't and other times you just want to wallow in it as nothing else seems important. Then there are the times when it creeps up on you all unexpected. Take each day as it comes and delight in the joy of your boys.

Bumps - hope you're doing ok.

Ginger - IKWYM about having fixed dates in mind. Dates come and go and the same disappointment remains but eventually out of the blue a BFP will appear and all other dates will fade into insignificance!

Sorry to have some of you in the wagon sick bay. I've got some homemade scones here to share if anyone wants?
BB - hope you get a good night's sleep and that tomorrow things seem a bit brighter.

Hello Kayz , kitty , Diege , Star and anyone else lurking!

I have found a Waitrose iced chocolate cake. I have a stand for it and the cupcakes I want to make. Its just £16 and I can decorate it.

I just want to put some purple vertical stripes around the outside of it.

Morning all

Sorry for sicklies in the wagon sick bag.

Ses- scones sound great, its my favourite home made snack

Tired today. wish I had 1/2 term.

2WW in progress, about 5DPO so far.

Going to make tea, back laters xx

PS hi to everyone else, Gruff, Diege, Rugby and star if you are lurking. x
