Twinks, lots of handholding here. I'm sure it will all be fine.

SinkyMalinks · 28/07/2013 21:52

What about car doors (do I seem a little obsessed?). Me and ghj both have 3 door cars. I remember being thrown in the back of mums (seatbelt less) fiesta, but with isofix, and fancy travel systems, I wonder if I will be crying out for the back doors.

I laughed at your "we won't be doing that" twink. That's my thinking too. Why have all the mess at home?

SinkyMalinks · 28/07/2013 21:55

Cross post. Handholding. I will be exactly the same tomorrow. It's natural isn't it? Even instadiffer friends tell me they fear the same thing prior to a scan. A friend who had a missed mc at 12 weeks ended up hiding in the toilets and missing her scan (for her now 18month little girl).

JethroTull · 28/07/2013 22:13

Twinks I was exactly the same

pinkr · 29/07/2013 02:42

Both our cars are three door...its a bit of a fiddle but I suppose you can sort of sit on the back of the passenger seat whilst you do the belts up etc.
Its quite an old fiesta we have...think the boot of bigger in the newer ones.

TWinklyLittleStar · 29/07/2013 07:23

Thanks for the handholding and fish. Awful night's sleep, but not long to go now.

SinkyMalinks · 29/07/2013 07:57

Are you doing anything nice for the rest of the day?

TWinklyLittleStar · 29/07/2013 08:01

Not really. Dropping HWCA off to the garage to pick up his motorbike after servicing Hmm

Yesterday was a lovely day though. My birthday barbeque was great, and it was lovely to watch my friends' children playing without that normal afternote of sadness. I did discover that I'm still pissed off with my smug instadiffer 'friend' who upset me at Christmas, and she takes no interest in my life whatsoever. Fuck her.

What are you up to today? I must look like I never go to work on here :)

FrankelInFoal · 29/07/2013 08:27

Good luck today Twinks.

I've got the week off work, we're not going anywhere I've just accumulated too much holiday and need to use it up before the end of the year! We're planning on doing lots of work on the house/garage but I'm so tired at the moment I'm not much use! We're off to Goodwood for the day on Thursday which will be nice too.

We have a landscape gardener coming today to dig some beds out in our back garden. When we started digging them ourselves last year we discovered the builder ad basically made our garden out of sand and chucked about 2 inches of topsoil on top before laying the lawn Hmm After lots of arguing they've agreed to pay for a landscaper to come in and dig out a load of sand and replace t with soil.

SinkyMalinks · 29/07/2013 08:51

I am doing almost exactly what frank is doing. I'm off work this week as had more than a week to take. Not going anywhere, but planning to enjoy so,e time with ghj before he galavants off for the summer (I'm not allowed to say he's leaving me in my moment(s) of need- he gets a bit panicked). Once he gets back from his long mates weekend that is.

Also had big plans to sort the house and garden out, but am exhausted. Mum is coming down today to give me a hand. I'm meant to have emailed lots of builder type people over the weekend, but I've mainly slept instead. Oh well.

pinkr · 29/07/2013 09:06

Good luck today twinks!

Good luck for today twonks.

Hello to everyone else. Nx

TWinklyLittleStar · 29/07/2013 10:53

Thanks pink and norks. Leaving the house in a few minutes so not long to go.

frank what your builders did is shocking! How did they think they would get away with giving people sand pits instead of a garden?

TWinklyLittleStar · 29/07/2013 10:54

And frank is The Hat coming back out for Goodwood?

FrankelInFoal · 29/07/2013 11:09

Apparently it's a common trick Twinks, ours was the last house to be built in the small estate (8 houses), so rather than cart all of their surplus away they buried it in our garden Hmm.

The Hat was hired so I won't be wearing it again this week, though Thursday looks like it could be bloody hot down in Sussex!

TWinklyLittleStar · 29/07/2013 11:59

Its no good. There was an empty sac, no embryo. Missed miscarriage. I cannot even begin to process this.

FrankelInFoal · 29/07/2013 12:05

Oh no Twinks Sad I'm so, so sorry.

pinkr · 29/07/2013 12:32

Oh love I'm so sorry Sad

Nokkie73 · 29/07/2013 13:32

twinks I am so so so so so sorry. I am absolutely gutted for you. Do you have anyone with you at the moment ? Xx

MsJupiterJones · 29/07/2013 13:51

Oh no. I am so sorry.

TWinklyLittleStar · 29/07/2013 14:24

Thanks all. norks HWCA is here. He is gutted too. My friends that knew I was having a scan have both offered to come over but I'm not in the mood to see anyone now.

Nokkie73 · 29/07/2013 14:40

I am glad he's with you. I am really bloody gutted for you. For what it's worth, I think you're lovely and fab and if I was anywhere near you in RL, I would respect the fact that you didn't want to see anyone but I would still pop round and leave a big fat chocolate cake on your doorstep.

Fucking hell, that sounds like a total bag of jumbly shit but I hope you get the sentiment as it's (ham fisted but...) well meant.

TWinklyLittleStar · 29/07/2013 14:42

I get it norks and it's greatly appreciated, thank you.

SinkyMalinks · 29/07/2013 16:58

Oh Twinks. Life is a fucking shit bag of arse sometimes. I'm so so sorry.

I don't know what to say. You don't deserve anything so unfair.

Nokkie73 · 29/07/2013 17:08

twonks I have just caught-up on the other board and thought I would offer my MC experience. I unexpectedly bled (which is how I knew I could be miscarrying) and it pretty much stopped. We were up at CASAF's Dad's for the weekend which was just rubbish. Went to the hospital, which was a waste of time because it was a Sunday and they couldn't do anything. We came home on the Monday morning and went straight to the EPU and they confirmed that I had mc'd. I then had nothing - no bleeding or pain. I was just at home, waiting for it to happen.....a week and a half went by and just nothing. In the end, I booked myself in for an ERPC because the waiting at home for it to start was like slow torture. I just wanted an end to the whole thing. The only caution I would sound with an ERPC is that it could have been a factor in my difficulty conceiving afterwards - the ivf consultant said that it was a possibility. Obviously until they have a rummage around your womble they can't tell for sure but it's something to consider.

I hope that helps.xx
