I have the Air Hockey and Ping pong tables on order.
I thought it being the first day of term we should move in and make ourselves at home.

jollipops (((((((hugsfromsimoncowell))))))) xxx

ladybee good luck with your stressful week, hope the bed turns up. FX.

And both of you, don't be too hard on yourselves, we'll all get there eventually, some with rockier roads than others but we'll get there together x

Love to everyone else x

jolls sorry you're feeling down today. <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=static.poponthepop.com/images/gallery/simon-cowell-smiling.jpg&imgrefurl=poponthepop.com/gallery/simon-cowell-smiling/&usg=__4-Xyj6Idq9dHw19LHrQCthh998o=&h=620&w=390&sz=34&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=2iKQyEX3hIKKnM:&tbnh=165&tbnw=104&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsimon%2Bcowell%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DOKe%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26biw%3D1116%26bih%3D479%26tbs%3Disch:1%26prmd%3Dnvilo&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=266&vpy=84&dur=1&hovh=283&hovw=178&tx=111&ty=152&ei=UDeXTMPDG4_EOM_EmYkJ&oei=UDeXTMPDG4_EOM_EmYkJ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here is an image to help cheer you up

I am slightly crippled today. All i can face is a bath and perhaps Mad Men on dvd.

Thanks for the good wishes and stuff. here is my last ditch fundraising effort

Grin at SIL catching you, PV. I try to do as much of my boob prodding as i can twice a day in the shower, but sometimes it just can't be managed! Grin

Hope the week turns out ok, ladybee, it sounds full to bursting! FX for the bed.

Off to run my bath, I have a fudge bath ballistic from Lush, just for this occasion. nom nom. if onlyh the bath wasn't 3/4 sized.

owlshoes · 20/09/2010 13:55

YRMOTB you have just made me vom on my desk with that hideous link; tut. Grin

BB what on earth are you doing up at 5.45 in the morning? Tis not right.

Jolls sorry everything has been so shit; glad you feel like you're emerging. I think you're right about leaving a gap before TTC again, trying again immediately works for some but I don't think I'd have been able to cope with it. Time to relax and drink chianti is required I reckon; leave the mentalling and 2WWhinging to everyone else in here for a month or two :)

Fudge bath thingy sounds ace. I want one. An edible version, please.

hairytriangle · 20/09/2010 14:38

I'm with owl on the vomming! Grin

Hi all just popping in to see how you are all doing.

Jolls hope you are feeling better.

digitalgirl · 20/09/2010 15:44

Hello . The more familiar faces seem to be here. Mind if I rejoin? Think I'm finally on the 2ww, but really not sure by how much as didn't do any opk's (took a lot of willpower to resist buying more of those) and temp charting has been a little ambiguous pin pointing exact day. But secretly hoping it's earlier than usual which would make this a 37 day cycle. Almost normal!

How is everyone? I am lazy, could someone summarise the highlights over the past 3 weeks please!

VivClicquot · 20/09/2010 15:54

Hello lovelies x

Just popping my head around the door to send a big squeeze to jolls

Am knackered from stressy and super-busy work, which at the very least, means I'm too busy to get caught up in paranoid thoughts that all is not well. Well, not too much at any rate... Wink Still not made my mind up about an early scan. Will be 8 wks on Weds so not sure I can wait another four... hey ho, we'll see.

Sending you all lots of love, cake, biscuits and sauv blanc xxx

barrenbrook · 20/09/2010 19:57

owl normal for me unfortunately, I either have to be in early for work depending on what's going on, or I get up and haul my sorry ass to the gym before work as I'm crap in the evenings and can never be arsed at the end of the day.

viv if it were me I'd be going for the scan as I'd want to know all was ok. But then that's just me and my impatience!

I spoke to Gynae nurse today and got thyroid results back which were normal (although I forgot to ask what normal levels were.) karyotyping has still not come back so we're still waiting for that. She told me she'd mentioned to the consultant I'd told her about my alopecia episode and he has written back to the lab asking if there should be anything else they should check for as nothing has indicated there is a problem. She also said if we fall then just to ring her and they'll get me in to see consultant and research shows support in early pg helps lots, I've read this myself so to hear it from her was very reassuring. We shall see!

LadyBee · 20/09/2010 20:49

Barrenbrook that sounds like a good conversation - quite reassuring to have people following up on stuff, it restores my faith in the system a bit.

I've gone and lost my letter with the consultant appointment details on it. So very annoyed - I know I saw it before I went to India but it's nowhere to be found now. I suspect dh tidied it into the bin

Will have to call and see whether they can send a duplicate out.

Ooh dinner's just arrived. nom nom nom. Back later.

barrenbrook · 21/09/2010 07:24

Rudely, I forgot to say hi digi yesterday a little less frantic here for us long timers x

Grin at ladybee "tidied it into the bin"

hairytriangle · 21/09/2010 17:49

Um I have some news.....

I just POAS (first response, I'm on day 24)

I am, apparently, upduffed

I am ECSTATIC but a teensy bit scared.

Mantra : it will all be ok it will all be ok it will all be ok.

barrenbrook · 21/09/2010 18:49
