She has a very ecclectic musical taste my daughter! :o Her favourite song is Dizzee Rascal, Bonkers! But she is also very fond of some Guns n Roses, Oasis & Dolly Parton! :o

Love that OCS track though, inspired choice!

JustShaggingForNow · 20/09/2010 11:06

Hi, how are you all? I have finally managed to catch up with this thread :)

js good luck with the interview! Your boss sounds awful, really hope you can get away from him.

AC sorry to hear about your situation :( I really don't think it's fair on your dh to insist on the map after the event, but hope you can use the chance to talk some more.

Hi wyorkslass :) hope you're enjoying the wedding planning!!

Hi bebe, jbells, mummyinwaiting, 100years and everyone else!

I was supposed to be using the waiting to get fitter, but in recent weeks I completely lost my motivation. Strange, as I love running! Am going to try really hard to get back into it. But I realise now that there are only 2 weeks till I get my coil out - eeek! Just have to get a business trip out of the way next week, and then we're all set!

Hi everyone!

The birthday weekend went really well, everyone had a good time! The weather was ok for the friday night and the activities on Saturday were fab. The bbq on Sat went really well (despite the rain!) and the Jamie Oliver chicken recipe made a big impression! I am sooooooo tired now though :)

I also had some lovely cuddles from the two babies who came (plus lots of "grandchildren would be lovely, hint hint " comments from DP's mum!)

Have you taken the levonelle AC? Bit of a dilemma......

Well done for the 2lbs Bebe! I've managed to lose weight this week as well- I think I was so busy running round making sure everyone was happy that I didn't actually have much time to eat the pavlova, banoffee pie, choc cake, etc etc :)

Good luck with the interview JS :)

JS - she has been making me massively broody lately, she is always really snuggly when she is poorly & it's so nice!

Squirrel - welcome back! :) Not long now!

Strawberry - glad you had a good weekend!

Am seeing my friend and her new baby on Thursday....can't wait to have newborn baby cuddles! :o

AC - how are you doing?

Mmmmmmmmm Banoffee.......... Grin

AC sending your hugs - hope that you are ok and are not being forced into anything you don;t want to do.

Hi everyone! A busy day on the train! Sorry I have been AWOL I just finished work. I took the pill this morning, so that's the end of that. I wish I hadn't suddenly had all that EWCF, it was really weird timing. It looked very favourable for conception.

Glad you enjoyed yourself at the weekend, Strawberry. It sounds like you did it justice!

Bebe so cute about your DD (little Waterloo) she sounds so adorable.

AmandaCooper · 20/09/2010 20:19

JS all the best for the interview tomorrow. Hopefully your bad throat will clear up in time.

I'm ok about it, thank you to everyone who posted, it made it all much easier. DH seems quite glad I'm upset by it all, he says hopefully I've learned my lesson.

Don't know where to go from here contraception-wise. Condoms are ruining our sex life, because as soon as they come out of the drawer I feel totally deflated. Clearly I need to go back on the pill, or have the contraceptive injection - something that I can't do anything about once I've had it.

Hi everyone,

Been busy again, working and other stuff, plus internet has been off and on for the past few days, and tonight is the first chance I've had to get on here with working internet!!!

Liking the new thread.

Hugs if anyone needs them.

I seem to be OK about it at the moment, not sure how long this will last, not worrying about it though if I get twitchy either.

Catch up with everyone soon.

AmandaCooper · 21/09/2010 08:30

Hello 100yrs good to hear a positive attitude! Must learn from your example and stop being so obsessive! It can sometimes be difficult to find the time/opportunity to post much, can't it.

How's everyone else this fine Tuesday morning?

AmandaCooper · 21/09/2010 08:32

JS what time is your interview? Let us know how you get on!

jbells · 21/09/2010 08:43

hi all, hope everyones ok,

so got some news turns out drs and pregnancy tests can b wrong as turns out i am probably about 6 and a half wks pregnant! have took about 5 more pregnancy tests just to make sure and all positive including to clear blues that came up with PREGNANT, wasnt goin to tell u all till ive had my scan, as im worried something may b wrong seems it took the hcg so long to show up, but cudnt keep it in any longer, fingers crossed everything is ok, the dr didnt even bloody give me a prescription for folic acid, my dr really is crap!

so looks like a may baby for me, i will have a 25 month old and a new born its hitting home wot hard work it will be lol

100years · 21/09/2010 09:23

Aaaah jbells congrats, that's lovely news. I've read a lot about tests not showing until people are up to 8 weeks pg before now, so it's not unheard of for it to take so long. Are you having scan at normal 12 weeks or having an earlier one?

jbells · 21/09/2010 09:33

thaks 100years i have no news when scan will be yet went drs on friday to tell them bout positive result afta she told me thats with 3 neg tests it wasnt worth her doing one lol, she then just sed she will send me out referal form and asked wot hospital i wanted to go to, but still havnt recieved referal form, its horrible as i dont want to get to xcited till i have had scan and no everythings ok, im so tired and cant sleep had ab out 3 hours last nite my mind just wont switch off and when i am asleep im having really scary vivid dreams

100years · 21/09/2010 09:42

I can only imagine what that wanting to be excited but trying not to be excited feeling is like. You are I think first on the train now, you will be the first 'mentor' about things now, maybe you should be more worried about that (I am of course trying to make a joke, but it's a bad effort at one)

jbells · 21/09/2010 09:51

lol, i will try my best to be a good mentor, altho i cant really be any help on the TTC as i have never had to try, this month i missed a couple of pills and had sex twice in 6 weeks lol, the odds on me conceiving must have been near none, guess it was meant to be :)

100years · 21/09/2010 09:56

Oh absolutely meant to be. :o

jbells · 21/09/2010 10:05

thanks :o

100years · 21/09/2010 10:14

Well, my OH has surprised me with a weekend away, he's booked everything and I didn't know about it until all the details were final. :o How cool is that?!
