here's hoping...thanks x

Nannyl - that book look so lovely! What a lovely momento. :)

Satsuma - DH has had some really awful panic attacks. On in particular when I was 8 months pregnant with DD I had to go & get him from work & rush him to the GP. He genuinely thought he was having a heart attack & that he was going to die. Was really scary. He had some counselling & sessions with our lovely GP who taught him to recognise the signs of when one was building & stratagies to help him cope. I really hope they can help you too. It is so hard, and people aren't always very understanding.

Strawberry - DH will have some time off from just before Xmas until just after New Year in as much as he won't be going in to the office! He will no doubt have work to do! :( He very rarely wants to do anything when he has time off as he is so knackered. Makes 'family time' a bit dull when he just wants to sit & watch the rugby!!

Bebe- How about a family trip to watch a rugby match over xmas? I find car journeys are a good time for conversations...non-confrontational but you are both trapped there with nothing to do apart from talk (although this plan involves you and DD having to sit through a match Hmm hmmm, sorry if you are a fan!)

100years · 25/11/2010 22:45

nannyl I would really like that book too, it looks lovely, I reckon that will be an immediate purchase when (positive thinking) I get a BFP.

Hey everyone else, been busy busy in here.

Not really caught up, OH is listening to something and it's causing a lack of concentration in me.

Hope you are all OK.

I'm still feeling a bit off, infact I felt very off today, bad head before I went to sleep last night which I woke with this morning, terrible feeling sick so took an anti nausea tablet. Feeling bloated and horrible now and was ravenous when I got home. It's all just symptoms I've probably had before at various times, but because of where I am in my cycle I'm obviously counting them!!! I must stop this!!!

bebejones · 26/11/2010 08:49

I had awful awful nightmares all night last night! :( Hate that, don't feel rested at all!

Still no sign of snow here, possibly some next week Hmm

Strawberry - I don't mind the rugby, it's different when you are there rather than watching it on the TV! DH takes it way too seriously though! It's just a game FFS!

100 - Stop with the symptom spotting!!! Wink Easy for me to say, I know it's hard! Just have the weekend to get through now don't you, before POAS?!

Happy Friday everyone! Mimosas & breakfast being served in the restaurant car! :o Just tucking in to a virtual full english (which beats my RL half a banana!!)

Good morning all.

Rough as F* this morning. Headache still there, still icky sicky and got to go to work. :( Boo hiss.

I think I said welcome to Astro, but not to MrsSatsuma, very sorry, if I missed you, welcome. :)

Have a good day folks.

Yep Bebe, kind of have monday in my head for testing! Even though it's only about the time I am due on. I am resisting until then

jbells · 26/11/2010 10:50

100years- hope u feel better soon and that the sickness passes, hope u manage to hold off testing till monday, i am rubbish at waiting think i just like peeing on a stick lol

bebe- i had nitemares last nite too, i was dreaming i was running away from sumthing and i was breaking windows, jumping off building, swimming thru swampy things all to escape something but im not sure wot. and half a banana, your virtual breakfast sounds much more appealing, ill add some american pancakes wish lashings of syrup

nannyl- book looks lovely i always say im going to write in one and never do

waves to everyone else :)

bebejones · 26/11/2010 11:29

JBells - if you're having dreams like that now, what will they be like when the really crazy PG dreams kick in! Shock

At the walk in centre after nearly passing out at work. :( good thing I work with paramedics. Doc said prob viral, paracetamol, rest and a recommended a pg test! Thing is now I feel like I'm imagining everything and it'll be negative. I will keep u posted. Just waitin on a lift back to work.

MrsSatsuma · 26/11/2010 14:25

Good luck 100 [crosses fingers for you] Hope you feel better either way

jbells · 26/11/2010 15:04

we have just had some snow, not heavy and didnt stick thankfully

bebejones · 26/11/2010 16:19

What the f#@? is wrong with people?!?! New tenants didn't turn up at the flat, and are now cutting DHs PA off (she is managing it for us)! They have been harrassing her all week about moving in & she took 3 hours out of the office this afternoon to go & meet them! We have previously had 4 lots of people arrange viewings then just not turn up! Seriously, why can't they just be polite & cancel if they aren't interested?! Angry
So once again we are tenantless, knew it was too good to be true. Think we must have wronged the Universe in some way, we have had the worst luck over the last 2 years!! :( Just want to cry!

100 - that doesn't sound too good, hope you are being looked after & taking some time off x

OP posts:
MrsSatsuma · 26/11/2010 16:34

oh bebe, poor you!! That's just rude (unless they had some kind of emergency.. just made me wonder, if they've been hassling her all week about it). Would it be unethical to ring with a witheld number just to find out what's going on?!

On the plus side, it's Friday, so maybe a large bar of chocolate and a relaxing bath would help? (I tried this last night but our hot water keeps cutting out, and filling up buckets to empty into the bath took too long and resulted in tepid water... eurgh...) I'm sure you'll get someone soon - lots of people aren't rude, inconsiderate pigs :)

bebejones · 26/11/2010 17:36

They text to say they were running late. Then an hour later still hadn't shown up & were just letting the phone ring through to voicemail & then were cutting it off after 1 or 2 rings!

Just so angry! Angry Can't believe how rude it is! If they didn't want it, fine! But FFS 30secs to ring & say 'we have changed our mind' isn't too much to ask is it?

Ranting now, sorry guys!

Things were looking so good, & DH & I were planning a celebratory Chinese when DD went to bed & I was going to 'talk' to him. Was much needed quality time together. But now he has come home & barely said 2 words to me & is sat upstairs in silence! The chinese is off, coz now we are back to watching the pennies! Hmm :(

AstroZola · 26/11/2010 18:46

100years - do hope you feel better soon...sounds awful

bebe - i'm terribly sorry to hear that you're feeling so bad and going through these things...is there any way you can try and get DH to talk to you about what's on his mind? or could you just make him listen to you by talking at him about everything? x

we have snow here in South Wales now and it sucks and i'm working all weekend...it took me 45mins extra to get home tonight...not looking forward to driving to work in it tomorrow...i hate the snow...we also had a puncture this morning so was late for work...pah!!

jbells · 26/11/2010 18:58

evening all

bebe- thats sucks youd think common decency wud prevail and that they wud tell u if they were no longer interested, y dont u get a cheap chippy instead, and try and convince DH to sit down and eat it with u

100years- how u feeling? i passed out last wk i was diagnosed with complicated faints a few months ago had to have brain scan and dif tests but everythin seemed ok, so horrible, hope u r feeling better now

astro- i am with u on hating the snow, we have had some here today, the worst thing is most my family lived in malta and it is 21c ova there :(

AstroZola · 26/11/2010 19:27

jbells - jealous of the Maltese living...my Dad was born there on a Navy ship...he's still technically British though...ha ha

bebejones · 26/11/2010 19:32

Just wanted to pop on & wish WYorks lots of luck for tomorrow! Hope the snow doesn't cause too many problems & have a lovely day! :)

Will be 'back' later I'm sure!

AstroZola · 26/11/2010 19:36

my grandad was in the Navy...i don't think he's ever been back...

100years · 26/11/2010 22:10

Hey gals,

I'm home again, worked the rest of my shift, just feeling 'off colour' all day, have no idea what's wrong. Test done was a BFN but I'm not due on yet and it was a cheapy test that said it's 99% accurate the day after a missed period, so I'm not thinking either way at the moment, prob not pg, but it's not confirmed until AF visits really. Feel really knackered and tired. Not sure what's wrong, all I know is I'm not 100%. Will shut up about it now.

I can't believe the change in the weather, I have had to defrost my car 6 times in the past 3 days, in the morning before work, then when I'm coming home again, the day before yest I finished at 6pm and still had to defrost it then!

Good luck and have a fab day tomorrow WYorks :)

How is everyone else?

Bebe, you're having rotten luck at the moment :( Hugs.

nannyl · 27/11/2010 07:18

Happy wedding day w York here in w Yorks I have real snow and 4cast snow all day so I hope everyone makes it and u get some lovely photos,

bebejones · 27/11/2010 09:31

Happy Wedding Day WYorks!! Really hope the snow isn't disruptive for you & is just a nice free decoration!! Wink

Nannyl - so Envy of your snow! I must be the only person I know who wants/likes it & we have a dusting but not anything significant at all! :(

OP posts:
jbells · 27/11/2010 09:35

have a lovely wedding day wyorks :)

100years · 27/11/2010 12:21

Well I didn't test this morning as I had some bleeding last night, there is no blood this morning, but it often happens like this for me. Had a little cry last night when I mentioned it to OH, just the wait now for AF to properly arrive then it's take 2!!! I am gutted, as I really want it, and as soon as possible, but I'm doing better in my head than I thought I would be.

We have had a dusting of snow here, not much but enough to make it look white and pretty for a while, went to the farmers market and there was a real reindeer and a donkey there! Very cool.

Working tonight, have a bit of a cough and a bit of a croak off and on, so I'm slightly under the weather, but as yet no near fainting.
