Just wanting to wish WYorks a happy wedding day.

Sorry everyone's been generally feeling under the weather/having so much snow related hassle. We're desperately hoping it holds off here in London as we're flying out on Tuesday eve for our really really really long overdue holiday! It would be a right pain if planes get grounded again because of snow!

Bebe, maybe if your tenants are that ridiculously flakey you had a lucky escape with them in the long run!

Right, got to steel myself to go out in the cold to buy my niece an xmas pressie!

nannyl · 28/11/2010 08:09

Good morning all

OMG what a cold one it is.... currently -9 at our local bbc weather point (about 5 miles from here) Shock

WYorks hope you had a fab wedding day,

Bebe sorry to hear about your rude tennants and agree you probably had a lucky escape... would you want people with suhc low moral standards living in your property?

Good luck to WW and 100y keep us posted, am thinking of you Smile

Hope everyone has a nice relaxing sunday.
Im not up to much, finished all the paper work for all my children for this term last night.
Need to write my Xmas cards today ready for posting on 1st.

bebe you have no need to be Envy of snow... it has now become nasty ice [grr]

thankfully the raods were well gritted and even the smaller ones cleared so its just the pavements (and our ungritted cul de sac!) that are leathal!

bebejones · 28/11/2010 09:24

Very Very icy here! Looks so pretty (not as pretty as snow! Can't help it, I love it, and actually don't mind driving in snow Hmm not fond of driving in the dark when it's raining heavily though!)

Nannyl - you are so organised! I have all presents bought, but haven't found the will to write all the cards yet!

Agree (sort of) about not wanting people like that as tenants...but just really need people in there. Just sick of DHs constant black mood & snapping :(

Good morning all.

I'm all lurgified again :( Lost my voice and coughing again, feeling really lousy, only one more shift to go then a few days off, just hope I can get through. AF still not got me fully yet. I think I have sorted it in my head, was only the first proper month trying, still we get to do more trying next month, lots of birthday sex!!! Grin

Bloody freezing here. OH had gone up north for a race, spent loads on travel, B&B etc and the race was cancelled this morning :( So he's on his way home.

AstroZola · 28/11/2010 20:26

hey lovely ladies...i'm feeling the cold very much and i hate the snow and ice...my windscreen froze when i used screen wash on it today...brrrr

on the upside...DP has talked about us having kids on 2 ocassions over the wkend...things seem to be looking up...although i don't want to get my hopes too high just yet...

hello whywait

wow so AF is officially late and you havent tested.
I think you need a medal for being very restrained...
Hope AF doesnt arrive, although if it does we will be trying at almost the same time next month!

Good luck x

strawberrypie · 29/11/2010 10:48

Hi everyone,

Hope everything went well for WYorks over the weekend!

Like people have already said bebe- better no tennants than those who might wreck the joint and bugger off. Fingers crossed you find somebody else soon though x

Get well soon 100years, no fun being ill especially with all the emotional upheaval at the moment :(

Envy Quod! I'm sure the plane will be ok :)

I had a lovely weekend visiting OHs parents- wwent to see a band and had a lovely day looking round a farm that had animals and shops with lots of crafty things.

On the downside ! am still having to ride by bike to work and things are getting interesting now that it is snowing here!

strawberrypie · 29/11/2010 10:49

and I can't type, oops

100years · 29/11/2010 16:23

Hey everyone,

Feeling really really rotten today, poorly sick, OH is trying to cheer me up, and has been doing his usual stuff that makes me laugh etc, it's just ended up with me in tears :( I just want to hibernate till I'm all better.

nannyl · 29/11/2010 17:06

100 years

so sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly Sad
hope you feel better soon.

We have had a snowy day, well snowy morning. when i walked out my door we had no snow, by the time i'd de iced my car it was snowing, and when i eventually made it to school we had really heavy snow which layed properly.

As a result i was late for school, but then so were most of the children so it didnt matter.
The day seemed chaotic as as we have to offer free play all the time we were constantly helping the 3 year olds into the water prrofss / coats / hats / scarfs / gloves / wellies, and then changing them back again when cold.

The forecast for tonight is heavy snow all night, so not sure if we will make it in at all tomorrow or not. (Tuesday is my worst day of the week so I'm hoping not!), but we will see!

Hope everyone else has had a good day?

No more baby making news here...
am just partiently waiting for AF so we can start properly TTC! Smile

WhyWait, sorry to hear that :( Hugs. Looks like there will be a few of us next month all trying together.

Got a roast cooking, I've feebly de-headed the sprouts and delegated some tasks to my OH. I feel shite and I do not want to do anything at all.

Nannyl, hope you get AF soon so you can start DTD :)

nannyl · 29/11/2010 19:23

whywait... sorry to hear that. Next month you will be about a week ahead of me.... hang on, which means you should be able to text Xmas time? wow what an xmas present that could be Smile

I'm Expecting AF Sun (or maybe Mon as Ov'd a day later than normal)... For once i cant wait, so that i can get on with DTD Blush

bebejones · 30/11/2010 06:59

WW - So sorry :( Fingers crossed for next month

100 - sorry you are still feeling so rotten, hope it passes soon. There are some nasty bugs out there at this time of year! :(

I won't be boarding the Sept bus! :( AF got me this morning (sort of expected it) so that means it'll be too early for me this cycle. Can't TTC til Christmas eve & that'll be well past OV! Fingers crossed I'll be on the Oct bus (God (and DH) willing)

Had a hospital appt yesterday which was fine. Only slight downer was the news that a drug that we had been hopeful that I might get (after DC2) has not be granted an EU license (it has one in the US Envy). But that's not like it affects me that much yet anyway! Had to have more blood tests coz the last lot I had at the hospital showed a raised white cell count! Fingers crossed the next lot are normal & I'll get a clean bill of health for TTC! :)

Oh and exciting news....we have snow!!! (Not much, but I'm still as excited as a kid at Christmas!!)

Morning all from my sick bed. Still rotten :( got AF too along with a sharp knife being stuck in my stomach. I'm overjoyed obviously. Staying either in bed or under blanket on settee today.

Hope ur all good.

Quodlibet · 30/11/2010 09:43

Morning all

Sorry you're still feeling ill 100. Do you get sad/hormonal before AF? I never thought I did but since coming off the pill evidence points to the contrary Blush, I was a beast to poor DP last week and then cheerful as anything as soon as AF showed up. I'm really not looking forward at all to the waiting part of TTC as waiting for anything that may/may not be happening makes me horrendously stressed and grumpy.

(On a philosophical point, in Spanish the verb for 'to wait' and 'to hope' is the same, 'esperar'. Which is kind of apt in the 2WW context, isn't it?)

On the subject of hope, please can everyone cross their fingers that Heathrow doesn't freeze this evening and ground planes? At least the tubes are back on. Thought I had everything sorted but sleeping bag has disappeared so I have to go out in the sleety blizzard which we currently have in London to buy another one. Grrr. Or Brrr.

100years · 30/11/2010 15:57

Hey Quod, well I was feeling quite glum for a week or two this month, had a shit run of shifts which led to me being knackered, didn't sleep well which compounded the issue, nearly passed out at work, did a test which was BFN, spotted on friday which led to me crying, and woke with full blown lurgy on sunday, cried on the supervisor because I felt ill and then got AF this morning. So this month is quite an odd one, plus with it being the first proper month TTC I suppose I had a few hopes up for it working.

On other months I am sometimes hormonal, sometimes less so, I think there is always an element of it to me, have suffered with depression in the past and feel like sometimes it's just lurking waiting to get me, this is usually the week before my period. My OH is great though and looks after me and doesn't expect me to be any different if I am feeling hormonal, in fact I think he rationalises it too well at times.

I like the spanish version of wait and hope meaning the same thing, maybe we can be esperars next thread.

Will keep my fingers crossed you get your flight tomorrow.

I'm not sure I'm catching the September bus next month, we are still going to be trying, but I'm finding all the talking about EWCM, 2WW, symptom spotting, dates etc etc is driving me a bit mad and focussing my attention on one thing only, and I need to try and be as chilled as possible. I'm still going to post in here, as it's not the only topic of conversation in here IYKWIM.

jbells · 30/11/2010 16:43

hello all, well it is like an ice skating rink out there today very dangerous and DP has a meeting 4hours away tomoro so i am really worried i wish they wud canx it but doesnt look likely :( also hate trying to find things to keep DD amused in this weather she is at an inbetween age where she wants to be occupied but a lot of stuff is to grown up for her yet.

100years- r u feeling slightly less lurgified yet? hope u have better luck next month. i think the symton spotting is natural and near on impossible not to do

quod- my fingers r crossed for you. i am very hormonal week b4 period me and dp have lots of arguements around this time usually he at the grand age of 31 still doesnt seem to understand hormones and doesnt think they can be blamed lol

bebe- is there any hope that the drug mite be granted a license in the near future? hows the talks going with DH? did u enjoy the snow today, i hate it hehe

nannyl- wots DTD Blush

strawberry- you r very brave riding a bike to work cant believe your managing it in this weather

Whywait- i hope next month that u and everybody else trying gets lucky :)

astro- looks like good news on the baby talks front :)

oh has anyone been watching im a celeb i record it and then watch it in when i can as DP doesnt like stuff like that, oh my god i was crying laughing when they had them being spys and stacey was nodding and winking and then threw a stone or rock as dom thought in his eye, dp thought i was crazy i was laughing that hard

AmandaCooper · 30/11/2010 19:55

lucky train must be going through a tunnel. Sorry I haven't been around, I've been completely self absorbed for the past week focusing on this job interview and haven't been around.

bebejones · 30/11/2010 21:18

AC - hope everything is going ok, keep us posted on the job front!

100 - How you feeling? Sounds like a really nasty bug! I hate being ill & having AF at the same time, you just don't want to move or go anywhere at all :(

Quod - that is so nice about the Spanish! :)

JBells - not sure about the drug, there is another one which is about to apply for it's license, so fingers crossed!
Have you tried making Playdough for your DD? Used to (and still does) keep my DD occupied for ages!

Is our wedding anniversary 2moro. DH gave me my present tonight (just something silly) a magic 8 ball!!! :o I have asked it...
'Will I be TTC in the New Year?'
It said...'Yes'
'Will I have a baby this time next year?'
It said...'positively'
:o
Highly accurate & scientific & I am taking this as gospel! Wink
