The First Time Frolickers leave The Three Follicles to go home and "Do their homework!" The one where all our minutes come at once.

Ok ladies, here's the new thread, let's hope it's a lucky one!

Congrats slowshow

congrats slowshow

Crazy that is shocking! I'm sure the new school will see how great you are.

[slap] for Slowshow for testing early .

Awwwww, you can have a [hug] too! Congratulations! Give it a few more days to build up the hormone levels then take a digital test to see the news in absolute confirmation.

Great start to 2011 ladies, lets keep it up!

thanks CaveMum I hope so as i am really feeling deflated today, thought 2011 was going to be a great year :( All I can do is be myself and be honest, I think I am good and I am still learning so find some things challenging , which is understandable . I also need this job to take my mind off TTC lol

slowshow Congrats on the BFP! May this be the start of a very fruitful year for the frolickers

Happy new year ladies!

Congratulations slowshow on what is hopefully a great start of BFPs for the year!
Here is the graduates page when you feel like joining us

Thanks ladies! (And yeah yeah, I know CaveMum). I'm being cautious at the moment because it's early early days, and I'm so scared of miscarriage. I have a Clearblue digital waiting upstairs for me to wee on it tomorrow morning...

Congrats slowshow!! Let's hope that's the start of a busy 2011 here and in Grads!

I'm staying a bit quiet here, mainly because I've got enough going on without getting too obsessed with symptom spotting.

CrazyAlien That really sucks :( I'm sure it'll all work out though!

Alien that's crap! Hope you get it all sorted and can start soon (hugs)

Congrats Slowshow!! What a way to start the year!

I have decided that I have another imaginary symptom. I am craving milk and yoghurts at the moment. Obviously because I must be pg and need plenty of calcium

I am suffering from a massive shock to the system this morning - back at work . Instead of getting up at 9am, I had to be up at 7am. Thankfully DH is doing the horse or I would have been up at 6am, and probably would have cried. Couldn't get to sleep then when I finally did, had an awful dream about being kidnapped and DH rescuing me and getting into a fight and almost getting killed , dunno where that came from!

Congrats Slow a great start to 2011, let's hope many more BFPs follow soon!

Crazy how frustrating for you, are you able to know the main points in the reference provided so you can respond at all? Hope things work out for you. The darts final was great BTW, did you watch it? So excited that we got to see a live 9-dart finish as well as our English underdog winning through!

Josie my SIL had that craving when pg with her first and it is a sign of needing more calcium It created an hilarious incident when she put 'creamy yoghurts' on the shopping list for her DH and he bought some sort of Ski low fat thing, which resulted in a mental crying fit from the hormonal pregnant lady because they were the wrong yoghurts!

Happy back to work day everyone, hope you are all coping well and don't have the January blues too bad.

Ooo sounds promising Truff! Your poor SiL's DH though

Hey,

Truffkin I have spoken to mu union and I have a right to see the reference to check that it is truthful, fair and accurate, so will see what has been written about me. My file says i am good so surely if the outcome of my being at the school was going to be a crap reference I would have been pulled up on my weaknesses! Plus it apparently says she wont re appoint me, well er .. she did last term!

Will be an interesting meeting for sure!

I watched part of the darts but went to bed as was feeling crappy after the news, especially as I should be in my new school today :( Missed the 9 dart aswell!aarrrrghh

I hope to go next year, when/where did you get the tickets?

Congrats SlowShow that's brilliant news, what a great start to the year for you :)

I am so bored. I hae 11 short essays to write this week. Sigh. They are very boring essays as well, like painting-by-numbers - demonstrate you can keep records, deal with distressed people etc etc.

Yawn.

I should get on with it really.

We are changing our SWI approach this year. Last year, for the last 6 months we have timed it around ovulation without success. Now I just had a mammoth 4 day cyle, I have no idea when/if I ovulate, so we will try the 3 times a week recommendations. Do I have the energy for SWIing 3 times a week????

We shall see.

slowshow woohoo congratulations!

Hi to everyone and happy new year... I hope to see you all in grads very soon and that 2011 is your year

xxx

I meant mammoth 40 day cycle, of course. 4 days, we would have to be darn quick

happy new year lovely frolickers, really hope 2011 is very fruitful for the frolickers and there are lots more BFPs to come! congrats slowshow!

rasberry and zips WOW congrats on the wedding dates!!! VERY exciting!!

Congratulations slowshow, that's brilliant news!

Hope everyone had a good christmas and new year. I was ruined by flu and then AF...the cow

Anyhoo, going to really go for it this month. Does anyone else wish it was summer now?

Definitely FingerCrossed. I'm just looking out of the office window watching it get dark, and knowing that my poor neddy will be wanting to come in from the field, and she might be on her own so won't be very happy (and apparently a crazy horse is attacking anyone who is going into that field, so that'll be fun in the dark!)

Everything is easier and more fun in summer

I am still getting some crampy pains, so much so that I have been checking ERTD hasn't arrived early today. It hasn't

Just a quickie

DH didn't get the supervisor job that he's been working his backside off for the last 6 months for. But he's happy as now the pressure's off and his wage is only going down a tenner a year so perfectly manageable!

Forgot to say this morning that team manager's daughter went into labour this morning with her first baby, no news yet, I'm sure she would have been on the phone had baby arrived

Wooo! Massive but restrained and calm congrats Slowshow

Will try and catch up properly but apologies if I miss anyone.

Alien That's utter rubbish, really hope you get things sorted out chick.

Truff We are sort of trying that approach this month, but the Christmas spirit arrived late so we've pretty much gone for every night for the last week, just one more to go (swimming in EWCM today) and then think it might have to go down to twice a week, exhausted hehehe...

Josie everything crossed for you lovely!

Nothing much to report here other than I got excessively angry with OH's pregnant wife last night after she succeded in getting a rise out of me with the line "You'll just have to catch up wont you?" when we were discussing friends having children. I may have said to her that it's not for lack of trying and then gone into a sulk. Possibly. feeling loads better today though as, as previously mentioned, I am swimming in EWCM and it's bang on time all my Emma Canon stylr positive thinking has clearly helped me, this is the most sign I've had of ovulating in months! Right. Need to drag OH into bed as he's exhausted and I want to get in one more SWI before it passes and we go South for his nan's funeral.

That is obviously OH's best friend's pregnant wife, not OH's pregnant wife...

Toria your dedication to the cause is admirable

A few more days and we will don the shag cape yet again...I feel tired just thinking about it.

Congratulations slowshow you must be so pleased!

alien don't worry about the crap reference my ex head did that to me as well. I eventually found another job and have been proving her wrong ever since. New head reckons she is only going to hire staff with bitchy references from now on! Good luck!

Another quick post but a big wave and hello to everyone and welcome to any new people!

Morning ladies!

Toria that was the most amusing typo I've seen on here in ages! But the pg lady ought to know better than to say stuff like that.

I've recently had a colleague with a new baby ask me why I don't have/want children. I opted for the non-committal approach because I figured saying, "Well, actually, we've been trying for a year" would've made him explode with embarrassment. These sorts of things generally don't bother me. My mother asking me every week if I'm pg, on the other hand...

CD27 here and I'm feeling crampy, so it looks like not timing BD + horrible cold + coffeepalooza had the expected effect.

Same here Tomboy, people at work keep sayig to me 'don't you want to have kids then?'. It's so insensitive, what if we had just found out we couldn't have kids! People just don't think. DH's Mam keeps saying stuff like 'when you have kids you'll have to do x, y and z', you just feel like shouting 'well we've been trying for x months/years, if you stop pressuring us it might happen'!
