Hello people, think it's time for a tipsy update! Karaoke was excellent and so was Korean food after. Am exhausted and tipsy. I do still love you guys, and it's mainly been beer tonight.

So happy dp is back tomorrow. I am really hoping that will solve my sleep issue.

My head is spinning a bit, should I try food or more water? Or just pass out? Did I DDT I'm 38 should I have lesrnt something by now about drinking to excess? So many questions.

Ok enough, see you tomorrow my very lovely virtual people.

Xxxxxxxxxxcxxxxx

wombatinwaiting · 26/03/2011 05:21

Loving the tipsy update yellow - more water is key and then pass out! Yum to Korean food too! DH works in airport type job here and he said there was a passenger announcement for a Mr YellowTomato this morning - how about that?! Grin Enjoy your time back with him. Oh and by the way, what does "Did I DDT" mean?!

So sorry to hear you had such a tough day back at work. How wonderful your DH is though. Do give yourself some time to recover and do you think you could get any more time off work - it really will aid your recovery. I know what you mean about ttc'ing and mc'ing seemingly taking over. Do you have anything nice booked up over the next few weeks to think about? What a honey your DD is - I'm sure she'll be giving you some joy during this difficult time for you. Do keep us posted on your bloods update.

Are you campaigning again this weekend worm and topping up with your brazil nuts? Grin and sparkly - another glam weekend away for you or doing something a bit more mundane?

Good to hear from you mana - hope all is well and you're keeping nice and chilled.

Waves to emma, pecka and wellie and anyone else I've missed.

Oh - and it's a bring your own breakfast this morning and there are some panadol in the top right hand cupboard for yellow - tee hee!

Morning girls
wombat yes I did some more village idiot volunteering yesterday, it's all going very well I must say!
Hope you are ok manamama ??
I am off now for the weekend to get pissed and scream at naked men celebrate my good friends up-coming wedding, hope you all have a good weekend.
No symptoms here BTW how about my fellow 2ww ers?

wombatinwaiting · 26/03/2011 07:30

Well done on the village volunteering thing worm - there are a lot of people who sit around and complain about things but never actually get off their bottoms and do anything about it....

HAve a wonderful time this weekend and if you see any nice butts, give 'em a squeeze for me Grin

OP posts:
yellowtomato · 26/03/2011 08:56

Morning all

I thinks it's another bacon sardine day here or maybe a full fry up.

worm I have no symptoms at all, am on CD19, 6dpo, I think. Where is everyone else, wombat do you have the spreadsheet?

I really have to do some housework as I've been more lazy relaxed whilst dp has been away. Grin

wombatinwaiting · 26/03/2011 11:01

Sorry to say I don't other than that you, worm, sparkly and emma are all somewhere on the 2WW and I think Pecka is building up to SWI time - do correct me if I'm wrong ladies!

OP posts:
emmaandthestar · 26/03/2011 15:38

I am on CD25 - is it too early to POAS?
I love the image of a floaty maxi dress but I always end up looking pregnant when I'm not...

I have been feel a bit sick but I think that is just hopeful feeling...
Chocolate chip cookies and mugs of Brew all round.

happy weekend

pecka33 · 26/03/2011 19:30

CD6 for me ladies only managed one day of (swi) so far, need to get on it next week, ha ha in the literal sense too...
Hope all you ladies are doing well, today ive spent most of the day in bed with a very unexpected hangove?? After 2 wine spritzers??? Not sure what all thats about, so im sympathizing with you yellow.
Harrassed thinking of you honey.
Emma, i think its a little early, i would wait till shes due first other wise its a waste of a test, trust me i wasted too many last month after my unusual 32day cycle.

Good evening to everyone else. Xx

emmaandthestar · 26/03/2011 20:04

Pecka thanks - knew someone would say that - I wasted 4 on the Chemical Pregnancy, was sure I had a batch of duds :(

Yellow - are you sure ? a bacon sardine sounds disgusting - maybe you are due for a bfp!!

Not looking forward to an hour less sleep tonight

Harrassed it's horrid when they pick up on your mood or worry about you, mine did the same - at least when they are little they forget quickly...

wombatinwaiting · 27/03/2011 08:13

Ooooh yay! You guys are only 3 hours behind me now not 4 - better get the coffee brewing! Barcon sardines Grin are on the house as it's Sunday!

How long is your cycle usually emma? I am in pecka's camp of waiting til the day af is due, however the temptation may be tooooo much - here's hoping the sickness is what you want it to be.....

Hope you enjoy getting on it pecka Wink. Am a bit Shock by your hangover - are you sure those glasses weren't spiked?!

Wonder how worm is getting on with those naked men.....

Still having such vivid dreams and feeling quite exhausted when I wake up from all the mental processing! No ms, but didn't get that with either of the last 2 but seem to be rather hungry a lot of the time Hmm.....

Enjoy your extra long day today - spring is officially here - daffodils for all Smile

OP posts:
pecka33 · 27/03/2011 11:17

morning, well after a whole day spent in bed i think the wine may have been off, my hubby brought the drinks and it was a family pub so dont think they were spiked, just off.....
Felt very weird all day, almost drunk!! Banging head, off balance, woozy feeling.
Anyway im alot better now so thanks for the brekkie wombat, even if it is a little late.
Waves to all xxx

wombatinwaiting · 27/03/2011 12:08

How strange pecka - like you say, bad wine - not good! Glad to hear you are feeling better today.

OP posts:
wellieboots · 27/03/2011 13:07

Hi all,

I bring a full on Sunday roast for lunch - please enjoy!
Hope you are feeling better soon pecka - sounds horrific, I take it you're not exactly up for lunch, let me know what I can get you and I will order it in

Sorry to hear of work troubles worm - hang in there

Def too early emma - I didn't test last cycle but I was tempted - had an unheard of 33 day cycle and was gutted when AF came on so I would leave it a bit if I were you

harassed hope you are doing ok, big hugs, me me me posts are absolutely fine, that's what we are here for, lots of love to you

please continue with the drunken posting yellow, it is fab! Hope new job continues to go well

waves to sparklywombat nurse and anyone else!

Sparklywine · 27/03/2011 14:08

Ooh, Wellie, the roast smells delicious! Thought I was full of boiled egg but I may find a little corner.

Grin Well not been doing anything too exciting this weekend. My sis popped round with sparklyniece2 who is such a sweetheart. She said she was going to take the baby clothes to charity, then fixed me with a piercing look and said "....unless I should keep them for some reason...." so she now knows we are trying. It's a relief really, I didn't mention the mc as it was a happy gathering and she was really excited for me, plus that happened the week of sparklyniece2's birth and I don't want anything to detract from her. Got the parents coming to stay next weekend so I need to crack on with some housework.

Might also mow the lawn and pop some stuff up into the loft. It's very windswept and interesting in the sparkly household! Grin
Gargh, got to go and rinse hairdye out before it turns orange. Hugs to all, especially Harassed, I hope you are feeling a bit better today x

wombatinwaiting · 27/03/2011 17:32

Mmmmmmmm - thanks wellie - good to see you haven't forgotten how to do a decent roast despite being down under. How are things going generally? Met more nice mums? How is DH's job going?

sparklyniece2 - I love it! Hadn't thought of calling mine that - although obviously not sparkly but wombatniece. Do you think you will tell your sis eventually about the mc? (would understand if you didn't given timing). Hope the dusting goes well - sounds like you're on a mission this weekend!

Very quiet from yellow today - suspect she is all loved-up with sexy French DP enjoying glass of bubbles under the duvet to celebrate his return.....! Am I right in thinking new job starts this week? If so, v best of luck!

What you up to today worm? Sticking cat poo through naughty villagers' letterboxes? Wink - oh course not, you're out chasing naked men - memory like a sieve me!

Hope you are getting lots of TLC harassed and being kind to yourself. Have an extra helping of wellie's delicious roast x

Not much to report from here - spag bol for dinner and M&S extremely chocolatey mini teacakes to follow - nom nom!

OP posts:
wombatinwaiting · 28/03/2011 04:01

Morning all - in a hurry this morning as off on a very unexciting road trip with work today with a colleague I hardly know and we'll be in the car for about 4-5 hours together - Hmm.....

Hope you all had wonderful weekends and are raring to go this week - again Hmm....

It's a grab and go breakfast this morning of takeaway coffee and cereal bars - standards are slipping! Grin

OP posts:
Wormshuffler · 28/03/2011 07:29

Morning Ladies
that hour has got me this morning!
pecka are you all better after your dodgy wine? hope you are not coming down with something, those symptoms sound like ear trouble to me....

We are cycle buddies yellow I don't think I will be this month, just a feeling.....

emma I too always look pregnant in a maxi dress, and as I am vertically challanged they all drag along the floor!

sparkly I too think you should tell your sis , you don't need to be specific on the date, she could be a good support for you over the coming months......

Well the weekend with the girls was fab, we had lots of fun looking around London, we went to trafalgar square to look at the rally, and seemingly missed all the rioting thank god! The naked men were, um, naked Blush and I am growing out of the whole scream like a banshy thing, I really was a little embarassed to be a female!!! The drag queen was really funny though. One of the strippers was gorgeous though!!! We went around harrods and I spent way too long looking at baby equipment silly girl.

My DSinL has announced she is PG, going for a scan on tuesday as she has been having pains. She is only 20 and it isn't planned and she isn't really in that stable a relationship.........hhmmmmm

Waves to all xxxx

yellowtomato · 28/03/2011 08:50

good morning all

Oooh i had a lovely weekend with DP back.......ooh la la indeed! Wink

Sorry you've been feeling poorly pecka glad you've recovered and are preparing for some SWI action.....

sparkly you've got visitors staying next weekend and have started cleaning already? Hats off to you......and if you want some wine, bring your own! Grin

wellie belated thanks for the sunday lunch....I did pop out from under the duvet for a quick plateful.......delicious!

worm glad your weekend was good......mmmm, naked men! I'm not having a good feeling about this month for me either.....except about to start a new job could invoke the law of sod?

emma step away from the tests......too soon, we'll let you know when you can test! Grin

wombat hope the journey is not too awkward....maybe pretend to fall asleep? Unless it is you driving and then that wouldn't work so well!

i'm on a course until Wed this week and then starting new job thurs. I didn't think I was feeling too nervous but I'm dreaming about it every night so must be. And something else to clear up....of course you knew I meant bacon sarnies stupid iphone.

And there will be no drunken posting until at least Friday as need to focus this week and don't want to go to work on my second day with a hangover [sensible grown up emotion]

Hope you all have a good week

harassedinherpants · 28/03/2011 13:16

Hello!! I did you a post last night, but internet went all funny and appears to have eaten it Hmm

wellie I enjoyed your roast yesterday, thank you Grin! Especially as dh decided he didn't want one AGAIN....... selfish.

sparkly are you some kind of domestic godess??? If so, can you please come and stay for bit??

worm glad you had a lovely weekend, and weren't out causing trouble lol! Hmm at sil..... Mind you I was a young mum (18), but was in a relationship and we went on to get married when ds1 was born.

yellow glad you had a lovely weekend, you sound all smiley!!

Pecka Hope you're all recovered today, sounds horrible.

wombat hope the trip isn't too dire, you may have lots in common.

emma don't test!!!

Thank you for all your lovely messages. The weekend has been really hard and I feel really down. I don't want to do anything, just stay at home with dh and dd. I forced myself out though, and am in work today. I've been for my blood tests this morning and it was just awful. I've got tiny veins and then they started collapsing. So have been stabbed in both arms, and the first one is really sore now....

Have good days all!

Wormshuffler · 29/03/2011 07:47

Morning girls
wombat left the door open so I just came in to help myself to brekkie, hope all is well wombat?
Hope your arms are feeling better and not too bruised harassed and that the blood tests give some useful results.
yellow exciting stuff starting your new job! best of lck with that.

I have been feeling really miserable since I found out about DSinL's PG. On one hand I am jealous that this has happened by accident where as we are all tring really hard to no avail ....yet. But then on the other hand I feel really sorry for her, she is only just 20 , her partner doesnt work, they live in a crummy flat and her she will have absolutley no support from anyone, (except me and DH) Oh and she is still smoking Angry
Waves to everyone hope you are ok xx

Sparklywine · 29/03/2011 08:51

Well after yesterday's cereal bar debacle I was sorely tempted to try the cafe down the road, they've got eggs benedict on special this week. Thought I'd pop my head round here first though to see what Wombat has rustled up, and what do I find? Wormy stood in the pantry shovelling cocoa pops (without milk) into her mouth in desperate fashion. I don't think she saw me, she was crunching loudly and murmering with pleasure Grin
Seriously Wombat, you ok? Worm, life isn't fair is it, but everything happens for a reason. I hope she rises to the occasion (with your support, bless) and also knocks the smoking on the head, makes me feel grrr, then oooh, none of my business, then grrrr....

Harassed, I'm not a domestic goddess by any stretch!

I don't like dust, and rambling balls of fluff and cat hair moving like tumbleweed across the wooden floor; depending on where I am in my cycle, I will either close the blinds so that the sun does not illuminate the dust-rovers, or I will get the swifter out, and wipe around bits of furniture, trilling happily.

Neither method is thorough, I'd say I was very neat but not particulary hygienic as far as housework is concerned. In my personal appearance it's the other way round! Grin
The 2ww is about 3 months long this month, endless endless. I think I've stopped shagging too soon; unless I have the luteal phase of an elephant then nowt is happening this month.
Right, eggs benedict calls!

yellowtomato · 29/03/2011 09:07

Morning all

I was really hoping for a sesame seed toasted bagel with marmite today....wombat where are yooooooooooouuuu? Hope you are ok and that this is not long road trip related?

harassed I have big problems giving blood too so you have my sympathy. Last time at the hospital it took them an hour all stabbing away, they tried both arms a couple of times and even my hand! (which was not a success) I almost fainted twice and was a wreak when I came out and had to lay on the sofa for the rest of the day with coca cola and chocolate (well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!) I'm sorry you've been feeling so down, well done for getting on with things....hopefully things will start to feel a bit easier for you.

worm sorry you're feeling a bit blue too....I can really see how that situation would be really hard, I hate seeing pg people smoke (pulls up judgy pants) I have to say that new job has put pg slightly further back in my mind cos I worry now that if I got pg now they would all hate me for taking a job and then going on mat leave......hmmm getting slightly ahead of myself there!

Hello sparkly you really make me laff out loud, do you write as part of your job? (sorry if this has already been covered, I need a spreadsheet like wombat) so where are you up to on your cycle? mine has annoyingly been jumping around a bit so I'll get af any time from this sunday to Thursday. Which makes the end of the 2ww extra fun.

Arrghhh is that the time......must go........

harassedinherpants · 29/03/2011 09:52

If there's anyone guaranteed to make me Grin it's you Sparkly! As yellow says, do you write as part of your job?? Your attitude to housework is scarily similar to mine, expcept we got the official nod yesterday that landlord is selling the house (and we don't want to buy it) so I'm going to have to flaming clean it Hmm. Envy as eggs benedict, yummy!

Worm sorry you're feeling down lovely, it's a really hard situation to find yourself in, but also for her too. You may find this will be the making of her... I also hate seeing prg people smoking...horrible!

Yellow I wouldn't worry about getting a new job and then a bfp..... it must be practically guaranteed in a sods law kind of way?!

You should see my arm!!! All shades of the rainbow over about 15cms.... not too sore now though. Have slapped lots or arnica on it this morning. Oh and I have a poorly kitten again Sad. She can't keep anything down and is on cat's version of dioralyte which we have to syringe into her. She's being wormed again and on antibiotics. Poor tiny little thing.

wombatinwaiting · 29/03/2011 12:11

Hi all and sorry for being incommunicado (and more importantly for lack of breakfast making Blush - don't blame you for switching allegiances!) - road trip was fine in the end - interesting exchange on married life - she has an arranged marriage.... but 5 hours in the saddle made for a stiff wombat. Went straight to yoga last night and then work been v busy today (how dare they!) but all is tickety boo.

Feeling v Sad as it sounds as if my darling sil may be miscarrying - she's just about 12 weeks. We have had quite a bit of email exchange but I'd just like to be there to give her a hug. I am glad that I've been able to answer some of her questions and worries. She has a scan tomorrow and I am on total tenderhooks waiting for news.....

Sorry I can't name check everyone but sorry to hear about your rainbow coloured arms harassed - hope the results are useful. Sending hugs.

Will do a proper post later - got to go to a really exciting meeting about really stoopid people now....
