WTTC Apr/May/Jun Graduation thread

141 replies

Hey, this is a thread for all the graduates from the Waiting to TTC thread who are going to start trying April/May/June. We've all got to know each other too well to just bugger off on our separate ways now! And if any of the Waiting crew who are still waiting want to pop by there will always be cups of tea (or something stronger) for you!

So, grab your folic acid and your sexy undies and get comfy (possibly with your legs in the air...?)

like I said on another thread TTC seems to have kickstarted my latent hypochondria, so I totally get where you're coming from Mellie!

Chocolate cakes - natch!
I made a choc chip one with choc fudge sauce last night because I'd forgotten to make anything for pudding and DH had 4 of his flying buddies over! My God but those men can eat!

thanks guys :) massive bar of chocolate consumed yday and eating a bag of wine gums today. Kinda off food atm. Having been on the pill 8 years i kinda forgot how bad this time of the month was when i was 18 :( dh out for the day so i can st in my pj's, wallow n moan on my own and hopefully feel more human by the time he gets back! lol

mmmmmm chocolate chip cake n chocolate fudge sauce sounds sooo fit! I love making cakes/tray bakes. we may have to swap recipies in the future. Last week i made cherry bakewell cake. Didn't last long! lol

DarciesmumandBump2 · 16/04/2011 14:30

Mellie Don't sit and wallow on your own. I'm sat next to DD who's asleep in my bed after having a very busy morning doing her stage school play. Tempted to fall asleep to but keep needing to pee :(

melliebobs · 17/04/2011 13:20

A much better day today. Got up early to watch the F1, bin the gym and done 2 spinning classes, done the big shop. Now I'm going to make some chocolate chip cookies :)

DarciesmumandBump2 · 17/04/2011 13:26

Mellie Good to see your feeling better. We got up to watch the F1 can't believe button came 4th grrr made DP happy as Lewis came 1st.

Been to the in-laws today just watching the London Marathon now and hoping DD finishes her dinner without a fuss. Will be soo chuffed if she does.

melliebobs · 17/04/2011 14:23

I'm a bit miffed I got up to watch it cos it didn't finish before I had to leave for the gym so ended up recording it n e way! Grrrr could have had an extra few hours in bed!

DarciesmumandBump2 · 17/04/2011 14:34

Lol! The gym is far to much energy for me on a Sunday. DD is my gym even at 6yrs old. She seems soo grown up already. Scary to think she'll be almost 7 when this bambino makes an entrance!

The cake was easy - just a basic choc sponge 4/4/4/2 with 2 tbsp of cocoa powder then i chopped up a 100g bar of choc and mixed it in. The sauce is easy and if you make it thicker you can have it as choc fudge icing as well. (bear in mind I make this by eye so I'm just guessing the quantities - taste as you go and adjust the ingredients to make it more as you want it)

3 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp golden syrup
2 tbsp butter
milk

put everything except the milk in a bowl or jug and microwave for 20 or 30 sec till the butter melts. Stir vigorously and add milk until it's the right amount of runny :-)

Also nice on ice cream or in sundaes.

And yes, I got a couple of pieces ;-)

I keep trying to make myself eat healthily, but I'm so tired it's making me queasy and all I want is sweet things.

Ooooo that sounds nom! Might be something to have a go at this weekend. Making copius amounts of banana loaf tonight for a team away day I've got tomorrow which isn't going to be fun so at least there'll be some good treats there and of course if has one of your five a day in it! Lol.

Know what you mean about the healthy eating! Every weeks a new start I get to Thursday n can't be bothered. And to think I work in a healthy lifestyle team! Didnt help that someone had brought doughnuts into the office and had cracked into them at ten! I'm the opposite though. I crave savourie things recently. Especially prawn cocktail crisps n they are RANK!!! controlled myself so far today. Got me big bottle of juice on me and suppin on that when I want to nibble defiantly helps! It's just times like this when my patients don't turn up n I have a hour to kill I get bored n snack. Bin n done a 1.5 mile walk to kill the time n keep me busy.

DarciesmumandBump2 · 18/04/2011 15:02

Cakes Might have a go at the at the weekend.

Healthy eating cakes - anything with apples pls.
