anyone trying for a big fat positive in January 06?

[IsawPussycatmommakissingsanta]

Right then girlies..........I know i cant be the only one! If you cant wait to get Christmas out of the way so you can start ttc in January, sign up here! all our ttc threads seem to have gone v. quiet lately, im drummng up business for the luckiest, most hopeful, positive thread for 2006 babydust essential if you can do it! Come on, get your names down, January is a long dark month you know!

When we move we're going to land of leather but we're after a black one. We were offered a white leather 3 piece for £200 but always said we wouldnt have white so gotta pay a bit more I think.

Hope your ok Trace

am ok what about you?? my af came two days after i stopped the pill so heres wishing for you

Am feeling fab.

I should get a withdrawal (AF) bleed soon, but not gonna try until i've had 1 proper AF so I can tell dates properly. Plus by then we should have moved and got new job (if I dont get this one)

how different is it in mat pay if I was to get a new job whilst pg instead of waititng to get pg after i got a job? IYKWIM

sorry not one to ask about that better ask hellomama , shes a manager so she might now more about this

Wow lots of posts added since last looked at this board.

Also talking about moving house but will have to see. need to move nearer to london - Essex maybe.

I'm on day 30 now and still no AF but BFN test on Saturday. Sore boobs seem to have calmed down now but still feeling nausious so very confused.

might go nosing on the web and see what the statutory minimums are. There's bound to be a website explaining it.

Im not likely to go back to work after mat leave maybe part-time but that would be it. Maybe I'm better off finding a new job instead of trying to get this one after all, wouldnt be fair to get a promotion then go off on mat leave and maybe not come back.

Guilty concience now! lol

wannaBe1974 when you doing an other test??

mumswish dont feel like that, if you get the promotion, take it others would

Morning all. Mumswish, I think it's better finanically if you start a job before you fall pg- even just a day. It happened to me in 2003- started job on 7th April and was pg by end of the month. I don't THINK you get statutory mat leave if you're pg before starting a job but I could be wrong. You might still get maternity allowance butI think this depedns on your family income etc. HAve a browse on the web or start another thread as there will be somebody who knows!
As for the sofas, after chatting on here I spotted a for sale thread with exactly what we're looking for and only an hour away! Talk about fate!

Mumswish I wouldn't feel too guilty about getting a promotion and then getting pregnant and leaving. In fact I'd go for that rather than look for a new job - after all it's likely you'd have to lie in interviews etc if you were pregnant as admitting to being pregnant at an interview might jeperdise your chances of getting the job.

Not sure when I'll do another test - want to go out and buy one after dropped DS at pre school but my head tells me to wait till the end of the week.

Hi everyone..!!! Got back last night from trade fair in Valencia...didn't get one chance to check messages whilst out there.

Notherner....don't test too early...if due 24th then try a couple of days before...I did test the day before I was due but only because Trace had got me going!! But she seems to be right every time so maybe you'll be our third BFP?!!

morning hayls wow just looked it looks great, I WANT ONE[envious]

hello corrie hows you?? sick sore boobs, if so good

Thanks for the advice ladies.

Will see what happens over this job, then if I dont get it (should know by week on Fri, hopefully) i'll start looking for new job. Already spotted quite a few so no lack of jobs, infact might start applying for them now, see which ones I'm offered (if any) and decide which is better for me.

The promotion I'm going for means travelling for about an hour there and hour back 2/3 times a week so if theres a better job i'll go with that instead.

Just cos I've applied for a job doesnt mean I have to take it. anyway prattling on now.

Hayls - if youre looking for a sofa and that ones not good enough have a look at land of leather. We're (hopefully) getting a 4 peice suite for only £700 if we can get in this house quick enough.

also ladies have started a diet today, so only doing bding when we want this month,

what do you do mumswish?/

I'm just a receptionist but the promotion is to a contract administrator which means I have to travel to the contracts. (warrington) every few days to get invoives etc.

m i agree if a better job comes up take it, if you pg you might not feel like driving if you get sick, so i would keep looking

yeh, just clicked onto jobcentre page so this should keep me busy for the rest of the day. lol

Hiya Trace,

Hmm...boobs sorer...have metallic taste in mouth & started to have slight waves of nausea but nothing (yet) compared to DD!...Don't fancy much apart from stodge....cheese, bread, pizza, crisps...so have put on a little bit too much weight for my liking given it's only 6 weeks!!!!

Put on 3 stone with DD & it took me over a year to lose it all. Got desperate & ended up going to the gym to have a month intense training. It worked though....& now...it'll all go back on...grrrr!!!!!!!

not if you eat right, for one not two

Well I can see where you're coming from re the driving etc, but I'd still go for the promotion now and if you fall then perhaps start looking for something closer?

Hi I have a PDF of Maternity leave + pay stuff I can cat you and send it or send post the website. I will have to do this later as at work and it's on my home computer.
Hi all, by the way, Lunchtime is nearly over, time to go back into the chaos!

ah well at least your halfway through the day now peachy

I often used to wonder what I did with my lunchbreaks at work before we were given access to the internet! lol

well am supposed to be on a diet but all I seem to have done all day is eat! well there's always tomorrow.

We're (me & DF) meant to be on a diet so we went and bought loads of healthy stuff but we just cant stop eating so I dont think its helping! lol

As for the promotion, I've already applied for it, I'm gonna see what happens if and when I get it as i'm applying for some other jobs as well at the mo.

Thanks Peachy that would be loads of help. If you want to email it my email add is [email protected] Thanks again
