Evening ladies!
AF seems to have got me today. warning TMI ...... Had bloody awful cramps this morning, I seem to get it every few months where I have so much pain I'm slumped on the loo crying/heaving to be sick and unable to move/feeling faint. It lasts about 20 minutes then eases off and just becomes mild cramps and bloating from that point. But then next month my period will probably just arrive unannounced in the morning. I don't really understand it. What are everyone else's periods like? Mine tend to be mid afternoon some light spotting then on the 'first day' extremely heavy, I can fill a super size tampax in two hrs. Day two tends to be very light then day three is just spotting. Does this sound normal along with the extreme pain this morning which coincidentally I have only had some very light spotting since later in the afternoon today? Sorry for the mammoth write up on my menstrual cycle but I'm not sure if this is normal?
Anyway - welcome to winter and Kalidasa. winter I fully intend to go back to work if I ever manage to get a baby. I don't have a particularly stressful job though so would probably go back part time but I don't think I could not work.
sorry to hear AF arrived puggy but here's to a few nice drinkies over New Year 
cave I have to say I had forgotten what a busy bunny you are! How are the Salsa classes going? Are they busy? I'd love to try Salsa but there's no way I could convince DH to go - no matter how much he loves watching the girls on Strictly :)
Fairy you sound like me with the crying! I cry at everything and now as AF is pretty much here I'm starting to regret agreeing to going out tomorrow evening as I know I'll end up blubbing by midnight due to lack of baby. Not much crying can do about it but has that affect on me
Josie that book sounds good! How is the baking going? I will definitely visit to eat cake if you do open a shop :)
Hey Sweetie you are not alone, it seems as though a few of us have felt it this year, it is a shite time of year for us childless girls/guys as Christmas is 'all about the Children'. I nearly snapped today when my cousin asked when we would have babies as his LOs would love it (they are 4 and 3 years). I think he may have guessed though as I just went all misty eyed (nearly lost it and cried for the first time ever but then 3 yr old knee'd DH in the groin which just made me wince!!) and said 'we'll see' and it didn't get brought up again.
to anyone I've missed or any lurkers
