Continuation of the last thread.

There's cake for scoffing, backs for patting, and screeching death metal for all your metalling moments. All welcome so come on in and get settled into the plush sofas!

Dictionary:

So settle into the mosh pit, we have special VIP area's for those on the 2WW, the new bumps metalling with segregated areas for the first/second/third trimesters and the club class cocktail bar for those who have just got AF and can get-pissed let loose for the first two weeks!

And we have a recently refurbished Mosh Pit Nursery for the graduates IQ Manda and Blue, we are currently running a rota for babysitting so those three can go and get-pissed have some rest! I have done my bit this week so i need the next volunteer!

Thinking of you mrspear well I had a lovely morning taking ds to wave at the queen.

Then came back to an eviction notice from the court! Apparently our landlady wanted the house back to sell at the end of march but noone told us!

The house we were buying fell through last week and we've lost all the solicitors fees and survey fees. God knows what we are going to do now

Moominsarescary · 13/06/2012 15:27

May, not march

MarthasHarbour · 13/06/2012 15:31

Hello everyone. Well we are back. Firstly thank you to everyone for your messages of support - i am a little overwhelmed but they really do help.

The me me bit: I have a baby with a heartbeat Grin i am measuring slightly ahead at 11+4 no idea what caused the bleed but it looks all good. Tracey was lovely once again and told me to stop thanking her for seeing me; she says i should have been allowed to come before a bleed. She is a one person epu department in a busy South London/Kent hospital can you imagine?!

Midget Grin well done for resisting

pebs well done on the appointment (so what about tears not the first nor the last) and i am so glad you will be able to ttc again soon

wilde ; monkey ; confused i didn't chart i just went for the every other day approach then again i am "lucky" it is not the falling but the staying that can be an issue.

goth i do hope your doctor helps out.

confused i pass you a large g & t to help with shit announcements

nosleepwithworry · 13/06/2012 15:33

Hi all,
Wodered if i could join you all for mettaling.

Ive got another thread going at the moment "Holy mother of crap" its called.
This thread was recommended to me on there.

I have read a few posts and it seems to be a very sad thread, Im not sure that it is the right place for me at this time.
That said, i am of course very very anxious and distressed for about 99% of the time. Nothing to do with reading the posts on here really.

Would be nice to just hang out with people who understand.

MrsPear · 13/06/2012 15:43

moomin Shock what on earth are you going to do? As a renter this is one thing that really scares me (that and bailiffs turning up thinking landlady still lives here and she hasn't paid the mortgage)

martha how are you?

MrsPear · 13/06/2012 15:47

Hello no sleep welcome sorry you find yourself here but these ladies are a wonderful bunch!

I have just sent this to the hospital - i know it doesn't flow but i am emotional

Re: Tracy at the Early Pregnancy Unit at Princess Royal University Hospital.
I just want someone to know that she is a wonderful lady.
I have had to visit twice and both times despite being very busy (how on earth they can justify her working on her own i will never know) she has always made me feel that i matter and what is happening to me matters. She is full of compassion and kindness; if anyone was born to do there job she was. All to often miscarriage / threatened miscarriage is just dismissed by the medical profession but she really does show that it does matter. Thank you Tracy.

Moominsarescary · 13/06/2012 15:54

Congratulations pear that is such good news xx

I guess we are going to have to rent again, we did look at one last week, but I was unsure as it's an upside down house, you come in at the front to kitchen, livingroom, bathroom then the 4 bedrooms are down stairs.

wilderumpus · 13/06/2012 15:57

oh confused, what shit. Am so glad I don't work in an office.

YAY mrspear! Brilliant! 11+4! you are well pregnant.

moomin that is scary stuff? Are you ok? Surely you can't be expected to move out with no notice? Sorry to hear about your house falling through. I have never bought a house, it sounds very frightening and am definitely not grown up enough.

Hi nosleep. Is it a really sad thread? I suppose we have had sad things but I find it a very positive thread, really :) I hope you are ok.

hi goth. one day at a time post mc, is all we can do. I am still signed off work and my mc was weeks ago (happily just realised I don;t know how many). I am back to work next week though in my room, on my own upstairs... so not much different then

nosleepwithworry · 13/06/2012 15:58

Thanks mrspear, im Grin today becuase like you, i had a scan this morning that showed i am 6+5 with a baby & a HB...its taken 5 mcs (7 in total) & 5 years to get to this point today.

wilderumpus · 13/06/2012 16:06

whee! congrats nosleep! thats amazing. Hope you ok. offload away if you are metalling.

my kitten won't let me type, very jealous of the laptop!

CheapTarnishedGlitter · 13/06/2012 16:41

no sleep and mrspear what fabulous news!! So chuffed for you both :)

confused does the notice mention a right of appeal? it's your statutory right as tenant to be given notice so if you can demonstrate that this wasn't done could you push for an extra month or two while you sort something out? Our landlady decided to sell the house we were renting last year and we had regular fisticuffs with the letting and estate agents over them being utter douchebags at every step due process not being properly followed. Perhaps give CAB or someone a call if you're not sure?

The court letter isn't clear, I think we have 6 weeks to move. The agency have told the court they sent a letter giving us notice, but we never received anything and now they want us to pay their court costs!

no sleep just read your thread and it is wonderful. Congratulations. We are going to have babies!

moomin Askn them to supply proof .... they won't have it and you can use that as a reason when you tell them to wait.

Moominsarescary · 13/06/2012 17:28

Dp rang and spoke to them, they said they'd sent two letters. Dp said well why did you not send one recorded delivery they said well we posted one by hand dp said well that's just your word against ours. They said well we have proof, we have a copy of the letter. Dp got angry and said don't be stupid that isn't proof you sent anything.

I can't believe you can be taken to court and not told about it.

Thanks bugger we do have an appeal letter from the court. The thing is we do want to move there's just nothing around at the moment.

Congratulations nosleep !

ConfusedMumDotCom · 13/06/2012 18:43

Congratulations nosleep and pear. That's is really great news.

I'm feeling much better now, though I suspect there will be another happy announcement soon, so will have to practice my happy face. Something like this Grin ??

nosleep I'm sorry you felt this is a sad thread. I have found it wonderfully hopeful and supportive.

ConfusedMumDotCom · 13/06/2012 18:44

Oh Moomin that sounds terrible. Have you posted in legal (?) there might be someone there who can better advise you. Wine

Hi allSmile

Just a quickie to say I have had yet another CPSad pissed off with my crappy body and not kept up with the mosh pit happenings... I'm not TTC this cycle I need a break...Sad

JaffaSnaffle · 13/06/2012 19:38

Just popped on, very quickly,

I am so pleased for you Mrs Pear. Such wonderful news, and I really like your letter.

Marbles, I am so so sorry my love. I wish things were different for you. Sending you a big hug xxx

moomin, the house thing is rubbish. I cannot imagine how stressful that is.

Confused, I wish people would show more tact. It is horrible. No one knows what people's circumstances are, but you can almost be certain that in a big office, there will be others who are/had been struggling ttc, with history of mc... Just wish people would think a bit more.

Pebs, I don't think you should worry for one minute that you have done well in the system. The system is not good enough if it leaves people in your situation dangling for months on end, and I am just glad you have worked your way through it.

Martha, still thinking of you and your friend.

I am sorry , I have to go, but lots of love to all I have missed.

leedy · 13/06/2012 19:43

Moomin, that's awful.

And hoorah for good scans for nosleep and pear!
