The Elderberry Pavlovas, sausage bouquets, one giant sofa and the Gü pots of destiny! (thread 9)

[Bunnygirlie]

Come on ladies, this is the one! Time for some BFPs!

The smallprint- Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, must have a special pot, NO instadiffers)

I'm not too far off you boodle so do understand. No pre AF spotting like you but post making AF last 7/8 days in a 24/25 day cycle.

Thanks kitty I'd like to think its coz i'd make a good godmother but when you have 4 kids it could just be she's run out of people

Had meltdown earlier, squabbling with hubby as we'd left it too late to book hotel for next weekend and I ended up crying, no idea why! I am just crappy these days, I can cry about anything!

Oh well, dirty weekend away now booked, AF leaving and looking forward to 4 day weekend with my old man (40 next weekend), hopefully we'll get some practice shags in, Friday will be CD9 cycle 12 (grrrrr it should have been day 12 damn late AF) so the hope all starts again!

hellooooooo is there anybody there?!?

I fell over at work and hurt myself! And spilt gravy on customers! And then ran off crying like a chump! At least there weren't any preggoes in today..

Boodle and anyone else with AF arriving, boo. Sorry she got you.

Tally so sorry about the rabbit. Am already feeling fragile after the Great Gravy Disaster so burst into tears reading that! Hope you're feeling better hiding in your amazing sewing room. When I was little I had a fabric mushroom house that had little finger-puppet mice living in it. This is how I imagine your sewing room to be...

Bunny glad you got your dirty weekend booked despite the tears - maybe it'll be nice that you're not in SW, at least you can just have lots of bonking without the babymaking pressure

Hope I didn't miss anyone - can't scroll up!

boom sorry to hear about the great gravy disaster of 2013! Ouch

I'm here!! Hello Bunny!
Had a mad weekend, ridiculously busy non-stop since Friday afternoon and just emailed my planning off for tomorrow and am going to sleep!!

Can I just have a quick at the girl sat on the packed train home this evening, who sat with her bag on the seat next to her when people were stood in the doorways and all the way up the aisles as the train was packed?! I asked if anyone was sat on that seat and she smirked and said no, but did nothing. I asked if I could please sit on it then, and offered to put her bag on the overhead shelf and picked it up before waiting for an answer (it was a small wheelie suitcase, hand luggage sized, which I had picked up easily with one hand). She said no because she wouldn't be able to get it down again?!?! I looked at her, now absolutely determined I was going to sit in that bloody seat instead of standing for an hour while her bag sat on it, and she made a huge fuss of asking loads of people to move out of the way so she could it on the floor near the door where people were having to stand as she 'didn't want it to be in the way'. I said a very short 'thank you' and sat down in the seat, immediately turning on my kindle so I could read my book instead of fume silently.
How rude?!?!

Tally sorry about the rabbit

wimwam were you able to watch on the monitor as they did it? Did they tell you what they found at the time or was that at a later appointment?

Boodle CD14 here and it's not even shag week yet! I find the waiting this side more tedious. Now I know my cycles better I don't have much hope at all in the 2ww 7-day-wait so I'm quite glad they come and go quickly (whilst retaining a tiny bit of hope that the Vit B6 may have worked a miracle this cycle). Got a letter today reminding me to call on the first day of my period to book my HSG, but AF won't be here for over two weeks yet. Why did AF have to come 3 days early the one time I wanted it to be late so I could start a new cycle after the fc appointment?!

You want to be careful with that tea bunny, going on today's form I'll probably knock it over on you!

Ouch boom can I get you a plaster? There there......

Thanks barking. Want me to 'accidentally on purpose ' spill gravy on Rude Train Woman? She would have wound me up good and proper!

That would make me happy, thanks boom .

Here to help

barking yes - you can watch it all on the monitor, quite fascinating - in a weird way! And so he told me all my results there and then and pointed everything out to me.
Posting and running as am hoping for a quick Dtd mid match of the day before late kick off... Now guess which of us is prioritising watching teams they have no interest in over getting the job done?!

Grrrrr barking train woman sounds like she needs a slap!

Definitely agree about annoying train woman....grrrrrrr. Why are people so selfish?

yorkie thanks for asking, it's this week! So get results at the end of the week- fx!

Got to dash, back in a bit for more....

There was an aibu thread like that the other week. it went on for ages, then someone decided to start a troll thread from the woman with s very tired handbag. hilarious. but only in retrospect - she sounds like she needs a kick up the arse.

So here's a Monday morning question for you berries!

It's our 1st anniversary on Friday. I've got the day off but need to be writing essays (apart from acupuncture at 12 haha), and he's working in the morning/evening. I'm working all day/night Saturday. We're pretty much broke...any ideas for something nice I can do to show him how much I love being married to him without a) taking me away from my essays for too long and b) spending too much?? ARGH I'm crap at surprises...

Also didn't think I'd be spending my first wedding anniversary getting stuck with needles to try and get me up the spout. We were meant to have a baby by now . Kind of wish we hadn't made the decision to try while we were on honeymoon...makes me remember it with mixed happy/sad emotions now.

Ahh boom happy anniversary! Don't look back and feel sad, look forward and think about the good things to come.

Sounds like a special lunch treat is in order. What about a picnic? (if it's warm enough!). Or you could have a glass of bubbly with strawberries in a big bubble bath or just naked?!

I thought picnic too boom
Don't know how much you and your DH are into your music but how about a cd that you've put together of music you/he likes, songs from the wedding party, your first dance etc?

Hm, Friday looks set for rain. Maybe we could have a carpet picnic! Sadly our bath isn't big enough for me and him (shoddy new build bathroom!!) so maybe it'll just be a naked carpet picnic with bubbly and champagne??!

Sounds lovely- put a nice rug down though (avoid carpet burns )

Yeah nice music, some food that you can pick at and a glass of bubbly sounds fab.

Boom if the weather's nice, maybe a long walk where you could talk about all your favorite parts of the last year, followed by a nice homecooked meal? we did something along those lines on our 1st anniv, as we were both poorly.

Grr on behalf of berries with knocked up SILs and thoughtless friends/family. By and large I think people speak without thinking way too often!!

1 w of my 2ww down, 1 to go. DTD on CD8, 10, 11 12 and 15, our worst ever, but hard to not have a tiny bit of hope, so we'll see.

In other news, spoke to GP today who remarked that my referral request to a neurologist was 'routine' and could take 'a while' to come through. I reminded her she'd told me that she'd said she'd request an urgent appointment since we're TTC and the neuro would have to see me before a FC would agree to. She then said she'd put that in the request letter. She must not realize that I have a copy of that letter, and our TTC isn't mentioned anywhere in it. Is that sort of info included in something I wouldn't necessarily see, or did she just lie to me (or meant to include it, but forgot?)? Should I follow up on this, or just presume she did what she said but that it isn't reflected in the copy sent to me of the referral?

Sorted! I shall invest in some M&S posh nibbles so I don't have to waste time cooking, and may even break out the raunchy knickers to serve them up in!

Fingers crossed for an anniversary baby...?

Sid in my experience the letter is all that the consultant receives, they won't look at your details/notes until the appointment. So I would bring it up again with your GP, if she has noted that elsewhere then she can tell you so. Better safe than sorry I guess!

Happy anniversary BOOM!!

sid I would phone the consultant's secretary and let them know that you need an urgent appt, but I would also phone the go to ask if they could clarify to then too as you have s copy of the letter and can't see it mentioned...

I'm waiting for my gynae letter to come through so I can phone and ask to be out in the cancellation lust but it's not coming through so I might just call anyway soon.
