The smallprint - Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooh we are strict...please note your house may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments lol

Morning everyone. I'm having more travel nightmares as if the missed bus, missing luggage, and tiny hired car on the way out weren't enough we managed to miss our flight to New York. By 24 hours. How TF does anyone do that? I am that muppet. Had the whole 4 week trip planned out on a grid calendar with all info on it, and somehow managed to write down the flight on the wrong date. Neither of us checked, and I don't feel like I need to take all the blame as DP has been constantly in touch with his SS to say when we'd be arriving, and he booked the flight and didn't notice there was a difference between our itinerary and what he was telling his SS. He also got the '24 hours notice of check in' email but didn't read it properly. We managed not to argue about it though, he didn't blame me and I just about managed not to cry when it cost us 3x the price of the original flights to fly today....

Wedding plans are going ok, most of it should be sorted.when I get home and can start making phone calls!!!

Boodle9 · 25/08/2013 17:29

Oh dear, Barking! I hope the new flight went smoothly at least.

Having a boring day here. CD12 and as with last month, no signs of ovulation occurring yet. Did eventually manage to get a bank holiday bonk in last night at about half past midnight then had to force myself to stay awake to go and pee after a bit of waving legs in the air. Geez, this TTC lark is just NOT romantic!

How's everyone else?

Bunnygirlie · 25/08/2013 18:03

Ooh so many Berry brides!!!

lady boo to the BFN!

barking your trip sounds like a nightmare!!!

boodle yay to a bonk holiday bonk lol

Busy day here but guests all gone now so just chilling! My little niece was just so cute, and my nephew too, oh how I wish they had some cousins!!!

Bunnygirlie · 25/08/2013 18:06

And CD14 here and no +opk either! Usually get one on day 13/14 so maybe no ov this month Sad

bunny how'd the barbie go? Not too cold I hope?

Tuts at lady because she knows full well not to pimp at dpo! As much as I'd like to be the next bfp you're still in the game atm!

Oops maybe barking missed her flight when we locked her in??? Seriously though it sucks when you have to pay fro flights you don't use. My lady job decided I could only take a week of my holiday so I bought an earlier flight for an extra £580! Then they said I could take the whole holiday after all!!!!

So been for a carvery and to see ilisium (which rocked by the way, if anyone fancies going to the cinema)

Bunnygirlie · 25/08/2013 21:26

Hey kitty BBQ was good thanks but had to eat indoors, sun came out as everyone left, bloody typical!

BlindKitty · 25/08/2013 21:56

Bunnygirlie · 25/08/2013 23:01

That home decor thread is funny; we have a couple of feature walls but, in my defence, they were here when we moved in and I'm too lazy to redecorate.

Good luck for tomorrow, Kitty; hope you're feeling ok.

barkingtreefrog · 26/08/2013 04:26

kitty what is a lady job?! My mind is boggling.

BlindKitty · 26/08/2013 08:14

bunny well no, probably because I've had no many if them now lol!

boodle bunny I have a brown leather sofa!!! It's bloody lovely though, I don't care what anyone says!!!

barking my 'last' job! Oops!

Well got awoken to a text from my friend to say she'd had her baby last night Smile but she'd called her the name I was saving for my baby Envy Angry. Wish I'd best her to it!!!!

BlindKitty · 26/08/2013 08:15

*beat

Boodle9 · 26/08/2013 09:42

Kitty, glad your friend's delivery went ok but 'boo' to your name being nabbed! I presume you're too close to use the same name and for it not to be weird?

An acquaintance of mine had a baby boy earlier this year and she used BOTH of my preferred boy names; one as first and one as middle! Meh.

Boodle9 · 26/08/2013 09:46

Also, where is everyone?! It's been so quiet here yet we had all those lovely new faces a while back.

HELLOOOOOOOOO? (Hears echo round the empty Berry lounge.)

Where's everyone at? CD 13 for me and really hoping for a positive opk later, just to reassure me a bit that things are (for now) doing what they're supposed to.

kitty what a bummer! Fancy somebody having a baby and using your name grrrrrrr

Did you call *boodle? I'm here! CD15 and I haven't had a +opk yet either, I don't think it's happening this month Sad

Where is everyone?!?!?

I liked that home thread, don't think I'll be able to walk round The Range/B&M again without thinking about twigs and pebbly shit! I've also got a brown leather sofa though, didn't realise that was so bad!
Boo Kitty and Boodle to the baby name stealing, luckily I have no idea what name I would give to a baby but I do know what pushchair I want and I would be gutted if a friend bought that one before I get the chance.
Going to pick up our rabbits now from their holiday home, I've missed them!

BlindKitty · 26/08/2013 10:44

boodle it's only the middle name but its also the name of my recently deceased grandmother! I might just use it to spite her lol!

lady really? I'd just key her but it and then ask if I could have it afterwards lol

Well just waiting for dildocam number 4...come on follicles!!!

Yes to the worst party ever thread, Bunny! That poor little girl; I'm astounded at the food time segregation!

Just got the last bonk holiday session in. Come on positive opk...

happylass · 26/08/2013 11:50

Morning Berries!

rumisyum · 26/08/2013 11:50

Shock barking, what a nightmare. Makes our 250 mile drive yesterday with a diarrhoeal cat after a blazing row sound positively splendid! Hope you're enjoying your trip now though! I'm v envious of a month away.

Kitty we're Oop North, near the Lake District for a week. The weather is gorgeous. Grin Hope dildocam 4 is the lucky one!

Happy bonking to all on bonk holiday shag duty! I really think 3 day weekends should be the norm.

Snowlily · 26/08/2013 11:52

Hi berries, happy bonk holiday! & apologies- been AWOL for a week. Had a lovely weekend away in the Cotswolds last weekend & had visitors this weekend, but (producing plate) I bring gf scones & left over chocolate & cherry roulade :) -am I forgiven?
Hope you have fab follies kitty & hope the rest of your travels run smoothly barking
Cd 17 for me 5dpo, had first proper acupuncture session last week with some cranial massage (to alleviate stress mostly caused by mil-acu/nutritionist lady was horrified by tales of mil & suggested giving her brochures for long cruises,lol) felt wonderful after session: soooo relaxed & OH was amused at how chilled I was (managed to avoid pigeons on the way home ;)!). Acu lady said 'lets stimulate lots of lovely eggs' made her laugh when I said one will do!
Sun is coming out yey :) enjoy the day berries

Bunnygirlie · 26/08/2013 14:35

Afternoon!

boodle still waiting for my +opk too! DH just jumped me which is good as this morning he wasn't up for it. I did PIMP this morn but haven't dipped yet, I keep meaning too but the DH appears and I don't like to add to the pressure (is that grim as its just sitting in the bathroom cabinet lol)

Yay to the bonking for fun happy ! I'll be back on MFP tomorrow, got to have a good week before posh do on Saturday!

Ooh rum that journey doesn't sound like fun!

snow where in the Cotswolds did you go? I live on the outskirts :-)
Thanks for theCake nom nom nom

I had reflex yesterday and my foot is still bruised so she said she wouldn't squeeze that ovary too much, made me smile!
