Hi E.L.R sorry A.F turned up. Have some lovely chocolates and wine. xx

Writerwannabe83 · 26/10/2013 11:23

I'm sorry to hear that ELR - I think we were all keeping our fingers crossed that this was your time. So were there no BFPs yesterday at the party then? Sad

My birthday celebrations were lovely last night! We went to the restaurant and whilst we were queuing for a table my husband said, "My parents are over there..." I followed my gaze and what do I see? A huge table, covered in helium birthday balloons and happy birthday banners, presents everywhere and my parents, Ben's parents, my sister and 10 of my closest friends, some of whom had traveled quite some distance! I was absolutely go smacked! The shock I felt just hit me and I started crying! I walked over to the table, looking at everyone and trying to take it all in...it was just immense! And I got some really lovely presents, it was just the best night ever. My husband had planned it weeks ago apparently!! Little monkey Smile

Thanks everyone, just had Mars ice cream to make me feel better! Woke up with horrendous headache and can feel I migraine developing so am feeling really crap.
writer that's amazing my eyes have filled up with tears reading that and I can't even blame pregnancy on being so soft!!

Have a great weekend everyone.

mama31 · 26/10/2013 18:32

Awh writer that's so amazing what an absolut sweetheart your husband is :) that's such a lovely surprise!!! You deserve it too :) so happy you had a great Birthday!!!! :)

Writerwannabe83 · 26/10/2013 19:34

Thanks mama, it was the best night I have had in a long time. I have been feeling a bit down over the last few weeks; worried about the pregnancy and having cabin fever from being stuck at home etc and last night was exactly what I needed to put the smile back on my face Smile You're right, he is an absolute sweetheart and our little boy is going to be so, so lucky to have such a wonderful daddy Smile

mama31 · 26/10/2013 20:47

And mummy!!!!!! :) awh that's so lovely!!!! Very happy for you writer!! You are very blessed :)

onelifeonechance · 26/10/2013 20:52

mama31 · 27/10/2013 16:34

I think I have party withdraw lol can't wait for the next one!!!!! :)

HalfPintLulu · 27/10/2013 17:13

Give it four weeks or so and I'll be attending another party! Need to get anew outfit for this one though.... Think that's where I went wrong on Friday - I blame not having a new outfit for getting AF today!

mama31 · 27/10/2013 18:16

Yes halfpint! Get a new frock!!! And looks like there will be a party soon given that I'm back in the fertile window already!!!!! But I'm not testing early this time......not sure I can wait until 13th now for the blood test.....as I'll be about 15dpo by then!!!! I must admit I'm not sure I could wait until 15dpo to test, I will try.....but I reckon I'll prob do a FRER on 13dpo! that's good for me....im usually testing from 7dpo (redic I know!)

HalfPintLulu · 27/10/2013 18:30

Lol... It's so easy to say 'I'll wait to test' them you get to 7dpo and think, I'll just do a quick one, then at 9dpo etc etc...

I did loads of IC's this month! I'm going to try and be good this month too. Maybe we should have a not poas party!

mama31 · 27/10/2013 19:07

Yes halfpint I absolutely love the sound of a NO POAS party!!!! Yay! Good thinking! We can encourage eachother not to test!!!! :)

mama31 · 28/10/2013 19:39

Have faith in me writer :)

Writerwannabe83 · 29/10/2013 14:27

I do, I absolutely believe you can do it, I'm just intrigued as to how hard you will have to fight to resist the urge to POAS Smile

mama31 · 29/10/2013 18:35

Writer I am a woman of my word....if I say I'll do something I always do it....likewise if I say I won't do something, I won't do it.....well that's the theory in the rest of my life.....hoping it applies to poas too!!!! :/ we will soon find out ;)

onelifeonechance · 30/10/2013 07:38

Of course I will Co-host, id be honoured to. Wells up, gives Mama a squeeze then springs straight into action, first off its down to the DIY store to buy padlocks for the bathroom doors.....

mama31 · 30/10/2013 14:14

Squeezes onelife back (it's so emotional).... ok so love the padlocks idea! we gotta be smart coz I know these ladies will be sneaking pee sticks, pee beakers and all kinds of stuff in to mama's house! We need maximum security and searches at the doors! Is there such a thing as a poas alarm?!....well there is now!!! i'll get some of those.....kind of like a smoke alarm...but goes off when someone poas!!! they won't get past us onelife!!!

NO POAS at mama's house!!! Oh how the rules have changed......

keepswimming1 · 30/10/2013 14:45

So mama is there a party this Friday? can I come?

mama31 · 30/10/2013 14:53
