Oooooooooh Geek how exciting!!! What an excellent plan that sounds to be. Will you be able to holiday while you're out there? And where in Spain will you go? And when? And why do they not do embryo adoption over here, or is it the difference in cost? Am so excited for you - another step towards a BFP!!!

Far hope you've been smacking that rat good and proper my friend. Where there's a willy, there's a way, that's my motto (well, it's not really, but you know what I mean).

Maybe - I'm expecting that we'll see you in the new series of GBBO on 6 Aug?? And if not, why not?

Solars - good to see you! How are you enjoying mothering?? Always great to see you and with it another lovely example of IVF success.

Pasta all good with your two? We need nicknames for them.... what about Spag and Bol?

Have I missed anyone out? Will have to go back and check in a min.

AFM, just got back from yet another long weekend away in Glasgow watching the Commonwealth Games. Had such a good time. We went with our bestest friends who left their 3 kids with the grandparents for 3 nights and it was brilliant - just like old times. They're slightly funny folk though - they are slightly of the view that only they know how to raise children properly - we were discussing the fact that friends of Mr I and me have named us as their chosen guardians for their two kids if anything happened to them on the basis that they considered me and Mr I to be the best people out of everyone they know to raise them. The bloke we were away with looked disgusted at this and said "to be fair, it's probably only because you haven't got children and would give them all the attention - I mean, what would you know about raising kids?"!!!! Charming. Thanks fucker!! Luckily I don't take bullshit like that to heart as I know for a fact that Mr I and me would be bloody great parents.

Had anyone heard from Cups on any other thread? Really hope she and Mr C are doing well.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 30/07/2014 10:48

The cheek of him Imps! You and MrI will make amazing parents. Fact.

I cannot wait to see my blue eyed boy and the Bezza back on my screen. I won't be partaking this year, A isn't keen on going without milk for more than 2 hours Wink

I haven't heard from Cups, but if you're reading lovely, we are all thinking of you x

keepitgoing · 31/07/2014 08:09

imps that's a ridiculous thing to say Angry Angry

I'm also thinking of cups and beedle

geek what are your timescales so I know when and where to focus my brooking?

farfallarocks · 31/07/2014 13:39

imps your mate sounds like a nutter, other mates sound lovely and what an honour to be asked!

geek that sounds exciting, when do you start? Big squeeze!

solars I will PM you on ARCG if you don'ty mind? I am so undecided!

No rat smacking here sadly, we had a bad weekend, DH back to his old 'I feel too stressed to DTD' ways and also now thinks it 'pointless'.
He is off for jizz test on Thursday and we will take if from there but am thinking we should crack on with IVF if we are not properly trying in the meantime. I would love to sneak in a FUFC BFP but I need co-operation!

I hate this TTC lark, my life is so much happier without it but of course, the result is worth it!

cartoontrickster · 31/07/2014 16:43

hi brookers! never managed to keep up with any of the threads anymore. I've been looking for the other new mummies and it looks like your all here! I layed out a breakfast buffet on post natal days ago! is boo around anywhere? or bumpie? or sweetie? I see maybe, keep and solars are here! DS is not far off 7months now. he's had a horrible bug which has really set us back on weaning as he's refusing much food Sad hasn't stopped him lelearning to crawl though!
hope you are all well.

keepitgoing · 31/07/2014 21:23

trix! I was thinking about you today don't worry, there are always set backs to weaning. kip refused anything but boob for 2 days this week then tooth no 4 popped out. just keep offering.

keepitgoing · 31/07/2014 21:24

PS he's crawling already? brilliant! Smile

cartoontrickster · 31/07/2014 21:33

ahh S has 4 teeth! bless her. yup hes been crawling for about a week.

cartoontrickster · 31/07/2014 21:33

Imps9 · 09/08/2014 11:21

Boo!!!!!!!! Hurrah! Lovely to see you

How the devil is everyone? Maybe my freezer is fine thank you! And what did you think of GBBO?

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 09/08/2014 20:59

Hello again Imps how are you doing? Where is everyone up to? Hope you're all having a good weekend :) :)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/08/2014 21:01

Boo, stop showing off Wink

Glad he is better Trix

Imps I enjoyed greatly. I miss baking so very much. I must start again. I need to learn how to bake with a baby on my boob. I can feel a while new tv show coming on.....Grin

Hmm, update. Far is rat smacking like it's going out of fashion, but is open to IVF should they need it. Which they won't.

Imps has been off hollibobbing en Francais and has her first IVF appointment this month.

Geek popped in and shared her amazing news.

Is that everyone?

cartoontrickster · 10/08/2014 20:33

do you mean to tell me that the majority of brookers are currently preggo or recently had a baby?! well surely it won't be long for far, imps and geek then.
I was wondering since its so quiet on all 3 threads about becoming one big brooking happy family rather than the 3 seperate threads. or is that a daft idea?

Imps9 · 11/08/2014 07:47

I think that's a super idea! I haven't seen all of the PSEPPs or BWBs (Brookers with Babies - I just made that up - is there an official acronym? I can't remember!). This is just sheer laziness on my part as I find it tricky enough to keep up with one thread!

What's your news Boo?

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 11/08/2014 11:56

I have not much news Imps I've been a boring old brooker, Teen boo on the other hand completed his gcse exams and left school then won a county competition to design a logo for the new SEND offer and is currently away with a group of deaf/blind teens before hitting the bright lights if London Baby Boo (or Booby as you may know her) is now a beautiful 15 month old walking toddler and toddly boo starts school in 4 weeks

keepitgoing · 11/08/2014 13:57

hi brookers I love that idea! gosh boo your lot are big! will be weird once toddly boo is at school...

kip is now crawling too and close to walking as well. now I will email the ivf clinic right now!
