Congrats Dishes!! That's fab news. Here's hoping your luck will rub off on the rest of us! Enjoy your spa pampering :-)

Not much happening with me either so just been lurking. DH and I nowstarting to face up to the (probable) possibility of assisted conception. Which makes us both very sad. Why couldn't we just get updiffed again by ourselves?! But 2 years post-miscarriage I think we need to be realistic...and be prepared to go through the journey we never imagined would be necessary to start our family . Why?

6dpo today. Keep prodding boobs to see if they hurt. They don't. It's Imaginary tenderness, imaginary nausea and imaginary dizziness. I'm bloody brilliant at imaginary symptom spotting!

Bugs- I used to work for a local authority dealing with elected members. I hear ya!

Wow tentative congrats Cletts! Can we all rub up against you?

Bloody hell dish! That's brilliant. A bit of spotting around when your period would have been due is completely normal, but I know you will menkul anyway!

sink the tongue thing is brilliant. Not feasible for me at the moment, as it makes me want to puke to move my tongue like that, but I will definitely be bearing it in mind for the future.

bugs work is definitely overrated.

Creative hags I'm after some advice. A friend of mine has been diagnosed with pretty bad ovarian cancer. She's being very brave and has decided she doesn't want to know what stage she's at etc but she does have to have chemo and a complete hysterectomy poor thing. She's had a really tough time if things over the past few years and this just seems like the icing in the cake . Anyway, In going to visit her next week and I thought it might be quite nice to take along a creative project that we could both learn to do that wouldn't be too taxing but would be something simple that we could do and learn companionably together. It feels like a nice positive thing to do. Any thoughts oh creative ones?

Definitely crochet!

You can get a Kath kidston kit (does have errors my experience), or just a couple of hooks and yarn and learn from you tube! You'll be hookers in no time!
Plus it's very addictive/calming/meditative once you get going! And you get lovely things at the end of it! Do a Google search for attic24, she's brilliant and has easy to follow tutorials!

Best of luck and love to your friend!

Thanks hags I was thinking along those lines too. Is it too hard to jump straight into a simple slouch beanie do you think? Neither of us are kath kidston types but I could be quite happy with a slouchy beanie I think

Exchange - done. Yay!! Completion on 10th march!

My loo roll always lives in baskets so it's very easy to pick up and go :) and as luck would save it we are moving across the road from my sis so if all else fails we can pop across to hers for a cuppa We've covered off personal space too as we both value ours so we don't cramp each other's style and can still wander around the house naked if we want :)

Yup a beanie is very easy, just one type of stitch after the initial chain, get a safety pin to use as a marker, choose a yarn and then the right size hook to go with it, it's usually printed on the label!

Evening all, cletts checking in.

No droid yet, brown stuff has stopped - got another CB test (the only kind poxy Sainsbury's had) so checking again with FMU tomo. Praying for solid line.

No clear symptoms yet, though my appetite's been a bit weird the last few days - dropped off, which is really not normal in Clettsworld.

The spa was good but I made the error of answering 'Yes' to the question 'Are you pregnant?' on the screening questionnaire (just in case they use some horrible chemicals or something) and was told that it was 'company policy' that women in the first trimester were not allowed to have any treatment, not even a facial or a foot massage . To have a treatment after that you have to bring in your 12-week scan pics - what the fuck?

So Mr Cletts went off for his lovely neck, shoulder and back massage and I was escorted out of the massage room to get my nails painted. Because it was the only choice. Clearly someone, somewhere, decided they might get sued if someone had a miscarriage so they'd better just ban preggers women from all treatments. I would be very interested to know how a facial will cause me to miscarry. Or why it's their choice, not mine, what 'risks' I take. Patronising shite.

Still, the rest of it was great. I shunned the sauna but enjoyed a cheeky little glass of bubbles. Hopefully the last in a while . . .

fab, that's a lovely idea for your friend. Sounds like crochet's a goer. Another option might be cross-stitch - I know it brings up images of kittens in boots, but you can get some good modern patterns on the web - just bunged 'Modern cross-stitch patterns' into Google and got loads of results. Plus it's really easy

Great news on your house move. We moved about three months ago, the vendor was a difficult cow and it was lovely to get it exchanged and formalised. Your new place is all safe now!

You may wish to wait until tomorrow to rub up against me. Otherwise you might get whatever the opposite of babydust is. Hun.

fab hurrah for exchange!

I'm in admiration of you crafty lot. I don't have a creative bone in my body. Which is why I shoot things for a hobby...

dish it's a bit daft isn't it? What do they think rubbing some creams over your face are going to do to your baybee? Twonks. Still, at least you have purty nails now.

Ooo I love Ice Road Truckers.

We also have The Last Leg on our viewing schedule tonight.

An Island Parish just makes me laugh. It makes Sark look bonkers.

Ive had 4, yes 4 glasses of pink bubbles this eve. And a dirty burger. I feel like I'm living the wild life and it's only 9.13pm. What the fuck has happened to my world??

It's official. Big strong line

oh god, let it stay in.

dish that's brilliant. Deep breaths now.

fab you really are living the high life.

bugs we long ago gave up on the schedules. We watch hardly anything live and just go for DVDs/netflix/blinkbox these das.

Awesome news, dishy! Sending lots of sticky vibes your way. And a manly arm punch.

One of the cats has just given me evils for daring to sneeze in her presence. And now I think I have to redo the sniffing - bleugh.

hest if you're lurking, I'm still thinking of you .

Hurrah for a good strong line Dish and for excellent house news Fab.

Bugs, don't worry too much over the sechsing. I think some blokes get paranoid that they might damage or do some harm to the embryo, and by the time they're feeling more relaxed about it the, er, logistics start to get trickier
