Cymon, I feel like you dog is dying to rip out the whole of my thorax. And then eat it. Eskimo, if you tell me that that is a cottage garden and that it is yours I will never speak to you again out of apoplectic jealousy. Your dog look as though he has all the answers to the universe.
Right. I've done a load of research into these soy isoflavones (yes, it is they that are called 'nature's Clomid') and the MN threads are full of women who swear by it...but don't get pregnant
Seriously, it is all anecdotal 'evidence' and threads going eerily silent as folks slope away disappointed. I dunno, there doesn't seem to be much success from it. I like the sound of agnus castus but I have heard it's powerful and my cycles are regular and of good length. Too good for my liking 
Butterchunks! I'm so pleased you are delurking. I went to th'opticians and they found an identical pair (but in a much more pleasing dark, dark aubergine colour) in stock which they offered to lob my lenses into right there and then. 'That would be £69.95 for the frames, love', the smiling £100k-a-year optician said. I told him I would be back on Monday 'when I have some money on me' and ran out tearfully to DH waiting outside with the nipper. 'I hate being poor', I said 
Still catching up, but we've booked Imitation Game on Sky Box Office (£4.99!!) and it starts at ate ferty so I will be 'going dark' for a couple o' hours...
