ibeka, oyster, frog & pikz sorry AF has arrived/is arriving.

juney how did you feel when you saw your temp reading? Disappointed or slight relief?

night sorry you are down. It's crazy how much you start noticing what your body is/isn't doing when ttc isn't it. I swear I never gave a second thought to how damp my knickers were on any given day before all this!

purdie Have a lovely weekend at home with N & DP. How are you feeling after your first week of working? More or less exhausted than a week of being sahm?

eskimolaura · 25/04/2015 12:33

So sorry to everyone feeling down this week.

Pug We're all thinking of you. You can do this lass. Flowers Flowers

Boris Hope that you're feeling better soon matey, and that your DH gets his act together for you. Sometimes they just don't get it, do they? Sad

Juney Sorry for temp drop lovely. Hope you are ok Flowers

pikz ibeka frog and oyster sorry for AF Flowers

Daisy Glad you got Ofsted out of the way. The bastards.

Just found out that my DHs brother's wife has spent the last few days in hospital. She's had an ectopic pregnancy. They've been trying for years. Life is just so cruel. Sad Sad

Hairstylisttoboris · 25/04/2015 12:37

Mummy your DHs reaction was fab! Love it.

Frog sorry for AF, enjoy the wine though.

Oyster it's so close to your wedding day, enjoy every minute.

Ibeka sorry you are feeling down too. If I could drag myself 'home' I'd come and join you for non baby activities. Some other time :)

Juney and all others with a temp drop, I'm so sorry. Rubbish.

Daisy sorry to hear about ofsted. And your sister too how devastating.

Purdie so glad to hear Nancy is on the mend. Wonderful news.

Pixa, sparkly, frog, mummy, thepug and ibeka thanks for your kind words. I've tried talking to DH last night, think it takes a while for him to process such things. He didn't really get it last night. Just told me to try harder over stuff.

Frog I'm off to find stuff on Netflix :) we have a subscription somewhere.

Thepug - Canada? You sound very wise and internationally renowned. Impressed.

Eskimo - sorry about you SIL (?) that's rough.

Mummyofonesofar · 25/04/2015 12:41

boris why did he tell you to try harder? He needs to be making the effort!

eskimo sorry about sil x

purdiepie · 25/04/2015 12:46

Boris, I am going to say this and I am possibly going to regret it. Not because I don't mean it but because it is rather harsh: I think your husband is emotionally abusive. He withholds emotion, is unkind, ignores you and your needs and makes you feel unloved and unwanted. I wish you had the strength to say: 'You either come with me to Relate next week - I've booked the appointment - or you accept that I cannot spend my future with you. You are not the man I married and you make me feel shit about myself. You either come with me to figure out where we have going horribly wrong in this marriage or I will be seriously making plans to set out a future without you in it.'

I think you are going to be desperately unhappy with this man unless you give him a real ultimatum. He seems deeply unhappy to me.

Hairstylisttoboris · 25/04/2015 12:47

Mummy he thinks I need to push on through everything. Sod the fact I can't get out of bed and have a fever and can't breath properly. It's simple - if I went out for a run and called friends over for a drink I'd be fine.

Hairstylisttoboris · 25/04/2015 12:48

purdie you speak wise words.

purdiepie · 25/04/2015 12:48

Unfeeling dick Angry Has he always been this emotionally inept?

Hairstylisttoboris · 25/04/2015 12:50

Purdie he has moments. He was EA by his ex wife and still sometimes exposes the scars.

Mummyofonesofar · 25/04/2015 12:51

boris I am sorry but I agree with Purdie x

Yokyil · 25/04/2015 12:52

Melon congrats on the weight loss!!! Have you changed your diet much or was it all just because of the running shoes?
Rainy glad you sorted things out with Dh - TTC is emotional as it is and you need all the support you can get - throwing an argument in the mix isn't good but at least its all settled now!
Woolly happy anniversary - sounds like a really lovely way to spend it
Pixa how are your relatives doing? Improving I hope
Oyster date night as 'sort of singletons' sounds lovely - and a honeymoon baby sounds the icing on the cake. AF rearing it's ugly head now has some silver linings - Champers and cocktails being two of them Grin
night don't be getting downhearted easier said than done but you may be ov later and it's a longer cycle than normal??
ibeka it's tough - and weekends just seem to be family days so hits home then too. But don't be lying in bed feeling down, do something that makes you happy. You'll be one of those happy mamas one day too, taking us a bit of time but we'll all get there eventually
Oyster me and goats are not on good terms long story
pudie glad Nancy is feeling much better.
sparkly I've both too - and dp just nieces they get on most of the time angelic nope! but they're good fun

Sorry for the long post - have got the girls painting at on the kitchen table so gives me time to catch up (no jokes there's paint allllll over the kitchen table, don't even care anymore they're happy and quiet and not bickering! Result!)

Mummyofonesofar · 25/04/2015 12:52

Just because he was EA doesn't mean he should be with you! Surely he knows how awful it is. I don't EA dp just because I was by ex and he doesn't cheat just because he was by his ex.

purdiepie · 25/04/2015 12:53

He needs therapy then. Now.

Hairstylisttoboris · 25/04/2015 12:56

I agree with all of yoi. Sadly.

Mummyofonesofar · 25/04/2015 13:06

Something needs to be done about it then lovely X

MelonMelon · 25/04/2015 13:36

yok I've been eating a bit healthier, not bought any cheese or butter (I have a serious addiction and have had a few harsh words from GP) but I feel great! It's nice to feel positive in the midst of the ttc he'll. DH said "yeah I've definitely noticed the difference, your thighs are smaller" Hmm

boris I'm sorry DH isn't being supportive, I'm popping round with some virtual soup and sympathy

so many of you lovely ladies are having a rough time Flowers

eskimo so sorry to hear about your sol

Anyone out tonight? I might wear the purdie peacocks sex dress!

MelonMelon · 25/04/2015 13:36

*SIL

Yokyil · 25/04/2015 13:46

Haha Melon my dp calls mine thunder thighs. That's great you'll see the weight dropping off, good going Grin

Riceicle1 · 25/04/2015 13:46

Big hugs to juney, night and boris sorry if I've missed anyone.
Another busy day today and I'm feeling exhausted already, of course it's got nothing to do with the fact that dd woke the whole house up at 2am when she came in drunk! It's because I am growing a 6 dpo baby!

Mummyofonesofar · 25/04/2015 13:53

yokyil dp once called me thunder thighs because he thought it was a compliment for a curvy girl Confused he got a slap!

auxiliaryauroch · 25/04/2015 14:07

Seems there is lots of sad news for family members of thread gals lately. Good luck for everyone! Flowers

spinningirl10 · 25/04/2015 14:34

Daisy, so sorry that you lost your sister.

Ibeka and Night, sorry you're both feeling down, sending a hug to you both.

Pixa, enjoy the cinema and Nandos.

Melon, yes I'm out tonight, I'm excited!

Frog. It's Saturday, don't work all day, go out and treat your self to cake!

Boris, I'm sorry your dh is being so awful. You really need support at the moment. And goodness, what a dinner! You must be so upset about missing the day with your friends. I hope you can sort something out with them soon. Where is dh today? I hope he's being more supportive.

Pug, goodness what an awful time you're having. The consent form is crap, surely it could he reworded for ladies in your position. Just seems like a kick in the teeth that you really don't need at this time. Sending a hug.

Yokyil, your dc's sound like they're having great fun.

Sparkly, yes relocating in 9 days!! Somewhere warmer but not too farGrin we'll be backwards and forwards a lot though.
Pleased you enjoyed your evening. Take it easy today.

I'm at the hairdressers, boring! I hate sitting here but like the end result.

spinningirl10 · 25/04/2015 14:40

I may need your help later ladies. I was planning to wear a summery dress but it's cloudy and keeps raining. I have another dress I could maybe wear but no-one at home to tell me if its ok so if you don't mind I may post pics on fb and get your opinions!

Pixa · 25/04/2015 14:58

Chopsface I feel like I haven't seen you on here in a while! How are you?

ThePug I can't stress enough how sorry I am for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Flowers

Eskimo Really sorry to hear that too. Life really is cruel. Flowers

Boris once again Purdie has given excellent advice. Therapy sounds like the best solution. Previously being EA is no excuse.

Yokyil You're going to have a lot of cleaning up to do later! Grin One relative is really well, and in great spirits. The other has been transferred to a more specialist unit to be assessed. Hoping for good news, but they need all of the support they can get. Thank you for asking, I didn't think it was getting to me until I was asked about it earlier by DH.

Melon sounds like you are doing so well with your healthy lifestyle! Smile

Rice 2am?! I didn't even know that time existed. Shock

Spinning thanks, I will. I went over menu choices quickly with PT today so I will still be eating healthy-ish later. Would love to see your outfit choices on FB.

nightandthelight · 25/04/2015 15:39

Have managed to attach chart :) Any opinions much appreciated!

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments, makes my heart all fuzzy Grin

So sorry to hear that you are still sick and that DH is being a dick boris, taking care you when poorly is a bare minimum!

Also so sorry to hear about what is happening to you pug it is just so unfair and horrible Flowers

We are back from cleaning our old flat so our move is officially completed!
