Sammy and Purdie ....thank you for the advice. My dh and her dh are good friends so maybe I should let my dh tell him, and then he can relay the news. I hate the thought of being the cause of baby bomb sadness!!!! They're a fab couple and I really hope it happens soon!

Woolly84 · 04/05/2015 09:07

Oo Rome is great night! (Isn't that where glittery is at the mo?)

eskimo hope you boy is okay and it is just a corn.

Have a nice time away spinning! Yes relax, have fun, and fx for the rest Wink

Dtd has begun in the woolly house, slightly ahead of schedule Grin

Night Rome is amazing! Been twice and it is beautiful - you'll have a ball.
spinning are you heading away anywhere nice?
Pug am so sorry you're having a bad time at the minute - it will take time. That baba was there and you had all the plans in your head-getting back to normal life seems wrong. But you will, it does just take time Flowers

Beansprout30 · 04/05/2015 09:13

Some of you are up far too early on a bank holiday! Or am I just a lazy moo? Am still in bed waiting for dh to come back up so we can dtd. He had to fill his face first Smile

purdiepie · 04/05/2015 09:16

Rome is amazing! That tower! Those piers! That rock wiv writing through t'middle! Oh....no, soz...that's Blackpool.

purdiepie · 04/05/2015 09:19

Wotsits, address your friend directly. Telling your dh to tell her dh is a method that can go badly, if the forums on here are to be believed. She will feel an idiot that you were forced to tell her in this Chinese whispers manner.

DizzyMerry · 04/05/2015 09:58

Wotsits tell her yourself rather than through the DH's. I'm sure she'll appreciate that. I would do it by text, email or letter as suggested before. This way she will have time and privacy to absorb the news and compose herself.

Night I've only heard positive things about Rome. So exciting and how lovely of your DH.

Spinning hope you have a fab time.

Fx it is just a corn eskimo hope your boy's on the mend soon.

Pug thinking of you Flowers

Yokyil, Tenerife, we plan to spend half the year there and half here but we're only going for a month or so initially.

Sammy, sorry about your baby bomb. It will be hard with it being so close. I hope you don't have lots of questions about when you're having one. You'll have to prepare a good response to stop and further questioning.

Wotsit, I agree that you should tell your friend yourself, either by letter or face to face. Only she would know the way she'd rather hear it but I'm sure she would rather hear it from you.

Woolly84 · 04/05/2015 10:23

A letter sounds like a good idea, has that personal touch.

Nomio230 · 04/05/2015 10:57

I agree with the letter idea. That is how I would prefer to find out in that situation.

Spinning, I am super jealous of you. I want a holiday! Go get that BFP, missus!

I have never been to Rome, but would love to. I wish I got holidays for my birthday!

purdiepie · 04/05/2015 10:57

Pug Thanks

Sammy, the hurt will lessen. It's your time soon xx

loopylou1984 · 04/05/2015 10:59

I think in summary Wotsitts, each of us would prefer a different method... We're not much help are we?!
Whatever you choose, just let her have time to be sad. We shouldn't get do upset about baby bombs really, it's not like people have taken your baby or anything. I think it's just that it seems to be so easy for some people.
I'm still really teary since finding out about sil, but bits not that she's pg, it's that I'm not. Xx

chopsface · 04/05/2015 12:32

Marking my place in a stalking capacity :-)

night I'd love to go to Rome. Looks amazing! You'll have a great time!

nightandthelight · 04/05/2015 13:08

So jealous of your Tenerife plans spinning!

Am very lucky that DH has decided to treat me to a city break each year for my birthday, he is the best :) last year was Prague.

Sparkly123 · 04/05/2015 13:19

Pug much like Nomio I only had a few days of knowing I had a BFP first time. Not weeks like you. But what helped me for moving forward was focusing on getting there again with the next cycle and then the next.. I kept that feeling of finding out I had a BFP in my head throughout and it made me so focused and determined to get there again.. Which obviously we all know ain't gonna get us a BFP, but it helps in the time we are waiting. I know it's hard when the world around you is getting on with things and you are feeling stuck in your own sadness, but it's only a matter of time.. You will never forget what has happened, but you will pick yourself up in time and move forward.Sending so many positive thoughts to you.. You will get there again soon my lovely Flowers

Purple another AI BFP! Amazing!Star

Nomio hope you are feeling a little better again today. Fingers crossed for that AI BFP!!!Flowers

Spinners I want to come!! Hope you are all organised! Exciting! Let's hope that vitamin D brings you your BFP!Star

Night Rome is just fantastic. Good you are going outwith proper tourist season too!Grin

Wood well get on it mrs! Go go go!Wink

Sammy Flowersfor you . I know you will be joining her soon. Keep focused on all that is happening for you just now, you are On your way now lovely. Flowers

woolly luck luck luck for this cycle!Star

Bean good luck! Wink

Purdita enjoy your day off!! Smile

chopsface · 04/05/2015 13:20

Prague is my favourite city of all time! night been there twice now. Hope you thought that too? If anyone is looking for a cheap city break, eastern Europe is worth a visit. I've been to Poznan, Wroclaw and Krakow in Poland. Stunning cities. And no I dont work for the tourist board lol!

purdiepie · 04/05/2015 13:33

woodpigeon, I didn't get a flashing smiley last month. Just jumped straight to peak. This month, I had one day of flashing smiley and I got the solid one the next day.

spinningirl10 · 04/05/2015 16:45

Sparkly, just organised the final bits. I've spent ages rearranging the bags as we're slightly over the weight allowance! Fx we get through or I'll be that annoying person who holds up the queue while we all root through the cases and put on more clothesBlush

spinningirl10 · 04/05/2015 17:05

I see the royal baby is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Lovely name I think Smile

spinningirl10 · 04/05/2015 17:31

Purdie, have you made a decision about your job?

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 04/05/2015 17:49

Have a nice time spinning
I went to Madrid a couple of years ago, worth a visit if you haven't been.
