Waaahhh, finished work really late and pretty much fell asleep face down in my pie and mash last night! Missed you all! I’m back on the bus to cheer you up – and I’ve brought glitter and plastic flamingos to go in our cocktails. Or maybe just our coffees seeing as it’s a tad early, even for me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESKIMO!! Hope you have a lovely day! Laughing at your nails – you are one of those people who buys things near your birthday, just like my DH, stop doing that won’t you!
pug and boris noooooooo on the baby bombs!! Colleagues and family are the worst.boris I really hope they chill their boots after scan day excitement wears off – I too suspect this will happen. My other solution is just to get loads of their favourite pregnancy-banned foodstuff and loudly eat it in the office til they shut up. Pug that is the worst luck with holiday due – DO NOT let it put a dampner on your spirits. DH will be there for support. Does SIL know about your MC? Might even be worth telling them if they’re carping on a bit too much and they don’t already know? And if they do, I would hope they’d be tactful now the news has been broken. My SIL has just got a spanking new massive house, so I’m expecting news of her second pregnancy imminently – she dropped lucky really easily with my nephew so I imagine it will be the same again. Boo to the whole thing! And boo again for you and your SIL Sammy - really hope you’ve got good news to share of your own soon.
nomio your degree sounds fascinating! I hope to eventually go on to do some professional qualifications and like the idea of the psychology/comms combo (I work in comms now). What are you hoping to do with it when you finish? Any plans yet? Please do bring some tat for the bus! We’ll need something to get started with. Although I’m hoping spinning (I think it’s spinning that’s going?) is going to bring me back a festival hat from Glastonbury.
Sorry about your AF babybump - hope you’re managing to get excited about the new cycle now.
dizzymerry I find it so weird that we get signs without ov. How are the charts/opks today my love? How are you feeling?
madame I know you will get there. Small steps, don’t try and crack it all at once. Agreed with the others, this is superb motivation.
mummy I’m sorry you’re feeling blue, and boy that is some six months my love 
. I don’t know about you, but I feel like there’s increased pressure after the MC, not just to fill that emptiness, but also because you know how far along you should have been, so you’re constantly playing catch-up. But that way head-wreck lies! Your tiny, perfect DC is hiding in one of these cycles somewhere… Deal or no Deal style… we’ve just got to wait til we get the right one! Thinking about it like that helps me somehow. I’m such a loser, I’m sort of looking forward to the mummy’s race when DS is old enough, I’m too competitive! Everyone at my DS’s school will hate me! Congrats on your increment, hope your appraisal went well? Sorry if you updated on it and I’ve missed it! Fx for this cycle but I’m with you all the way if we’re in the next one together.
Sammy I hope you’re feeling posi for the drugs today and AF cramping has sodded off?? I won’t allow it to come early – somehow I will stem the tide! Can we all join forces and build a Bumsnet dam??
nympho constipation = BOOM! I love a good symptom spot. Any more today?
Hellooooo knickers! I have emerged! How was your temp this morning? Can you get back on it tonight?
Hello everyone else!
Cd27 here! Feeling very round and jiggly which is a good AF sign for me, I puff up like a balloon! Come on AF!
