Reinstating the gin deck from a previous bus for AF arrivals, and stocking up on pineapple juice and Brazil nuts, fx for lots of BFPs this month.

ral I have two apps too, and this is the first month the two have agreed.
auf I commute against the masses but sometimes it's just hideous. and the next station is baisingstoke not high on my list of lively places

loopylou1984 · 14/07/2015 10:44

Lol - not sure what work would have to say about that... Although right now I'm not 100% sure I'll be going to work tomorrow. Xx

Wow Sammy 8 eggs is amazing! I bet you can’t wait until Thursday! Got my fingers so tightly crossed for you hun.

frog we have found that no symptoms is also actually a symptom so fx for you!

Just realised I didn't get anything out of the freezer to defrost for dinner tonight Hmm how gross is iceland these days if I popped in for something easy for dinner?

loopylou1984 · 14/07/2015 11:04

Thanks mummy :)

I have nothing to eat either, was expecting to go food shopping last night (naive I know), but thought, 'that's ok, I'll eat the leftover dominos chicken strippers' however dh forgot to put them in the fridge last night, so looks like it might be cereal now. Icelands gotta be better than that! X

Sammy, 8 fertilised eggs is amazing! I definitely think you should sleep the rest of the week away. That way you will be nice & relaxed for the transfer!

Boris, ouch. That sounds like a pretty crappy start to the day. Sad I hope things have improved since. In answer to your question, I am still feeling really down, but trying to find a spark of optimism.

Auf, it is nice to have you around a bit more. Your posts always crack me up!

CD6 for me, so nothing interesting is happening. I hate this part of the month.

Hairstylisttoboris · 14/07/2015 11:37

mummy some Iceland stuff is ok... sammy can you get a take away delivered?

nomio stay strong. There are some awesom stories out there of little miracles.

Aufwiedersehenpetrarch · 14/07/2015 11:42

mummy iceland stuff is fab. Presuming, of course, that we are only talking about mini Magnum multipacks. And they are perfect for dinner if you ask me. Protein, carbs, and fibre (if you eat the stick).
nomio CD6 is useful because you can start worrying that you might ovulate early this cycle and start wondering if you should do an OPK for the heck of it just in case. I find that sort of thinking passes the time and is not obsessive or damaging to one's sanity at all

Mummyofonesofar · 14/07/2015 12:32

Sammy you thought you would be shopping?? Then again you also thought you would be back at work today Wink Iceland has got to be better than cereal! Then again I am off to Zumba so only a small meal for me any. PS I miss dominos – haven’t had one since I moved oop North – no one delivers to us!!

Auf as much as I would love a box of magnums, it is probably frowned upon as the diet of a 6 yo – though he will think it must be his birthday!

loopylou1984 · 14/07/2015 12:53

I know, I know! Lol.

WHAT?! No dominoes?! We don't have it often, but I like the option being available! Xx

Hiya all can i ask what pineapple juice and brazil nuts work as :) x

Aufwiedersehenpetrarch · 14/07/2015 13:08

everything I'd say they work as a very nice trifle, served with custard.

loopylou1984 · 14/07/2015 13:12

Lol - everything, pineapple is meant to help with implantation and Brazil nuts are good for their selenium content :). Xx

OP posts:
everythingcrossed2015 · 14/07/2015 13:13

lol....I mean what do they help with conception wise?! (Confused)

everythingcrossed2015 · 14/07/2015 13:14

Thank you Sammy :) xx

Kirjava · 14/07/2015 13:19

auf my thoughts exactly! Perhaps a pineapple and nut cake

Mummyofonesofar · 14/07/2015 13:19

sammy i miss dominoes even for the chicken dippers and BBQ sauce - and the honey and mustard sauce!! Me and DS once a month would order far too much and eat it for dinner and breakfast - amazing! Now we have DP and have to be healthy all the time Sad But as soon as he is away for something, we order a takeaway and eat ice cream and sweets. I like to feel like the fun one every now and again.

Auf you are very funny

DizzyMerry · 14/07/2015 13:23

Auf Grin

Sammy 8 is absolutely amazing! Definitely stay nice and relaxed for Thursday.

I've given up on the CB digis and so glad I didn't but anymore. They're temperamental and there was a thread on here about the same thing happening to others with several flashing smileys and no static. The IC's work better for me so I'll be sticking to them.

DizzyMerry · 14/07/2015 13:24

Forgot to attach a pic of my opk. This is a positive right?

loopylou1984 · 14/07/2015 13:25

Yes everything, I must confirm that the pineapple and Brazil nuts is most definitely not a proven theory... Gin to soften the arrival of AF however....

OP posts:
loopylou1984 · 14/07/2015 13:29

Yes Dizzy - it's CoC time!

Mummy - that's funny that you sneak a naughty takeaway when do is away! Is he like a PT or something? Xx

OP posts:
Mummyofonesofar · 14/07/2015 13:30

DizzyM I think it is more or less there, one side of the line does seem a little lighter so it could have happened in the last few hours or in the next few hours but just about there yes Grin

Mummyofonesofar · 14/07/2015 13:34

sammy no, but he is a bit tight fisted. I grew up down south where the odd Maccie D's was normal and you would get a takeaway once a week as a treat. He thinks Macdonalds is disgusting (even the breakfasts which I love so much) and doesn't see why we would waste money buying a curry when I can make them just as nice at home Sad I don't buy precooked food at all and never have (chicken nuggets/chips/waffles) everything is done from scratch but the odd takeaway is fiiinnee!!!! He does let me, about once a month when I "forget" to get something out to defrost Wink And very rairly he will suggest it Grin

Mummyofonesofar · 14/07/2015 13:35

Just seen how wrong I have spelt rarely - not even a autocorrect - just couldn't think how to spell it Grin Blush

loopylou1984 · 14/07/2015 13:45

Ah I see! I'm similar to your dh in that getting a dominos at £15 a pizza seems ridiculous when I could get one in sainsburys for £2! But sometimes I just can't be bothered, hence last night!

Although I only are 1 slice, really wasn't feeling good. Xx

OP posts:
Mummyofonesofar · 14/07/2015 14:35

sammy you need more than cereal tonight if you only had 1 slice of pizza last night! Up your protein girly!
