Hugh enjoys ISW and his love affair with Doreen. He watches out for skittle tits and weepyitis. Mrs Arseholey Fucknut (Af) shows up when you least want her but brings wine and soft cheese as a consolation prize.

We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind and well meaning but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly don't convince yourself you're pregnant in the tww That is paramount! It messes with your head and makes you crazy crazier

We don't get a lot of baby dust in these here parts. We want a fanny full of determined Doreen, not unicorn farts and gnome tears with extra sparkle. We've been going a while now so the novelty has somewhat worn off and we're slightly battle scarred and bruised in the cervix area.

Post your stats and add your dates. A more lovely, supportive group of ladies you couldn't wish to meet. We've got a few grads sticking around I won't leave and no question is too daft. We have opk experts, cervical mucus management teams and symptom spotters extraudinaire!

Sorry kav Flowers

My meeting lasted well over an hour... And resulted in my manager crying. Twice. He's been having a really hard time...he'd been in a mess all weekend...he's struggling with the new structure... Etc etc bla bla bla. Not my fucking problem. You get paid for that!! He agreed he'd been really unprofessional the last week or so and apologised for that. But it's not really made me feel any better as from what he said the whole recruitment process was really fucking dodgy and he said that actually his boss had wanted an external candidate all along so I never had a chance. Don't know why I was asked to apply then... Just feel really hacked off and like I want to leave but can't really. Sigh. At least I didn't cry though. Just a bit of a lip wobble on a few occasions. And I said everything I wanted to say, which I was quite proud of. Just frustrating that nothing positive has really come out of it so don't really feel that much better for it.

LovelyFishy · 23/06/2016 13:53

My god, your manager cried? Wowzer! At least you got your point across, and if they wanted external you didn't do anything wrong so it's them who need to buck up!!

Modestandatinybitsexy · 23/06/2016 16:13

marmite Well done in the meeting, it sounds like you held it all together and it's great that you got the recognition of your managers behavior. So unprofessional!

marmitetoast1 · 23/06/2016 16:51

Yeah... He probably thinks I'm a right bitch...
2 weeks holiday after tomorrow though, thank gawd!!

kwick · 23/06/2016 18:54

Fanks snarky! I took walnuts with me to work, but have just realised I forgot to take them out of my bag...

Glad you had your meeting marmite. Hopefully having it talked through will give you some closure. I know it is not great that they cried and so on - sounds like they are in the wrong job!

We just had a meeting at work - we have known for a while that a major acquisition is on the cards which will mean a mahoosive restructure.
I am really hoping I can get a job that requires less travel... But we shall see. At least it looks like we will know the new structure in July/August. I had best get my CV in order! And my new boss said it is okay that I take my holiday. I have not booked anything though as it will depend on next AF and IVF.

SuchaJem · 23/06/2016 21:17

Your manager sounds rather unprofessional marmite. Well done for holding your own.

Day 8 today and back on the DTD now hubby is home. I've got to say, I don't half enjoy the closeness with having all this extra sex.

I really feel like I might be in it for the long haul ttc but there's almost a calm in accepting that. Still can't stop the voice in my head hoping it happens this month though Hmm

nicky883 · 24/06/2016 08:09

Well ttc stress in not enough now this happened ! Had our exchange of contracts in new house to look forward too ! Well no more

marmitetoast1 · 24/06/2016 08:18

Yes, rather unprofessional is the word. Plus totally incompetent.

And now we've woken up to this shit storm this morning. Totally shocked, saddened, angry.

kwick · 24/06/2016 08:18

What happened nicky?

WingingIt83 · 24/06/2016 08:26

Crikey, we're out then. Not looking forward to what happens to the economy.

And Cameron going to step down

nicky883 · 24/06/2016 08:41

We are thinking of pulling out i am an eu citizen dh is international both in high skilled jobs
Tbh i feel very unwelcome at the moment and think that buying a house would not be the best move
Turned down a job internationally because i thought uk is a nice country to live and settle in i really didnt think leave would win
In complete shock now all our plans have changed ovenight
We have just send our signed contracrs to solicitors yesterday thats how sure i was Sad

SuchaJem · 24/06/2016 08:42

What the hell has just happened? I feel sick, scared and angry. Utterly ashamed of this country today SadSadSad

Mooseville · 24/06/2016 09:26

I just don't understand how this has happened. I barely know anyone who voted leave! Horrible day...

nicky I'm with you. We were meant to be buying in a month or two. We're UK citizens but it's so worrying that they say house prices may drop by 20% in the next two years, meaning we'd lose money? Plus who wants to live in a bigoted society like this one has become???

nicky883 · 24/06/2016 09:48

Moose i havebeen living here for 6 years and in the last year i felt very unwelcome so we have a thought of leaving all together now
We will only buy if there is a reduction in price so its all possible at the moment
Very stressed so i think it will have an impact on dtd and ttc as well :p

Mooseville · 24/06/2016 10:10

nicky that's so sad that you feel unwelcome. it really shouldn't be like that.
Uuurgh what a horrible day.

Peaches8Posies · 24/06/2016 11:08

nicky you are more than welcome. You contribute to our economy/society , you are a good person, please don't let this make you feel this way.

I'm disgusted that people fell for the lies of Boris and farrage! Do people really think these self serving millionaires are working in our interests!! Dark day for us ladies Sad

P.s, us Scots all voted remain, we are a very friendly bunch, come up and join us. We are about to fix this mess shortly (fx)

nicky883 · 24/06/2016 12:04

Thanks ladies i am just really shocked i honestly didnt think there were so many leavers i honestly dont know anyone who voted leave .

Oh well a lot of thinking over house to do over the weekend when is my fertile windown so i think we are out this month

StarkyTheDirewolf · 24/06/2016 12:06

I'm absolutely gobsmacked. I didn't think that would happen. Bawled my eyes out for a good two hours thus morning. What a mess.

HepKestrel · 24/06/2016 12:15

would love to join you up there peaches !

moose if you are selling in the uk and buying in the uk, you are mostly* insulated from house price changes, as your house may be worth less - but so is the one you want to buy.....

I think all we can do is not panic. Things hopefully** will become clearer in the next weeks. the panic in the market is mostly down to uncertainty as opposed to a decision.

*caveats for impact on mortgages, deposits and regional variations....
**that is about the limit of my pub-discussion economic knowledge!

in other news, I am one day away from my longest ever cycle. I mostly get signs a day before AF arriving...... nothing yet. cd36
No hopes to get up as BFN and I was ridiculously stressed. would just like new cycle to start again. But at least it gives me something else to think about!

kavanaughkj · 24/06/2016 13:29

Feeling a bit sick and not due to TTC efforts for once - I'm in utter shock here too. DH is not a UK citizen and I have no clue what this could mean for the two of us - this country isn't the place I thought it was. In 24 hrs my world feels upside down - now I'm not sure I want to be raising children here at all!

Half of my family voted Leave so I do know a few. My local constituency scraped a Remain vote by 0.5% so there's that at least.

Wondering if Scotland will welcome me and DH! I'm English and not altogether sure I'd be very popular north of the border, whether i voted Remain or not.

Nicky, I'm beyond heartbroken that you would feel unwelcome. Please try to remember just under half the country voted 'in' - and of those who didn't, I suspect the vote was as much about hating Cameron and wanting to push for better living circumstances as anything else.

I hate this result but I honestly hope we can salvage something from it and remain open and welcoming to other nationalities as much as we can.

SuchaJem · 24/06/2016 13:42

Kavan I'm pretty sure if you're married to a uk citizen you can live here.

God I feel so utterly depressed about this. I still can't quite believe what's happening. So much uncertainty, it's so unsettling Sad

HepKestrel · 24/06/2016 13:49

kav,sucha yes, he should be safe. I have a family member in the same situation. There must be 100,000+ EU people married to uk citizens in UK? And many have been here decades (and had children here).

There will be more information soon (I hope)

kwick · 24/06/2016 19:07

What a frickerty fcuk mess!
Sorry if I offend anyone but I really believe the leave vote has come about from ignorance. People confusing immigration with refugees, people not understanding the importance financially of remaining. What a sad day.

nicky I am very sad to hear you have not felt welcome.

We should all be coming closer together not further apart.

LovelyFishy · 24/06/2016 20:05

I am totally shocked too, couldn't believe it when I found out this morning! I am half Scottish and recently DH and I have talked about moving back there for the cheaper houses, better place to bring up children, etc. Looks like me might be in the move if Scotland stay with the EU!

So sorry for anyone who's feeling poop about this decision. It's just so not right!

marmitetoast1 · 25/06/2016 08:48

Morning all, currently sat in the airport waiting for flight to Italy. Not feeling my usual excited holiday self, so fucking pissed off about Farage and co and bloody idiotic "Brexit" situation. I may be returning home to Scotland sooner than we had previously planned!

What an utterly shit week all in all.

CD30. Held of testing this morning. No signs of AF yet.
