I would also recommend the boots lube!!

Tigger that's so cute how did he react?

A lot of are you serious, when are we due?? There's a history of twins in my family so he said how many babies do you think you've got in there?! Lol

Ah so bloody exciting everyone! I think there's going to be at least one more bfp in Feb!

Omg mummy!! My first symptom at all was strawberries tasting really weird!! Had to throw them away!

Tigger that's seriously cute!! :) Would you like twins?!

OMG I wake up to two more BFPs??? So exciting!!!! Congrats confused and tigger - delighted for you both - this is obviously a lucky little group we have!

Oh my god Tigger that is wonderful!! Huge huge congrats my lovely. Both my cycle buddies did it!!

This has made my day!!!!! 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 what a lucky group indeed!! Confused all that sneaking off from your nanny to dtd paid off and tigger what a brilliant week for you!!! All this is so amazing!!!!!!!

I think ov hasn't happened for me yet so I won't test before March 4th!

I still can't believe it. Oh is running round like a mad thing tidying and sorting bless him!!

Bless him tigger he sounds like a cutie!

Confused can't wait to hear how your DH reacts!

This is all so exciting.. lots of us might be due close together! can't wait for my turn fingers crossed 🤞🏼

I'm very close to getting this car.. VW golf R line:

Ooo grumpy love it!!

Just did OPK.... I think it's getting darker so will try this evening and tomorrow!

I've just got all ready eyed with all the emotions reading about BFPs.
Can't wait to hear how your DH reacts confused

I'm having my weekly treat of almond croissant and a cuppa in town whilst DS is at the childminder.
My left boob in particular is feeling really achy and bruised deep inside.. the feeling I got when I breastfed. Also keep getting the occasional shooting pain twinge in right boob.

Just spent £57 in gap on 2 presents for my friends boys and stuff for DS... I feel better as I got £33 discount. They have half term deals on 30-40% off

Very nice grumpy so excited to get our car. OH has decided we need to crack on straight after MOT in march 😀 We have a couple more potential Cars now... Honda CRV, VW Tiguan (new version)

That sounds lovely mummy

Keep us updated* on the OPKs mrsC* !

I had a dream last night I was breastfeeding a newborn baby 👶🏼 so cute and snuggly!!

Bold fail sorry!

Mummy I thought about the Tiguan (I love the advert!!! Lol.. my DD does not 😂) but DH doesn't like it.. he is a 4x4 snob

Yeah I wasnt sure about the Tiguan, didn't like the old version very much, but OH has been trying to make me see the light... its about £40-50 cheaper per month than what I like... obviously. It was too small for me but apparently this one is bigger and more boots space, so I'll have a look!

mrsc darker OPK is exciting! Hopefully you will get your positive over the weekend

I'm jealous of all the car shopping! I want a new car but i won't do practical so no point changing mine
I do need to research travel systems though, as i still need to fit a pram in my boot with 2x horse saddles, need a compact frame one. Not sure why everything is so big!
To be fair though, i don't go anywhere that i am required to walk, so will leave an cheap second hand one at the stables for use when there. Running will all be done from home so will keep a running buggy there. Just need one for the odd times i might go shopping alone or something. Can't think of any times we'd bother getting out a pram just to walk from car to shop - DP can use a carrier! (I won't be able to use a sling or anything because of my back pain) So much to consider isn't there?

Just to add, if someone hadn't written off my MX-5 last year i'd still have that.... it had isofix hahaha!

Wow red how do you fit all the horsey stuff in your sports car?

DH vetoed my VW... 😭 he thinks it's not a good enough car for the money. Now I'm looking at Audi A5 cabriolet sportback which is not that much more expensive..

Also what is isofix and how do you tell if a car has it?

ISOfix is the bits in the back seats of the car your car seat can clip into if you have the base so you don't have to keep putting a seatbelt around it

All new cars will have ISOfix anyway! my MX-5 was 2006 and had it.

I don't have a sports car anymore but the MX-5 has a fairly large boot, bigger than a Mini. I easily fitted 2 saddles in there with my boots etc. I don't carry anything else around, i always take my horsebox when i stock up on big things like feed

My friend loves her A5 Cabriolet! I do find VW's overpriced and under-spec'd. What engine you looking at?
