I know @minster2012 like wtf. And I've no cramping. But slight staining when wiping but not enough for a pad. Wish it would just start so I can start my cycle.

Cocoblue22 · 11/07/2020 09:50

@lucyrp how much?!? I think I'll just let mine grow haha! It's fairly long anyway but every so often I get bored and cut it off haha x

@Catherinettc I like your way of thinking x

@notyetamumbuttrying the sinner is great love it! Series one and two are better than three! We watched a film called dangerous secrets I think it was a bit jumpy in parts but good I like a thriller (not horror). Then we started watching one called addicted which had several sex scenes in....one for @lucyrp there! Only managed half way through tho so gonna watch the other half later! X

@Minster2012 happy birthday 🎂🍾🥂🎉 you truly do deserve to be spoilt and treated like a princess today! X

lucyrp · 11/07/2020 09:53

@Cocoblue22 I mean I normally spend £60 every 8-12 weeks anyway having a full head colour and cut 😂 but with the extensions I can get away with just having the top of it coloured for a few times. You can normally go longer than that but that's what they advise to keep the hair in good nick and I can't beat having them hanging out about an inch from my head 😂 it all depends on how quickly your actual hair grows. Which is why I defo wouldn't have them in when pregnant eithrt 🙈😂

KateColx · 11/07/2020 09:55

@Minster2012 Happy Birthday gorgeous girl!!! 💖 breakfast in bed is the best way to start the day 😋 And I'd like to hear more about the new underwear set?! 😍

Yess saw @SmileyT BFP but missed @Noble89 congratulations girly!!! 🥰🥰🥰 thanks @Juno231 xx

@lucyrp @SmileyT @Minster2012 new hair pic attached for you 💁🏼‍♀️ face wasn't cute though hence the heart haha.

Yaasss to the Maya Jama @lucyrp @SmileyT 😍

Hope you've all got fun Saturdays planned xx

Juno231 · 11/07/2020 10:03

Holy crap you girls all have gorgeous hair! I've always been too stingy to spend that much money on my hair 🙊. Stuck with my pocahontas hair until I have a mid life crisis I think and then I might do something with it lol.

Got a rhubarb and custard cake in the oven (the recipe is flipping brilliant), about to shower and then I'll spend the day in Kingston with the OH before meeting up with two other army couples for a bbq and boozy, boozy night. We've booked a hotel and everything so we don't have to think about getting home afterwards. Really looking forward to it and not having to think about TTC for once!

SmileyT · 11/07/2020 10:05

@Minster2012 you kept that on the DL happy Birthday my lovely 🥳 of course you should have breakfast in bed, lunch out, a shag fest and adults only evening. Have the best day ❤️ I should've got you a green goblin for your birthday x

@notyetamumbuttrying my hair is still wrapped 😂😂

@Cocoblue22 yep all extensions, that's £160 I probably shouldn't be wasting and also not sure how I'll get in for the 5hr extravaganza with a new born 🤔 but post lockdown I needed the treat... next stop get a wax done ✅ good plan with the digital btw... my DP said 'is testing again going to make you feel better' I said yes and he just said 'well I want you to be calmer than a llama so take as many as you want' 😂

@lucyrp ahh I used to work with one of my besties and it was so much more fun, she still works for the same company but in a different office so now spend half the day on the phone to her pretending to talk work 😝

@LBee2020 tbh I think they are all really similar apart but just wouldn't mix them up half way through, I've used femometer and found they work fine 👌🏾

@LittleRa has it sunk if yet? This is #2 for you isn't it? x

@KateColx OMG you are so bloody gorge that hair and your eyebrows 😍😍 yes to 4 days off together, hope you enjoy some downtime especially with AF done and not having to think about the 'best' day to have sex xx

@Juno231 this also sounds like a fab Saturday you have planned!! Me and OH have just 'planned' a walk to the post office to collect a parcel, so rock'n'roll x

@Noble89 how did the test go this morning? 🤞

Vil10 · 11/07/2020 10:06

@Minster2012 happy birthday you amazing strong ass lady!! You deserve to be spoilt today🥂🌸❤️

@KateColx your hair is gorggg! I've never had extensions or even coloured my hair before!!! I'm so so dark it would be so much to keep it up and my skins olive and brows and everything so dark I wouldn't suit anything lighter! Have fun on your date night🥂
We're going for a nice walk today with the dogs, then I'm at my friends for a little while to celebrate her getting a teaching job, then back to OH to cook up a red Thai curry! Going to malham cove tomorrow for a good walk and having pub lunch on the way home though! I love tea out in a sunday!!

lucyrp · 11/07/2020 10:14

@KateColx omg yes loving the hair! Don't think I'm going to get my extensions put back in yet 🙈

@SmileyT literally the reason I still work there😂 she makes the day bearable 😂 that sounds like something we would do too! 😂

SarahTTC2020 · 11/07/2020 10:25

@Minster2012 happy birthday!! You deserve to have the best day 🥂 hope the sun is shining where you are!

@KateColx your hair is beautiful 😍

@Juno231 that cake recipe sounds amazing 🤤

AF turned up fully this morning... Trying to think of the positives which are: 33 day cycle rather than 40-45 (hoping it's not a random one off), I can drink next weekend when we are having a garden party with both sets of parents because they would have known immediately if I wasn't drinking, and there's a hot tub.

Minster2012 · 11/07/2020 10:32

Thank you lovelies 🥰😘 DH has just slyly got 2 big plants from his mum for me from her, & a cake complete with candles for this afternoon, so sweet & so tick n roll getting clematis & honeysuckle plants for your birthday 😋I will take a pic of the undies later for you guys (not on me don't worry!)

@Katecolx you look stunning those eyebrows too wow 😳

@Vil10 that sounds so good and we've walked aroun Malham cove too it's lovely especially when it ends with a Sunday lunch 😙

@juno231 brilliant evening and a night totally off, go girl

lucyrp · 11/07/2020 10:34

@Minster2012 Happy Birthday you! You're such a strong lady with an amazing story. I would be privileged to call you my MN friend 🤩 hope you have a lovely day and you get spoilt by DH and DS. Hope you get some use of those skimpy underwear later 😏💕

LittleRa · 11/07/2020 10:34

@SmileyT Yes, second DC for me but first for my DP so it’s a mixture of emotions all round- all positive! My DD is 6, I don’t think I’ll tell her for a good long while yet but she will be so excited! She loves playing with her dolls and looking after them. Plus she’s an only child here at my house whereas at her Dad’s his partner has 2 DDs so it will be so nice for her to have a sibling here. Obviously there’ll be a big age gap (this baby due March and DD will be 7 in the May).

The thing I’m agonising now is whether to move house! I bought this house myself after splitting with my ex and selling the house we shared. Because it was just me buying, it’s smaller and in a slightly not as nice area (but still fine!). Now I’m with DP we could buy together and with our combined salaries afford bigger and nicer area (he moved in here by default as was renting with friends). But buying/moving is such a ball-ache, especially pregnant or with a newborn! Plus staying here together would be cheaper so could have longer maternity leave, afford holidays etc!

@Vil10 Love Malham Cove, I used to walk there with my Dad!

LittleRa · 11/07/2020 10:35

@Minster2012 Happy birthday!

@KateColx love the hair! I’m jealous 💁‍♀️

Juno231 · 11/07/2020 10:36

@SarahTTC2020 selfishly I'm happy we seem to have quite a few cycle buddies for early August testing 🙊 sorry to hear the witch did show, but sounds like you have lots of silver linings to it!

@minster2012 I missed that it was your bday - congratulations 🎊. Hope you have a lovely day xx

@LBee2020 i find the femometer ones reliable and cheap and I use the femometer app to track them with. Saying that you can use any cheapie OPKs with the app as long as they look similar.

@SmileyT I'd equally love a quiet weekend though! If I were you I think I'd be searching etsy and Pinterest for nursery inspo already lol but then again I have no discipline 😅

Cocoblue22 · 11/07/2020 10:37

@lucyrp it's certainly very interesting! Learnt something new there! So do they not hurt or geeky tight on your own hair? X

@KateColx your hair looks lovely too! Do you have extensions? And your eyebrows are lovely too what do you have done to them? X

So curling/waving tips ladies what do you use? I used to use curling tongs but they make it too tight. Tried wands etc and I can't do it with straightners. When I've tried to do my own it drops out so quick my hair is naturally quite straight but if my hairdresser does it it stays in! X

@SmileyT aww your OH is so cute 😍 is your hair naturally short then? I'm contemplating getting my eyelash extensions back in when they reopen but not sure about laying there for an hour when pg as not meant to lay on your back? It's all things to consider! X

Also ladies any foundation recommendations? I usually use a bb cream but I want something better now but not cakey or heavy I'm quite pale too so I usually need the lightest shade (don't want to look tangoed) throw those recommendations this way please x

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/07/2020 10:38

@Minster2012 aww happy birthday honey! How you celebrating? Apart from the shag fest 😝 and 10 points to hubs for the undies! Mine is yet to do that. Maybe on our one year wedding anniversary next month 😂
@Cocoblue22 ooh sounds good! A couple to pop on the watch list! Might just Netflix and chill all day today. No I can't, I said I'd be productive whilst Dh is out. I need to achieve something else other than getting shagged today 😆
@KateColx Christ how gorge are you!! Lucky hubs 😏
@Juno231 your day sounds fab! Enjoy 😊
@SmileyT haha can't beat a good head wrap! Hubs is up and playing oasis now. He always has them on before a game, I've married such a geeza 😂
@SarahTTC2020 good mantra! I try and do that too, think of all the positives instead of the negatives. Yay to the drinking and hot tub next week, sounds idyllic 👌🏾

2alreadywantanother · 11/07/2020 10:43

Happy birthday @minster2012 have a fantastic day x

2020mission · 11/07/2020 10:43

@Juno231 I'm with you on the hair... I'm the type that goes for a 15 minute dry cut when I get my hair sorted 😂 you all have glamorous hair! Getting my hair up for my wedding last year was such a treat for me haha

lucyrp · 11/07/2020 10:54

@Cocoblue22 I wouldn't worry about lying on your back as I know people who are in the last trimester and have had lashes up until now and will carry on doing so when they can. I use the beauty works curling wand for curling and its so good! Foundation wise I love too faced or Charlotte tilbury. The extensions are a bit tight I would say for the first day or so but I lobe how they feel when they're so close to my head weird I know 😂 but then they obviously grow with your hair. When I first got them it was weird sleeping with them for a while but you get used to it and I wouldn't say they hurt.

Minster2012 · 11/07/2020 10:56

@littlera I would def take advantage of the low interest rates currently & the stamp duty holidays plus they are on about changing the stamp duty holiday threshold too to higher. So I would buy now/in a bit when the new stamp duty differences are announced

@cocoblue22 I use this, I'm very fair plus I have vitiligo and wear minimal makeup up & I find it dead easily I wear the palest
www.benefitcosmetics.com/uk/en-gb/product/hello-happy-soft-blur-foundation#full&sku=EM43

@Notyetamumbuttrying we are waiting fir my parents to pick up DS for the first night off in 4 months then we have a meal out booked for a late lunch, (excited about food out!) it's a bit bitter sweet though as we had a meal booked there (we were given vouchers for Xmas) in March as our "we are pregnant yay" celebration meal after our viability scan at 8 weeks that never ended up happening as we never got that far 😢but it will be good though. Then long walk with dogs this afternoon, pub drink & then picky tea & film in with drinks & newly acquired skimpy undies & shag fest 🥰😂oh & a lie in!!

Vil10 · 11/07/2020 10:57

@Minster2012 do you live near there??

@LittleRa we only live about 40 mins away but have never been, always one of those that we say "oh we'll go next weekend" and it never happens!

@Cocoblue22 I use the hot tools curl bar and I love it! You can get different size bars, depends what kinda curl you want, I really want to get the beauty works waver though, it gives you like a beach wave kinda hair, thinking for holiday it would look unreal! Foundation wise I use Mac, have used illamasqua in the past but wouldn't recommend, apparently nars is quite good too!x

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/07/2020 11:02

@Minster2012 ahh well sounds like you'll really enjoy it all the same. I hope you do! Your whole day sounds fab! Enjoy 😉
@Juno231 I'll be a late July tester with my wonderful 24 day cycles 😫 more chance to conceive but then more time for headfucks with all the hormones constantly!
@LittleRa ministers right with the stamp duty incentive. Best time to buy now! If you need any free mortgage advise let me know and I'll share Dh's work number with you. Or I'm sure @SmileyT could help actually seeing as she's one too.

Minster2012 · 11/07/2020 11:10

@Vil10 we are east Yorks it's still well over an hour away for us, but it's near a SIL& BIL so we've seen them & been there. In fact we nearly killed ourselves doing a walk last year when the most horrendous weather came in, & we were on a viaduct top in like 80mph winds being pushed into walls trying to walk & our water froze in our pockets m, it was only cos the wind was going away from the edge that we were lucky. We could just plough on & got through it. No DS thank god with us. Is that near you?

LittleRa · 11/07/2020 11:11

@Cocoblue22 I use Benefit too, I am super pale so I use the palest one- it’s the Hello Happy range.

@notyetamumbuttrying @SmileyT @Minster2012 I’m in a fixed term mortgage at my current house until December, so when would be a good time to put on the market? Another reason to move is school catchment argh! My DD still goes to the lovely school she got into from when I lived in my old house with ex but baby wouldn’t get into that school from here (even though it’s not too far, we still walk!)

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/07/2020 11:15

@LittleRa you'd need to check what the terms are for breaking contract early. If it's not too expensive consider putting it on the market ASAP. The stamp duty cut is on until March 2021 so you could be cutting it fine waiting until dec. sounds like you have other things to consider tho so don't go for it just because of the incentive.
