Sorry I was writing that then had to stop to deal with grumpy toddler so didn't see all in between will catch up over breakfast

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 09:11

@Minster2012 thank you, I’ll read the email, I have a review with my nurse on Wednesday, the first time I wasn’t originally on the list, my gp put me on due to the recurrent chest infections I was having since December, I never got an nhs letter, just her guidance, I have been infection free since June, and my stats are not too bad at the moment... I suspect I need to get a grip, I am in the very south east so our number are not horrendous either... I think this year might be getting on top of me now, also ds would still go to school, so I couldn’t shield completely easily.

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 09:19

And bestie boy is on holiday😭

Minster2012 · 07/11/2020 09:27

That's ok @Franklydear I'm not shielding, DS at nursery, but I'm limiting visits anywhere (except I've got my bloody oncology scans x3 in 2 different hospitals in a higher risk area than mine but hey Ho)
I told my employer I had to be furloughed again and he demanded a blow job...he's very demanding like that. He spanked me for being subordinate. 😆🙄
He's DH.

@Smushty14 ahhh I get it...now you have a bigger house you need something to fill it with!

@Newbie0818 underwhelming? Noooooo the bullet of dreams...you'll just have to be a wizard instead! I think your dog would prefer that 😂

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 09:31

@Minster2012 I am also limiting visits and number of people, gp advised that a week before witty, the woman has a crystal ball, I just don’t know how to feel better about it all, I feel worried about the bus mainly, at work my contacts are the same 6 people, everybody else I can avoid completely, but if I stay home and don’t go anywhere I’ll go mad, also I already had 5 months off this year and was just about getting in a routine, we are not reducing hours either this time

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 09:32

@Minster2012 forgot to mention, your employer terms are the pits 🤣😳

Kirky658 · 07/11/2020 09:33

@franklydear oh bloody hell they sound even worse than my manager and that's saying something!

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 09:39

@Kirky658 a few years ago, I felt on ice and spring my knee, I couldn’t stand up, still every morning I got a call asking when I could get back to work, I was only off for 5 days, as the doctor recommended me to move, so I got myself to work, do something a couple of hours and back, and you would think I was taking the piss

Kirky658 · 07/11/2020 09:46

@franklydear good god. They sound delightful. My manager was being an asshole about me needing time off for a laparoscopy earlier this year, she was more concerned about my work being covered than my wellbeing. As it happened in the end it was postponed till June and I was on furlough anyway haha hhahahaa to her

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 09:50

@Kirky658 what well-being? You’re a number, don’t you know? If it wasn’t for the wages...

Kirky658 · 07/11/2020 09:58

@franklydear that couldn't be more true.

Any plans for the weekend ladies? We've got to try and sort the car out, clean the house, I have to prep for my interview... Sometimes the list feels never ending!

lucyrp · 07/11/2020 10:01

@Kirky658 working all weekend! 😴🥱

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 10:02

I have left over candy from Halloween so well do it again, movie and candy, and DH found a forgotten about bottle of wine, not my favourite but will do, happy days
Oh and I don't know if to help my brother to calm down or wind him up on his isolation...

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 10:04

@lucyrp how are you managing? What are you doing at work?

lucyrp · 07/11/2020 10:07

@Franklydear CD4 here so nothing happening. In work to be quite frank im doing nothing 😫

Sausage1990 · 07/11/2020 10:14

Hi ladies just marking my spot so I don't loose you. 😊

Missgoldilocks · 07/11/2020 10:34

Hey everyone. Hows it going? Sorry I've been quiet, quite fed up of it all lol. Good news though, I'm having a Laparoscopy at the end of the month so I'm really excited for it and hopefully they can have a clear out 😂

Minster2012 · 07/11/2020 10:44

@Franklydear I said #metoo to my boss & reminded him I'm the real boss by tying him up 🤣

@Kirky658 the list IS never ending but focus on interview prep

@Missgoldilocks love that you are looking forwards to it!

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 10:46

@Minster2012 somehow I am not sure that'll teach him 😱😆. Can't do that to mine, no way

lucyrp · 07/11/2020 11:35

@Missgoldilocks omg are you not scared of the incisions ?😬🙈

SmileyT · 07/11/2020 11:50

About 5hours but I've had a proper catch up, loved reading about the new and well trusted sex toys 🍆 ... my OH is not a big sex toy guy, most of mine are still at my parents, I'm surprised my mum doesn't send me her 'do you really still need this' messages about them even though when I go home they always seem to have moved drawers 😂 Take advantage now ladies on my preg fb group about 25% of the ladies said they had only had sex once or twice since BFPs because either them or their OHs are scared to hurt baby 😬

Congrats to all those that got their BFPs and sorry to those that had Shitty AF turn up, some beaut charts though which says that the bodies are doing what they should, a bit like tinder you just need to wait for the sperm to find the egg it likes x

@Sausage1990 sorry to read all of your updates, but glad the physical pain has gone and you have that negative (I didn't wait for a Snow White test but when mine was pretty faint I took it as negative) also thanks for the tip on nutracheck, I've downloaded it ❤️

The diet chat was also really interesting, I'm a big advocate of exercise over diet if you're quite short, I'm 5ft2 and if I relied on diet alone I'd realistically have to eat like 1100 calories a day to lose weight, most meals in restaurants are about that amount of calories so in normal times completely not sustainable 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Minster2012 I've PM'd you but thanks for the referral, we haven't bought little man anything yet so maybe this weekend he will get lucky and get his first outfit 🥰 also really hope that your IVF isn't postponed x

@Juno231 what a fab job you are doing with driving the bus, alongside a house move, an OH that isn't putting out as much as you'd like and what sounds like a standard city shitty working environment xx

@Franklydear my work sound like yours, I told them I didn't feel like it was safe to get on the underground everyday when Covid cases were rising and they said 'just use your holiday' mmm no I will not be taking holiday to sit in lockdown you twats

Also can't remember who was asking (and can't go back to last chat without losing this) but for work maternity pay it's completely down to the company, like Google don't have a min time in role so you could start and still get 6months full pay but some companies say 12months for full benefits. For SMP you have to have been employed with the company at least a week before you fall pregnant (but obviously bearing in mind your dates can change). Good luck with the 2nd interview 🤞

Hope all the rest of you are doing well this bus still gives me so much joy ❤️

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 11:57

@SmileyT hello lovely lady.
Last lockdown my work wasn’t making the right noises so after normal sick leave for an infection, my gp just signed me off 12 weeks for shielding and that was the end of it, then they weren’t in a hurry to have me back, tbh I don’t know what I want, which doesn’t help, let’s see what the nurse says next week

Dollybird89 · 07/11/2020 12:05

I'm still feeling in limbo atm had really light spotting for 2 days now and keep waking up with headaches and been getting really painful spots on my face which I've not had since a teenager (31 on the 22nd nov) OH keeps saying ive got pregnancy hair ?!? Never heard that 1 before. After no at for 3 months I can't predict when my ad is due or when I ovulated but I do remember having some twinges a few week back. Enough of that rant . Next rant is dtd.. I love my oh millions but I'm constantly frustrated in the week as he has a highly physical demanding job so can't dtd during the week and usually limited to once at the weekend.. I feel bad for moaning about it when my last partner refused me sex for 2 1/2 years! Im not much of a bullet gal but I have a magic wand and I swear they are brilliant lol . Gonna do a test next Fri to see if spotting was a result of anything happening . Failing that I have ultrasound booked on the 24th for checks to ovaries... but want my bfp 😭

SmileyT · 07/11/2020 12:17

@Franklydear Yeah I know what you mean... when you don't know whether you want to stay at home, it's harder to have the convo as you don't even know what the best outcome would be 🙈 also the out of date cream on the cake story the other day really cracked me up 😂

Franklydear · 07/11/2020 12:24

@SmileyT boss boy still not talking to me over it, which makes this harder as he is usually my sounding board to higher management, I can afford to piss him off...
