Supporting ‘small changes’ into spring whilst TTC...🌱🌼🌸🍀- Fun Bus 34

[Minster2012]

Last time we actually got reported straight away, for being too fun for MN...was it a week ago?? Maybe 😋😝but they can’t hold us back as the Harry Potter speed bus flies...

We’ve worked out a fleshlight for horses on a MN bus is NOT WELCOME, but how do I know what you have in your suitcase? I’m just the driver, a passenger’s belongings is their own responsibility, and my bags have LOADS of OPKs, loads of pills, fruit, veg, wine, gin & trainers for my workouts.

We aren’t just challenging ourselves to get pregnant & trying to help each other do so, we are also trying to help each other get fitter and sharing small changes we are making in our lives and trying to inspire & support each other with these too...

Have a look at the small changes beside the names and see if you want to try them yourself or add in your own!

We are in this together 🥰♥️🙌🏻💪🏻
Spring is coming, and so are we 😘🦄🍀🌸🌷🌻🌼

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@Justanothercyster @InkyPaper @larrythelizard
thank you all so much!!

@bez91 yay you go girl!! I literally cannot run to save my life.

@blackcurrantqueen look after yourself.

@Florence13 congrats on your masters!🥳

@Skip86 well done for your pamper day, you defo deserve it 🥰💞

This week I've been at work for a total of 8 hours so far and so done with it alresdy. Heating not on so its freezing and the pointless cleaning isn't really making any of us energised. Got my 16 week appointment tomorrow morning so nervous for that although I'm sure I've felt baby move the last week or so. Hopefully hear a heartbeat 🥺

@lucyrp 16 weeks wow! I'm sure there will be a very healthy baby in there don't worry 😘🥰let us know

@Franklydear we are all still alive thank goodness & all enjoying a very well deserved rest tonight now after what felt like a very long day!! On the Instagram it didn't show the best bit of X annoying the dogs through the door I might post that now 🤪😂honestly they are stupid, it went on for 15 mins before I decided enough was enough & I would either have the RSPCA or NSPCC banging down the door 😆

@paintfairy I see so the 4 days of spotting might be a progesterone thing? Well let's hope the pessaries sort it & help a bean get snuggly 🤞🏻

@Skip86 you defo deserve a pamper day, how are you doing?

@lucyrp thank you and oh my goodness!! Cannot believe your 16 weeks and I’m sure it will be fine hun but can understand the nerves.

@lucyrp 16 weeks! Boo for pointless work though
@Skip86 glad you can find your feet again, you'll be just fine, darling!
@Minster2012 take a win where you find it

Work is getting fun, the newbies have discovered that mama Frank will sort your problems, one has even abandoned bossboy and comes to me for everything, to his annoyance

@Minster2012 I hope so🥺 will be magic to hear them in there. Will keep you all updated !

@Florence13 I know it's gone so quick! Fast but slow at the same time! 🙈

@larrythelizard @Kirky658 thanks ladies! You loose stamina so quickly don't you when you stop. I really enjoy it but I've had to stop before either due to injury or pregnancy. So impressive Kirky that you're keeping going!

@lucyrp that's super exciting! Sorry work has been poo though!

@lucyrp I reckon everything is bob on for you tomorrow ❤️
@bez91 ahhh thanks lovely, some days are harder than others, bashed out a 4 miler in under 40 mins last weekend, then yesterday 3.5 miles in 40 mins...what can you do. Just to keep me sane 🤣
Scan day for me tomorrow. Properly nervous now....

@Franklydear yes! So rubbish. Missed work but now I'm jot so sure ....

@bez91 was looking forward to being back once upon a time and now think that's gone out of the window although not sure how long I could have carried on WFH for tho ..

@Kirky658 thanks lovely. You too🥰🥰

Oh yeah there's @Kirky658 full on pregnant just bashing out a 3.5miler yesterday before her (absolutely fine) scan tomorrow and here's me slugging the spritzer after a urrrrrr Tuesday??? 😂🤣😅

@Franklydear maybe don't say that mama frank will sort the newbies problems, that sounds a little fifty shades

@lucyrp them? Do you have twins in there you haven't mentioned?!

Oh that's shit, I'm sorry @blackcurrantqueen. Enjoy your wine and I hope it soothes you x

@Minster2012 yes, that's the thinking. So we shall see if it happens this month!

I've damaged myself exercising. Taylor Swift emkfit. I was ok but after a while it seems I've hurt my back. Day off tomorrow! I've got a yoga mat now though so I can alternate with that maybe.

@lucyrp good luck tomorrow! I can't believe how fast its gone either.
@Franklydear 🤣 mama Frank.

@Franklydear haha loving the mama frank 😂

@Minster2012 I’m joining you with the alcohol should probably be putting more effort into the exercise 🤔

Thanks all, it's about being so much older than them, they gave me two teen-agers this time, and the rest of the team are bachelor guys, they need a mother figure, @Minster2012 no 50 shades in this office, hell no! Haven't seen it anyway, more in Mediterranean mother/wise woman stuff

@Florence13 exercise starts tomorrow then. Tonight there is wine! Just not Taylor swift, she's mean, she hurts ppl, just ask @paintfairy 🤣😂

@lucyrp irs weird isn't it discussed with my friend that she should go into her office once a week (she's able to they just don't) and she really misses it even the commute so she's going to, a reason to get dressed mixer, make up, travel in change in routine, sit somewhere different & I genuinely think that's a really good thing for a lot of ppl to maybe do if they can. Especially if there's not actually many other ppl around. Social interaction, more normality & change in routine. If ppl can it's a good idea, I don't know if a lot of places will look to permanently change their working patterns or what but she really missed it.

OMG I realised we missed @Sausage1990's birthday yesterday in the manic ness I'm soooooo sorry Sausage 😬🤪☹️🥳🎂🍰hope you had a lovely day it's a rubbish driver sometimes 🎂

@Minster2012 nooo not twins but I don't know what else to call said baby in my tummy. I do think it's a she though🙈 yeah I mean if my work was a reason to get dressed up and do my make up and travel I think I would be excited to do so too but the fact it's a 5 minute drive up the road and my uniform isn't exactly sexy or even fits at the moment doesnt fill me with excitement 😂

@paintfairy thank you!🥰

@Kirky658 @lucyrp good luck with the scans today ladies!

@blackcurrantqueen sorry about the bleeding, I hope the wine helped x

@Franklydear hahaha I had a housemate in uni who's surname was Franks, and we used to call him Papa Franks 😂

Ahhhh Happy belated Birthday @Sausage1990! Hope you had a lovely day 🎉🌟🎉🌟🎉🌟

All the talk about work, I'm actually dreading going back to teach next week 😫 I'm so terrified of the stress and there is NO social distancing because realistically it can't happen in a school! So I'll be seeing upwards of 180 kids per day, and that's excluding everyone in the corridors because our building is so small and logistically you can't separate groups. Wonderful. Oh, and the government has also said that kids must be tested, but also that if their parents don't consent to it they don't have to - how fucking stupid, what's the point!! Frickin lottery as to whether i and many others get sick or not then...

@Sausage1990 happy birthday 🎉🎂🍾 hope you had a great day
@Justanothercyster it's all a great plan, our poor headteacher has sent an email saying that now the children are coming back, she's going to do exactly the same she was doing before, nothing changed so what can she do? no mention yet of any testing, of children, and parents....

Took a test this morning, bfn, so I'll just wait for af in a couple of days then, I am ok about it

@Kirky658 @lucyrp hope all goes well with your scans today ladies 😊

Ladies for anyone wanting a laugh at someone else's misfortune.. recycling bin day today. DH took all the inside recycling bin out to the bin last night which happened to contain a lot of cardboard; multiple FRER, Clearblue Digital OPKs and Seven Seas “trying for a baby” shaped cardboard. He took it out when it was pitch black and it's rammed fiull - obviously missed the bin completely without realising. Late one this morning getting out the house and blown all over our cul-de-sac of 7 houses 🙈 so I’ve had to scavenge the street picking up my cardboard off people's front gardens that screems “he’s shagging her bareback at number 4” 😂 DD was shouting at the top of her voice "'mummy what are you doing" just to bring more attention to us. A few OAP neighbours have already been out for their morning paper (because that’s obviously an essential journey) and the bloke next door has winked at me.... urgh ground swallow me up 🙈

I'm only jesting with you @lucyrp massive good luck ☺️not that you need it lovely

@Kirky658 you too hun I know yours is later but you'll be fine, we are looking forwards to a fab update from you & so pleased you took you HRM off

@Justanothercyster so tough for you teachers I really feel for you guys like @Franklydear has said what can the heads do? 😬☹️try to keep yourselves safe

If anyone is interested what my clinic said to me on the vaccine front btw I was discussing it with my friend who asked as she is TTC & was offered it.

So I've had my first. They advised me as soon as I was offered it to have it when our transfer was cancelled. Now I've had it we discussed it they said:

• If we were TTC naturally having had vaccine 1 he wouldn't have an issue (despite them saying don't TTC for 3 months he said they just have to say that to cover their backs)
• for them "hot off the press" last week pregnant ladies who have had 1st jabs if they are higher risk categories SHOULD have the second no matter what stage they are so that means me which is the only reason we can go ahead with our ivf in the mean time & try & get me pregnant as my next jab is mid April.
• otherwise the advice is still for pregnant ladies not to have the second vaccine unless they are higher risk so he said I would have had to have my second THEN WAIT 2 months after that then start so around July.
• he said basically there should be new advice in the mean time to say pregnant ladies should have both vaccines or the first but they are duty bound as an organisation to follow the guidelines to the letter & he saw no risk for TTC.

So I sneak in under the rules of higher risk. It seems as we thought it's just covering.

@bez91 BRILLIANT!!
