So ladies. You thought you got rid of me eh? Like the omnipresent flashing smiley face on the joker clear blue sticks you can’t get past I’m BACK! 🤡😄

The agency driver did the most amazing job I tried to offer a permanent job but apparently temping is much more lucrative & she’s got a gig elsewhere much better paid than driving you reprobates so you a stuck with me I’m afraid, like that rash you’ve been meaning to go to the doctors about or a guy with a cheesey dick you really need to have a conversation with but can’t bring yourself too 🤪�hthank you so much @larrythelizard

We’ve reserved a bench seat each for our newest 2 sets of bus twins, but don’t worry there’s still room for more!

So get those cheese dicks 🧀🍆washed & prepped, park up the camper van, ditch the whey powder & join the team for the banging game!

The price of your bus pass is an embarrassing story please, doesn’t have to go be TTC related and nothing is TMI here so let’s hope the ride (bus not banging) doesn’t take long 🤞🏻🙌🏻

This is where dogs, dicks & chat go hand in hand as we navigate the stormy seas of TTC.

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

@Minster2012 I remember you saying. When I worked there it was easy but the people were absolute wankers and I would never buy from there after seeing how they sell stuff. Absolute rip off 🤣

Juno231 · 09/06/2021 07:46

@Minster2012 for a future kitchen - use DIY kitchens (it's a company, not actually DIY!). Howdens quality at a fracture of the price! I think they have a showroom in Yorkshire potentially 🤔

bez91 · 09/06/2021 07:55

Oooh I've heard bad things about Wren too. I work quite closely with Howdens in my job can't slate them that much and they're ok but it's not my kitchen they're supplying 😆 heard good things about DIY kitchens @Juno231 👌🏼

Not much to report here, quite enjoying not tracking anything I feel a bit freeeeeee! @larrythelizard how that going for you? Meeting with consultant Friday about initial fertility investigations, nervous but excited 😬

feliznavidad2 · 09/06/2021 08:04

I've developed a tummy bug - felt grim in the night. Glad we DTD yesterday and the day before as won't be today. 😷 Flo & PreMom apps tell me it's ovulation day so here's hoping.

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/06/2021 08:10

@Franklydear sounds amazing! Good restraint not going all the time I say. And defo balanced right 😏
Haha no kicking going on anymore now 😂
@Minster2012 ah I see now 🤭
He's redeemed himself now. Well, actually I went out for the evening which defo helped 😆 I went to the cinema for the first time in about two years I reckon! Saw quiet place 2, was alright.
Ooh I need to start glow up!
@bez91 ooh good luck for Friday matey!!
@feliznavidad2 oh no! Hope you feel better soon x

Minster2012 · 09/06/2021 08:22

@Juno231 yes we have our utility room cabinets from DIY kitchens, it's great, the showroom is in pontefract

@bez91 oooo that's great about Friday & being relaxed

@feliznavidad2 sorry you are feeling rough but you are covered so you can recover & relax

@notyetamumbuttrying I don't think I could sit through a film in a cinema now, I'd fall asleep but I'm glad you enjoyed it & he's redeemed 🙌🏻

@Franklydear how you feeling today?

OP posts:
larrythelizard · 09/06/2021 08:22

Ooh I like Glow Up @notyetamumbuttrying but I always laugh at how intently they judge the face off!!

I'm enjoying the relaxed shagging @bez91 and just relying on EWCM and a general knowledge of my cycle rather than temping and OPKs. I had Day 21 bloods yesterday so will see what the Dr has to say. Exciting having the first consultation, have you had bloods already?

@Minster2012 you should definitely get a baby if you're the local legend!

Oh no @feliznavidad2 at least you DTD yesterday. Make sure you drink a lot today.

Lol at your bits @paintfairy none of me could really be arsed yesterday but got it done!!

paintfairy · 09/06/2021 08:26

@larrythelizard I've got a sore patch! Makes it less enjoyable.
Ah I had forgotten about DIY kitchens but I do know someone that used them and it was ok. I know someone that used Howdens though (through their joiner) and that was ok. Albeit expensive. Maybe it just depends? I certainly wouldn't use wren though. 🤣

Haiyaa · 09/06/2021 08:39

Another vote for DIY Kitchens here, we’ve ordered for our kitchen to be fitted in August. Can’t wait but THE MESS! OMG maybe I should just take myself off on holiday for two weeks! We went to the showroom and it is very good quality. Got the quartz for the worktops from an independent supplier though as it was admittedly a better deal.

Oh dear @feliznavidad2, as @larrythelizard says, plenty of fluids especially in this heat!

How are you feeling today @Franklydear, I half hope you are feeling better and half hope not because it is morning sickness 😃

@Minster2012, yes surely the prize for being the local legend should be a sticky bean! Much better than a medal!

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/06/2021 08:55

@Minster2012 I did close my eyes a couple of times 😆
@larrythelizard I can't wait to start it!
When do you get your results bk?
@paintfairy ouchy to the sore patch 😓

Franklydear · 09/06/2021 09:17

@Minster2012 @Haiyaa I feel better in myself, read overdose in every medication I own, but still nauseus, haven't been sick today, cd 23! Pms wise I feel completely normal, except boobs are sore and big but not dense iykwim

Juno231 · 09/06/2021 09:48

@Haiyaa ooh which range did you go for? We'll be going with them for our kitchen too but were also planning to go independent for the worktops.

Minster2012 · 09/06/2021 10:04

@Franklydear glad you are feeling a bit better and I'm still very hopeful for you 🤞🏻

@notyetamumbuttrying you were "resting your eyes" as my daddy always says!

@Haiyaa how are you feeling atm, have you been testing more?

My silly situation this morning, I finished my breakfast, Greek yoghurt with berries FYI, & went to the loo & was doing my daily CM check, so upon looking I thought "oh god that's totally white WTF, what kind of cm is that??" No idea, but I did then think to myself it looks a lot like Greek yoghurt 🤣🤔😝

Dollybird89 · 09/06/2021 10:07

Morning all... Saw gp and got to self refer for physio on my foot. .. plus had 2 dif drs look at the odd lumps on my arch and they have no idea what it is so gave me anti inflammatory gel to try 🤷

Cd 68 and stopped spotting .. decided to randomly test and of course bfn .. did have faint line on lh test gonna keep eye on that see if I get a rise. I don't know why I'm sad about the bfn especially with my stupid cycles... Guess the spotting had me hopeful 🥺😢 God ttc is a b*tch

paintfairy · 09/06/2021 10:36

@Haiyaa who is fitting it? That's the bit I was unsure about with those? The person I know that used them just did it themselves. We can't. 🤣

Haiyaa · 09/06/2021 10:49

We have gone for the Stanbury in dark blue @Juno231, we got a quote for an almost identical kitchen from Wickes, and by finding our own fitters, using DIY Kitchens and the independent for the quartz it is literally about £5000 cheaper! It’s unbelievable! Plus we really liked the quality of the DIY units, they are pretty solid.

@Minster2012 not too bad, think progesterone has me as I am raging (but am at the 🧀🍆 practice again so might just be that…) Didn’t want to spam everyone, but did test this morning and looking good for 12dpo, even have a line on the 25miu cheapy. Even more miraculous that I got those lines when I have been drinking ALL the water and even my FMU is rather light so I’m happy (for now) 😂

TWINS?! Oh f**k! 😱 avoiding those 🧀🍆& banging in camper vans; it’s TTC bus 42
Haiyaa · 09/06/2021 10:50

@paintfairy we just got an independent fitter. Father and son team seem pretty good looking at there other work/reviews. And the worktops get fitted by the company that makes them.

larrythelizard · 09/06/2021 10:59

Well, GYCM it was then @Minster2012!

Sounds like progress of sorts on both your foot and a LH rise @Dollybird89?! Hope the gel works quickly!

What a lovely lovely line @Haiyaa! So pleased for you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Day off with DS today, nice to be outside, shame terrible 2's has hit big style despite the fact he's not quite 2!

blackcurrantqueen · 09/06/2021 11:09

@Minster2012 I get that white type CM post ov usually...!

@Haiyaa woo for two lines !! 🥰 this looks super positive!!

@Dollybird89 glad you saw GP about your foot; sorry your body is messing around, I think a BFN even when you're expecting it is never easy when it what you really want xxxxx

We are all feeling pretty shit here!
DD woke up poorly so she's had a covid test this morning and I'm feeling sick and absolutely knackered. She's too little and high needs to allow me to close my eyes on the sofa, can't wait for her to sit and watch a film. Her 5am wake ups are getting super tiring now!

Had acupuncture yesterday, she did the moxi but with water to put it out so it smelt less, and then a few acupuncture points.

Taking it one day at a time until Sunday which is my 7 week reassurance scan.. 🤞🏼

Juno231 · 09/06/2021 11:12

@Haiyaa gorgeous line progression!! Gonna have a look at stanbury now..

@paintfairy yeah you get fitters in to do it :) One of my friends has had two houses with diykitchens and both looked stunning/great quality. Check out people tagging them on insta as the customer kitchens are really lovely - I keep filing them away for future reference.

@Minster2012 erm... so was it greek yoghurt??

Minster2012 · 09/06/2021 11:39

@paintfairy we are like that, though my dad is good at fitting things but the builders put ours in.

@Juno231 I want to say mine is Linwood graphite? And I didn't lick it so still unsure on the GYCM front @larrythelizard I'm struggling to log that on my apps 🤣

@blackcurrantqueen nooooo to feeling rubbish, X loves 45 min videos on colours/songs/rhymes/cars which are my go to when ill

@Dollybird89 oh darling I hope the gel helps and maybe the LH continues to increase. I'm also a double dipper when doing an LH the other day and it was non existent I thought what the heck I'll dip in an HCG obviously nothing on it 🤣

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 09/06/2021 11:40

And @Haiyaa that's great boom!! But not great on the 🧀🍆working

OP posts:
Juno231 · 09/06/2021 11:47

@Minster2012 i feel like greek yoghurt CM will make it to the next title... linwood is a lovely range! curved corners right?

@Franklydear what's the latest in symptom spotting? Got my fingers crossed for you

Minster2012 · 09/06/2021 12:06

Greek yoghurt cm noted!! (And NOT googled at all) 😬yes that's it for Linwood

larrythelizard · 09/06/2021 12:29

Oh dear @blackcurrantqueen DS is a similar age to your DD I think and bizarrely obsessed with the Curious George films on Netflix - can get maybe 30 mins peace after putting one on...!
