Your service has been interrupted as your normal bus driver has connectivity issues. Just as well there's a driver out there who's done the route as cover before...! As ever, apologies if I've got any of it wrong!

Here is the bus where anything goes, and chat isn’t just TTC it’s anything. Ranting very much encouraged to her things off your (are they sore boobs?!) chest. The last bus had loads of work promotions too & we’ve still got interviews so hopefully it’s a lucky bus in more ways than just making babies.

We are here to help and support each other & anything goes. We’ve had losses, heartache & some super fertile short ride passengers so welcome all.

The price of your bus pass is an embarrassing story please, doesn’t have to go be TTC related but can you beat breaking a guy’s banjo in a BJ or whilst DTD?! 🤞🏻🙌🏻

And if you see mention of minster's blog then blame the ladies on the thread but @minster2012 needs to carry on with it it, I’ve been lazy! #shamelessplug

@larrythelizard yeah maybe! Who knows. I'm just not very optimistic after all this time.
@DKDK123 you definitely aren't alone. And it must definitely is shit! There are a lot of people that struggle with it though. It seems very unfair when you watch people get pregnant at the drop of a hat. We've started watching the handmaid's tale and I'm now pleased not to be too fertile. 🤣 You never know!
@Dollybird89 forgot to say- I'm partway through season 3 of Virgin River.

bez91 · 21/07/2021 11:19

Garden looks awesome @Minster2012 have fun on the dumper!

Yayyy @becarefuloutthere how long will it be until you're in your new house?

@DKDK123 thank you. Sorry you're having a down day. We've got you and you will get your baby 💕 I also might jump on the MFP with you guys, it's been a while since I've tracked. I'm Bez9124
Feel yours and @blackcurrantqueen pain on the early risers 💕 DD has woken at 5/5:30am since birth now she's almost 4 it's only just started to get better. Sleep consultant we had was useless and basically said sorry can't help you. Hope you both start to get some more sleep soon!

Sunbird24 · 21/07/2021 11:24

Blimey @bez91, I hope they didn’t charge you for that helpful advice!

kaylsd · 21/07/2021 11:26

@Larrythelizard literally so happy for the weather break today my thighs could not take any more chubrub issues 🤣🤣

@Juno231 you may just be my life saver I’m going to head out shopping after work and purchase some of these, sounds what I exactly need 🙈

@bez91 congratulations on the job sweetheart! 👏👏❤️

@blackcurrantqueen omg I think I would rather opt for the sticky sweaty nursing uniform than rock a tunic with some knee length shorts 👀 we just got told to drink more and can take off tights if we wear our dresses that’s about it, although I like the idea of that it’s not practical with some people we come across 😣

@Minster2012 I think my limitations in posh polos would be to invest in one if primark did one for like 1.50 what shrinks after one wash.. however I used to love how some people could carry wearing Ralph Lauren polos but I just like a teenager 🙃 your back garden looks huge! Looks like the perfect zen space for you though 😍

@lucyrp good luck with everything with your birthday plan hopefully it goes to plan but 10 mins it’ll be like rocket fuel coming out of your bits! Are they being too optimistic 🙈 only time will tell for you!

@sunbird24 yay for the test, you can relax now hopefully and enjoy the rest ahead of you 🥰

@DKDK123 I always feel a lot better after a good cry, espesh in similar circumstances IRL where I’m surrounded by the newborns of the covid baby boom my SIL was one of those and as much as our beautiful niece is a cutie it got abit hard at some points of her pregnancy as it was the sole focus of many conversations.. I found it got better when the baby was born so maybe that might be the same situation for you too? But your totally right you are not alone it’s shit situation to be in but you don’t have to face it alone, so many people are going through similar situations and it’s not that easy process as some make out, we are all proof of that on here 🥰

Just in my 15 min wait for second vaccine to pass time on here :D officially a graduate of the Pfizer club now all in time before our fertility clinic things so I can jump back on that waggon of TTC 🤩🤩

Minster2012 · 21/07/2021 12:31

@kaylsd allll of my clothes shrink after one wash... is that NOT meant to happen?! Yesss for second vaccine!

@Sunbird24 yeyyyy congratulations 🥰that's fab news!

@paintfairy shhhh you. No AF is good news for now 🤞🏻

@DKDK123 one if my SILs was like that with TTC number 2 saying "well we'll start trying in the new year as we'd like an October baby"...she got a baby 4th nov. This was before we had done the surrogacy so I was like oh great. Bitch.

@becarefuloutthere i think I'll be gardening forever! I'm looking forwards to ripping up these carpets. They are like a light sage green?? Sickly. But that's so exciting and boom on the mortgage sorting out too 🙌🏻

@larrythelizard what else did you expect?? 🤣

Dollybird89 · 21/07/2021 12:56

@paintfairy ... I won't say anything until you finished it ☺️🤐

Ltay2 · 21/07/2021 16:19

Hi everyone!! Missed loads of buses now but checking in to say hello and hope everyone's ok ❤️

My not so little chunk is doing so well now and growing like a weed despite his rocky start! He's just turned 4 months and is trying soooo hard to roll now but can't quite get it so gets very frustrated with himself 😂

Here I go again...TTC Bus 45 - blood sucking dungeons, whitesnake and angry cervixes all welcome...
Juno231 · 21/07/2021 16:37

@kaylsd @blackcurrantqueen it's these ones I love - www.marksandspencer.com/light-control-sheer-thigh-slimmer/p/clp60120171?gclid=CjwKCAjwi9-HBhACEiwAPzUhHM5ECAcvbDbBiIqWagROoG1Gjcr5mFpJKwhxWQZjp9lBhqPTQRW-ehoC_OwQAvD_BwE
There's another set called cool comfort something but I find the silky material on these ones nicer. It does zero in the shape wear dept though - just lovely to wear!

@paintfairy @Dollybird89 I still have season 2 to catch up on but it seems impossible with OH around.

@bez91 @DKDK123 @larrythelizard yay for the mfp crew! Bez I think I've just added you.

Kirky658 · 21/07/2021 16:52

@ltay2 what a gorgeous boy ❤️

lucyrp · 21/07/2021 17:09

Il reply properly later but scan today and baby measuring 6lb 15oz at 36+2 😳😳

paintfairy · 21/07/2021 17:24

@Minster2012 still sitting shushed in a corner. But I love your garden!
@Ltay2 awww he's gorgeous!
@Dollybird89 @Juno231 I've just watched episode 7 of season 3. But my DH won't watch it so I watch it alone too.
@bez91 wtf? How can she be a sleep consultant? Useless.
@lucyrp they are never right don't worry! 🤣

larrythelizard · 21/07/2021 17:52

I think I have a pair of those @Juno231 also think they're good and keep you cooler.

Finally been given some antibiotics for the sinus infection so hopefully I'll actually be better in a day or two.

Hmmm @Minster2012 maybe my clothes have shrunk in the wash instead of me getting fat?!

That's a great weight @lucyrp, although I do agree that they're never right!

I also watch virgin river alone
@lucyrp it's just guesswork
@DKDK123 in this house we call 7 am a lay in, 11 years later
@Minster2012 sage green carpets? with blue walls? lovely!
Let's hope it doesn't take me 3 hours to get home today, fucksake

2020mission · 21/07/2021 19:06

@Ltay2 4 months already?! Lovely photo! Great to hear all is well.

@Vil10 missed your post earlier about ANOTHER pregnant friend. You hold it together so well considering how many ladies around you seem to have pregnancy accidents/surprises. It's really tough to hear when struggling. Hopefully you can get your bloods done soon though, or already have for this month?

@becarefuloutthere have you still got the masks on the tube too? I vaguely remember hearing while England have dropped mask requirements, that's one place it's stuck? Well done on taking that journey 😅

Franklydear · 21/07/2021 19:13

@Ltay2 oh yes! Lovely boy!

Sunbird24 · 21/07/2021 20:08

Aww, gorgeous boy @Ltay2!

becarefuloutthere · 21/07/2021 20:10

@Kirky658 had to as needed a new laptop, wasn't too bad in the end! Remembered to remove the badge before going into the office 😅
@larrythelizard yeah it wasn't the funnest but needs must n all that. Forgot to bring water too 😳 but luckily it wasn't too bad!
@bez91 completion is due for September, hoping to find out this weekend when in September as surely they can tell us start, middle or end by now! Did I read you got a new job yeah? Well done 👏🏾
@Minster2012 eew they do sound sickly! Some ppl have bizarre taste!! Yep, close to exchange now, hopefully early August I reckon 🤞🏾
@Ltay2 well isn't he just a sight for sore eyes 🥰 absolute beaut!!
@2020mission yep still with masks just to add to the heat some more 🥵 but it wasn't too busy so less body heat helped matters! You getting on ok?

DKDK123 · 21/07/2021 20:25

@bez91 hope the sleep consultant gave you a refund for that rubbish advice 😂

@kaylsd I got this stuff off amazon for chub rub and its been great in this weather, I've manged to keep up my walking and my thighs are still in tact!

@Ltay2 what a wee cutie 😍

@lucyrp don't worry about the size, it'll be over with in 10mins right? 😂

@larrythelizard hopefully the antibiotics will finally shift the infection for you, seems like ages you've had it 😔

@franklydear yea 7am is considered luxury, it makes me think back to my pre child days and think what the hell did I do with all that free time that I didnt realise I had? 🤔😂

lucyrp · 21/07/2021 20:32

@paintfairy I know that but also... this baby is following the same pattern as DS so it probably is right 😳🙈

@larrythelizard they've gone from 5lb 9oz to 6lb 15oz in 2 weeks 😳😳

@DKDK123 well apparently the pushing part 😂🤣

Franklydear · 21/07/2021 20:49

@DKDK123 I slept, often past noon, or at least till 11 when on an afternoon shift🙈

Vil10 · 21/07/2021 21:24

@kaylsd I don't even blame you for having resting bitch face!! I don't even think I'd turn up to events anymore😂 Thankyou so so much lovely, and the same goes for you, it's so nice to know I have you all here no matter how many dicks there are in life❤️

@bez91 congratulations🥳

@Minster2012 back garden is amazing😍

@Sunbird24 amazing❤️

@DKDK123 you're right, I have been contemplating saying something, but I just don't know, I don't know if I'll regret it! Urghh if only we were all like your friend!! I'm the same, I love all my friends and their children but I feel jealous and it's awful feeling like that!! So sorry you felt so shit hun, keep your head up, you're doing amazing, sending hugs❤️

@Ltay2 such a gorgeous boy!!

@2020mission it is super annoying how I seem to be the only non fertile girl in all my friends😂 I have my bloods booked in for next Wednesday!! Still waiting on my swab results but hopefully they'll both come back quick!

Sorry I've been quiet again girls, me and OH started to feel the TTC pressure and stress and I got emotional with all the baby news, at the minute with people we know it would be easier to count the people who aren't pregnant, so we drove over the tops and parked up to watch the sunset over the windmills with a beer, and had a good chat about life, house situation etc, just what we needed!! Then had to go into work today, me just "nipping in to check on them" ended up being a 10 hour day, so in bed now watching love island ready for a day of dinner out and drinks with my mum and sister!

Vil10 · 21/07/2021 21:25

Sorry forgot to attach the pic from last night, for those who don't have me on Instagram

paintfairy · 21/07/2021 21:31

@Vil10 I saw it on Instagram and thought it looked amazing!
@lucyrp oh dear! But as @DKDK123 says - its only 10 minutes. 🤣

My rhr has dropped. 🙄 Definitely looking pretty hopeless over here.....

Minster2012 · 21/07/2021 22:04

Brief drop in before bed!

@Vil10 that's looks stunning and really pleased you had a good chat

@lucyrp you'll be finnnnneeeee don't worry!

@paintfairy hmmmm stay shushed I don't care bout RHR its 🐎club tomorrow'!

@Franklydear @becarefuloutthere I know right they had amazing taste. Not.

Such a ridiculous busy day here. I did all the tree clearing then moved ALL the logs. Loved the dumper I got really into it but was sweating from places I didn't know existed 🤣underboob sweat yup definitely that so I have rub hers too babes!

Did the scarecrows with next door (who is a builder) & we have the toilets & plant hire so we did a building scene!
