Just quickly logged on to say Hi from my hotel room! Didnt get round to saying goodbye yesterday as was too busy at work in the afternoon. Anyhow, have a good weekend and I will chat again on Monday. Oh and well done Cosmos, I always hate quitting but it is a good feeling when you have finally done it!!

BeMyLilBaby · 24/01/2008 16:07

oh playing how nice of you, have a fabbo time! cosmo hope you pop on tonight, like to hear how your doing

AS you can see im having probs staying away although boss in tomo so wont be able to go on till lunch actually feel panicked by that arg!!!

Just found out some fab news tho.. turns out my company do mat leave as 3 months at 100% x

BabyBump2B · 24/01/2008 19:28

Hi All!

NJ - you're not being nosy! I'm in Vancouver, Canada - about 8 hours behind you UK ladies so as you leave work I arrive!

BB - brill news about the mat leave! I'm shocked at how many companies here don't top up mat leave at all! Should have stayed and got knocked up in the UK!

Quiet day today so will check back in regularly!

NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 09:33

Good morning girlies

Playing, hope the celebrations are well under way

BB, That is good news about the ML. I will try to get back around 12-ish so you at least have some company

BB2B, when did you move over? We were looking at moving to Spain either later this year or early next year, but then I had the M/C and we decided that we'd rather have another baby instead! Will have to wait till kids are grown up now, small price to pay

Well, I am feeling a lot better, just have a straight forward cold now, without all the other stuff. But, DS1, DS2 and DH have a cold now, I HATE January's! I can honeslty say I think this has been the worst month going in my whole life. And I am not being OTT!

Teuch · 25/01/2008 10:28

Just calling in to say good morning all!

Having very frustrating day as I have ordered First Response tests online but ferries are off so no post !!

Am due AF today or tomorrow and been feeling a bit wierd...light-headed and sicky...but then that is the first symptom of about every bug going around here!!! Aarrrrgh!

I don't even think we actually timed things that well this month so the chances of BFP...well, not that good I would say!

But still...I would like mt tests...

Cosmogirl · 25/01/2008 11:04

Morning all,

Didn't get chance to come on last night - had DH cousin over for a lovely Malysian (sp?) curry (low fat but sooo scrummy) served with sugar snap peas, then we watched I am Legend.

Don't normally pop on during work but I'm working my notice so what's the worst that can happen?.............

BB - fab news about maternity pay. Looks like you are onto a winner there.

Feeling good about leaving, just wish I could go now! I have posted a question in 'Employment' about my notice period and holiday, so if anyone is knowledgeable about that stuff, please take a look and give me your thoughts.

Anyway, best go and do something I suppose . Laters.

NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 11:55

Hello

Teuch, so where do you live if you rely on ferries.... I am so sorry, I am being so nosy on this thread! LOL Do you not have any shop's that sell HPT's at all? (Is it a VERY remote Scottish Isle or something?!!)

Cosmo, oooooooo I see handing in notice = attitude young lady!!! I am Legend, we watched it a couple of weeks back, it is the best film we have seen for years! Help's a lot that WS is in it! I cried my eyes out when the dog died LOL

Will go and see your thread, I know more about that side of things than ML, so will try to help

Teuch · 25/01/2008 11:59

even if the local shop did sell HPT's there is no way you would ever succumb to that kind of local speculaion!!!

Yes, West Coast Scottish island , currently getting absolutely blattered by wind and rain

NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 12:10

LOL Can't believe I got that right LOL

I know what you mean about the wind and rain, I have just said on another thread, I am waiting for our old garden fence to blow down, it has been on it's last legs for years, if it stays put I will go and give it a loving stroke later tonight! We live on a mountain, and we have had a lot of bad wind before but last night and today is something else! Have never seen it this bad before.

BeMyLilBaby · 25/01/2008 12:16

well not gloating but...its quite sunny here! i made it to lunch time today too just x

NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 12:23

LOL Well done!!! We did have about half an hour's worth of blue sky yesterday before it went dark

Cosmogirl · 25/01/2008 12:30

NJ - forget the dog - how fit does Will Smith look in that movie? Boy has been working out!!

BB - I am very proud you made it to lunchtime. Imagine what we are going to me like when we are on maternity leave...!

NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 12:33

LMAO, he is HOT!

...just don't tell my DH I said that Actually, I think he knows....

BeMyLilBaby · 25/01/2008 12:38

WS is most definately a hottie, oh how i lust after him! i plan to have MN permanently running on ML he he i wont miss anything

NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 12:40

I don't think I have turned MN off since Christmas, even if I'm not sat here it is on in the back ground

That is quite bad actually.... oh well

BeMyLilBaby · 25/01/2008 17:25

WEll its nearly the weekend, wont be able to get on tillmonday so...

wish me luck with DIY and all have a fab weekend cant wait to hear what you all got up to< hope edinburgh was fun playing xx

BabyBump2B · 25/01/2008 18:49

Just checking in to say hi! Am off to a mountain cottage for the weekend with two other couples - one with a 2 month old and the other 4.5 months pg. Wondering if it will rub off on me!

Have great weekends everyone...

See you Monday!

Cosmogirl · 25/01/2008 21:11

Evening all,

Well boy am I glad that it is Friday. All this job stuff has been stressful and I am so looking forward to starting the new job in a few week's time and getting into my new routine.
Feeling pretty broody today....with the job stuff haven't thought about it much, but today it seemed to come back with avengence (sp?). I am still surprised by how strong a woman's desire to have children is. Despite all the horror birthing shows I've seen, I still want to go through it..... Weird . Anyway, sorry for just emptying the contents of my head there! Have good weekends everyone, it'll be Monday before we know it.

Diege · 25/01/2008 22:11

Just popping on to say hi - have been in London for a few days with work, and just got home tonight . Will read through and catch up tomorrow you chatty lot

NatalieJane · 26/01/2008 09:05

BB, good luck with the DIY
BB2B, of the mountain cottage... sounds so romantic Have a lovely time
Cosmo, it won't be long before you have finished work, having your pampering few days and then starting the new job, it is only a few weeks Can't help with the broodyness, I went through some of the birth announcements looking at the baby photo's yesterday - does that make me a bit freaky??? It didn't help with the broodiness thing anyway!
Diege, I think we have been quite chatty considering we haven't really got to the point of TTC, where all the 'what cd are you on?' 'we'll be cycle buddies' 'when's AF due?' 'I am OV'ing and we had sex last night' 'I have 23 days till my AF is due, but I am feeling sick, need a wee all the time, boobs ache, blah blah blah....' kicks in It will happen y'know, someone the day after their AF has finished will declare they are deffo pregnant because.... we can't help ourselves All part of the fun of it I say

Only 5 days left till the end of the month, well 5 days till the last day of the month, which is when we get paid, so might as well be the end of the month, whoooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooo January is nearly over

Diege · 26/01/2008 10:06

NATALIEJANE you are responsible for spluttered coffee all over the keyboard . That is sooo true about ttc chat..the worst I find is when af has obviosuly started but (after several boxes of superplus tampax)what's the chance that it 'might be an implantation bleed'...too crule, sorry Remind me of this when it's my turn! BB2B, have a wonderful time - it all sounds blissful . Any news TEUCH on the pregnancy test hunt?
Well, have been paid here, but of course it's all gone in paying off the excess of christmas, so roll on Feb paypacket

Diege · 26/01/2008 10:07

That spelling is appalling . I must learn to press 'preview'!

Cosmogirl · 26/01/2008 10:12

I am looking forward to Feb - hoping it brings some better weather with it too. Jan has been pretty good though, what with the new job etc...has been a nice start to 2008. Just bit freaked by how quick the time is going already! Ekk

NatalieJane · 26/01/2008 10:33

OK, Firstly sorry about your keyboard

Secondly, I say we should make this a thread where anything goes nothing is too crude or TMI!!!

Jeez, we are grown woman who will (at some point) be discussing exactly, in detail, what has come out of our fanjo's, what has gone in our fanjo's, and god alone knows else. I get fed up of typing TMI!! And, besides, when you end up with a labour thread like my last one, it is all a bit previous to be worried about TMI!!! LOL Though I am gracious enough that my labour threads still do make me

Jan has been pretty shit for us, I had the MC, then all of us have/are poorly with colds and bugs, wobbly teeth, infected gums from DS2 headbutting DH, arghhhh the list goes on. And for me, January has lasted for about 2 years already! Roll on Feb so I can stop moaning!

Diege · 26/01/2008 10:58

LOL NJ, I actually (tried to type)too CRUEL, not crude (nothing is too crude for me )so yes, all for every detail of fanjo-ness
