3catstoo - Over here!!!

[Ready]

Your very own thread

The vegetarian shepherds pie was not great. Not that I cooked it wrong, just that it wasn't a patch on proper lamb mince so think that the less-meat drive might not last very long

How are you both? I am still waiting for CD1, lots of crampy niggly sensations, which is normal for me, pre-men. So not optimistic. But hoping I am wrong

Fingers crossed honey

Is anyone else fed up with all this rain. Is it too early to be looking forward to summer or holiday? I just want to be outside on a balmy summers day reading the paper drinking a large glass of white wine..... heyho

Any news Ready?

How did the veggie shepherds pie go? What did you put in it?
If you like beans and lentils Delia does a great shepherds pie recipe in her veggie book (has goats cheese mash which does it for me).

Not really sure about the current situation.
I'm not cheating on DH (as such) but might as well be. It's more text teasing going on with a male friend (who is a bit of a b*d, well a huge one actually!).
I'm not doing the teasing. I think it's just cheap thrills on his part. I just haven't told him to bugger off (that's what's out of character). It won't come to anymore than this but still naughty I know.
Had I not been feeling so cp about myself and if DH had been paying me more attention, I would not have responded. I was flattered and excited .

Dangerous, I know.

Fingers crossed for you.
No idea what day I'm on. Must look it up. As we're only bding at the weekends it's very unlikely to result in anything. Not stressed about it though. I think the other stress has taken my mind off ttc .

Sorry, I was on the wrong page, so missed the post about the shepherds pie not being good.

I don't actually mind the rain City but I am hankering after a holiday somewhere warm, but that's more cos I haven't had one for 3 years.

3cats, the shepherds pie was beans and carrots and parsnips - it wasn't overly tasty - the topping was the best bit Hope you are ok? Sounds like you are dealing with some confusing emotions at the moment.

I am useless today, all I can think about is why my period hasn't arrived yet, despite strong twinges. Confused.

Sounds promising Ready.

fingers crossed Ready big hugs either way as tomorrow is Monday and nobody likes Monday's still you like the rain so maybe you're a big wet Monday fan!

3catsoo you naughty bunny! still sounds like you're in control I hope things get better with dh

Right off to bed soo tired

Hi City.

Yes feeling very naughty, but enjoying the attention. I feel like a teenager again!

Ready, I hope you are OK. AS City says, Hugs either way.

Tested this morning. BFN. But still on CD32. Time will tell. But realistically, if the cramps I am feeling were pg related then surely there would be enough hormone detectable for a test? So looks like the game is up.

Sorry Ready. Still crossing my fingers though, as you say time will tell.

Huge Hugs.

Oh Ready I hope it works out xxx

Doesn't feel like this is meant to be my month somehow. Oh well.

oh i see!!!!!!!!!!! if i ever want to see what old 3 cats is up to i have to find her own personal thread do i????!!!!!

just thought i would check up on you..........and your chart spotters thread was SO far down the list!!!!!!!!

hope dh is obliging this month 3cats!!!

you asked what it is like with 3..............well......you should know!!! why didnt you warn me hey!!!!

actually its great, but ds (my eldest) has just started in reception and nobody ever told me he would change from an angelic little boy into a complete looney as soon as he got in from school!!!.......is that normal??? its REALLY doing my head in!!!!

my little marcy is a superstar....most chilled baby in the world..............kind of makes me want another (i can see why you do)......just to see what they would be like!!!

take care and i will probably nose in from time to time if thats ok?

Hi Greedy. I'm with you on the school front. Mine all went loopy. I think school gets the best of them and unfortunately we are left with the tired, hungry grotbags!

Glad Marcy is being a totally chilled third baby.

My third is due to start school this year. 8 months to go! I'm dreading it. She is probably my last so I will have to move onto pastures new.....

Had a huge row with DH tonight. He told me that I should be putting my £500 a yeat earnings towards the new bathroom!!!!!!
That's all I earn compared to his £60,000. Damn cheek. All because I spent some of it on me, hair straighteners actually.

We both need to calm down now.

Night night.

oooooh hair straighteners... tell me you got ghds 3cats they are the best sorry you had a row with dh

waving at greedy, hope all is well looked at your profile - what adorable children you have Marcy looks as cute as a button, pmsl at the elvis pic

Well. Still no news from me. Temp dip but still no period. CD33, unheard of, no clue anymore. Tut.

Hi Ready. Very strange that you are non the wiser. Have you done another test?

Yes, I got GHDs. They arrived today and I now have very straight hair . DH will be so pleased (not).

Every girls needs ghds Enjoy them
Nope, not tested today because I got a massive dip in temp and presumed that the game was up. Tomorrow then.

CD1 of cycle number 18 for me today. Gutted

Oh so sorry Ready .
Many many hugs from me to you.
AF is so mean delaying like that.

Ready that's really tough... big hugs from me
That's really hard to be late and get AF

I can't think of anything particularly cheery upy, but hope you and dh have a chilled out time maybe some wine, cheese and a hug.. hang in there

I hope you've patched things up 3catstoo is your hair looking nice?

Not much new with me. dh and I were in the evening standard paper today random article + dodgy photo... one to laugh at!

cried at work yesterday (dead embarassing)

dh is cooking steak tonight and hoping Chelsea win so we can go to Wembley and thump Spurs...

3catstoo I am so sorry to gatecrash like this but spotted your name on the title of the thread - am not a stalker, don't worry !
I have been searching the archives for info on pre-AF spotting and found a thread from 2 years ago where you were going to see the doctor about having several days of spotting before AF. I have been having this too (between 5 and 6 days of spotting from 10dpo) and just wondered what the outcome was for you ?
Sorry again for butting in

Mibbes, you are not butting in, I'm sure 3cats won't mind

How are you 3cats? and City

I am feeling a little better than yesterday. Had my interview... fingers crossed

Glad you're feeling a bit better Ready
Good luck with the interview

Hello Mibbles Hope we can help.
I don't have any personal experience but sounds like they should do some hormone tests at different times of the month?

I am ok, bumbling along... always look forward to catching up in here.

PS: Just to let you know Seaside and MrsMC had their babies

Oooh City, I knew that Seaside had her boy, Fettle told me, but oooh MrsMc what did she have? Send my love won't you.

I wasn't great in my interview today, I felt as if I was a bit waffley (what's new!) but time will tell

So are you glowing?

MrsMC had a boy 'Xavier was born at 5.10pm weighing 7lbs 8oz'

Sadly I am not glowing... my skin is awful I cried at work in front of my boss (very ) but I am not complaining...

Don't worry about waffling, at least you didn't clam up. If they don't want you they're not worth it and something better will come along!
