3catstoo - Over here!!!

[Ready]

Your very own thread

Hi lottie, seaside, Ready and 3cats I hope you're all having a good start to the week!

Dh is back from holiday so I am a happy bunny

Lottie how are you? What's new in your world?

Ready I want some of your cherry brandy or some oaky white wine... but I will have to wait I expect I am a big lightweight! Any news on your job start date?

3cats how are things with dh now? How's the sewing? I am feeling guilty I haven't started to learn useful kiddie creative skills...

Seaside we think our bump (we call Rice is blue, but are only guessing) I am glad I am not the only lopsided bunny. It is sitting on my bladder today TMI I know. I hope I can persuade it to move.

Ah 3cats missed your post. That's great news... well not the bit about the packed bags. Fingers crossed for the end of the week Big hugs to you too

Seaside, lovely to see you. Hope all is well I think I owe you an email... will do soon.

3cats, wow, packed bags! Glad things are looking up, bizarrely sometimes it takes a shock to bring people back together. Hope you are doing well?

City, next time I have some cherry brandy, I will do so, in your honour ... still no start date yet, I personally think I should get a medal for my patience. I would swear right now, but I won't lower the tone

Lottie I don't mind you following me about, just let me eat my bread without making me feel guilty won't you

Ready, I used to drink cherry brandy - it's yummy. I haven't had any for years

Yes. It's lush isn't it!!

How's the weather for everyone? It is gorgeous here!!

I have just spent the last 20 minutes staring out of my bedroom window at all the birds in my garden... I counted 9 at one point ... I have got a birdfeeder and there is a blackbird family nesting in one of our shrubs. And some sparrows at the end of the garden. Think I need a baby. Desperately

Weather is good here too Ready. Hope it stays for the weekend.

Staring out of the window is cool, good for you. We look out onto some large trees and I often stand in the window watching the squirrels jumping about. I could look out of the window for hours.

Well amazingly DH has continued his attention giving even though it's 'peak' time and no reaching for the drawer. I thhink maybe he's forgotten what time of month it is. I could be totally wrong though about timing as my cycle has gone from 25 days one month to 31 days the next month. Who knows where I am now.

3cats, that actually sounds like the best place to be, just enjoying each other without thinking about what day of cycle you are on.
Oooh I love squirrels, at the house we sold last year, there was a little squirrel that used to come and bury things in our garden. I loved watching him whilst we ate breakfast.
I bought a huge bag of seed for the birds in my garden, and I even went on the rspb website last night to see what birds have been visiting

Hi naturists bird spotters

We don't have a garden but I can watch the seaguls eat eels in the river

I hope things continue along their path 3cats. Ready it sounds very pretty where you are. It would be nice sometimes if the weather here was good!

I am putting off going to bed as we're sleeping on the floor! Nesting has got a bit out of control and the carpet man is coming tomorrow to do both bedrooms

Dh is back from holiday and has promised to sort some new photos out. I'll have a crack at it tomorrow!

Hope the bedrooms are suitably fluffed today City, and you are back in your proper bed, and not on the floor, tonight
I quite like the sound of watching the seagulls eating eels ... our garden is quite nice, there are lots of birds, but our last garden was better, and I really miss it, actually.
Still waiting on a start date, hoping next week will be fruitful in that area.
Hope you are both well

Hey guys... yes the carpet is in and we are sitting down in a tidy flat for the first time We're watching the marathon run up our road tomorrow.

Worried tonight as my sister in law (34 weeks pg) may be admitted to give birth next week due to slow growth issues. There's little we can do other than wait

Fingers crossed for your job Ready. I bet once you're busy you'll be craving the time at home! Make sure you do all those appoinmenty beauty etc things you can't get done in the office!

3cats how are things? Hope you're doing ok

Oh no City Sorry to hear that, hope everything works out ok for them.
Yes, I am getting everything done while I have the time. Reflexology appointment tomorrow.
A friend of ours did the marathon today, well, suspect he is still running now.

Reflexology sounds cool I'd like to try that.

Yes hopefully SIL will be ok she's in good hands.

I hope your friend finished ok. We saw some runners in difficultly with the rain

Now the flat is sorted I am just focusing on trying to learn as much as possible in the next 3 months. Surprisingly hard when you can't practice

oops crashed

I am certain you will be like a duck to water City, don't fret - just read plenty so you feel like you are up to speed on everything.
Reflexology was good, she said that my feet were yellow and apparently that means that I am "totally fed up. Resentful, indignant and displeased. Have a jaundiced view of life" I'd say that pretty much sums me up

thanks Ready your support is very encouraging I am glad your session went well... I wonder if my feet will tell how much I hate my job!

I hope your new job is good. How is your dh getting along. Mine is sulking after Chelsea gave a late goal away. I had to console him with beer

3cats are you ok? Hope all is well

Right off to cheer up grumpy.

Straight away I said "I bet Fergie sent a vintage bottle to Bruce for that result" - I was gutted with footie the day before. Not a good couple of days for us football fans huh!
I just know you will be a brilliant mum City, you waited long enough to find out huh

3cats where are you chick!!! Hope you are ok?

Hi Ladies,

Just a brief visit. DH is home doing DIY this week. The house is in chaos. Hopefully will be worth it in the end.

Had a bit of a breakthrough with DH deciding that he won't use condoms or avoid me when he thinks the time is right .

Might not work as we have tried for over a year at the right time but at least we are getting on and more relaxed now.

I think what has happened has strengthened our relationship.

Hugs to you both.

xxx

That's great news 3cats, all of it. The strengthening and the breakthrough on the contraception side of things. Oh, and mustn't forget the diy I hope that you feel happy and in turn relaxed, you will probably conceive just as soon as you relax and stop thinking about it.

3cats that's really good news I was getting worried about you

I hope you're feeling a happy spring bunny

Hey Ready not long now until new job right? I hope they are a nice bunch and better than my lot How long till holiday?

I'm doing ok. The wait in between appointments is hard and getting me down. I worry a bit too much. Hopefully all is ok

City, I'm sure everything will be fine. The wait always seems like a long time between appts. As long as you are feeling baby move daily that's a good sign. (although not always when you want them to move - usually in the middle of the night in my experience ).

Ready, how long until work starts?

thanks 3cats I had more luck today with movement so fingers crossed. And my SIL didn't have to have hers early as the scan went better so more waiting

I hope you are doing well

Ready how goes it? Any more fun wildlife in your garden? I am watching a swan night fishing in mine!

Hey ladies? I am not getting my hopes up or anything, but the last few days I have had nausea and light-headedness in the mornings? too early to be pregnancy symptoms, and suspect it is my blocked ears causing me to go off balance and feel queasy. Teeny part of me hopes that it might just be more than that. Hey ho.

The birds here hate me today, as we stayed away over night and I forgot to fill the bird feeder before we left, and when we got home it was empty ? and I am too lazy to go and fill it now (it is cold) ? a pigeon has been wandering around the garden looking forlornly up at the window

City, of you watching a night-fishing swan ? how very regal
Oooh. Movement Is it a totally bizarre feeling? I imagine it would feel wonderful
Sorry to hear that your lot at work are not a lovely bunch ? are they all men? I met the woman I will be working with at my interview, and she seemed really lovely, so we shall see.

3cats, haven?t got a firm start date ? still!! How?s the diy coming along at the house? And how is your sewing? I am almost half way through knitting my cushion cover, and I bought a new beginners guide yesterday, really enjoying it!

Apparently, the only thing that is holding the clearance now is my ?husband?s foreign connections? ? now I could understand if they were from the middle east, but they are Canadian ffs

Oh... and 6 weeks til the hol - woo. Cannot wait!!

Oh Ready I really hope so... when can you test. Big hugs either way. I got the little one to cross all its fingers and toes in hopefullness ;)

It sounds regal but in reality the poor swan was wading through rubbish that leaked out of the marina

Its the men at work that wind me up, but then I worked with a lovely bunch of men in my last role. So I think its just the pick of the bunch.

You and 3cats sound very creative I shall have to step it up a bit. I am guilty of buying creative books but not opening them

My dh was away in Canada skiing. He really liked it. He even brought back a Canadian baby grow oh and some yummy maple syrup my naughty ice cream treat.

You must be very excited about hols. I think 3cats and I should go somewhere each for the day and pretend we're with you on the beach!
