@MamaSJ15 the property market is literally at an all time high, even in Northern Ireland 😩 You're in Wales? Sounds so lovely 🥰

MamaSJ15 · 02/08/2022 22:11

@MrsCristiano yeah, North Wales 😊 it is beautiful.

MrsCristiano · 02/08/2022 22:30

@MamaSJ15 I'm going to rant. Forgive me. Literally the worst day EVER today. I thought I had it sussed taking a part time role then I got promoted to manager on a mainly 4 day week. Which means all staff issues are my problem 😪 my head is literally on a meltdown and I don't feel quite right. Unsure whether it's possible pregnancy or stress related. Obviously stress related at 5dpo I'm off tomorrow thank god 🙌. Hopefully will recharge my batteries and getting DDs hair cut too. I dont like it!! We didn't manage to DTD close to peak either so I'm sad about that 😕. Glad you caught your peak in the end. When you catch it it's so obvious and satisfying Xx

MamaSJ15 · 03/08/2022 07:06

@MrsCristiano I'm sorry you feel like that, it's crap when you have a bad day at work. I hope you manage a nice break today and try to forget about work for a bit 😊 how are you feeling today? How close to your peak did you DTD? If you're within 5 days then you're still in with a pretty decent shot!
I've got a meeting with my boss today about me cutting hours from September but I can guarantee its not gonna happen especially as someone has just handed in their notice which means more responsibility is put on me ... Again!

Tropicana1 · 03/08/2022 07:33

@MrsCristiano ah sorry about your work frustration - I've got holiday days of the week madness, was about to tell you to enjoy your long weekend and recharge 🤣

@MrsCristiano sorry you had a rough day yesterday! Hopefully a better one today. And will be amazing if you can put the 'out of sorts' feeling down to pregnancy!
@MamaSJ15 oh gosh that sounds heavenly! I adore north Wales and a sea view sounds bliss, hope you get it!!
@Tropicana1 hope you're having a lovely, stress free holiday 😍

MrsCristiano · 03/08/2022 11:26

@alwaysseeingstars @Tropicana1 @MamaSJ15 thanks ladies. Work is just work but I hate the management part. We DTD O-3 and O-4 so hoping his swimmers last that long😅 3 day weekend coming up so yay about that!! I'll be peeing on all the sticks 😅

alwaysseeingstars · 03/08/2022 11:43

@MrsCristiano I hear you on the management part, definitely my least fave part of the job! Keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

MrsCristiano · 03/08/2022 12:32

No peeing on anything till Sunday now. Have to work Saturday extra 😭

MamaSJ15 · 03/08/2022 13:13

@alwaysseeingstars thank you, hoping to hear today/tomorrow 🤞

@MrsCristiano oh no! How rubbish. What kind of work do you do?

MrsCristiano · 03/08/2022 13:38

@MamaSJ15 pharmacist now a manager pharmacist. For however long that lasts 😅

MamaSJ15 · 03/08/2022 13:53

@MrsCristiano ah right okay. Shame about you having to work the weekend though. I'm an accountant so work mon-fri.

MrsCristiano · 03/08/2022 13:57

@MamaSJ15 so jealous! But I get 20% off vitamins and pregnancy tests which would be well and good but we don't stock FRER 🤣 just the digital weeks ones which are a disaster for early testing 😩

alwaysseeingstars · 03/08/2022 16:01

@MrsCristiano as a manager can you tweak the stock order? 😂

MrsCristiano · 03/08/2022 16:14

@alwaysseeingstars if only.. we have a buyer who has a meltdown every time someone orders something NOT ON HIS LIST. I technically could but am I prepared to have a ttc convo with him? He has four kids under 5 and complains about them daily 🙄 he actually goes out of his way to tell people how much he hates fatherhood. I literally hate him! Use contraception you idiot if you don't want children. Also he's a pharmacist so technically should know better. Sorry rant over. Again. 🙈

Tropicana1 · 03/08/2022 16:18

@MrsCristiano 🤣😭🤣 he sounds a nightmare! I'm a vet so also work weekends.

After all my "I'm on holiday, so relaxed not even thinking about the tww" bullshit here I am at 5dpo with some mild cramping Googling when does implantation typically occur 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ (disclaimer, it is not 5dpo 😂)

OP posts:
MrsCristiano · 03/08/2022 16:19

@alwaysseeingstars they actually don't allow him near customers. He sits in an office checking prices all day 😂

MrsCristiano · 03/08/2022 16:25

@Tropicana1 yep! I googled that myself yesterday 😂 weekend work is part of the job unfortunately 🤷‍♀️

He has a little girl, a little boy and twins. He does not have a nice way with him 😡

alwaysseeingstars · 03/08/2022 16:49

@MrsCristiano haha oh wow!! That is awful. Maybe not the best person to have the TTC chat with then 😂
@MrsCristiano @Tropicana1 Not trying to raise hopes but my implantation must've been no later than 5dpo, went through it all with the doc yesterday when I had an appointment and she agreed - and said it certainly does happen at 4/5dpo (just not the norm)

Tropicana1 · 03/08/2022 18:41

@alwaysseeingstars don't, I'm now sat here with a glass of Prosecco and no access to pregnancy tests 🤣

OP posts:
Tropicana1 · 03/08/2022 18:42

@MrsCristiano I would love to be able to give up the weekend work 🤣 fair weather vet haha

OP posts:
alwaysseeingstars · 03/08/2022 18:45

@Tropicana1 just enjoy your holiday, sounds bliss 🥰

MrsCristiano · 03/08/2022 18:47

@Tropicana1 haha thing is I worked last Saturday I'm covering for a pharmacist with covid 🙄 ah well it'll save me thinking about pregnancy tests 🤣

Tropicana1 · 03/08/2022 18:50

@MrsCristiano Ughh that is the worst - doing your own weekends is bad enough without having to cover someone else's 😂

@alwaysseeingstars it is so lovely! First abroad holiday since 2019!!

@MrsCristiano my turn for a rant... That flat we went to see yesterday, we absolutely loved it and I specifically asked the landlord before going if it was suitable for a child he said it would be okay. They've just changed the advert to now up the rent and says not suitable for families/children. DH is absolutely fuming! Why say yes then change your mind later, they've not even contacted us to tell us.
