@curliegirlie ahh looks fabulous!! I've heard Malta is great for the wee ones 🥰 the bin..omg the love/hate relationship me and DH have with it. I love it, he doesn't 😂 it's called 'simplehuman' tbh it's a bit pricey but it's lush no bin bags visible

@bringmearainbow ooh how many dpo? I'm never testing again am so sick to death of dodgy lines. Although that's just me..good luck😘 (you're still early though?)

LuckyMoonstone · 06/04/2023 21:15

@curliegirlie glad you had an amazing time, I’d love to go to Malta

bunnykins123 · 06/04/2023 22:33

@MrsJGrealish ...totally googled the bin!

@curliegirlie looks amazing, I love Malta! Did you go to Gozo?

MrsJGrealish · 06/04/2023 22:51

@bunnykins123 I knew someone would...it's not the £230 model😂😂 what has my life become. Cold and bin obsessed 🤣 how are you feeling? Xx

TheBirdintheCave · 06/04/2023 23:21

@curliegirlie Glad you had a wonderful time! My parents enjoyed Malta in the 70s. Bet it's changed a lot since then!

@MrsJGrealish yes I'm only 7dpo hence I knew it would be BFN 😂

bunnykins123 · 07/04/2023 07:28

@bringmearainbow 7dpo is super early. I actually don't think I know of anyone on here who got a bfp that early even with early testing. Do you think you have the will power to hold off for a few more days?

@MrsJGrealish better - but not completely right. Can't seem to shift this bloody cough and I'm still snotty. Are you feeling any better?

bringmearainbow · 07/04/2023 07:42

@bunnykins123 I knew it would be negative I didn't even think it would possibly be positive 😂 I have a whole load of IC so thought why not 🤷🏼‍♀️ I will no doubt have zero willpower that has gone out the window now I've started but DH is around every morning for the rest of the weekend so I might not have any choice in not testing 😂

TheBirdintheCave · 07/04/2023 10:24

Potty training going ok so far! G did his regular poop in the potty when he got up but then surprised us by spontaneously doing a wee in the downstairs potty when we came down for breakfast. I was shocked! I'm going to run out of dinosaur stickers at this rate 😂

MrsJGrealish · 07/04/2023 11:42

@bringmearainbow well I'd say it's looking good 😊 Nobody wants a positive at 7dpo and then you're left a week driving yourself mad.

@bunnykins123 no cough thankfully but still very phlegmy and hoping I can make it through today without going for a nap 😅 some weirdo bug this

FfoxRedN · 07/04/2023 11:44

@bringmearainbow plenty of time to turn that into a BFP yet!!! Have you be temping?

@MrsJGrealish I love SimpleHuman stuff, they're so expensive but it's like buying an M&S ready meal...you get what you pay for 🥰. Glad you've matchy matched with the other one too 🤣🤣.

@curliegirlie the pics of Malta look amazing, always been on my to do list!

I get the time struggles, it's depressing to think I'm in the same position now as I was Dec 19 🙄. This one better work out!!!

MrsJGrealish · 07/04/2023 11:58

@FfoxRedN I just wish I'd taken a pic of DH face when he unpacked it 🤣

DS1 was like why did u order the compost bin, dad didn't like the main bin? For that very reason son 😂 (and it's nice)

It'll be the same with the holiday in May. Last holiday there were too many stairs and it wasn't close enough to the town. But he won't get involved in the booking/buying process 🙄

Lol rant over good. Happy Easter everyone!! 😊

bringmearainbow · 07/04/2023 13:58

@TheBirdintheCave ahhh that's amazing lovely lol I'll remember that when I do it get lots of stickers 😂

@MrsJGrealish no I know they don't I just couldn't help myself 🙈

@FfoxRedN let hope it does 🤞🏼 I have been temping but only on my watch. I did bbt a few days before and a few days after but only to confirm it happened. Watch has been high but mine doesn't normally drop until CD2 🙄 so pretty useless at telling AF is coming 😂

MrsJGrealish · 07/04/2023 15:16

@TheBirdintheCave wee G is a superstar 💙 the horror of potty training is blocked from my memory 🙈

TheBirdintheCave · 07/04/2023 18:26

@bringmearainbow They've been really helpful. He's quite excited to use his chart :)

@MrsJGrealish Where are you going on holiday?

G is still smashing it 😬 We were feeling quite confident this afternoon so put some trousers on him and went to the park. He happily sat on the toilet for a wee before we left. All totally fine on our walk and at the park. No accidents so far. I really wasn't expecting it to go this well 😂

LuckyMoonstone · 07/04/2023 19:09

@TheBirdintheCave oh wow he is doing so good! I can’t imagine DS being like that now

MrsJGrealish · 07/04/2023 19:10

@TheBirdintheCave Portugal end of May x no doubt there will be many steps involved 🙄 ngl we nearly split up at the arrival of the compost bin today. Size is an issue for men too apparently 🤣🤣🤯

bringmearainbow · 08/04/2023 07:52

DS has got the worst conjunctivitis he has ever had one of his eyes is almost swollen shut poor boy

bunnykins123 · 08/04/2023 09:35

@bringmearainbow we had that a few weeks ago, seems to be massively doing the rounds (along with everything else!) You have my sympathy, I hope it clears up soon 💕

Alexis7890 · 08/04/2023 09:45

@bringmearainbow aww I hope he’s better soon! are you doing more tests over the weekend?

@FfoxRedN how are you getting on? Hope everything is going well!!

@LuckyMoonstone thank you, please get excited for me, I wish I could feel excited but currently just almost waiting for something to go wrong

cyclogest stops today according to my consultant 2 weeks would be plenty and stopping it now wont cause any problems if everything is healthy and progressing properly

hope everyone is enjoying Easter weekend and the sunshine that’s come with it

Indianna2006 · 08/04/2023 10:07

@bringmearainbow oh bless him try get him some drops from a pharmacist maybe. It’s not fun!

Jealous of all these summer getaways. I can’t wait for summer and se hot weather! We won’t go abroad this year. Just probably local U.K. place for DD to “think” she’s on holiday.

@TheBirdintheCave Sounds like he’s doing so well with potty training. It’s soo much nicer when they just use the toilet. 😊

Have a lovely Easter everyone! 🐣🐥

bringmearainbow · 08/04/2023 10:19

@bunnykins123 it seems to be a reoccurring thing for him which is just irritating. He seems to get a snotty nose when he's teething then he must wipe some snot in that general direction and boom conjunctivitis 🙄

@Alexis7890 thanks lovely. How are your tests looking? I did one this morning but BFN which at 8dpo is not wholly unsurprising 😂 I think if it's still bfn at 10dpo I'll start to feel disappointed but for now it's ok

@Indianna2006 I went to the two I could find open yesterday and both had none apparently there's a shortage 🙄 one is hopefully getting some today 🤞🏼 so atm all I can do is bathe it in water. We need to book our summer holiday I can't wait to get away

Alexis7890 · 08/04/2023 11:19

@bringmearainbow today is actual test day and did a clear blue digital which said pregnant 1-2 so I’m hoping it’ll change to 2-3 in the next couple of days. Are you going to test every day now?

the holidays all sound great, I’m hoping we’ll get to go abroad but not sure it’ll happen, will depend if this lasts or if ivf is needed

LuckyMoonstone · 08/04/2023 11:28

@Alexis7890 I am still feeling super hopeful for you especially now you’ve done a digital 😁

bringmearainbow · 08/04/2023 11:33

@Alexis7890 oh yay that's awesome 😍 I'm so pleased for you and also like @LuckyMoonstone very hopeful 🤞🏼

If I get the chance to I will. I was lucky this morning DH popped into his office to do a bit of work so managed to do a sneaky test but I might not be so lucky tomorrow or Monday
