Temping Buddies 11 - The Vita West Appreciation Society - Springing into BFP's!!

[fym]

Hi All

Thought I start the new thread before we ran out of space on the old one!

Hopefully good old Vita (Zita!!) will sprinkle some babydust on us all...

................................

Hairy - everyone welcome here. The #1ers have a special thread to moan about greedy women taking our share of the children .

Despite my despondancy(sp?) I am proud to say I have got over my fear of pregnancy announcements. Low point was bursting into tears when my best friend told me she was pregnant - which then meant she kept almost apologising about how happy she was all the way through . Baby is now 3 months old and she is too knackered to care at the moment.

There has been a huge black cloud over my building all morning - hopefully I'm just getting negative vibes from it at the moment. Course might be PMT kicking in at 5dpo

here is my first chart of temps any comments ladies on when you think i ovualted?

I tried a hypno CD last year
"Creating Inner Peace and Calm" by Glenn Harrold. Two main problems 1. His voice was ridiculous 2. No matter how hard I try to empty my mind and listen to the cd as soon as I stop concentrating I found myself ignoring what he is saying and thinking about next week's shopping list or whether I can get away with leaving the ironing for another night.

I've actually been to hypnotherapists before as well and had the same problem. My brain won't let me be be 'hyypnotised' - it just jeeps jabbering incessantly. It's like a subconcious version of putting your hands over your ears and going 'la la la'

I'm not a 'kit your own muesli' hippy by the wa y - far from it. Just really liked the idea of achieving inner peace and calm, as opposed to inner angst and chaos

Welcome tink Hairy I hope we didn't give the impression that we were all bitter and unwelcoming towards those that have children. You don't have to be a first time TTCer to be a temp buddy! Although I feel slightly like a fraud saying that as I'm a newbie here too!

Rattling I'd love to learn your secret for handling pregnancy announcements! I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself as I've not had one breakdown yet in public. It's at home that I'm not the bravest - poor DH is the one who bears the brunt!

PrePG - I really hope you never develop my technique. It's basically dealing with it for 2 1/2 years - at about 20 months I found I needed to be happy that babies were coming into my life somehow. Not quite the same but have a very close group of friends, I do picture myself celebrating many birthdays, first steps, exam results, graduations, marriages and even more children.

Lottie - forgot to mention that you made me giggle with your plans to complain about the loss of 8 minutes of relaxation CD. Maybe that's a test - when you get in contact they'll know you need some serious work and swap it for the hard-core version

Okay lottie I changed my temps to reflect getting up an hour early for every day this week by adding .1 degree as you mentioned and it does in fact make for a MUCH prettier chart ie clear O date and coverline with a sustained thermal shift. Hoping it's accurate! Thanks!

rattling hugs to you I am trying very hard to be happy for friends and family and get excited for new neices and nephews (in fact, the more kids they have, the less protective they get and seem to be v. glad to let me cuddle, feed and play with them! I love to be in charge! ) I'm slightly embarrassed by this, but I think I mostly get an urge to tell people we're trying and that we've had a miscarriage, just so they know we were 'first'...Is that really weird? I guess I just feel like we're being left behind in a sense.

Welcome Tinkerbell, I've just moved you up the list a bit so we're in cycle day order (makes it easier to know who to pounce on and demand HPT results!)

Well FF thinks I O'd now, but the third high temp is an adjusted one since I woke up late and had two margaritas last night Don't think I'll really be sure until tomorrow now!

Welcome everyone!

I have one ds as do others on here so you aren't alone in having kids!

Who wanted the number for a lady who makes blinds??? I have one in Richmond... Deana Craig, 0208 287 6204 - Last used her about 3 yrs ago but she was good. I have another number and an address if no joy with that one.

PS I'm Sagittarius but I think we're all just hyper-analytical!!

Thank you for your kind words & I'm glad you found our little temping haven.
Afternoon everyone, hope you're all well. Haven't had a chance to catch up, but hoping someone has good news soon.
Herby it looks like we're buddies again then

Speaking of neurotic and feckless whinging. . . tomorrow's my last day at work. I've been here nearly four years. The two women on my project (who are glued at the hip) left yesterday, not back till Monday. They didn't say a word to me, not goodbye, good luck....nothing. I found out because I sent an email after they'd gone and got their out of office reply.

Backround info: when I first got here, they ignored me for months even though we shared an office and worked on the same project. My boss felt sorry for me and moved me to a different one (I didn't even have to ask, she could see I was miserable). We moved buildings two years ago and I've sat across from them in this open-plan nightmare, getting glared at every time I dare open my mouth.

I'm prone to depression and was off for two months starting in January due to stress-related illness. Basically I was a wreck and needed more antidepressants to even leave the flat. Divorce/moving/TTC/working with sour-faced cows has not been good for me. But no matter how much you dislike someone you work with, don't you at the very least, when it's all over, just say 'bye, good luck!'? If only from relief that they're going? Is that some American thing that I'm carrying on? Doesn't this thread completely belong on 'Am I Being Unreasonable?'? I would put it there, but I'm too scared people will say what they've done is normal and I'm being an oversensitive twit.

Sarah - oh dear mind you did you really want to say goodbye to them??? I don't think I'd have bothered!

ps am I may be being silly but I've just bout an I pod for the sole purpose of putting my hypnosis cd on to

bought

I dunno, I just thought at the very end they could put away this irrational hatred they seem to have toward me and at least try to leave it on good terms.

I'm a bit like a ballon these days, trying to inflate my self-esteem and not get pricked by the pin of self-doubt, but this kind of thing really gets to me---like it's confirming the niggling paranoia I have on a daily basis, that everyone hates me and I'm an awful person.

sarah I can really sympathise with this. I remember being in situations like this in various office type jobs. I'm quite a confident upbeat person on the surface but I'm very non-confrontational and want everyone to 'like' me iykwim. I found the office politics and sometime bitchiness really hard to deal with.

In one job I had a girl fell out with me for a ridiculous reason and never spoke to me again (despite 4 of us sharing an office). Luckily I left a few months mater but she never said goodbye and didn't come to my leaving drinks after work . Shouldn;t have nothered me but it did at the time.

Still once you leave you can leave that all behind and make a fresh start.

that was me for the blinds, fym thank you! Although, I work in a theatre and it hit me the other day that I should talk to the wardrobe department! They just got back to me and told me that someone down there does them, so I'm going to check her out first. Thank you though!
