soosy glad all looks ok for your FET

HM2J cannot believe how shabbily you have been treated. Hope you get it sorted soon

Ceebee-DH is busy making FIL a Chelsea birthday cake having made him a Ballack (is that how you spell it) birthday card with DD-god I hope they win

HM2J - what a nightmare for you - I wish there was something that I could do to help (but short of becoming a consultant that can do echo scans not sure there is..) I think the NHS is so stretched that they really can't cope with the numbers of people that now live in this country. (sorry for getting a bit political but stories like yours make me sooooo .)

HC - you never know do you it only takes one little swimmer!! (although I will be a but if it happens first time for you! - in a nice way of course!!)

Parents are here at the moment so not much time to get on here - hope everyone else is ok. SOunding positive for you soosy - but sorry you can't get to wales as well! Life does become complicated doesn't it when you have to live by certain dates!

CD28 today, so still waiting...

Try to get back on later!

Thanks ladies, I knew you wouldn't think I was just whinging for the sake of it, lol! I will certainly be pestering from now on, seems I can't trust anyone to do anything, so will be back on the ohone tomorrow if I don't hear anything before then.

Soosy, I am glad everything is on track for the FET, although sorry about the trip. I also hope that your ds is feeling better and that the dr can give you the suppositries (a must to kep around with small children I have found, even if not a pleasant thought!) I must get some more calpol in as ds2 has his pre-school boosters tomorrow morning

HC, yes, we got caught first month trying, which always makes me feel incredibly guilty, when I would like nothing more than to see the rest of you graduating. I hope that you can at least follow in my footsteps HC. Sorry you are starting to come down with something, I hope it passes quickly.

Bellie, not long to wait for you now, fingers and everything else crossed!

Mjim, Yay for the half way mark and feeling properly pregnant. I hope that you aren't coming down with something too. Mind you, I had a terrible day on Sunday, hayfever was bloomin' awful and it takes a good 3 days to get over an attack. I am also starting to feel a little more pregnant now that i can feel more movement. I actually saw the baby kick from the outside yesterday, twice! Very cute!

Waves hello to everyone else! Suppose I should go and shower!

Yay for having a bright spark MJIM! As for seeing the kicks, I hope it was kicks cos it is not so cute to think I may have seen wind moving around

MJIM - what a clever little boy you have! You must be so proud and it is obviously a credit to the way you have brought him up Unfortunately, as DS goes to nursery 4 days a week, I cannot take any credit for his achievements

HM2J - lol at you thinking it is wind! I am so but I know my time will come! I never saw anything with DS apart from my belly rippling - never a hand or foot. Oh and he did get hiccups at least once a day!!

Majormoo - wow, the cake sounds fab! Is it out of a book or is your DH designing it himself? Can you post a photo? Lol at you wondering how to spell Ballack - it is the kind of name that you have to be very careful with isn't it? An'o' in the wrong place can give it a whole new meaning

HC - I can't believe you are coming down with another cold!

Soosy - sorry about Wales but I am sure that if this time the FET is a success, the sacrifice will be more than worth it!

Not much to report here - just counting down the hours until kick-off! Have booked DS's birthday party - I honestly couldn't face having it in our house as I do not have the energy for all the tidying, cleaning, preparing food etc so I have booked one at a soft play area. I know DS is far too young to appreciate it but it is the easier option! I just need to think of 10 'friends' for him to invite

Hi all

Just quickly on a couple of things.

I would definitely like a private birth aswell but they are quite expensive. www.babyworld.co.uk/features/birth/payingforbabysbirth.asp

I have just bought some Pre-Seed, it seems like it does great things so I am really hopeful! www.amazon.com/review/product/B0001E8BJ2/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?%5Fencoding=UTF8&showViewpo ints=1

Lots of love xxx

You have been chatty

ceebee-today I bought a piece of chocolately something or other (can't remember what it is called) as I felt all dizzy. Think I need to try and eat more-this cold doesn't help. GGGRRRHHH!!!

soosy-'tis a shame about Wales but hey, things are moving again for you, Positive vibes.

Heartmum-you have got an active baby. DD1 could be seen from the outside but DD2 never moved. So exciting.

Bellie-CD 28 so not long to wait. Positive vibes to you too. There is no way I will be PG having only done the deed once-that only happens to others. My friend is an example.

MJIM-your DS sounds a real cutie. No wonder you are so proud. 20 weeks and 3 days-fabulous.

Must get some tea on-hi to every one else.

Mjim - ds sounds wonderful [simle] - is there a proud mummy emoticon?

Well, today I brought the first response - the question is whether I can resist testing tomorrow . I am really fluctuating between feeling af symptoms and having none at all. Legs are aching quiet alot, but don't know what thant means .
Sorry this is fleeting but got to go and get parents from station...

good luck ceebee for tonight!

wave to everyone else (hope to be around more tomorrow!)

Hi all.

I still have a permanent headache here

Good news is that I now have a new washer just ended up having an expensive one which washing machine repair man had in stock and could fit today Oh well, at least it is quite nifty (for a washer) am I sad to be excited about the fact that I can do a 30 degree wash in 48 mins

Bad news (for me) was that my new friend/business partner to be/childminder turns out to be one of those people who just 'drop in' - as she did today. The house was a complete tip and to make it worse she went to the downstairs loo which needed more than a little TLC . She also seems a little 'full on' - not that that is a bad thing - but again, not what I am used to - so I have also spent a good part of the afternoon counselling her through an argument she has had with someone on the school playground All of my friends have always been 'at arms length' iyswim - that is why I like my 'virtual friends' here on mumsnet!!

Sorry, that was all about me.....

Juanitad - hope you enjoy Spain - make the most of it - the next time you go you will only be able to take up 1/4 of the suitcase!

Bellie - fingers (and legs) crossed for you here!

CE - ditto for you!!!

Mjob - what a clever little one you have! It's good to be smug!

HC - hope you're feeling better

Ceebee - good luck with the footie tonight (although I am personally not a Chelsea fan on the basis that none of the players are English !!!!!!

Majormoo - well done on the cake. How thoughtful of you!

Angel - good luck with the pre-seed. Let us know how you get on with it!

H2MJ - hope you get your appointment - I told you that ob was a muppet!

Soosy - good luck with the FET. Are you still looking for a house then!!!!! I thought it was a buyer's market at the moment!

Sorry if I missed anyone!

Right, I'm off now .....have good evening ladies

hi girls!

Angel - good luck with the pre-seed. I have looked at it, but DP says it's 'too scientific'!LOL! And taking temp/doing it 5 days running/taking agnus catstus/folic acid sin't! LOL

MJIM - ds sounds very clever...and you are allowed to tell us all! (as much as you like! LOL!)

HM2J - hope you are a little more relaxed. Have you got anything sorted yet?

Bellie- I am really excited for you! DO you think you can hold off testing tomorrow??? I have it all crossed tonight!

ceebee...for the football aswell!!! Hope Chelsea win or suspect we might have some grumpy ladies and DH's on here! LOL!

Willmouse - glad you got the washer sorted. It sounds perfect. I know exactly what you mean about the OTT friend. I am rubbish with women in RL, and much prefer to have bloke mates. I constantly find myself surprised by how much I tell you guys!

Soosy - sorry your ds is ill. Hope he sleeps well tonight. Glad your scan went well, it all sounds positive doesn't it?!?!? I really hope your FET works

Majormoo - your DH can bake a cake?! I am suitably impressed...you need never cook again! LOL!

HC - glad you got the chocolate cake. I think your body tells you what it needs sometimes and you should just go with it!

I am fine. I'm going to watch the footie as DP is a big football fan, although is a Magpie! urgh! I had a slight temp dip today at 8dpo...trying not to get excited though. I actually feel very calm this month, and will just wait and see what happens.

Ooh Willmouse don't get me started!! I am guessing that you don't realise we have just as many English players as Man United???

Right, off to collect our Indian takeaway and then sit down and keep everything crossed!! BTW, I have never had an Indian takeaway in my life before (much to DH's continual disappointment) but I have had a sudden urge for one recently - must be the spices I guess!!

x

willmouse-I too am unsociable keen to keep my distance. I need lots of notice before anyone comes round (if they must come round). Not good having someone like that in your life. Good that you have a new washer.

juanitad-v. of you going to Spain. Have a great time!

Can't believe The Apprentice is on at 10pm at the same time as Desperate Housewives. Will have to record both as this hour is too late for me.

Meant to say Bellie-make sure you use first morning wee then report result to us pronto. GOOD LUCK !

ceebee-is that why there is bugger all on TV until later? GRRHHH!!!

HC

Willmouse, yep, the OB is definately a muppet, a right jobsworth, BUT her secretary is lovely. I will call tomorrow to make sure the fax went off. Oh and I am also an "at arms length" kind of friend. My best friend and I are very close, but even she calls in advance to tell me she is coming around, even if it is "I'm on the bus, see you in 15 minutes". I definately don't do well with people dropping in without invite or warning. Yay for the new washer too! 48 minutes for a 30 wash is great, I thought mine was good but it takes 62 minutes, lol!

Good luck to those watching the footie tonight! Oh and Ceebee, I am loving curry alot right now too, anything strongly flavoured for that matter. I don't like them hot, but do like the flavours

Jaunitad, enjoy spain!

CE, soons very good so far this month! Being relaxed and calm is good!

HC, I hope the choccy cake was good!

Ceebee - I am not a fan of Manchester United either on the basis that none of their fans are from Manchester I can never work that out. Plus I hate the fact that you can buy things like Manchester United dog t-shirts from Argos - WHY???

Right, mission is still to book next years' holiday - I am so bored of looking at brochures and yet desperate for two free child places.....which aparently have nearly ran out

HC - are you sure about the Apprentice as Sky still has it at 9pm

HM2J - it is definitely the strong flavours that are appealing to me - and I have to say, the takeaway was DELICIOUS! I think we will definitely be going there again

Anyway, so far so good with the footy

Damn damn, was looking at BBC2 by mistake-wlll catch it on the BBC watch again.

HC

Ceebee, so sorry about the footie Glad you enjoyed your takeaway though

sorry about the footie ceebee! for you and DH xx (It sounds like they did you proud though - I only watched 1st half)

sorry about the footie ceebee .

But just like to say

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

(very scared too!)

Bellie-have been dying to log on and see. So chuffed for you.

HC

Bellie - woohoo!! That news has cheered me up no end this morning (and believe me I need a lot of cheering up today!) Fantastic!!!

As for me - today! CE - you are right, they did us very proud and I bloody hate penalties!!! I was feeling fine until it went to penalties and then I got really really nervous and stressed and DH shouted at me in case I did some damage to 'bump' or something - he kept telling me 'it's only a football game'!

Anyway, today is another day - just have to face some Man Utd fans at work today - grrrrrr!

Huge congratulations again Bellie - I really am so v v pleased for you

x

Bellie - CONGRATS!! That is so exciting! You really deserve it

Now - have you worked out your due date and started thinking about names yet?
