I like white goods as new terminology for swimmers. We need to rid the boards of auntie flow. RTOD is good or just the witch or even better period. We discuss our most intimate details but are scared to say her name in vain. Though its a swear word on this thread.

morning everyone!

Well, my shiny silver white goods (actual oven not 'white goods') have arrived - slight scratch this time but considerably better than bloody great dent. Delivery numpties got quite grumpy and aggressive when I pointed it out - why are men such pea-brains and why do they always think that women (especially with toddler clamped to hip) are overconcerned about everything and overreact and grrrrraaaaah. In the end I said that dh was a perfectionist and needed to make sure everything was perfect and I could get into trouble if it weren't right. (Not at all true bless 'im). WHY should I have to resort to these LIES and WHY DO THEY WORK?

MEN!!!!!

[Rant over]

At least i've got my oven now. Now it's just handles on the cupboard doors, the washing machine, a new kettle that actually boils water rather than leaving it kinda tepid.... etc.

I'm so bored of a)ttc and b)tww that even the other type of white goods are becoming interesting.... Might browse through a fridge catalogue later...mmmm...

Well my White good is all plumbed in and has been used twice already! Dd was very excited and made me wash some towels just so she could see how it worked only six and excited by a washing machine ( we both need to get out more!!

Dh away again until Monday so I can sit here waiting for rtd on my own.

Unbuffy did they take your oven back? My delivery men were ok took the all the wrapping off and took it away with them.

They took it away last time when it had a huge dent in. This time i'm not so worried as it's only a tiny bit of cosmetic damage, so i let them leave it . Just got to be wired up and pow! Party timw!

Hey all, just realised I have got to CD21 without realising - no menkulling at all yet. Tis a miracle for me.

I am very tired and excited today - my little sis is 37 weeks tomorrow but has been in hospital for a week with high blood pressure. Last night they induced her and I was so excited/worried in equal proportions that I couldn't sleep. Meanwhile, sis slept through mild conractsions!

I've just had a text from BIL to say waters have broken and things are moving fast now. Hoorah, I'm going to be an auntie again! But this time it will be a niece, so extra special.

Ahhhh.... Am very excited for you Pol my friend's waters broke on Monday just before 37 weeks and she has not gone into labour so instead is bored in hospital!

Oh and I was asked to be a guide parent for my friend's little girl. Like a god parent but the non-religious version. I was chuffed.

That is lovely Lou! Meant to say - I don't think I get funny feelings in tummy after acupuncture... must pay more attention next time. Hope your friend gets her baybee soon!

Am a bit gutted as we started trying at same time and she has got a baby and I haven't. Can't really say that in real life. But excited about baby cuddles.

Its fucking hard isn't it. Every mum that I met when we had our first babies together has gone on to have more. One of them is now pregnant with her third and I'm still waiting for no2. There is only one other mum with just the 1 child, and her DH doesn't want anymore, so really it is just me.

Still, it WILL happen for us when the time is right. I have to believe that or else go mad.

My hypno has faith! So it must be true.

In a a way it is probably bad for your friend whose DH doesn't want another as she can't even try for one. That is unless she is happy with one.

Exactly - keep the faith Lou!

My lovely 1-childed friend does want more, but not desperately if you know what I mean. However she has come off the pill and told her husband she wants another baby and if he wants sex he has to bear the consequences! She is a bossy cow my friend, but very funny with it.

I think I would like your friend. But at least we are in a better position than her. Kinda.

Got more needles tomorrow.

Wonder where Lia is maybe she is too busy looking after her kids and not going on mumsnet. She does have a whole lotta kids to look after.

Hi girlies,

Know what you mean about the waiting game. My best friend has had 2, and numerous friends have had babies in the past 2 years that we've been ttfc!!!!

Just feels like it's never gonna happen but I'm gonna get those 'white goods' tonight cos I need to keep the odds up!!!

Polly Your friend sounds like one of mine. She has 5 kids now! lol.

pollypoo I'm at that stage where the mum friends I made since ds was born are either trying or already pregnant. It feels like race that I'm already losing because of my long cycles...

I can still be very happy for those announcing pregnancies with their first. So I'm not a complete cow.

No more swi for at least three weeks now. But I think we did as much as we could this month so when my period comes I can't blame dh.

I'm feeling very pre-menstrual already when I'm not due till the end of next week, where's that fridge catalogue? Pass it over.

Meanwhile I have some of those lindt truffles that I've injected with vodka. Anyone?

Out of the group of antenatal mums I met with ds, 5 now have their dc2, one of whom arrived today, one is still preg, leaving me and 2 others, one of whom swears blind she is not having any more. So my friend got a baby and I got my period. Ho hum, lucky old me!

Well my little niece was born at 4.30 this avo, weighing in at only 5lb 8oz! Bless! They have called her Ava Mai (why oh why can they not just call her Ava May?! I don't get it. But I will shut my mouth and just coo over her instead!)

That sounds like a shit deal UmBongo - surely it would have only been polite to get you a BFP this month?!

Digi I also have to keep telling myself its not a race (even though it bloody well feels like it). And if it were a race I'd still be running it while the others had got their medals, packed up and gone home! Bah!

Pol glad your niece is ok. Not sure why people do stupid spelling things with their kids names either. At least it won't distract from cuddles. 5 pounds 8 sounds huge to me but then Adi was onl 4lb 9.

I suppose I should be SWI but TH is just recovering from tonsillitis and its his first proper day at work since last week. Don't think I will be ovulating til Monday so will pounce tonight.
