Five Go Mad In London

[BogMyrtle]

Ta daaaa.
Welcome to our new home .

Like I say, I'm not dwelling on it - I'm ok I promise

Now then, tell me all the latest Lee stuff !!

Sorry x-posted. Yes, he's trying but empathy not his strong point!!

Well, we had a bit of a question and answer sess with my friend...

Which didn't reveal much...

I got to see his albums from Phantom with a few Lee pics...

Binkle, so sorry you're going through this. I went through something very similar between DSs (positive test one day, bleeding two days later).
But you sound like you're dealing with it well. Give DH time and he'll be ok too.

I didn't take him up on the offer to text Lee. I'm a bit embarrassed to be honest and want to not appear too stalkerish!

I totally would have texted him! But perhaps the opportunity will arise again Berrie? You did the right thing - playing hard to get

Yes...tis all part of my master plan!

Thanks MrsS, yes it's quite weird finding out one day and next day it's all but over. But I'm quite pragmatic about these things.

MrsS, when it happened to you did you have to have anything done? It's just that the first time round for me I had a positive test at the family planning on the friday and by saturday tea-time I had started bleeding and so in a bit of a panic I went to womens unit at hospital on the sunday evening and ended up being admitted and having scan to ensure all the product (as the dr called it - how lovely ) had been expelled.

This time I did my own test on friday morn and again by saturday night I had started bleeding but because it was only my own test and not 'official' I havent thought of going to the hospital and also not as far on - I think only 4 -5 weeks max as opposed to around 9 last time.

Just wondered if you had to have a scan or D & C when it happened to you? Sorry for nosy prying - I understand if you dont want to say its just I'm not sure what happens when its so early or if they do a routine scan no matter what.

Past my bedtime night night!
((hugs Binkle))

Well Berrie, it might get back to him that you were offered to text him but passed it up so you come across all selective about it which is no bad thing for a 'stalker'

Night Berrie, thanks for the huggle

No didn't occur to me to go to the hospital or doctor. It was so early on I just thought the bleeding would deal with it. it was just like a period but heavier and more crampy than usual.
It wasn't too upsetting as it was so early on I'd barely had time to get my head round it.

Same here. Do you think I should still go to the doctor for confirmation or just let it be? It's just that the first time round they made quite a fuss about making sure everything was out because of risk of infection and stuff it's put the wind up me a bit.

Probably not necessary as it was so early there probably isn't much to 'expel'. Sorry to put it so bluntly.
But go if you're concerned. Can't do any harm.

Agree. Dont mind the bluntness - I'm a bit like that myself!

SO what have you been up to (apart from slating my man off the basil brush show harumph! )

Well he is nothing like DH, totally unsexy (sorry ).
DP is watching the rugby (he's become obsessed) and I'm trying to work out whether we should go camping next weekend as planned. Our pitch is booked at the campsite voted 'coolest' in the country but I'm worried it might be a bit cold. And the rugby final is Saturday night. OTOH I have booked the day off so don't want to waste it. Decisions, decisions...

Hmmm... You need to go camping and embrace the cold!

That's what it's all about, yes? (I speak as someone whose been camping once, for one night and NEVER AGAIN! I dont like: the cold, the wet, the scary wind noises, the hooting, the shuffling and prattish friends who wake me up in the middle of the night with a torch under their chin!)

IS there a pub nearby where dh can still catch the rugby?

The campsite is in a hamlet, so there must be a pub. Not sure i want him trekking off to the pub leaving me and DSs in the dark, alone. Was thinking a little handheld TV might do the trick.
I'm also not too good at embracing the cold . Perhaps if it stays dry we'll go. Dry and cold I can deal with, wet and cold I cannot.

Sympathies Binkle. Have you decided whether to go to the doctor or not? I don't think I would tbh - if you hadn't done the test you would just think it was a late bleed wouldn't you? But as MrsS says, it can't do any harm.

I'm resigned (just about) to just having the one. Dd took 7 years of trying. We've been trying again since we had her and despite a 6month course of Clomid last year have had no luck - I had a 10 weeks m/c in 2005. I'm 41 now and feel it's just not to be, which saddens me as I always said I wanted 7 children .

Anyways, I'm glad you are feeling ok.

On the Lee front, Berries friend thinks there is an album in the pipeline which is good news

MrsS, you're nesh. Put on some extra jumpers and get thee to the campsite

Big hugs Binkle, I hope you're ok, and that your DH has now calmed down a bit as well.

As for you Oggs, don't you think 7 was just a little on the steep side? I'm also resigned to one on the basis of hating pregnancy so much the first time around and DH not being home anywhere near enough for me to cope even remotely.

Sorry, no news on the Lee front, but next week's Robin Hood looks like Guy will be getting his kit off!! Wayhey!

Thanks Oggs and Z, dh wants us to go to drs so we'll go just for confirmation. I'm happy with one too, she's my little mate and tbh the only thought in my head about having another would be that she wouldn't be an only child and that'd be good for her but that's twice now and I take that as a message from my bod that one is plenty and so be it

Just seen a poster in a shop window of Craig in his dreamcoat wearing a HUGE cheesy cringe-inducing grin - I'm beginning to dread it!

Binkle, that's how I feel as well, that it would be nice for DS to have a sibling, however, provided they have lots of friends and so on, I think they should turn out fine.

But don't dread Craig. Embrace the cheese!!! Then picture him as the 'exotic dancer' I read somewhere he once was ...or not.

Aargh! Just had to run outside in the rain to chase away Mr Fox who was eyeing up my chickens (and solitary duck) whilst wearing a chefs hat and carrying a clove of garlic in one paw and a stock cube in the other. Sheesh!
