Catherine has taken to begging for a nappy on whenever I leave one off now so we've taken a step back too.

She was perfect when naked but a total disaster whenever we put knickers on so I think I'll give it a few weeks then try again

MrsHerculePoirot · 13/04/2012 19:31

Well today she wanted knickers on after we for back from trip out cue two wees in knickers and her crying both times as it was wet on her legs!!! Have ordered a book about it so I have some idea of what to do/try in future. At moment she is too busy to even answer when I ask if she needs a wee!

MrsHerculePoirot · 16/04/2012 20:58

Hi all
Thanks for the good wishes re: my dad. He is doing quite well, Nevis working again so has got some money coming in and is seeing probation every week. He's been over here twice since his release helping us with the garden and Anna has really taken to him, so that's good news.

Thanks for tips on potty training Lee. It's going ok ish here, but still nowhere near finished.
Ost of time she is really good and trots off to the potty or loo when she needs to go, both at nursery and at home and accidents seem to be reducing BUT, still having wee's on carpet when she is distracted snd also when she has a tantrum (most days Hmm). Not sure what I can do to help her. I try to gently remind her if she's had a big drink, or not been for a while, but sometimes I ask her and she says she's ok, only to pee all over floor a couple of minutes later. Confused. Any help gratefully received!

Am on the holiday countdown! Off to Spain a week on Sunday and I cannot wait!

Hope you're all ok. Xxx

Hi all. Need to get this off my chest and you seemed the best bet! Grin As you know we are TTC. AF was due on Monday,but no sign yet. Have POAS today but was negative. Arrghh. Is driving me mad. Try so hard to not get hopes up, but is really difficult. Sad

Not sure really Lee as period following miscarriage fell into same cycle pattern as pre-pg. Got quite a bit of EWCM at time when I thought I should be ovulating, and also a slight pain which I read could be a sign of ovulation. Then had really light spotting at what I calculated to be 10 DPO... So not sure if I am due some good news, or alternatively adding 2 to 3 and getting 10!! Hmm
Used clearblue HPT, but did it on my lunchbreak at work and had to literally POAS, and didn't manage the required 5 seconds! Grin. I think if still no sign of AF in Friday morning I might try again, but do it properly!

Ethel - hope you find out either way soon. AF arrived here today so no success for us this month... I am half disappointed and half pleased as it gives me a few more weeks to lose a few lbs... fingers crossed for you though.

EthelredOnAGoodDay · 19/04/2012 15:48

Gah, AF. Has arrived this afternoon. Bloody buggering big bummer bollocksGrin.
Back to the drawing board.

MrsHerculePoirot · 19/04/2012 17:45

Boo. Although I am getting more and more freaked out by our strangely similar cycles now Ethel... I reckon this month better anyway...

EthelredOnAGoodDay · 19/04/2012 19:46

Yes I had a similar thought myself MrsH when I read your post! If I an ovulating, j think the next opp will be whilst we're on hols, so at least a bit more likelihood of it happening I hope! Anyway, going to attack the Wine tonight. Had such a shite afternoon, in addition to AF arriving, took me two hours to get back to york as bloody a1 was shut so loads of traffic on my route home. Was an hour late picking A up from nursery! Blush

Blatherskite · 19/04/2012 19:55

Ethel - The Blathers family holiday will be in York for 2 whole days later this year. If you're not on holiday again we should meet up! Wink

EthelredOnAGoodDay · 19/04/2012 19:58

Ha! Well I have got three booked this yearGrin ha ha ha!
When you up? X

Blatherskite · 19/04/2012 20:10

Every time I see a FB update of yours you've been away or out doing something exciting with someone!

I'm only Envy

We'll be in York at the end of Jubilee week - beginning of June.

EthelredOnAGoodDay · 19/04/2012 20:29

Ha, it's all just a ploy to make me look popular! Grin
Well, we do have quite a busy week that week plus wedding on the thursday, and then coldplay on the sunday, but are free fri and sat? Is that any good?

Blatherskite · 19/04/2012 20:31

Friday might work...
