qod - what time is he back?

dizzydixies · 23/04/2010 20:49

TS there are some really smart arse ones which can tell you if your are 2/3+ weeks pregnant as they're digital and have a window which tells you either PREGNANT/NOT PREGNANT and how many weeks since conception

£15 for two though

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:50

Well his email said he'd be back about 8.45, so any second now as long as there's not been a problem with the train.

ataraxis · 23/04/2010 20:51

and how far away is the shop?

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:51

Dammit, wanted to drink loads of wine tonight after really crappy afternoon.

ataraxis · 23/04/2010 20:52

When you get your bfp later on, I promise not to cyber stalk you through the rest of it

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:52

shop is about 10 minutes walk away

Lordy - I go to put a girl to bed (and fail!) cook a steak and come back to a possible PG QOD - how confusing and exciting at the same time. I was alway told that if the control line fails to show then you need to disregard the test. but the positive line should only appear if HCG appears.

Hi Dizz - what takeaway? How was training?

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:53

hehe. Seriously - why have I got heartburn?

TwilightSurfer · 23/04/2010 20:54

March 24th, 25th, or 26th ring any bells Queenie???

HCG is present not appears

DD sitting on the sofa very amused by DH watching Simpsons she keeps yelling - who that? and why her hair blue?

LittleNutTree · 23/04/2010 20:54

Woohoo! The weekend is here! Supposed to be on the laptop doing paperwork, but it?s Fri night so have sacked that idea.

I?ve been watching all the drama QofD! It?s just typical that DP?s battery is dead! Cliffhanger or what???

Thanks for the wise words re ttc TS and Sazzles (enjoy your weekend btw Sazzles!). In the mist of thinking about ttc, I hadn?t realised that I could potentially have an Xmas baby until it was too late, then AF arrived and just felt disappointed. It took ages to fall pg with DD and really can?t be bothered with all the stress again. If this is me after a month, you can imagine what I was like then! My BF was really good at the time and helped me through it, but now she?s going through her own fertility troubles and is not sure she?ll ever have her own baby, so don?t want to put all my issues on her now. Anyhoo...

lwfh, the best advice that I was given was what spring said, look at what they eat over the week, rather than each day. I usually forget how DD ate the day before so I don?t worry about it anymore! She can be brilliant one day and really rubbish the next. The CMing helps as she sees all the other kids eating and joins in. She would live on beans, mash & Cheerios if she had the choice. I?m a rubbish cook and don?t have the confidence to really cook many different things, which makes me worry that I?m storing up problems by not offering a large variety of foods.

Aww loti I really hope things can be sorted out. DH and I had a major falling out a month or two ago. It was early in the day and I walked out with DD and stayed out all day then came back and packed a bag, travel cot, the lot and stayed with a friend overnight. He got a massive shock and a glimpse at life without us and was really, really sorry. He?s started pulling his weight around here a lot more too. It was horrible at the time, but was a really good wake-up call.

I want to go off and have tea but scared I?ll miss something now QofD!!

oopsandbabycoconut · 23/04/2010 20:55

I am awaiting my evening dose of heartburn QOD hopefully you have mine

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:56

I will update as soon as I've been and bought test. Hurry up DP!

LittleNutTree · 23/04/2010 20:57

TwilightSurfer · 23/04/2010 20:58

Hi oops - Indian and DH and I couldn't decide!! He stayed up off a nightshift till 3pm to get the essays done and I've been on an early shift so the motivation to cook was NIL

training was fine, boring data protection crap but a decent input from a couple of speakers. Appraisal today too and good apart from one narky comment from tosser boss who seems to have a thing about woman speaking up against his opinions, which I tend to do if I disagree never mind, first negative remark in an appraisal for 10yrs

have taken the chickenroute plunge ladies and sent text to dbrother who is still stuck in Spain with rest of family - will leave it to him to tell them about pending DC4 and they can all get over it before they come home on Sunday also had to tell line managers today so at least thats over with. Now just for the rest of the shift

Poppy - I've certainly never told A how we know each other, I think I fobbed her off when she asked with similar antenatal excuse told her about the baby today too

all getting a bit real for me now

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:59

Hi LNT try not to let your past experience of ttc put you off. A lot of people who had trouble the first time round find that the second time was much easier. Was certainly so in my sister's case. She has PCOS is seriously overweight as well. They had given up trying and were on the waiting list for a fertility clinic when she conceived her dd1. Her DD2 came much easier.

TwilightSurfer · 23/04/2010 20:59

dizzy that's amazing. i'm so out of the poas loop. thankfully

ataraxis i have the shoes if you need them?

Thanks TS! Oh and to make up for all the in my previous post!

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 21:00

I need to pee, and I have no stick to do it on!

ataraxis · 23/04/2010 21:01

Dammit qod, you had been gone for at least 3 mins then, I thought he was back!

Littlenut hi! Hope you are doing ok in spite of the disappointment .
His tummyache has miraculously disappeared now that Dorothy has saved the day by dissolving the wicked witch of the west . I am, however, pondering the wisdom of letting him stay up late to watch it - chances of going to sleep afterwards?

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 21:02

no he's not back yet where the hell is he?

TwilightSurfer · 23/04/2010 21:04

okay well i have to go to school to pick up dd1. be back later.

LittleNutTree · 23/04/2010 21:07

Thanks QofD,I've heard that can be the case, fingers crossed! I don't mind you being the one to possibly having the Xmas baby either!

And well done dizzy on telling your DB!
