Anyone with diabetes??

[Jimbob80]

Hi, my hubby and I are trying to start a family. I am a diabetic and have been for 17 years, I'd like to chat with anyone with diabetes to share the experiences.

[Jimbob80]

oh the glamour jimbob! we went to chessington the other day and couldn't get over how cheery the staff there were...maybe they're all at it..

anyhow, i must fly now so good look with the trying and hope to speak to you again soon, xxx

[Jimbob80]

ha, ha, we met through work too, not what we do now though. We both worked at Alton Towers Hotel b4 we trained. We were both in housekeeping, I was a room attendant he was a linen porter!

[bundle]

aha. love across the copydesk (well, virtual, he was in a different office to me and we had a 50mile dash most evenings!).

[Jimbob80]

we often joke that when the little ones are 8 dh can take over!!

[Jimbob80]

did you meet through work?

[bundle]

gosh, we sound like matched pairs!

[Jimbob80]

Nursery Nurse, DH Secondry school teacher

[bundle]

and you?

[bundle]

i work in radio, dh in tv

[Jimbob80]

what do you do?

[bundle]

oh yes. my parents live not far away - nr St Helens. trouble is both me and dh can't really work outside of london, so we just have to put up with it.

[Jimbob80]

Staffordshire, not too far from Alton Towers if you know where that is, Little town called Cheadle.

i know
i think i've overdramatised it a bit, you can get houses for 250k+ in some places but we really like n.london and feel pretty settled here. it only takes me 1/2 hr to get to work. where are you?

[Jimbob80]

oh my god! mine was only 85,000 for 3 bed, guess londons out for us then!

[bundle]

the houses in our street (which are pretty big) are around £650k, but you can get "cottagey" type ones for 450ish. gulp. (we'll probably end up moving further out but dd1 has just started school and i'm not moving her until i've found the right house/school/transport for us all)

[Jimbob80]

Ah. That's fantastic. nice number too. how much is it in london for an average family house?

[bundle]

jimbob i'd love another but i'm 40 v soon and money is pretty tight (we'd like to move out of our flat into a house but the prices are v high where we live in london)..and don't want to push my luck now i have 2 beautiful daughters!

[Jimbob80]

I was diagnosed when I was 7. Going to the loo alot, drinking gallons, and really moody. Parents took me to the docs when I started loosing loads of weight and hey presto!

[Jimbob80]

lol! sure will. are you trying for more, having another or happy with 2?

[bundle]

just enjoy the trying

[Jimbob80]

I guess. just strange for me I guess. Hope it doesn't take that long but knowing my luck!

[bundle]

weird. haven't experienced that myself. we conceived 3rd month first time, then first month 2nd time but were incredibly lucky as it's completely "normal" to try for anything up to a year.

[Jimbob80]

It was first response so i guess it would have picked up on it if pg by now
