AF due July 23/24? Looking for a buddy?

[Coleey]

Ohh I was wondering.. Do any of you happen to know how to, how long it takes and how much it costs to be a registered childminder in the UK? xx

 

[Wilsey]

Ganton - that is fabulous news!!!! I knew your baby would be fine. Do we get to see a scan pic?!?! xxx

 

[Tia Maria]

Oooo Ganton congratulations on the healthy 12 weeks i'm really pleased for you And u didnt wet yourself did you? I'd love to see a picture too.

Wilsey 5k is a lot of money good for you!!! I hope you find a lovely home for your new family

Coleey my sisters friend went to college to become a registered child carer person and i dont think it took her long at all! I can ask her if you want? How come anyway?

Mari it IS a shame we're not neighbours...ive always wanted friendly neighbours lol That'd be so cool to be able to have a cuppa and a chat. *sigh* ah well lol And get you being in marketing - very fancy pants lol Congrats on the job though, and yeah hehe i did get then paint off of her, poor pup lol


My room looks fab! lol furniture still not up grrr but it will be soon. I'm leaving Lilly-Mae at my mums tomorrow morning for a few hours and i'm dreading it!! I've never EVER been away from her....and i know its bad cos she's 2 in january but i can't bare the thought of leaving her tomorrow.
I'm doing it cos when i go into labour/hospital, she cant stay overnight with me....so i'm going to start to try and be away from her a couple of times before i'm due. She will be absolutely fine i know she will...it's totally my issue, but i'm not looking forward to it. But i guess me and marty can have some 'couple' time together....be able to look around some shops and not have be saying ''put your shoes back on...don't you dare take those socks off'' lol Wish me luck ladies!!!

I hope everyone's well

 

[Coleey]

That would be great thanks hun! A lot of my friends don't work because of how expensive childcare is in the uk. We've been talking about possibly moving to the uk, if I don't end up finding work here. It seems to be really hard finding work, as I can't apply for a lot of things I CAN do because my Norwegian isn't perfect. Annoying when you're qualified to work, but can't! Hopefully someone will employ lil me!

Aww don't worry Tia, I've only been away from Alex 3 hours max since he was born. We went to the cinema, but it just felt so strange not having him around. I'm not comfortable leaving him with my mil, shes really pushy. Ever since she complained about me and OH sleeping when Alex did, when he was newborn, I've felt that way. I'd happily leave him with my fil and bil though lol. It's nice you have your mum around though!

Oh sorry Mari, I didn't see you wrote about Marketing.. I'm such a numpty at the mo! xx

 

[Mariposa21]

Aww ya not a numpty lass hehe
I thought yOu were supposed to sleep when your new born did?? Mil's can be so judgemental and don't realise they are just messing things up for themselves so you are originally from uk?? Are you in Norway due to hubby's job? x

Hope everyone is well today, hope you are coping Tia huni she will be fine I'm sure x

 

[Coleey]

Exactly and my mum was always telling us to sleep when he did! My mil told us we should be going out on walks instead. I could barely even walk as I had a spinal prolapse after giving birth lol!

Yeah I'm originally from the uk hun. My OH is Norwegian and when we first started dating, he was offered a job in Sweden and he asked if I'd go with him. Was a big step, but worth it! We wanted to move closer to family though, so we're in Norway now. Can you believe it would have cost nearly £5k to ship our things to the UK?!

How did you and your OH meet? How are you today? xx

 

[Mariposa21]

I'm well huni, ovulating right now but not going out of our way to try but I'm really ok with it because everything's going to be better and more secure in long run
£5k is a lot, probably would cost less to sell your stuff you could live without, mOve over here into a fully furnished place and buy stuff again.

I've just cleared out my wardrobe, so gutted that it's all black clothes! But with starting new job I wanted to know exactly what work clothes I've got hehe

How is everyone? I suppose there's not a lot of symptom spotting in here anymore just waiting for all your lovely news from your scans x

 

[SWIPER]

Hi guys. Think ur right to focus on nrw job for while mari and I bet u will b telling new employers I need maternity leave!!. I'm trying not to symptom spot but I'm trying to remember how I was when I got bfp in aug. Boobs not sore and they were from early so trying not to think about it but its hard. I'm waiting til 30 days so 8 to go. I'm 38 Sunday so it would b nice to have conceived at 37.!! Glad u got room painted, tia. Its a wet and windy nite here so settling down for tv. Does anyone watch I'm a celebrity get me outta ere. How many weeks will u b wilsey and tia for scan time is flying by now

 

[Wilsey]

Mari - good idea about just not worrying about it. Your new job is important but agree with SWIPER - before long you will be requesting maternity leave!

SWIPER - I think every pregnancy is different anyway - so hard to know if it's nothing or something! I hope you get your BFP soon darl. Keep us posted xx

I will be 20 weeks and I think Tia will be 19 (but think her bubs is measuring the same week as mine anyway).

Can't believe it's December - where has the time gone. Considering this thread title mentions July!!!!!!

 

[Coleey]

Best way to be Mari, just enjoy it hun!

Are you doing anything nice for your Birthday Swiper? Good luck hun and keep us updated!

This year has just flown by, it's crazy! I'm excited though, in a few hours I'll be able to say I've skipped a period! xx

 

[Ganton]

Hi all. Tried to upload my piccie but don't think I can do it on here. I'll have to try on the main computer tonight when I get back from work. I hope everyone has a lovely day.

 

[Wilsey]

Can't to see Ganton!!!

 

[Mariposa21]

Just logged-on on the laptop and its lovely to see everybodys signatures and time line things. Couldn't believe Wilsley is 47% through her pregnancy, its flying! Doesn't seen two mins ago since you were symptom spotting! x

Putting up the christmas decorations tonight with my beautiful husband, really want to put carols on and drink hot choc haha. Love it! Got the tea on - normally I make stews, lasagne, coq au vin, shepards pies but tonight really hankering after tinned tomatoes, sausages, waffles and fried egg. Is it just me that sometimes you can really enjoy simple food. Hubby loves it and if he treats himself he treats himself to beans on toast lol Has anyone else got some simple guilty food pleasures???

Lots of love everyone x

 

[Tia Maria]

OOooooo i have discovered hot chocolate with cream on top! I don't even like cream but ooo thats my winter drink from now on I make lots of stews too, i also make roast dinners which are martys fave...but i'm a pasta gal myself...luuurve pasta. My guilty pleasure is probably chips and cheese with mayonaise mmm mmm.
Are you enjoyiing the new job Mari? I hope the NTNP is the one that does it for you mari i sincerely do.


Coleey have you done a recent HPT?

Ooo happy birthday Swiper...any plans?

Ganton i cant wait to see

Wilsey not loooooong!!!! I'm so excited!!!!! Less than 2 weeks!

I hope everyone is ok this evening.....the gritters have been out, i hope that means snoooowwwww. God i love snow.

xXx

 

[Mariposa21]

I think lessening the emphasis on when to bd during ovulating and not temping or using ov tests will be a lot better for me, along with concentrating on new job, so think ya right Tia. I love cheesy chips too hehe. So your scans are mid next week? Is it the three month one? Is this where you can find out gender? Have you already had one?

So how far are you Ganton, I haven't been able to follow your progress as well as the others. X

Hows house hunt going wilsley? And Cooley when you testing?? X

 

[Mariposa21]

Hello everyone

Hope y'all well.I keep getting a stabbing pain where I would say my bladder is lol It feels kind of swollen. Hope nothings wrong or would this be classed as ovulation pains?

Not doing too good at avoiding BD during ovulation but i've not been elevating my legs lol

 

[Coleey]

I love mac n cheese, stews and currys! I really miss salt n vinegar crisps though lol!

I did a hpt this morning and it was negative. Not too bothered, just feeling impatient. I'll retest on the 16th with a different brand! I'm pretty certain I'm pregnant though, just don't understand why it takes so long with me. I never got a reason with Alex, but my midwife was shit lol! I can't fit in any of my jeans as I'm that bloated!

I have a very poorly lil boy! Hes spent the whole day sleeping on me, hes got a fever and doesn't want to eat.

I'm not sure Mari, it could be o pains Does it feel like a pinch?

What are you girls up to this weekend? Have a lovely birthday Swiper! xx

 

[t-bell]

Omg tia I think you have just planned out my whole nights eating lol drinking chocolate with whipped cream Mmmmmmmm
Cheesy chip with Mayo or garlic Mayo Mmmmmmmm
I'm so hungry lol

How is everyone feling I had cramps at implantation if this helps but fingers crossed for a BFP and the witch stays away

Xx

 

[Mariposa21]

Thank you t bell, in a way I hope you are right but started a new job and vowed to stop ttc till I had got myself established and money in the bank 😰 haven't been doing a great job at the no bd whilst ovulating though...oops because if I do get a bfp I'll be in a bit of a pickle lol but still would be over the moon. So what's happening with you? I sometimes get you mixed up with Tia lol xxx

 

[Tia Maria]

Oooo Mari that could be ovulation pains you know...do you know where in your cycle you are? I hope its O pains, and even if youve not been elevating your legs.....neither did i I hope you're settling into your new job ok.
Wilsey, Ganton and I have had the 3 month one but Wilsey and I are going for the gender scan on the 12/13. SO excited!

T-Bell i hope you enjoyed your evening with a looovely menue set out for you lol How are you feeling this evening?

Coleey dont you get salt and vinegar crisps over there? That'd be devastating! Omg you think your pregnant.....why dont you use a different brand? I'm so excited for you!!!!! How far gone would you be now then?

I hope everyones ok and having a nice saturday night.

I'm all good no news to report

xXx
