Hey Melainey... I seem to have the same cycle length and bleeding days. I have had a 34 day cycle for 2 months now but that can change. I also showed my partner all those flasher icons and he laughed. I am so happy Peter has embraced me learning about my body more.

Afternoon! Newbie you aren't old...I think aquiss has been the youngest actually, I'm sure she was only 19??!

I've had a nice day so far...DH went out to play with his new toy 'aka coffee roaster!' when the girls had their rests so I decided to tidy our bedroom, at the moment it triples up as our bedroom/study/junk room - And it drives me crazy! I love sewing and find it de-stresses me heaps, but I haven't done it for a while as I'm sick of carrying my 20kg machine around the house trying to find a space to put it and then I have to pack it all away every time so the girls don't attack it...anyway I've decided to claim Liam's study desk as my sewing table so I can leave it up all the time! he doesn't know yet but seeing as he's only used it 3times in the last 3years I'm sure he won't mind. Hopefully doing something to de-stress will help. I think one of my biggest problems is stress...I always go through the whole "what if we don't ever get pregnant?" scenario and i know it doesn't help! So my 2aims this cycle are to de-stress (considered taking up yoga!) and stop worrying about the future! xx

Angel & 2mums Oh how I wish it was I will keep temping! NOt hopeful but yanever know

A zimmerframe would be a great pressie hey Or one of those chairs that bring you up the stairs I have always wanted one of those hahahahahaha But seriously you are way younger fitness wise than me haha oh how I wish I could cycle 90Kms!! A baby would be the BEST birthday present Hopefully FX

Pammy - It is great to get to know your body I am sooooo glad that I started charting Best thing ever ANd it brought me to you lovely ladies

LLPM - I LOVE SEWING hehe But I have never used a Sewing machine I have only ever done it by hand In the middle of making a bag at the moment and soon I will be sewing two little baby boy blankets for my brothers twins that should arrive in october

2mums - hehehe

 

[Maddy40]

What are everyone's Sunday night plans? I'm working!

 

[LLPM]

Melainey it's funny I can sew anything on a machine but I cannot hand sew for my life! I'm terrible at it! I like to make clothes for my littlies and they each have a summer weight quilt! I want to set up a handmade gifts business with the idea of making gift sets, mainly for babies, but also toddlers and children! I have a bunch of ideas, but I know to make it successful I need to do at least a little bit of market research, then do some product testing etc... My biggest passion with it all is using recycled fabrics. So for all my girls clothes I buy clothes from op shops, cut them up and refashion them! it makes everything unique and I like the idea of not adding to the demand of 'cheap' fabrics sourced from countries where child labour is potentially involved! the only problem I've thought of is that not everyone is pro-second hand and I'm sure that regardless of how many times things are washed there are some people that couldn't stand the thought of giving their baby a toy made out of recycled fabrics! What do you ladies think??! I won't be offended at all...

 

[Melainey]

Listen when I was growing up I wore hand me downs all the time as my mother did not have a lot of money! (I have 2 brothers and no sisters ) and even tot his day am very into recycling etc.. And I know there are a lot of people like me out there! My hubby is very into saving the world ect... We use enviornmentally friendly everything even toilet paper, washing powder, washing up liquid etc... So I say that it is a great idea that you have there (And if you need a partner to habd sew I am here hehehe ) Go for it girl I still shop in op shops to this day if I get the chance

 

[Trying2b2mums]

Llmp- you're correct, Aquiss is the youngest at 19, but I guess I was including the 'core' of our group, that are here regularly. I like your goals too!!! Good ones!
I used to sew alot more than i do now, both machine and hand sewing, but my de-stress at home activity is scrap-booking now!!

Melainey

Llmp- i think your ideas are great, I'm all for up-cycling, I think its great! And you sound like you've got some good talents, resources and ideas. Have you looked into getting started on 'Etsy' - although not sure if its international, but might be a good place to start some research.

Maddy- will be having a low key Sunday evening, had a big day full of work, and now i'm stuffed! So dinner and some Olympics on the tele and probably an early-ish night for me!!! You??

 

[Newbie32]

I just finished baking....choc cookies with choc chips and pistachio and cranberry biscotti....the house smells divine!!!!

 

[Melainey]

Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom I LOVE COOKIES hehehehe!

I don't think Iam doing anything exciting tonight! Prob go for a drive and get ready to go to perth tomorrow! (DH has an interview )

 

[Newbie32]

Quiet night for me too

Knackered from today and 6am spin class tomorrow so up at 5!

So I think an early night, which will bring next temping closer!!!!

Hope it keeps going up! Angel your chart is looking sensational Hun!

 

[Melainey]

I feel knackered too and I haven't done much

It's only 15:45 and it feels sooooo much later!!!!

 

[Newbie32]

That's normal!!!!

I'm find I feel knackered both when really busy running around but also when I just chillax and don't do much at all...

 

[Melainey]

Hahaha I know It's crazy!

I think i'm coming down with something tho! I feel a little ill

 

[Newbie32]

Oh no!!

[Trying2b2mums]

[SJayne22]

Hi everybody, temp is the same today so not sure if that's a bad thing as hoped it would go up! Had loads of dull cramps yesterday as if af was coming today! Ff has only given me 35 points for 9 dpo so not very hopeful! I said to Dh yesterday that I just don't feel right, it's driving me crazy!
