Nana - that's so funny! He will still think it's a good pressie cos he won't know the reasoning behind it! Lucky you didn't get the apron!! haha bet you got a nice surprise with the flowers!! And to work!! DELIVERED!!! spending the big buck on you! hehehe Oh and before, I meant temp rise tomorrow...I'm really losing my marbles today!!

Melainey - happy cleaning! bboooo!!!!

I have a new plan! On the off chance that I'm preggy (which I doubt at this point) I'm going to test tomorrow as I may geta faint positive on an IC. If I do, I will be able to get a digi test!

That's kinda just the poas addict coming out in me though!!

YAYAYAYAY gooooo testing tomorrow squiggley!!

And he will know the reason, cos i'll tell him!!! And yes - he reminded me that they were expensive....that one must have hurt his tight ass! My i do have my bitch badge on today. MEOOOW!!!!

Boooo to cleaning melainey! I've done sooo much washing today but its too windy to put it outside! They are still building some houses around ours and I can picture seeing my pants hanging off some scaffolding! Not a good look!

My pre-conception vits say you can use them up even if you get pregnant so I think they are pretty much the same thing!

Newbie I'm so pleased you got your flowers but a shame as it would have been so funny to see his face later! I would definately pull the 'biatch' line, you go girl!!!!

Hi girls! Am on my phone so will update the front page when I have access to an iPad or laptop (to be honest they are in my room but I am too tired to go and get them!)

Rosie I am so bummed for you about AF I really thought your chart was great end that this was your month - loads of coming his to you!!!

Lainey I'm sorry you're in pain! Praying AF will get on her broom and leave you alone - for at least nine months!!!

As for preg supplements I take blackmores preg and breast feeding - there is not enough of a difference to justify the extra $ for conceive well and my dr has said the folate and iodine is more than sufficient for conception - I think it is a personal choice though. I also take vit b and c supps to boost my energy and immunity.

Jayney so glad you're back and glad you liked the re ole I emailed you - for others who are interested it is:

Port Lamb shanks

Ingredients (serves 4)
1 cup SR flour
4 large lamb shanks
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, unpeeled, cut into 1cm slices
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 cups chicken stock
3/4 cup tawny port
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons traditional Gravox powder*
2 tablespoons cold water

Preheat oven to 180°C. Place flour and salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Lightly coat shanks with flour. Heat oil in a saucepan over high heat. Cook shanks, in batches, for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a large roasting pan.
Add onions and garlic to saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until soft. Add stock, port and maple syrup. Stir to combine. Bring to the boil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over shanks and cover pan tightly with foil. Roast for 1 hour. Remove foil. Turn shanks and roast for 30 minutes or until tender.
Transfer shanks to a platter and cover to keep warm. Mix Gravox and water in a bowl until smooth. Stir into pan juices and bring to the boil, stirring, over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes or until reduced slightly. Serve shanks with gravy and roasted veggies.

I'll be 11 dpo. Was going to wait, but it's got the better of me. Lol

Nana, bitch badge for good reason! Hope he sucks up lots!!

Well I can't say it went that well - I was only in his office 5 minutes before I was bawling. Bloody hell I hate crying at work. Told him what I was feeling - we were originally meeting to write a job spec for a vacant position under me - MY old job!! - and I said "I want it back, I hate working for my boss, I hate the job" etc etc. Then when I told him some of what has been going on he was shocked. Asked me to do a formal complaint about him. I said no - it's bad for your future prospects, it's wrong but everyone knows it. (Eg yesterday he said all his direct reports had an office in proportion to the size of their penis - and I didn't have one because I didn't have a penis. Nice.)
We'll see what happens - the ball is in motion now. I told him I felt like I was being pushed to resign, and mentioned that if I did I felt it would be a case of con str uct ive di smi s sal. Glad I did my research first. (sorry it is the paranoid in me - separated that out so it wasn't easily googlable)
Thanks girls for the support - I have quite under represented here just how awfully bad the last few weeks at work have been, even doing that I think some of you have picked up on JUST how sad and stressed I have been and have been ultra supportive. mwah x

 

[Pauls_angel]

Amanda I know crying at work sux but at least you have let them know now - praying that it all goes in your favour!!! Sending hugs to you too !!!

 

[LLPM]

Sorry Rosie! That sucks!

I had a look back through my charts today, and they all look really good (mostly triphasic) until the last day or so of each cycle...apart from my lregnancy chart! It's terrible, low temps, I only had one temp that was really high above the cover line but the rest of them sat just above it...it's the most unpregnant looking chart ever so I guess it goes to show that no matter what your chart looks like its not really a sign!

 

[Melainey]

Aww Amanda Hope everything works out well for you xxx

Squigleybum I can't wait until morning!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Manda, sounds like you might be going to get a positive outcome. It's nice to be taken seriously. And a problem can't be fixed until someone knows about it. So it all starts here!

 

[number2woohoo]

A laugh to end the day, for those not linked on FB. Stopped to help an old man at central station who was having trouble, and my bag caught my dress. The whole of platform 18 and 19 just saw my granny knickers.
On the bright side, at least I was wearing knickers.

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Hahaha so funny Amanda!! Bet you put a smile on someone's face with that!! Lol hope you're ok & not too red faced! I would have been in grundies too!!! Lol

 

[kiwipauagirl]

Good morning or afternoon ladies. I haven't had achance to read all posts just grabbing free Internet when I can. At moment having coffee in Starbucks I have noticed there is some sadness around well I too am sending big hugs from here and thinking if u all.

Jainey: welcome to oz!! I will email u later as I have some brilliant receipes to try.

My temps are slightly back to normal not crazy high like yesterday but going down a bit.

Hugs and love to u all from Poland xxx

 

[Melainey]

I just seen it on FB Amanda hahahahahahah Too funny! It's happened to me on numberous occasions ! Or the famous toilet paper out of your knickers haha ! I love those moments! x

 

[Pammy31]

ohhh the embarassment... lol

 

[Pauls_angel]

Oh dear if that was me they would have seen my bum - I only wear t-bars! Lol! I just can't stand the 'ride up your bum' feeling that normal knickers often have - seems weird but I'd rather have a shoe string sized strap positioned there already!

 

[number2woohoo]

Really Angel? Not for me, not at all, Bahahaha

 

[Pauls_angel]

I don't know why I prefer them but I do - bought some normal knickers last year just to see and wore then once and never again - they drove me nuts! I like the idea of wearing normal ones especially as they are more modest but it has just been too long since I have worn them and I can't stand them now!

 

[LLPM]

Haha angel! I can't stand those things, I like the support of my undies...my post baby bottom isn't what it used to be!

Well I'm still feeling rough but decided to sit and have some baileys & chocolate! (hubby has a night class tonight so on my own!) hoping I wake up a little less blocked up tomorrow!
