Haha, well I'm a very honest person... unfortunately that often translates into being blunt and tactless

Bec, a friend of mines little sister is due in October, and I am insanely jealous. Worse than that though, I feel like that interfering older woman who keeps giving her advice she's really, really skinny, and although I know you don't literally need to eat for two, it doesn't even seem like she is eating for one! She has the gender scan in a week or two, and doesn't even have a bump - the only thing that has changed is that now she has an outy belly button instead of an inny! And I have a sneaking suspicion that my best friend will be announcing bump #2 soon. Feel like tearing my hair out!

Job prospects may be looking up slightly. Interview with Santander for their grad scheme on Friday afternoon, and OHs friend from work happens to know a partner in a law firm in coventry, so he is passing on my CV and having a word for me. They do say it's not what you know, but who you know, so hoping this pans out nicely. FX'd.

OH has been obssessing over getting a new place to live. We'd still be renting, but he wants somewhere with a garden so we can have a dog can't seem to find a landlord that is ok with pets, so looks like a no go. He has surprised me though, by checking whether the landlord is ok with there being kids in the property... bad news is, a lot seem to be saying no, which I'm sure is a little outside the restrictions they are allowed to put on leases.

Sorry to babble on! I'll be handing out medals for those who manage to read it all! x x

 

[DJ987]

Can I get one of those medals please? good luck with the job prospects!! Get some pounds rolling in!

Thanks Bec! one of my Best friends is due #2 in October and I am also insanely jealous!! it will be our turn soon

5dpo today woooop! I had cramps on the bus (I don't think I was imagining it) and I'm absolutely starving despite having eaten breakfast! So tempted to go get a cooked breakfast from the cafe! Or maybe a big fat hot choc with cream on? Yummy!

Hope we are all well and good this morning! xxx

 

[Sushai]

Thanks girls for your comments.

Leah I totally get were our coming from. Since we moved our date up thats all i keep thinking about. To make things worse we got the Babys R us catalogue in the mail yesterday and I fell in love with a pram and cot!!!

Cant wait for November, hopefully time flies by for all of us.

I got the broodiness a bit out of my system at the moment. Joe is a nightmare at night at the moment, he just won't go to sleep without me being in the room and cuddling him. *roll eyes* I had a little cuddle with my mates daughter when I was in Germany and thought "upsi, she's a bit boring she doesn't do anything". lol I'm so used to have Joe on the go around me all the time that I totally forgot that little babies can't do that. lol

Leah that's fab news about your exam results. Well done. x

Danielle...I got my fingers tightly crossed for you that you got lucky. x

Well German food is LUSH. lol But I guess I have to say that cause I'm German. lol I miss our bread the most...it's much darker, with a really hard crust and it's much harder in itself. My stomach can't handle the british bread very well, I makes me sick and bloated, that why I say clear of it most days. Other than that we got the good old Bratwurst (a sausage), of course schnitzel (breaded meat), Kartoffelpuffer (potatoe pancakes), Sauerkraut, schnitzel in a creamy sauce with cheese...OMG I'm hungry now. lol Thank god Tesco Delievery should be here soon and I can get something to eat. =]

 

[Princess_LV]

New tickerage!

Negotiating (aka Nagging) gets me everything I want LOL. I think this will be the last time it changes though, as realistically we can't afford to do it any sooner... still, exciting!!! x x

 

[MrsMac01]

Wow-wee! That's great news Leah. Very, very exciting stuff. I doubt there's any chance of my DH moving our date forward even one day! lol Good on you! Xx.

 

[DJ987]

Still not long for you though Bec! I'm so excited for everyone!

This 2WW is doing my head in now. Good job I'll be half way through tomorrow! xx

 

[welshwarriors]

Yeah Danielle....not long and then we all got our fingers crossed that the stays away.

I'm kinda broody today, properly cause Joe slept through the night, we went Ikea shopping yesterday and I had a lovely lay in. lol All good stuff.

 

[DJ987]

Aww sounds good Anna I feel absolutely shocking today, but am still holding out on the testing until Friday! Well so far anyway

What does everyone have planned for this week? Work work work for me! Just counting down to Friday really, stay away !!!

 

[welshwarriors]

Whooohooo friday....I'm gonna have my fingers crossed for you. x

Not much. I need to pack a 50th b'day parcel for Joe's godfather (my uncle) and send it, wait for hubby's replacement phone to arrive, might do some paiting with joe, go to my friends house tomorrow for some cake and if i feel total crazy i might even bake myself. lol

gonna get the monster bathed now and get our dinner on the way. lol x x x

 

[pink23]

i really would of caved by now danielle. Yey for joe sleeping anna. I look forward to the night caleb doesn't wake for a bottle. Just job hunting for me and docs tomorrow x

 

[MrsMac01]

Wow Danielle, you are doing really well not to test!

I am definately not a fan of waiting... but who is I suppose! Luckily you have work to keep you busy during the week. It'll help the time go by faster. Only 5 more weeks of the school term until holidays! THAT is exciting. (I will just forget to mention that I have to write 6 classes worth of reports before that time... ).

Xx.

 

[Princess_LV]

6 classes worth of reports? Wow. I used to play teachers with my brother when we were little, and pretending to do reports was always my favourite bit

I have 6 weeks left until my final set of exams start... feels like i've only just finished the first lot! Can't wait until it is done and dusted now though. Seems like this last year has been a slight waste of time, as I won't be able to get a training position until 2012 now, but at the same time, I'm glad to have bothered, because I don't think I would have come back to do it if I had had a baby first, I'm just not motivated enough!

Had my interview with Santander on Friday afternoon. Seemed to go quite well, so fingers crossed I get invited to the 2nd round... that would really make my week! x

 

[welshwarriors]

Hiya girls,

my broodiness is back. lol For me it's pretty much set as soon as hubby comes back from the Falklands in Feb next yr we gonna start trying for number 2. I don't want to be alone in my pregnancy again that's why we are not starting now. I don't think I could cope without hubby and having Joe running around like a mad person. lol
I'm kinda excited...I loved being pregnant the 1st time around, so hopefully my pregnancy will be as fab as the last one, except from the 10wks of sickness, I don't need that again.

@Danielle....OMG just 2 more days and you can test....so exciting. Gonna be thinking of you when I give Joe his breakfast that morning. lol

Fingers crossed Leah that your interview went well and you get invited again. x x
