Hope you have been enjoying the sunshine Sath, we've not had much here today it's been a bit cloudy again. Hopefully I will be back out in the garden tomorrow!

I would love to get married abroad again mrs d but df doesn't want to. For me I just feel like we'd have to invite so many people just coz they are family. We both have huge families you see, and there are some I'd like to invite more than others so a wedding abroad would easily resolve that lol!

 

[SATH]

Oh no cloudy its been beautiful here bright blue sky all day!! Hope you get some sunshine. Long may it last.

Boo for cloud bailey, there aren't any down here.
We were quite tough when it came to our wedding, if we don't see them or socialise with them then they weren't asked. We were strictly limited on numbers at our chosen venue and we just used that as our excuse. I don't think my work was very happy coz we didn't invite any of them but hey ho, they got over it xx

I was actually quite good sath, I was at m&s so bought a load of those little tubs of salad and pasta things, lots of stuff from their deli, lots of overpriced fruit (but it's worth it coz it's ripe) and I love the olive ciabattas and they are on offer I resisted naughties except some packs of yummy cheese biscuits mmmm

But unknown to me hubby also went to waitrose today and bought barbie stuff so our fridge is full to burst

Sath that's really weird, and weird that I'm on the same level of meds and I don't have a thyroid at all. Thanks for telling me I need to be under 2

How come your mum is also on thyroxine, is it hereditary?

I had planned on pasta for tonight's tea, till I went to m&s haha

Sath and bailey do your other halves like the sun?

 

[baileybubs]

My oh likes to do bbqs in the sun but he doesn't exactly sit in the sun. Not like me lol! Plus with being a chef the hot weather makes his job really uncomfortable.
Does your oh like the sun?

Oooooh you can't beat the fruit from m&s! Worth the extra cost if you ask me. I get all mine from my local market, it's much cheaper and I find lasts longer than stuff from supermarkets. Although I bought some cherries last week that weren't so clever.

 

[SATH]

Yummy mrs d sounds like a good shop. U love m&s but im banned. It is weird that we're on the same dose i would imagine you will have to go up cos 75mcg is quite a low dose. Yeah it is hereditary normally starts in women at menopause - oh joy. I beat my gran and my mum who both got diagnosed! My sis is always hers tested but its fine shes just over weight.

My oh loves the hot weather but hes not good at sitting in the sun he burns bless him.

BBQ for us on sat no beer for me though or maybe a few sips

 

[baileybubs]

You're banned from m&s Sath lol?!

I burn in the sun too Sath but it doesn't stop me hehe! I've actually gone me of a brown colour now the red has faded lol!

 

[cupcake1981]

Hey ladies

I'm here stalking but not posting much, too tired to string a sentance together some nights let alone type one!

Glad you are all still enjoying the sun and heat, it's bloody boiling here to, I can't bear it. So hard t sleep anyway when preg let alone during a heat wave to!

Cath I'm jealous of your massage, pregnancy massages are crap, not really relaxing at all!

Mrs d your food sounds lovely I love food like that. I just had an omelette, I'll do anything to avoid using the oven!

Bailey was Millie up super early again? Glad you liked your polish!

Hey Sath grumpy bitch is always a very early pregnancy sign for me, who knows!

Hey Cheryl! You ladies are all so brave not being on the pill, I defo want a couple of years break after this one, I've been pregnant almost constantly for the last year, I need a break!!

 

[baileybubs]

I'm thinking I've been more than naive than brave cupcake lol, thinking that I would make sure we always use condoms, it's a lot easier said than done and now I've turned myself into a paranoid wreck! Stupid girl, but whatever will be will be, I can't change it now and if I'm not pregnant learn from my mistakes. I'm trying to take the view that if I am then another baby was just meant to be.

Sorry you are struggling so much to sleep Hun, I can't imagine how hard it is, after all I went through with my air mattress I can't imagine adding this heat into that equation too!

Yeah Emilia was awake at 5.30am, then asleep on the drive home which of course was me driving, so when they say "sleep when they sleep" it's not always possible lol!

 

[MrsDuck]

Whoo hoo for getting brown bailey. My dh likes the sun but not the heat too. He's fine as long as there is a breeze, but he's got ants in his pants and can't just sit in it, he's got to be doing something, which is a nightmare when we are on holiday, I never get to just sit by the pool, it's always exploring

Sath why are you banned from m&s? Haha

I agree bailey it's worth paying the extra for ripe fruit. We use little farm shops to try to support the locals for veg that we don't grow ourselves but I won't buy their fruit

Tbh I prefer waitrose to m&s (except for fruit) but I knew it was going to be nice and cold in m&s so really went in to cool off haha

Haha sath you've beaten your nan to it lol does it then get worse? Will you gradually need more as you get older or does it just plateau?

 

[MrsDuck]

At least if you are preggo bailey we get more air bed sagas haha I miss those lol

Aw cupcake not long to go now, rest up while you can hun. It has made me realise how bad being preggo through summer is. I'm glad for you our summer has started so late xx

 

[baileybubs]

Lol very true mrs d, can't believe how one person can make such a fuss over an air bed lol! I have to laugh at myself sometimes and how strange I can be haha!

 

[SATH]

Cupcake i do feel for you supposed to be in the 30's down south. Make sure you keep cool as you can. Do those cools sprays help? Bet you lurk around the fridge?

Good on you gettin a tan bailey dont you just feel better with a tan. I tell my oh tanned fat looks so much better. My diet is rubbish but weighed myself no gain but no loss!

Yep i am officially banned from m&s tight arse oh!! I darent even go near waitroses. I do sneak in though cos they do lovely deli bits.

Mrs d my oh is just like. Lie down 5 mins and he starts shall we go do this and that. I send him off to walk the beach. My thyroxine has been v static i was on 50 mcg for 6 months then tried 100 which sent me loopy hyper then been on 75 mcg ever since even though im 3 stone heavier and 20 years later. Oh to be skinny and 20 again! Random but when do you pick brocolli?

 

[MrsDuck]

Sath you literally made me lol I take it you were in the garden or else what made you think of broccoli?

Sath you and me are so alike it's scary and by the sounds of it our oh's are too

You can pick broccoli at any time, when it gets small florettes it's great for frying in butter or in stir fries, or leave it longer for the heads to get bigger, but sometimes they just flower instead of getting bigger so we just pick when we are about to cook and take it as it comes

I'm with you on the weight, my consultant said at least you'll never be fat as the consolation for not having a thyroid, but my stomach is so flabby now although I've stayed a size 10-12 and my boobs have got bigger too. That's why I've been tanning my belly the last few days, it looks smaller already haha

When I was on too much liothyronine the only effect was there was no way I could sleep

I think I'm going to like thyroxine, I already feel more human than I have for the past year

Oh sath there is no way I could survive without waitrose AND m&s

Bailey are you without an air bed altogether now? Did you give it a sacrificial burning once you had Emilia after all the grief it gave you? Haha

 

[baileybubs]

Haha lol, no mrs d I threw the burst ones (both the single and double both of which I had burst lol) in the bin. I've still got the one I managed to get from b&ms for £6, it's still inflated in the nursery haha! I fully intend to use it next time I am preggo, although hopefully I won't burst it this time

Is it hard to grow broccoli ladies? I love love love brocolli so would love to be able to grow my own. That and some green beans.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Temp up so i have def ov'd 2 days earlier than usual so fingers crossed i get a longer lp if no bfp.

Cath def chase up your appointment. If your in Wales they have to see you and either treat or make investigat within 32 weeks soz thats depressing isnt it but it should be earlier than that! In England its 18 weeks.

Cupcake cant wait to see pics of nursery lovely that you are making things so much more special.

Have a good day everyone x

Good luck Sath and i hope it's a BFP but if not, then definitely a longer lp!!!

 

[SATH]

Lol mrs d yep i had been waterin and inspecting my broccoli like a proud mama. I love stir fry tender stem yummy. I have some big florets and some little ones.

We definitely are alike spooky that are oh's are similar. Sounds like the thyroxine is better than thd other stuff. You'll know if too much makes your heart race and you just feel buzzy. Tanned flab is so much better isnt it. Im on slippery slope size 14 - 16 big bones thats what it is

 

[MrsDuck]

ttc. I see you have your appointment yay x

Bailey beans will grow anywhere they are really easy. Broccoli we have a fight with the caterpillars every year and they tend to win, but if you can keep the cabbage white butterflies away from them they are fine, they just take quite a long time compared to other veg

You and your airbeds lol

 

[SATH]

Thanks ttc.

Bailey what is this about blow up beds? I think im missing out on some stories?

Ive found broccoli easy but it takes up a lot if room will see if its worth it when we eat it.

 

[MrsDuck]

That's not big. Is your oh stick thin, mine is.

Sounds like you've done much better than us with the broccoli

Every year we plant a load of sprouts in the hope of eating them at Christmas but every year the caterpillars get the Christmas sprouts

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Ladies you will be regretting all that sun worshipping when you are wrinkley! Very bad for your skin!

Hows everyones days been? Work is boring as usual, my productivity is zero at the moment!

Amy you sound like your holiday is making you more stressed than relaxed! hope you enjoy the last few days while hubby is there!

Well im hacked off, after all my cleaning efforts on Saturday in the searing heat, were not getting an offer from the viewer as suspected, apparently her parents were financing the purchase and despite the fact that she really wants the flat, have said no because of the lack of bath.

Urgh.

And i spoke to our financial advisor earlier about coming round to sort out our life insurance, and he basically said that were going to find it almost impossible to get a mortgage while im on maternity leave as all i get is stat pay, so unless we get a buyer and get a mortgage offer approved in the next 8 weeks while im still salaried, we cant even try to sell again until after i go back to work in September 2014. Depressed.

In other news i worked out today that ive put on 18lbs so far this pregnancy which i dont think is that awful?

Yes i know...i'm bad about the sun...and i do tanning beds from time to time to if i'm getting ready to go on vacation so I don't burn. I just look and feel better when I have a little color.

18 lbs, that not bad at all. You're doing great!
