Amazing!!

 

[fletch_W]

girls!

just stopping in quickly before we go see my in laws. i love what i do with my spare time. i only work part time and i get a top up and part housing benefits to help me as hubby cannot work at the mo but after christmas he can! so i dont like to spend my spare time sat on my backside like all the regular 'spongers' and as soon as i can get off benefit help i will. i will still always work part time as i want to still work when i have a baby but hubby will work full time next year to support us. but anyway doing the homeless thing and helping out as much as we can with the new church and we help my mum with her day time job so im never ever at home lol. its so degrading being on benefits and people saying 'your husband doesnt work how do you afford the rent on your own' ugh. nosey bar stewards! but i suck it up and do my bit and so glad im not in the stereotypical 'dole dosser' category.

not quite sure why i ranted then but wanted to explain why i dont work full time etc.

my coffee with preg friend went so well. i even managed to buy her something for baby!! and got a little excited whilst buying which is amazing cos i usually cannot even walk past baby things. she was so great, she told me to go on babyhope.com and stuff but i told her were using opks and the lube and she said she did the legs on the wall thing like bailey hehe. so im super excited about this month!

aah! i forgot hubbys tally wacker is great. his ball is still twice the size but not painful. he forgot about his appt as i wasnt in and im normally the one who reminds him (youd think he was 3 and potty training the way he forgets) so he has to go in at 9 on monday. hopefully if we dtd tonight it wil be enough to get rid of old spermies and start every other daying. lube should come tomorrow or saturday too so in time for next week. he is excited about trying this month. he has a good feeling as things seem to be looking up for us.

enough about me. how are you all?

mrs duck how are you feeling today?

cupcake hope your day at work is better than tomorrow.

cheryl i hope your sickness goes away. im a massive fan of keith lemon but only on celeb juice. i wanna see anna kerenina and lawless. i have a very eclectic taste in films haha.

cath!! i remembered a guy i like! kevin costner! haha he is such a boring actor but dayum! and bruce willis!

[cathgibbs]

I'm doing ok thanks fletch, a delivery man has just turned up with a huge delivery of fruit for me, a get well gift from the girls at work, which is lovely but it's super duper ripe so we'll have to eat it quickly before it goes off..... Give us a couple of days and we'll both have the shits xx

 

[ShellieLabTek]

glad u enjoyed your lunch mrs D. I donno what kievs are (I guess I missed that post!), but I do suddenly have a craving for eggs. I think we have one lonely egg left in the fridge if I remember correctly. Maybe I'll make a little omlette?

cheryl you should go back and get them to change your meds!

mummy2 hopefully it'll turn out your were snappy with your dd because you have another one (or DS) growin in ur belly controling your hormones!

Cath that sucks you have to spend so much to go to a wedding your not even all that excited about going to. Me and OH haven't been together 2 years either so tell your OH to put a ring on it lol

Cupcake hope you had a good day at work

Poppy my future MIL has her birthday on december 5th and her whole childhood her gifts were combined which i think is not fair. You should seperate them since you wouldn't do it for a child who's birthday is in June! My dad's is dec 27th and we always get him two gifts. This year thou we are combining it only because we are all chipping in to get him a massive bbq grill with smoker and a bunch of other stuff. He loves grilling (he also works in a slaughterhouse) and it's very expensive so I think it's ok for this year. I'm sure he'll forgive us lol. and this gift was all my OH's idea. He's been talking about it since the dad he met my daddy!

AFM I'm 6-7DPO, and I'm a little confused this morning with my temps. I thought I took my temp just fine, but after seeing the number I wonder if it was actually a number stored in its memory from yesterday? if it was a real temperature, then my temp sky-rocketed after a dip yesterday. After O my temps were in the 97's. Yesterday it dipped below the coverline, down to 96.6 (implantation dip?), and today is now 98.2?? Thats a crazy increase if it was my actual temp. If it's real it's an awesome sign, but I almost wonder if I didn't turn it on properly and its actually a temperature from during the day yesterday since I think during the day I was around 98 point something ... I guess I'll have to see what tomorrows temp is. If it's no where even close to that number, I'm going to assume I screwed up todays temp.

Also for a little while this morning I felt like I might be getting a UTI. but right now I feel fine so I guess it was a momentary feeling? I really dont want one again, they suck!

 

[fletch_W]

mrs duck. i wish i could eat fruit more. but when i do my gums swell really bad and have no idea what causes it. it happens when i eat fruit you bite straight into. like apples and nectrines and peaches. gutted cos i love them! oh and celery but never liked that anyway.

why cath? lol im always justifying my life i need to stop. but i live in a block of absolute dossers. cannot wait to go private. i feel my life is as shitty as theirs

shellie kievs are garlic butter in the middle of a chicken breast covered in breadcrumbs

temps is one thing iv always wanted to try but i dont think i have the will power and self discipline to do it every day :/

 

[cathgibbs]

Lol MrsD!! atleast all the crap will come out of you then.....quite literally!

Its the way you had a little rant and then said that on the end its something i would do/say aswell hun!!! oh believe me your not like dole bums i see!!i thought you did work full time!!

Shellie when will you be testing hun#?? everything sounds positive so far!!! xxx

 

[MrsDuck]

Shellie kievs are chicken filled with a garlic butter with a breadcrumb coating and all the girls had a craving for them and just about everyone went out and bought some for dinner.

I hope you don't get a uti and your craving for eggs and your temp soar is a good sign x

Aw fletch that's weird I love fruit (luckily) I'm a bit crap with veg I eat it but don't really like it but I love fruit x

Fletch you don't have to justify yourself to us hun xx

Afternoon ladies!

I am well happy as I am off work now until Saturday night (doing another night shift now but only 10pm til 8am) then off all day Sunday too and oh is also off yay!!

Mrs d - ooooh I love fruit of all kinds (except melon oddly) and sometimes I eat far too much of it!! I am the same with you with the veg, I can take it or leave it. Glad you enjoyed your lunch out, what did you end up having?

Cath - that sucks about the wedding! Tell oh to buggar off lol!! At least its an excuse to get dressed up though.

Fletch - I agree with other ladies, we definately dont think you are a dole dosser and you work really hard in everything else that you do so dont be silly!

Cupcake - yay its friday tomorrow, almost the weekend and almost September too so closer to those vaccines and your baby making holiday lol!!

Shellie - ooh the temp rise is a good sign, have PMA hun, it wasnt a mistake it was a real rise in temp coz that eggy implanted!!!

Cheryl - that sucks about the tablets! I'd be on the phone having a go if I were you!! Why prescribe them for you if they arent safe? Its a good job you googled!! Glad you are resting today hun xx

Mummy2 - again the snappiness is another good sign!! I am so looking forward to all these bfps!!! So when you say you are testing on Sunday morning, thats Saturday night here right?

Poppy - I love Christmas!! I love the idea of being pregnant at Christmas too, I dont know why lol!! But I hate British winter, would be awesome if we got like proper snow and white christmases instead of dull rainy and windy ones. On the brightside though I would rather be heavily pregnant in cold weather than hot weather!

Everyone else I hoep you are all well!! How is everyone else doing?

You know I am also on a couple of other threads, but no matter what I say or how nice ladies are on there I still feel most at home here and no other thread compares. I dont know why but even when people do include you on other threads it just doesnt feel the same as on here lol!! So, in answer to your question Cath, I really really hope we do all keep in touch and keep bnb'ing in future no matter what!! Love you ladies!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw bailey that's such a lovely post xx

I love this thread too everyone is soooo nice xx

Yay for you having some time off you deserve it, and oh off too yay xx

I ended up having a pizza coz they looked scrummy and it was then since I've been home I've eaten some grapes, some cherries, a plum and a nectarine, I'm going to be on the loo all night x

shellie kievs are garlic butter in the middle of a chicken breast covered in breadcrumbs

temps is one thing iv always wanted to try but i dont think i have the will power and self discipline to do it every day :/

i never temped before m/c and since i've only managed to do 3 cycles, this one included. i have horrible sleep patterns so its not the best senario for temping but i try. I have my thermometer sitting on top of a little box right infront of my clock blocking part of the numbers so if i wanna see the time properly i have to move it.

and we just call kieves garlic butter stuffed chicken! lol ... how creative are we? lol

and have to say Fletch you're amazing for what you do! Giving back even when right now you and OH are in a rough patch financially. I would be where you are if it wasn't for OH's mom helping us out, as I too am only part-time, but I don't think i could be so generous as you! It took him almost a year to find work after being laid off due to cut backs at his old job. Found one a few weeks before the m/c, and this week he's started full-time hours. It's still for a temp company but either way it's better then where we were early this year. Some ppl take advantage of situations like yours. I have a cousin who works but gets paid under then table and still gets the government to give him welfare because on paper he has no job. And he smiles and laughs like its something to be very proud of! I was disgusted. Taking money away from those who really need it, who are trying but right now are struggling. He must have learned it from his parents. always crying about how poor they are, cant buy groceries, cant pay bills. But they go to every new movie when it comes out in the theatres and there house is always full of pizza boxes and fast food trays, and always getting new stuff when they don't need it! His mom is the one I got in an argument last week because she was pissed I didnt personally call her and couldnt find it in her to congragulate us on our engagement, just complained.

And i made my omlette and it's now safe in my tummy ... it was a little burned thou as I think i gave the pan to much credit for being non-stick and only had a little oil in it ... oh well i kinda like cheese when it's burned a bit, kinda weird i know. Put half an onion in there lol. carmalized onions yummy

Oh gosh I think the omlette is giving me freaking hot flash right now. It's only 23 celcius in the kitchen, and I'm basically in my undies (I'm home alone so what!? lol) and I'm dying of heat!!!!!!! I didn't feel so hot while I was cooking. Maybe I need to have a cool shower, and since OH will be home in about an hour and a half, I need it too look like I haven't been lazy all day (even thou I have been lol) while he's been at work. And I'll sneek off before he comes home next door to the grocery store and buy some stuff so I can make him a lasagna tomorrow - apparently I make the best one in the world according to him! But my banana cream pies try to kill him lol go figure ... Only 1 more day after today of my vacation gotta work this coming weekend and it's a long weekend too. Mondays are the worst at work on a long weekend. Just as much work as a normal monday, but not as many ppl working!!!!! I'll be working in blood bank, I hope no one decides to bleed to death this weekend!

 

[MrsDuck]

Garlic butter stuffed chicken haha that's a bit of a mouthful

I am a useless sleeper, every sound and I'm awake, then coz I'm awake I go to the loo so temping would never work for me

I'm all for benefits for when people need them, that's what they are there for, but when people take the piss it annoys me

I'm glad you liked your omelette and I hope your hot flush is a good sign xx

Enjoy the last of your vacation xx

 

[MrsDuck]

It's very quiet again tonight x

 

[cupcake1981]

Hi everyone

Hope you're all ok tonight! I just got in an made a mushroom omelette (inspired by Shellie!), hubs is at football for a bit (hopefully no lost keys situation tonight!). Bit worried as I submitted my self appraisal to my boss today......think I may have been a little too honest but I don't see the point in being anything else! Eek he didn't talk to me all afternoon either!

Mrs d glad you enjoyed ur little trip out, yummy fruit....did you get bananas? Put them in banana bread, yummy!

Bailey yey for time off! What will you be up to? Resting for some of it I hope! Bailey I hope this thread continues until we all have our babies in our arms and beyond!

Shellie I don't know much about temping I can't be bothered with it, and someone told me that you raise your temperature just by lifting your arm out of bed to pick up the thermometer! Still everything helps huh, hope you get a bfp this month hun x

Mummy the snappies is def a good sign!! I had them so badly with my hubs I was a monster and I'm never normally like that!
