Thank you Katt!! Think I just needed to offload!! We used to be fine for money when we were students and even when we were both out of work for the year after leaving uni, but now we are both working and I earn a decent amount (dh not so much) we are this skint!! Sometimes I wish we had never bought our house, as is double th rent was on our old cottage.
It would be ok if me and dh were getting on, but while he thinks we are fine I feel like there is something amiss, we never seem to have any fun anymore at home it's all worry and drudgery. Tbh I don't think another baby will cost us too much, we still have all the stuff we had with the boys like cot etc. Just wish it would happen!!
I am sorry you are having a crappy time too. At least we have here to come and let it all out!! My diet has gone out of the window already, am too fed up to even bother, although we have no cash so no goodies around lol!
Right! Enough moaning from me. Am going to think of ways to have fun with boys in holidays for free and somehow rekindle my relationship!!
Hope you are feeling better Katt!

Poppy, sorry you are having such a rubish time at the moment. I do know the feeling, if I am honest we can't afford to have another baby, but the want if far greater, so we will just have to manage come hell or high water.
I had a bad morning this morning, dd was terrible, screaming, crying, spitting! DH was a pain in the ar$e, everything feels like it is going wrong at the moment. I told them both this morning that I didn't feel like coming home, I didn't mean it though, I soon back tracked after I had 20 minutes to think about what I had said.
I have just started with The Body Shop at Home to see if I can make a few quid before Christmas, it will give me a different focus for a while and take my mind off ttc.
Hope you day gets a bit better.

Aaaww Katt! I think there is something in the air!! Everyone is soo fed up!
I don't hold out a huge amount of hope for this month either. I decided this month that I would take control of our finances and did a budget on Sat. Normally I just get my pay, spend far too much and am skint by halfway through the month and dh bails us out!!
This month I did a budget before I got paid and realised that we have £100 after bills for the whole month!!!
I use at least £50 a week on petrol but luckily am two weeks off this month so we will have about £20 for food for the whole month WTF!!!! And it is my neice and nephews birthdays this month so have to buy presents. As you can imagine ours is not a jolly household at the moment so I can't see us being much in the mood for bonking either!Life sucks just now. Feel so guilty that all my kids friends are talking about where they are going for the holidays and I know I can't even take mine out for a day - we will spend two weeks sitting in a (cold) house with nothing to do.
Sorry to moan and I know I will find things to do like painting and baking etc, but they are really getting a bit old for the whole cheap arts and crafts thing!!
Gosh, not sure where that rant came from!!! Must have been building up since Saturday!!

Morning
What are we doing on page 6?!
Bonking not going well, only done it twice this month! We will tonight, we made each other a promise.
I'm fed up to be honest, I'm not going to symptom spot, I don't think there will be much point. I think I'm out again this month.

I know, but don't reckon my cm is that sperm friendly!! So going to try every second day to be sure!!
Katt, I have just realised you are on the 2ww now!!! Time to start symptom spotting again soon!! Hope your dh's bits are set to drop off from too much bonking!!
Am sooo jealous Luchi, I remeber that and it was just sooo special, enjoy!! Can't beleive how fast its going, you will have a little bundle in no time and me and Katt will still be here knicker checking and symptom spotting like old crazy women lol!!
Not really cos we are having July babies!!!!!!! And that is FINAL!!!!!

poppy, remember that sperm ca live inside you for up to 5-7 days! you dont have to do it on cd14 for your only chance to catch! i always made sure me and dh didnt keave more that 3-4 days in between bonking, that way i knew i was covered if i happen to ov in the in between days!
katt, there is no reason why it wont happen for you again, as poppy said, you have done it before, i think it is just all down to timing. the baby might not be ready to come to you yet! send out 'baby come hither' vibes, and he/she will get the message!
i am back at work on thursday
am going to get a support belt thing on wednesday morning, so hoping that will help the spd, there is no doubt it is getting worse!have been feeling the baby kicking more regularly, and squirming, still very light, like little vlips, bit defo there!
am now confused in regards to my check ups, i had my booking in app with mw, where we decided i should transfere to consultant led care after having cholestasis with aiden. i had my dating scan, and downs testing, but now i dont see anyone till 20 weeks, when i have sexing scan and see consultant of rthe 1st time! surely i should see someone in the 7 weeks inbetween both scans???
am calling the mw team tomorrow when they are at my dr surgery and see what they say!
hope you are having a good day, i looks like it is about to chuck it down here, so i suppose i should get rhe washing in!!!

Just remeber Katt, you have a dd already, so you work and your dh obviously has at least some good swimmers. Actually having the mc has kind of pur our minds a bit more at rest, as ds's are not dh's natural children so at least now we know his sperm are not tottally useless and the nurse said that it is clear that I can carry to term, so is just a matter of time.
That said I have such huge hopes for this month it is going to be sooo hard if it doesn't happen! Even though I know odds are against us with dh being away on cd 14!!
Need to stay positive though, it WILL happen for both of us, and hopefully soon!!!
Have posted my weight too
Never want to see that on the scales again!!29/9/08 09:24
I know what you mean, I have everything mapped out, to work around school and things, but I am going to have to scrap that now because nothing is happening! I am really worried that it just won't happen for me.
I have posted on our diet thread this morning, and have put my weight on! EEKKK!! It's scary!

Morning!!
Yes, I am glad she has arrived. But not hopeful for this month anymore, if we did fall this month it would be perfect as would be due right at the start of July and the School holidays here, so boys would be around for baby coming home.
Well, got on the scales today and actually have exactly four stone to lose

Glad diet going well, mine starts today, so we shall see!!

Morning ladies
Poppy, at least she is here and now you won't be wondering when she is going to arrive, just get bonking when you can girl!
How are you Luchi, are you back at work?
My diet is going ok'ish - bd'ing not too bad, didn't manage Friday but did Saturday and will for def tonight. So fingers crossed.

28/9/08 12:28
witch arrived last night, on the one night I didn't want her!!!!
However much prefer that to her staying away for another few weeks lol!! Have made dh promise that will bd before he leaves on the Friday and as soon as he gets back on the sat!!
Diet starts tomorrow then, let's hope I only need to do it for a month!!
26/9/08 20:39
good luck dieting you too!
i am getting new eyes tomorrow (getting contacts again, i hate glasses!) and will go swimming at some point! thats about all we have planned!
have a red bull katt, and hop to it!!!!
26/9/08 18:43
We are going out for a meal tomorrow night DH's dad has retired, then my neice's birthday party on sunday, already fretting about what I can eat!
Ok, will make a thread for us! see you there x
26/9/08 18:42
No sign of af, hoping she comes on Monday which would be 28 days since mc.
No plans this weekend, really bored and wish I did have plans but hey! How about you?
26/9/08 18:40
Yes that would be good, didn't even know there was such a place!!
26/9/08 18:39
I know, I am going to go for a shower, if I have a bath I will be asleep!
Are there any signs of af yet? hope she stays away as long as you need her to.
Are you doig anything nice this weekend?
Do you want to be diet buddies? Shall I make us a thread in diet and fitness?

26/9/08 18:36
I have three and a half to lose as well, although not been on the scales for a while so may be a bit more now lol!!
Have yourself some energy drinks and get to it Katt - will be worth it in the end!!
26/9/08 18:32
I was shocked when I got on the scales, I want to lose 3 1/2 stone to be honest, but I am just looking forward to losing my first stone, that will be amazing.
What about you?
I am so tired tonight but have to do the deed!
x
26/9/08 18:25
I joined a dieting thread on here today too Katt!! Was thinking exactly the same. I start on Monday, so going to make the most of the weekend before braving the scales!!
How much are you hoping to lose Katt?
Luchi that is fab!!! It is the best feeling in the world!!!! I want it again!!!!!!
Am sooo bored right now, not collecting dh from work til seven and just bored waiting for then!!





















Morning ladies
Poppy, that's what we are here for, you off load all you like. Are you feeling better about things today?
How are you Luchi, are you back at work today?
I am feeling a lot better today, I went to have coffee with a friend yesterday, she is due to give birth in 3 weeks, I thought I would feel really jealous, but I didn't, it just makes me more determined to get a bean of my own! We did the deed last night which is another reason I feel better, fingers crossed it works this month, but if not, I will try, try, try again!!
Hope you are both having a good morning.
