    Wilkinsons are doing all the veg you grow for 1/2 price so got strawberry plants, cherry tomatoes, carrots, courgettes, peppers, mint and all the hanging baskets plants plug and grow, was very pleased how the little one was all excited and keen to help put them in pots etc so hopefully come summer I will have fruit and veg, keep looking at them but apart from the mint spreading nothing has happened yet:rotfl::rotfl: the next door neighbour gave me some lavender plant which I have put in and the lady across the road is going to give me some of her plants.

    I have some plants that I do not what they are, anyone an expert? The neighbour has taken a couple of samples to see if her garden friend knows their names:D

    what is BBT Polka? or was it bbf? i forget but im not sure the meaning of that one there :p my friend has just been accepted into doing midwifery, im jealous! must be such a great job to do but i can imagine its like marmite, so much rubbish goes along with it.

    Im over the mothers today, we got the car washed and there was quite alot of men doing our car. One of them had a very nice body, shame about the face scenario but i had a little oggle :p

    My mum (in the kind of embarassment only mothers can produce) told the pharmasist that i am suffering with bad PMT. What a joke i sounded. He suggested vitimin B6, although what help that will do im not sure but i will try anything. He even related to me when i said i didnt want to go on the pill, horar! not many people do that but he did. Although i did have to fine tune my hearing into whale mode because he talked to quiet.

    right im babbling :p Hope everyones easter hols are going well!

    Vix Vitamin B6 helps convert tryptophan to serotonin. Basically, it helps give you more of the feel good hormone, which you obviously need a boost of when you're full of prementrual ones. I have a B6 injection once every three months (hoping to up it soon so I can wean myself off of my depression meds (fluoxitine) BBT is basal body temperature. Its the body's temperature first thing in the morning (before you even move in bed-I get it accurate by turning my head when the alarm goes so DF can stick the thermometer in my mouth:rotfl:). "Charting" it can help you predict when you ovulate-yes you do get sticks to wee on but it helps to know when to use them rather than relying on them completely.

    Lord Polka, sounds like a project! Would it not happen for you if you just had sex whenever you felt like? I guess im lucky in the fact i know when i ovulate so when i come to try for babies i will know when the good times are. I've told matt that as soon as were married were trying, ive been broody for years now. When i was a little girl i told my mum i wanted 6 babies, i used to play babies all the time and i would play a game where i could pick out baby prams and bottles ect out of the argos book to buy. So its always been in me i think!

    Vitiman B6 sounds good, he told me to take it a week before my period (like im going to remember to do that!) I feel like a failure though, having to take something to sort out something thats meant to be natural :/

    Vix - I think not going on the pill can be agreat idea - my experience of it was that is suppressed my sex drive: not enough so I realised, but when I came of it after a couple of years- I definitely noticed:D. Told GP and she said its known to all the dr's but no one else seems to realise - she said it's ironic, we put women on the pill to stop getting pregnant and then they lose interest anyway:rotfl:. Probably not all are affected this way but it's worth being aware of. However, I suppose on the other hand, an unplanned baby might have an affect on someone's sex life too:D.

    Have a fab weekend kpc.Wish I lived nearer warwick. Seem to remember saying this last year.
    dmv - what 'kids'?

    Vix I have cerebral palsy. It never did make me feel as bad as it does here in England because we didnt have public transport in SA so it was standard to get your drivers license and a car for your 18th-you started working at 16 during hols to pay for it (but I digress). Living in London, having a car is a financial burden so I've had to make do with public transport. But since I have DS and he's in a buggy (he was born in SA and went all over in a car seat) I'm hard pressed to get on a bus and end up walking most everywhere. It takes a hit on my hips and the result...I'm too sore 8 times out of 10 to "feel like it" as you say. Then there's all the medication I've had to take (throughout my life and currently) that reak havoc on my hormones. Matt puts up with a lot from me and I thank God everyday that I was the one he fell in love with. Our wedding is not coming together as we hoped it would and Im turning 30 this year-so we figured if we have a baby now, we might be able to get the family to come out here because it really will be more of a miracle than us getting married would:rolleyes:And then we could get married quietly and Christen bub at the same time. Sounds odd I know, but my whole life in general has never been very conventional:rotfl:

    VIX - I second that its a good idea to avoid the pill also. Gonna divulge too much information here but anyways...I had bad thrush every month for two years. I had every test going and tried everything, only to be told that it was just my hormones and it would eventually stop. I decided that I was too sore to have sex anyway so I "took a break" from the pill 3 months ago. I haven't had it once since! Having googled it it says that the new pills (which I was on) dont "cause" it, but it encourages evil repeated bouts of it! Am now waiting for an appointment with my doctor (who is generally brilliant) to ask why when she had me in tears for 2 years and trying everything going she didnt suggest I come off of the pill?!

    Im also with you on the broody front! We suspect we will have issues trying to get pregnant so have decided as soon as I finish uni (another 2 years after this one) that whilst we wont be "trying" we wont be using anything so will see what happens. Ideally we would like to have a couple of years of me teaching first, but as we cant expect to get pregnant straight away, we will take whatever we can get!

    BB I was looking after my neighbours kids while their working hours overcrossed.

    Have just had to run to tesco express to get a curry sauce as (luckily) i realised we didnt have any for tonight. Got my quota of uni work done again today, but am completely drained now.
