Gargh where is all the emergency chocolate?! Might be migrane, might be low blood sugar, but I can't find out!

I suddenly realised all our carefully laid plans are entirely dependant on getting pregnant as soon as we start trying.

Like you said to me, you can't live by time tables. Anywho, you never know, you might be one of the lucky people who manage to get pregnant easily. And if you *think* you might not be one of those people, just start trying a year eariler than planned or something. Try not to panic, there's nothing you can do over the future, planning just helps is seem a whole lot less scary.

Ooo, a get-a-way to Blackpool for Birdie, must be lovely in this weather!! Would not be able to control myself near those grabber machines mind.

My CC is here, all pretty covered in strawberries! Just about to book mine and OHs disney break, all excited!!

Hi everyone! Sorry for disappearing without telling you! We got up on Tuesday morning and didn't have any plans... somehow we ended up in the car going to Blackpool! We had a great time going to the Pleasure Beach and playing in the arcades... and eating LOADS! Just to add to the foodiness we then went out for dinner (steak night at the pub! Nummy num num!) with OH's parents, there was a bottle of wine included with the meal and OH's Mum was drunk after a glass bless her, it was really funny!

I'm kind of surprised that there wasn't more to catch up on; I fear that I'M the creator of all of the inane chatter...could it be???

Hope you get your plans for the self-buildy thing sorted if you decide to go ahead with it Dinah! And it's exciting that you can book your Disney trip Cinny!

Your words not mine :rotfl: joking

Glad you had a good time in Blackpool though. Ooh i love the arcades, i could stay on the 2p machines all day!

Dinah93

Glad to have you back with us Birdie, Blackpool sounds like it was fun x

Birdie85

We were actually really tight on the 2p machines, I think we only spent about 20p on them... OH spent a fortune on the punchy type game things though, he was desperate to win loads of prize tickets, we ended up with enough for a Rubiks cube- we know how to live it up!

Dinah93

Lol should have found the machines that pay out in 20ps, then you could have been laughing!

Does anyone know if Zara sale has started yet? They're my favourite!

Hey Dinah,

Got back from Paris last night. Just to say that Zara in Paris certainly has sales on because it was totally mental.

Well we managed to get from Paris to London faster than we got from London to Bracknell. There was a fire near Feltham (near Heathrow Airport) which caused the signalling to fail (good for us becuase the trains were just waiting to go and we managed to jump on one that was 50 minutes late) and then we got hit by another signal failure at Ascot (2 Stops from us). South West trains were really bad at information. I only managed to find out from my mobile and a guy at Feltham station. Ascot were worse too busy talking to actually deal with customers. 1 Lady had to travel after getting to Reading and the guard just dismissed her and said "I have been stuck on his train hours" not really useful. Total journey time from London to Bracknell - 20:10 till 23:05 (nearly 3 hours to do a journey of 60 minutes!)

Time to start writing a long letter to train company with copies to MP and Secretary of State for Transport becuase South West were shocking!

Paris was good but expensive for food. We were careful where we ate and were more interested in water. The Places de la Concorde was roasting!
