    Yup teacher guilt is awful. But today I have perpetual watery mouth and constantly feel like I'm going to throw up. It's horrid. I really should just put a movie on and chill out but I just can't do it. Hope you're ok for tomorrow courgette.

    confuzzled I have EVERYTHING crossed for you! x

    I am really chuffed as I have lost another 1lb...only 33lbs to go :D ...2lbs is quite good really as it has only been five days since I officially started eating healthy and exercising.
    I have been taking folic acid, EPO and a multi vit for three weeks and I shall keep up with those as my skin is starting to glow.

Anymore than that and I'll become too obsessed:o We were putting money away too but Dhs hours got reduced and we used it to pay for stuff, should really start it back up but not got round to it yet, besides I plan on having the worlds cheapest kid:rotfl::rotfl: Not talking about baby names either, we think it'll jinx it:o Although I do know that DH doesn't like my girls name but tough poopy for him I'm afraid...I've already got his Mum on side for that one:D:D:rotfl:

    I'm taking folic acid and a multi-vit. I've cut down alcohol but not got rid entirely (that way ttc obsessions arises :rolleyes:). I've lost 8lbs since the mc at the end of July :T and was getting much fitter, although it's gone to the wayside a bit recently. I've also decided to not work at home at the weekends, all school work gets done in school now (except when I'm off sick, that's a bit different). I'm also gonna shift the wedding debts asap, by Christmas at the very latest then chuck as much as the mortgage as possible to give myself maximum choice when it comes to deciding when/if to go back to work.

    Yay me, that's quite a lot! :beer:

    Oh, also trying to actively enjoy being not pregnant, so I ate an oyster on my hen do, had some brie and goats cheese this week, very hot baths etc etc etc :D

  • Put the words "baby dust gif" into Google, then click on images - it is in the third row down. x x
    :whistle: Whistle while you work...
  • :cry: It didn't occur to me I can't have scaldingly fabulous hot bubble baths if I get PG.
    That will be the only down side...I guess it will save money having tepid baths and no more bright red lobster legs for nine months. :D

    Having a bad day:(Just bought myself a Wispa and having a coffee... I'm not cutting out on coffee as you can tell. I'm not really doing anything apart from taking folic acid. I'd get obsessed otherwise like you confuzzled (oooo fingers crossed for you;))

    I want AF to stop but it just seems to be getting heavier:mad: My cycles have been really short since coming off pill so I guess this is just a not so nice reminder of mc.

    Must cheer up before Simon tonight.... can you imagine if he picks on me:eek: I'll bite his head off!!:rotfl:

    Bam... you're like a glowing ray of sunshine!! You always seem so happy and :j when posting!!:D

    I'm not sure if you really can't do it, I think health professionals just advise you not to. I think well attached little beans are a little tougher than we sometimes give them credit for :cool:. I think it's really important to strike a balance between not putting a potential bean at risk and not putting your entire life on hold. Giving up everything you enjoy can be stressful, and we all know how bad stress is...

    haha would be hilarious if you had a go at him, he doesn't seem to know what to do in those situations from what I've seen on tv of him:rotfl:
    I thought the same about Bam earlier:D:D Its nice to see some fresh optimism:D:D

    I think it should be ok so long as it's not scalding hot, as in can barely put just your foot in the bath, I used to do that a lot:o Until I found out that extreme temperatures can cause premature wrinkles:eek::eek:
