    T2D sounds like a good sign - congrats!

    Hugs Picklekin; I'm in the same position (minus the clomid). I've been told the same thing - go away & keep trying until year 3 when IVF funding kicks in. Sooo frustrating

    Walnuts in brownies are delicious.

    My IVF referral was at the beginning of July. From others experiences I probably have another 2 week wait for the funding confirmation letter and hopefully some time in September we'll go to the open evening - woohoo. At least I now something to focus on, even if it's not a real date.

    Added this onto my meal planner for next week, partly because I have a courgette glut.

    Time2deal - that would be great! Its good being back on the wagon - we thought we were on the not trying, not preventing wagon for a while...that was a bit misguided! I've got 2 more ops this year, only day/overnighters so hopefully won't be too long. My SIL has just had a baby girl, so it has fuelled the fire to get things moving in the next year.

    Pickle - the recipe looks divine, will have to add to next months meal planner

    I feel really down today :(. Should be 20 weeks this week and just can't stop thinking about it. Dreamt I was massively pg last night which definitely didn't help.

    Have absolutely no motivation to do anything and my work is just piling up. The few things I've done I've got badly wrong.

    Meh... just feeling v sorry for myself today. Want to go home to bed and stay there for a month or so.

    Awww, tea, sorry your feeling so down. Nothing I can say will fix it, but have a *hug* and maybe treat yourself to a cakey thing at lunch? Don't beat yourself up about not getting any work done.
