    Thanks QQ and Teenie - I know there's never a perfect time so we'd cope with whatever happens.
    QQ when you say you could manage a full year do you mean you have saved a full year of proper wages or a full year with not full wage but 'extra' money for baby each month? I have around £5k saved which I am going to surprise OH with when the time comes, this is allowing for around £400 'extra' cash each month. He has just taken a new job which is lower paid, so I would want to add more to my savings in the 9 months of pg sort of thing.
    My work would only have basic maternity pay, v small company, unless they were to wangle their way out of it!

    It might be my last ov day today and still some CF, still have lower cramps though so not sure. However, my temperature soared last weekend and isn't that supposed to happen *after* ov??

    Positive mental attitude.
    Well, constant cramps, highly sensitive sense of smell, and today really bad nausea after eating, and err wierd one had marmite with pineapple. Constant erect nipples (very odd for me)
    Feel like I need to pee all the time, but not much there to pee.
    Good vid links

    Full year if I cut down on spending:D I've been ttc for a long while now:whistle:
    That's if I'm out of work without DH (and without benefits or DH's child support):o
    I can stretch it further if I move in with my parents, in which case I can live for a long while parents depending:p

    I don't think it'll be like that though, but just in case;)

    Oooh, that does sound promising :j When is your testing date Pawpurrs?

    I had to force myself not to POAS this morning. Lay in bed for 15 minutes bursting for a wee and telling myself all the reasons not to do it so soon. :think:

    I'm not due to test until Tuesday. I just wish Tuesday would hurry up even though I don't think I'm pg. I don't feel any different to last month before AF arrived :(

    Hi pawpurrs, fingers crossed for you! Sounds like lots of things all at once, might be coincidence, might not...
    Wonder Womble how do you know what day to test - is it based on exact 28 day cycle?
    QQ that's a really good amount, are you allowing for no work/ no DH / no benefits as worst case scenario sort of thing? Maybe I should do that too, would need to ramp up the savings! As it is I think he'll be surprised I have been this organised re: cash, but it's meant not going places /not buying clothes etc to afford 6 months - 1 year off so we'd then hopefully in a calmer place during that time.
    OH is in shower now... hmmm! :D:p
