MSE Parents Club Part 12

Morning:)

3 - We went to Haven Lakeland and didn't enjoy it one bit, sorry. But maybe it just wasn't our 'thing'! That is my only experience of any Haven sites, but based on that we will never use them again, not sure if others are better though.

T had her newborn check yesterday and is perfect, apparantly:A K was very lovely and was entertaining the midwife who came to do it, she said looking at him it is no wonder we had another baby so soon.......little charmer:D

Oh and I KEEP ON CALLING HER 'HIM'!!!!! Dh asked me whether I was that desperate for a boy, especially since I was talking about having one more baby close in age, he seems to think I am trying for my 4th boy:cool:

Can't stop as SHE is wanting feeding....oh she slept lovely last night, just woke every 3hrs for a feed but went back down pretty calmly and quickly each time, so I feel more rested today, would ahve felt better if K hadn't decided 5.30a, was a good time to get up:cool:

SS, you could soon be almost neighbours with SB.

What did I miss?

That would assume that I am trying to get pregnant...I am trying NOT to get pregnant :cool:

No - I'll try to explain:

If you track BBT then it means you know the following:
a) when you last ovulated
b) the usual length of time between ovulation and your period (luteal phase length) - this is more consistent than overall cycle length
c) whether you did anything at the right time to get pregnant

Therefore if your period is later than usual you won't be wondering if you are pregnant if you
a) didn't do anything during the fertile time
b) ovulated later than usual so it isn't actually late yet based on luteal phase length

Also if you did get pregnant it should show up by you having an additional rise in temperature which I think (but not 100% - would have to look it up) would show up on your chart before you would have been expecting your period.

So tracking your temperature would cut down on the number of times you think you might be pregnant and spend loads of time worrying about it and money buying tests.

It's probably just habit because you're used to all your babies being boys.

ETA: OH kept calling Alice "he" and "him" at first because that's what we'd said before she was born and we knew for certain.

LOL Susan! I know how basal temp charting works - I am not overdue, I am on the pill and AF has visited within the last 2 weeks but I have symptoms which are as yet unexplained (and are similar to early preg symptoms). I think plotting my temps would be a bit overkill for some reassurance that I am not pregnant before I book in with the docs and/or dentist!

It would 'cost' me more in terms of effort than the 25p tests I have been doing anyway. I did have tons of them but have now run out.

Thank you for thinking of me though :A

Argh, got the Housing Officer's line manager ringing me today and i haven't made notes!! I rang and said i want to make a complaint about the way she's dealt with it so far and a nice sympathetic man agrees that she should have given me the noise equipment by now!He said he also has oisy neighbours so sympathises.

Need notes...

They are related to each other... no problems til 2nd set moved in.
They made counter complaint... i complained before Xmas
They told me they want their friend to get my house... want me out?
HO made personal comments when baby 3 weeks old, implying i was just "hormonal" and the noise wasn't there.
HO failed to take the complaint seriously and has told "them" of conversations between me & HO.
HO insists that a meeting is the only option, i am intimidated and outnumbered so feel this should not be an option.
They spat on my windows following my request to be quiet.
The male showed aggressive and threatening behaviour towards me, when i told HO she rolled eyes at me. (!)
HO has on many occasions implied or said outright that she thinks i'm only complaining to try and get a bigger house - LIES!!!! I didn't apply for a move until 5 MONTHS after my first complaint.
HO has failed to acknowledge various letters from health professionals backing up my complaint and request for transfer.
(unrelated) Told me my abusive ex would find me and my children even if i moved- disgusting comments to someone who is vulnerable.



Brain fart. Phew no phone ring yet. I feel all in a jumble. I'm tooooooooooo emotional about all this i can't talk about it without raging or crying.

Last night DS didn't get to sleep til 11pm......... because of their TV. It's affecting his fking school :mad:

Your summary notes seem pretty clear - I can't see how they could think she has been reasonable based on those. So glad you've found someone who seems to be sympathetic and taking notice of you. And if you ever want someone to go with you to a meeting about it or anything for moral support, you know I'm willing.

I see. I just thought it worth mentioning in case it was useful but I can see that it wouldn't particularly help you.

I believe congratulations are due to mel!! congrats, that piccie was lovely, x

anyone looking for a plastic playmat these are only 50p at argos, just reserved a couple, one for under the highchair and one for when jakes painting ect, think its a table cover but cheaper than buying proper playmats i think!! or if anyones having a world cup party suppose would b good for that too,

theres a glitch on tesco meal deals too if anyones interested, ive ordered lots of food and wine to arrive in the morning for a bargain price!! the info's on the grabbit board xx

Mel, you must be so used to saying him/he. You'll get used to 'her' soon!

I don't suppose you know of anywhere local that can repair laptops, before OH gets home from work?

Susan, SS is visiting UK soon to view a house which is very close to SB.

Caz, SS is here the first weekend I think. I wonder if she has any free time. However I've remembered we'reat a barbeque the afternoon of 3rd, but will be making excuses and leaving handy. (family)
