    Dusty~what is it, can any of us buy it for you, post it and you refund us, provided we can get to what ever shop/ what will it next be in stock, have you tried to ring whoever, does any one else stock it?

    Greenbee~~ the 'p' word, I hope all turns out ok for you. I thought with these stick test thingys you could test about 3 days or so after.....

    Kaz - thanks but it is a PS3 wheel and really heavy. It is the lower price at Argos, gamestation and play but OOS at all of them. It is in stock in the store by SiL and she would get it but we won't see her until 2 days after christmas. I might reserve it there and see if I can do anything else.

  • kaz one can test from about 5 days before period due, but most accurate is on the day period is due. Not very MSE to keep testing, although the temptation is vast!

    I have done nothing from my list so far, all I have done is light the fire.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    I was exactly like this a couple of weekends ago and DH was only at his Mum's!! You are doing so well, you're keeping the moral high ground. Remember though you may not feel like it, you are a stong, independent woman who can manage all sorts of hard situations. Before OH, you would be painting your nails or putting fresh sheets on the bed, or planning a lovely social. Can you distract yourself? Otherwise, meltdown to us instead.
    it's good to know I'm not the only one... I'm sitting in bed thinking about doing some work. I really do need to d
    Cup of tea, and a bit of a rest. Bath? Shower? I'm soo soo excited for you:jMaybe? When are you due to test? !!!!!!, that means I can't send you baby number three if it misbehaves:rotfl:
    not sure when to test as my cycle is very irregular at the moment. But not until OH gets back to take his share of the responsibility! you can send me number 3 in the meantime to practice on.
    Greenbee your're mixing up your homophones things are bad :eek::eek:

    Ooodles and oodles of love and hugs - the fact that you're hurting like hell is good you know, it shows just how important he is to you ;) So hoping you're with child xxx
    Thanks Dusty :D
  • Greenbee your're mixing up your homophones things are bad :eek::eek:

    Your hormones may be doing for your homophones :o Hope thisngs work out the way you want them - from what you;ve posted in the past a small-bee won;t be a complete disaster in your life :)

    HHC 15:30 - 16:00 anyone :T

    Hello! I have a snow day and it is so dark here already that I can hardly see to type!

    We have snow! About 2 inches fell overnight. Most unusual for us so close to the sea.

    We have had 5 inches (I measured the snow on top of my dustbin!) and it's still snowing now, although it's very light.
    If you can put a large bowl of luke warm water out they would be most grateful. They are strugging to find drinking and bathing water with the prolonged freeze. I just had a large gathering in the garden taking it in turns to splash by species - very funny.

    Dad put out food this morning and, instead of a blanket of white, his lawn turned into a dark blanket as approx. 60 starlings descended!


    I hope everyone is safe and hugs for all who want or need one.

    greenbee - hope things sort themselves out the way you want.

    mazz - congrats on the engagement (I'm assuming you said yes)

    Need to sort out a list in a bit as am rather behind on the flying :o

    Not here yet, but will send it over in March:eek: Take a mean, pick the nearest day and test then. Do you have a test?

    Greenbee if you are, then it is God sent (and I know OH has some involvement somewhere!!)

    I have managed to make a cup of tea and book sainbots deliv for near Christmas, maan they book up quick.

    Greenbee - do the test, you know you want to :p
    Grateful - I have booked sainsbugs too, all booked up now though

    The smallest room has been scrubbed and then I ran out of steam. I have also washed our bedding (one of the cats had walked something horrid all over it :mad:) - at least it was noticed before bedtime.

    ETA - Dusty - Staples/DHL are doing an offer for £5 for up to 10kg instore on an economy service. If Loughborough have one then I could do that for you and at least save the £15? http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/parcel-delivery-up-to-10kg-for-5-vi/815981

    My sister turned up this morning so i'm managed nothing so far today. Her heating hasn't been working since saturday and whoever is fixing it is talking of digging up the garden to check the pipes. Hopefully it will be back on tonight.:eek:

    Best think about getting dinner started and then i've all the running about to clubs tonight.

    Right i'll do a hhc in the livingroom before dinner, it's not too bad at the minute.

    Mazz congrats.
    Greenbee big hugs and i hope things work out the way you want.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Yes. I have several...but I think I at least need to leave it until OH is back

    I know... I guess we just aren't quite ready for it, but if it does happen, we'll deal with it.

    OH is very worried now... I told him I didn't want to eat chocolate because it makes me feel sicker... :D
