    Thanks. We have picked out light grey in a satin finish (I want to be able to clean my walls darn it, and matt paint comes off!!!) for the walls, and we will be keeping the trim, door, and box over the stairs gloss white. I'm looking forward to painting, just not all of the taping things off and taking down the roller blind/curtain rail.

    I think I'm mostly looking forward to doing something towards our future, instead of just crafts.

    I like the painting part but I HATE the prep bit- and I have a hubby who is such a perfectionist I can't get away with taking any shortcuts!!

    We need to decorate most of out house- we did the whole house when we bought it 6 years ago and its getting grubby now so needs redoing- but I like the idea of doing something towards our future- makes decorating sound more appealing.:)

    DS1 was quite a surprise as I as on the pill and we bad only been seeing each other 7 months. Roll on just over 4 years from my first BFP, we're now married and have decided we're ready for another!

    Having never planned to have a baby before, it actually feels quite scary! I'm nearly 35, so part of me thinks it might never happen, but we're going to just wait and see .

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Has anyone got a magic wand? I'm driving myself crazy this month, I know I just need to wait and see but I either have lots of symptoms or I'm imagining them because I'm so desperate to be pregnant. Sore boobs, strange cramping, slight spotting, lots of cm and generally just feel pregnant. Think I'll be devastated if this month is a BFN.

    Can I guess 5 for April please x

    Hugs Lottie.

    I'm on CD22 now and haven't had a positive opk yet. Apparently it should have arrived today at the latest according to FF. Oh well humph.

    Anyone know if there's any way to shorten one's cycles? I hate these long cycles.

    Hi, welcome!

    I hope your stay is short and sweet. :)

    Let me know what CD you are if you want to join the lists. x x

    Princess kate - exciting! fingers crossed for you! x

    Lotti - Fingers crossed that this is your month. x

    Mrs TM - I agree with the others - I would decorate neutral and buy some neutral furniture. We are currently decorating our 'spare' room at the minute, decided on just neutral colours then can add some wall art or something nursery like (if ever needed) later!

    AFM - Another month with no peak on my CBFM. thats 5 in a row now. im going back to the angus castus next month and adding in some evening primrose also. Holiday in May - once back it will be time to go to the GP.

    Hope everyone is well.

    lots of love x x

    Thanks for the lists Kelly, please may I guess 4 BFPs for April? I have been away for a few nights here and there recently seeing friends etc so have totally lost track of where I am - the lists are a godsend!

    Thanks for the lists Kelly :) Can I please be moved to 2 DPO. At least I think that's where I am based on positive OPK and cm, but temps don't confirm it at all, they're still all over the shop :( Now I'm praying that my LP is at least 12 days long... I seem to remember it being short but that was years ago when I was last off contraceptives (but not TTC).
