PM - I've moved you up the list, hope that's okay? xx


And GV - I've left you on the 'cycles ongoing' bit for now (I still have all my bits crossed for you) but let me know if you want to be taken off. xx


Everyone else - let me know if anything needs changing/updating/moving/etc. xx

isla_red

That's very creative fp! Handy your hubby could do that. Hope you have a lovely holiday

Thanks for updating the list!

tea_lover

Hope he's set himself a good reminder FP! Am v jealous you're off on hols.... can I come, I'll be good! :rotfl:

Found a recipe for chocolate orange hot cross buns last night so am planning on attempting those at some point this weekend. OH's working the whole time, as ever (getting narked about it now) so I'll be making my own entertainment. Going to attempt to drag my goddaughter to church with me tomorrow... not sure how successful that will be!

isla_red

Oooh those sound good tea! Find a suitable [STRIKE]bribe[/STRIKE] incentive for after church for your goddaughter

Haha, it's only North Wales we're off to - nowhere glamorous - but if you want to sneak into the back of the car, you're more than welcome (especially if you bring some homemade chocolate orange hot cross buns - they sound delicious!)

DH and me both work at the same place (a large Uni), I'm not 100% convinced he'll remember but if he turns up at my office at 5pm empty-handed then I'll just march him back to the other side of the campus to hoick the drugs out of the fridge!

tea_lover

Think I may need a bribe. She used to love coming with me and her mum (my sister) but she's nearly 12 now and suddenly we are so not cool anymore lol. She's 11 going on 18.

I just want to go and play with the crafts and make the Easter garden - this is why I need a child of my own :rotfl:

Sounds great FP - we went to Llandudno a few years ago and I loved it.

picklekin

Good to hear you've finally got some news PM!

I went back to the hospital again yesterday, my blood test showed HCG as 11, so pretty negative. They say my MC was "complete" and no more treatment was needed. I'm still bleeding a tiny bit but its mostly stopped (we even managed to DTD last night for the first time in a month!). Glad its all over, can move on, and my FS will let me start IVF in June.

I'm sooooooo looking forward to 4 days off, I took delivery of a BIIG and pretty hotel chocolat box the other day, which I've not been allowed to open so thats me happy :EasterBun

I'm going to paint my newly redone dining room and take my neice and nephew to the zoo and have a nice meal out with friends. If only someone can keep the weather pinned down on its current sunny setting!

Part_Mouse

Ww I really hope its a shy bfp for you,it sounds like it might just be to early.


Fp I to am very jealous of your hols, I hope you have a fab time, thanks for putting me on the list, its been a long time coming.

Pickle its good to hear your bearing up ok, I hope you enjoy your days off and of course everyone will.

I tried to get hold of fs this am to see if we could start today but no joy so will wait and try again after Easter.

tea_lover

This might actually be the slowest day ever.
