Hey chick, lovely house! *toddles off to convince OH a house would cheer her up*

I wouldn't worry about AF being to short, as long as your body is 'clearing out' to a certain extent I would think its fine, my AF went from very long (7-8 days) to very short last cycle (3 days)
I think our bodies just differ in the amount of hormones released from month to month, and B6 will alter stuff too.

We definitly wont be heading to NZ this year although fingers crossed we should be able to get out there spring next year.

How's life 'back home' going? (apart from working round the corner from mother and baby fest!)

Things are good here, I'm really enjoying being at home again, great to be near family and friends. Loving being so close to the beach again, that's one of the things I really missed when I was in England.

Strange thing about working in a capital city again though, here's me ttc and everyone else I"m working with my age are all going out every night getting drunk, at a totally different place in their lives to me! They'd be shocked if they knew what I was obsessing about!

To be honest, if we could get our UK house sold and get DH a job he wanted things would be perfect but we just picked the absolute worst time to do all of this - can't control everything though. But I swear if my sister says one more time that everything happens for a reason, I'll throttle her!

So sorry NZ won't happen this year Farie. Very jealous of you doing something so adventurous though!

Hi hun, i agree that you had a nice house and if the market wasn't so bad, i'm sure someone would have snapped it up! Hope someone wants it soon and your OH gets a job he wants! xx

Thanks guys - I love my house, it's just in the wrong country!

OH found out today that he didn't get the control room job because he was told it was "beneath him" and he has been asked to go in to see them tomorrow so that they can "bounce some ideas around". Apparently the owner of the firm, the md and operations manager spent a couple of hours today discussing DH today and they want to speak to him tomorrow. I'm hoping to God they wouldn't ask him to go all the way over to see them again (for the 4th time!) if they're not planning on offering him a bigger and better job. I'll be gutted if he comes out of it tomorrow without something, I'd hate to think what DH would be like. Keep everything crossed please girls!

Farie

Fingers tightly crossed for you and DH

I did have legs/feet crossed as well but I needed to get to the kitchen to eat another Cadburys chocolate trifle! If it all goes wrong you can blame my obsession with choc desserts.....................

tansey

That sounds really good! Hope he gets something great for both of you! xxxxx

You've left your journal on a right cliff hanger!!! How did DH get on? REALLY hope he's been offered a wonderful job and you're out celebrating x

Well we don't have any definite answers yet about a job for DH but they brought him in to interview him for control room manager! They told him he was far too intelligent and driven to do the control room operator job but they think he'd be ideal for manager! The manager handed in his notice earlier in the week and they legally have to advertise it for 3 working days internally before offering to an external candidate so that runs out on Monday. One guy internally has already applied so they're interviewing him on Tuesday but apparently 'it's unlikely he'll get it' and they're not advertising externally. It's obviously not totally in the bag but the guy did say a couple of things like "timing's a strange thing isn't it" and "you didn't get the other job, but this is the silver lining". So really really hoping - you're all to keep things crossed now, no running to the kitchen for nice things!

Other than that, looks like she's pretty much disappeared so now it's just waiting for ov time. Determined we're going to bd loads this cycle and not just around ov time, it's getting to be too much of a trend now. Keep telling myself we have other things on our mind other than bd but I don't want it to become a habit!

Lovely day here at the moment and I want to do some exercise, put on about half a stone in the last couple of months and need to get rid of it. Not a gym member though and I hate running so not sure what to do! I'm used to going to gym classes but can't afford it right now. Any cheap and cheerful cardio ideas except for jogging?!

tansey

Ahhhh it all seems to be working out!
I have the same problem as you re working out! I am currently using little weights while sitting on couch so that i don't have bingo wings in my wedding outfit in 3 weeks - just 15 mins a day will supposedly help me. Also try to go for a walk - any hills by you? I go the furthest shop for the paper (not chocolate).

Farie

Ok .. I promise no more choc trips to the kitchen ... everything is crossed!
Weight loss with out running ... ummmm ...difficult as I run, but OH has just bought me a exercise ball (think birthing ball but bought slightly prematurely .. still at least I'll have one when I need it!)
It was £10 on ebay .. brand new and apparently really good for toning etc ... we will see! Wii fit! that's the way forward!

and lots and lots and lots of for this month
