So sorry for your loss Smores

Oh and thanks to all those who asked about my singing, I'll update you on how that's all going soon. It's kind of unusual in that I sing with a group of women doing sea shanties! Not the sort of music I would listen to but great fun to sing. We also do some old blues type stuff, mainly what would have been work songs. The…

Huge congrats to batgirl and DT! Welcome to Pokee, that's a really interesting fact! Hope your dogs are on the mend destar, hope you get a break and some time for yourself when you have all that necessary stuff out of the way. Sending sticky thoughts Julia! I have the same thing at times Pam, all I can generally do is…

sorry, new laptop, not really got the hang of it yet! what I meant to say was that maybe the experience of staying with someone else was tougher than he expected and he just wasn't ready for it and probably needed you to say it wasn't working out. It isn't for everyone and I'm sure he couldn't have been made more welcome.…

Quick on from me too as I've been away then working this weekend so not entirely with it. I completely second Jalara's point on physical interventions. What may work for one person might not be so safe or effective for someone else and keeping ourselves and our future babies safe and healthy is what it's all about. Luki,…

Mine's the 26th so on a saturday yay! Happy birthday for the weekened Karen. Shame about your student Luki, you seem to have had such positive experiences before it's a real shame to have a difficult one. Enjoy the break and time with your dad though. Congrats on the 2 pounds! Your group sounds really good MrsJ, let us…

Hi all, Sorry to hear so many of you are having a tough time and congrats to everyone picking themselves upo and getting back into it all! Amanda, your family situation sounds pretty rough, well done for keeping your cool! I've been in the same sort of emotional roller coaster place as some of you recently. I'm tearful a…

Two BFP's, that's so exciting! Many congratulations Alisa and Smores

That's great news Pam! Fingers crossed for you Smores

Sorry it wasn't the best news Pam but it sounds like you've made some excellent plans for the next few months and that's such a great attitude to it all. Glad to have you back:flowerforyou:

Fingrs crossed for you Luki! Emily, I'm so sorry for what you're going through (and all those in a similar osition). I can completely understand how horrible it must be. Alisa, I had the exact thing when my OH came back from each deployment. I would be so happy to see him and then found that it was really hard to adjust to…

any time *g*

My partner and I talk about roles a lot, like Luki in a dreaming sort of way. I think I'll have most of the responsibility and because I've worked with tchildren so much he thinks I'm the expert. I've been trying to explain that it won't be like that at all with our own! He's been trying rerally hard to take a more active…

Kim that's fantastic news! I'm so thrilled for you! Many congratulations. Jalara, I'm so sorry that things are so rough for you at the moment. I know it doesn't help much but all those questions and fears are only to be expected especially when you've been through so much. I think taking some time to clear a bit of head…

gin and slimline tonic?

love the definitions

Jut a quick hi from me to keep up with the thread. I've been very down lately so not posting much. Huge congrats to Taldie, I'm so, so happy for you! Hope for more good news from the rest of you very soon

Big hugs Karen, glad you feel able to get some of it out. Thinking of you

Good work with the names Stephanie, I have such trouble keeping them all staright, I'll be referring back to your post *g* Love your smiley face peestick! Pam, wow, what a thing to happen. I'm so impressed with your calm and rational way of thinking about it. Lucky baby to have so much love waiting for him/her whatever…

I use it to (also England) and I found it was really good as a starting point when I got back into exercise. I lost quite a bit to begin with along with changes to my diet and found that I lost inches more than weight so it was helping to tone. Six months in, I'm still using it but I do find that I need to add in more…

Jalara, have a brilliants time. Fingers crossed for you taldie welcome back GBOH, hope you had a great holiday apart from the obvious :-( Really hope the blues pass by quickly

I'm so sorry Karen, take care of yourself x Welcome new people. BTW Alisa, not sure I told you that my SO os military too. He used to be sent on deployment a lot (one year he was only home three weeks out of the whole year) but now he has a job that means he can only come home at weekends which can be tough but much…

welcome back Luki! We've missed you

Fingers crossed for you today Karen

off to get some prenatals on next shopping trip (hangs head in shame). It probably sounds really silly but the reason I haven't is because I've been trying to make myself think 'I'm just waiting for my cycles to settle not really, trying, trying' in the same way as I haven't been charting or anything. I think I've been…

Cats are the best, I'd be lost without mine and I'm sure you're right that yours would be lost without you. But as someone else said, I hope you feel able to get more help and support. It may not seem that way now but there are lots of reasons for you to want to live your life even if you can't see them when you feel low.…

Hi all, just a quick post from me as I'm quite poorly at the moment (tonsillitis) so not really with it. Jalara, I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, you deserve good news really soon. Ashley, congratulations! Welcome to all the new people. AFM had really high hopes just before I went away, period was late…

Hi all, I miss you all so much! I now have my internet issues sorted out but am about to go camping for a week so still won't be able to catch up properly! Welcome to the new people and many congratulations Elizabeth! I can't tell you how happy I am for you :happy: Will try and have a catch up later as I now have to go and…

wow guys, been a lot going on here while I'm (still) struggling with my technical issues. Huge hugs to all, we're all going through similar frustrations and feelings of hopelessness about there being an end in sight. I wish I could make it better for you all but it helps me to know I'm not alone. Hang on in there and be…
