Hi Liz,

Its scary hearing all these stories where protection fails isn’t it? You hear it every now and then on the news but then you find out that it’s a lot more common than you think with stories like on here. I’m glad you aren’t too upset about the miscarriages and I understand why, aside from your hormones raging messing with your emotions. Now obviously as we are planning we should know from the first day really and so the attachment will start there if that makes sense? I’m assuming of course you are coming round to the idea – lol! Have you ever watched Guilliana and Bill? Their struggles were sad to watch but they were ever so philosophical about it, was inspiring.

I’m not so bad at home working, as I find I get a lot more done. Some days more than others depending if I’m distracted, I think I daydream easily. Lol. At work I find I’m always distracted by phone, email and colleagues. The woman I sit opposite could seriously win an award for how much she talks and how many questions she asks so its nice to have the peace and quiet at home. My office is very chatty and we laugh a lot which is great but very distracting. The cats can be distracting, but they tend to all be in whatever room I’m in and sit around me, at the moment, one is on my lap and I’m typing round her, two are on the sofa next to me and one has just dropped a toy mouse at my side to throw for her, this will go on for ages now, she’ll fetch the mouse and I’ll throw it and so on, so they aren’t too distracting aside from breaking off to throw the mouse but she will get tired soon. Alex can be distracting though! Normally he’s quite good and sits in the kitchen to do his work but when he wants a break or gets a little bored he comes and bothers me and I have to tell him to scram. I do sign onto the Dibb though and keep the forum spy running so I can have a little Disney fix alongside my work. I’ve done quite a lot today, I just write guidance at home as it’s easier. My management encourage home working so I tend to do every Friday but I have done it other days too.

Oh Alex’s 30th is causing me a right headache cause he’s said he doesn’t want any fuss and he wants no pressies. I’ve pushed him and pushed him and he’s adamant all he want to do is be at home and spend time with me the cats and my parents (his live 250 miles away, sadly, but they will call) . Believe it or not he wants to build our fitted wardrobes and that’s it, he’s actually rather excited about doing that! He said I can get him a card and cook his favourite meals on his b’day but aside from that he’s not wanting to do anything. So my plan is to get him a cool card online from Moonpig or Funky pigeon, and then cook brownies for him (best type of cake as I’m not fussed for them!) and then do all his favourite stuff for the rest of the day, so a cooked breakfast, sarnies for lunch and then for tea beef wellington or steak or similar. I’ll also give him some ‘’vouchers’’ for stuff like I’ll do the cats litter or wash the car or give him a back rub or let him watch wrestling for a whole day or do the hovering, you know stuff like that that he normally does. I’ll also promise not to nag at all! It’s all a bit crap really as I like presents, cakes and meals out for birthdays but he doesn’t and I guess I have to respect that. He’s asked all our relatives for dollars! My mum and dad are coming over on his birthday and I might do us a mini buffet for lunch with his beloved sarnies and then in the afternoon my dad and Alex are putting the wardrobe up and hopefully that will mean I can get these old Orlando pics scanned in. He might be able to control my spending but he can’t with my mum and dad and they always spoil him rotten so he will get some pressies on his birthday. I did think about getting him like 1 or 2 Disney dollars to go in his card but they are well pricey on ebay! Our 3 best friends are coming up to stay for a few days in April so he says he’d rather wait and just go out with them so I’ll hold him to that! We might do Alton Towers or something then.

Nightmare about the oil! Do you live in quite a remote area?

I don’t want to buy any new clothes either so I’ve taken to wearing the same jeans practically all the time, people are going to think I have no clothes! Truth is that I’m about a size 13 at the moment so 14s are baggy and 12s are still too small so I’m wearing my comfy 14s all the time. I think I might need to cut down on the peanuts to shift the fat now as I’m going OTT on them. Last night I had so many I felt sick and had a bad tummy this morning. I’m missing my soya crisps that’s the problem. I feel ever so lazy today you know, I’m worried I won’t exercise – please motivate me!

No, I don’t watch brothers and sister – probably a good job from what you’ve said as I cry at everything! I tend not to watch anything that makes me sad, I don’t even watch or read any news, how bad is that?! I’m a total victim of ignorance is bliss.

I don’t really understand airmiles to be honest, but it sounds like they are well working for you! I’m in the virgin frequent flyer club so I really should start to understand then somehow.

Right I better go I feel my omelette is a-calling. Have a good day at work Liz.
