Morning all! Greetings from sunny Sydney where I stupidly got sunburnt yesterday. Typical bloody Pom...!

Hubbie is off giving his presentation as we speak to a boring conference, and has left his laptop behind and so I have five mins to say hello!

V quick thoughts - I agree Ovidrel will be out your system 14 days later. If you are not on anything else, and used the kit correctly (like you aren't reading it 4 hours later, which could be an evaporation shadow) then yes, I'd start to be getting mildly excited. Ha ha ha who are we kidding, I'd have the naming book whipped out and be underlining nice ones. I hope it's the answer we all hope for and very good luck x

Airline - I probably look at it from a slightly different angle. The problem with most foods that you are warned about is because of salmonella/ listeria. And with far too many food hygeinists in the family, they will tell you that the two issues are source and time. If you got the eggs from a reputable place, cooked them yourself in hygenic conditions, and ate them straight you are at low risk and I wouldn't worry too much. Similarly, if you eat something higher risk, but that is highly turned over and therefore very fresh, also lower risk (I had veggie sushi from the best selling place in Melbourne last week and didn't even think about it.). Where source and time that the food has been sat around, then I'd be cautious - most particularly, buffets and barbeques. I've just had breakfast in the hotel and wandered round thinking the same thing!

Terry - really sorry to hear your news. I hope your husband is looking after you and that you are being cuddled lots.

Murraycod - I hope you are feeling ok. I am surprised that anyone can function at all as my *TMI*** nipples are suddenly bigger than Belgium and threatening to take over the whole Western seaward side of Australia. They are weapons of mass destruction. New Zealand, watch out. But not itchy or hot... should they be itchy and hot???? oh no now I have a new thing to look out for!!!

Anyway, I hope you are all travelling well and not going do lally. AFM - I have seen a dugong for the first time and am deeply excited about that. That's the good thing about being a tourist, you can go to Acquaria on your own and not look like a weirdo. I've also had a fight with a very very rude taxi driver who was v threatening and I got out the taxi whilst it was moving. Bought the worlds most expensive bra, because I'm feeling fat and horrible and it is a thing of beauty. Had a swim outside at the Boy Charlton pool, very lovely. And lots of sitting around sleeping with no dog to wake me up. That said, I'm looking forward to getting back and picking her up. My stomach cramps have stopped now, can't decide if that is good or not?
