Calixelaine - that's awesome news!

Smudge - sorry to hear you didn't make it to your scan appointment - obviously your body was telling you something (even if it was just to catc up on sleep from new years) - it's not that far til the 1st to start your IVF cycle.
yes, i'm aware that i'm a bit of a freak by not being scared of needles - i think it was my way of proving i was the brave one when i was a kid - my big bro was PETRIFIED of needles (still is!), so that was my way of beating him!

BW - sorry to hear your arthritis is playing up again - sounded like you were actually having a good run for a little while there

milly - hopefully tomorrow will show a nice follie ready for the picking

i'm off to grab some dinner. just came home after a boring day at work to find that DH and my bro had gotten bored during the day and ripped out our pergola! they're putting the new one up tomorrow, but all the bits and pieces needed to be painted tonight (was supposed to be done at the weekend!) - have painted so much tonight that i think i'm going to be dreaming blue paint tonight!
