Fiona - we've got snow on our side, have you got any on yours? It started last night and when I woke up our garden was covered in white fluffy snow. I thought it looked very pretty until I took Arthur & Jeremy out for their 2 mile walk and nearly ended up on my lardie @rse! At least I have lots of padding around me at the moment!!!

If its snowing you take care - especially driving home!!!

love nikola.xx

ps only two more days left for you!!!!

Hi guys,

Well to report Helen's news (I'm sure she won't mind because she's not on the internet at home :roll: ), she had 8 eggs from 8 follies and 6 have fertilised. ET is set for Friday morn. She's well chilled from the tx she's had at Care and the acupuncture sessions - going to have acu around et too and all that sounds very promising.

Helen does have a tale to tell, but I'll leave that for her :D

Well, I never got into work today - in fact I was told to turn back because of gridlock and that was good enough for me. The snow is about 2 inches deep in Manc-land, very picturesque. I suppose I should have tried again this afternoon, but I just had a chilled out day doing nothing (apart from talk to Helen and watch TV) - just woke from a nice hours nap which waswell needed, as sleep is somewhat disturbed at this stage!

Tracey - don't worry, Helen forwarded hers and I'd spoken to Nik too, but I have to admit to having started worrying around 3-ish. If I'm at work tomorrow, I'll call you - might as well get some benefit on my last few days and they'll think I'm phoning clients to say goodbye :D

Take Care all

aly, helen has been off work this week so hasn't had access to internet, but I know she won't mind me updating you! I had lunch with her on Thursday and told her you had been leaving messages for her.

Helens update - 8 follies, 8 eggs, 6 fertilised. she went for ET yesterday (three day) and had 1x8cell, 2x7cell, 1x6cell, 1x4cell......and one non-runner! They popped an 8 cell and a 7 cell back yesterday and she can freeze the other 7/6cell - they are waiting to see if the 4 cell goes on to make it to 5 cells and if so can freeze that too.

She sounds pretty chilled out and relaxed about the whole thing (suprisingly not very Helen-like, which is good!!!) She is back to work Monday so no doubt she will post then!

H - if I got any of the cells wrong, soz, but I think this is right! You take it easy, no going for business woman of the week like you normally do!

Lost of love

Hi Guys

I am finally in the office this afternoon - did I tell you that I have merged with another company, so am now really posh and have office premises? I am changing my ISP so that I can get email access when I work from home as I often do to look after puppy dog Bliss, but not sorted it yet, so can only access you at the office!

Well I haven't had time to cacth up with all your posts as yet, so am not in the know as to what has happened to anyone! Hope you are all ok. Thanks so much for your mesages and kind words.

My 2 little embies are nestled in there. Getting a few crampy pains, but that could be down to the tablets - loads of thoese to take and so much to tell you about, but it will have to wait for tomorrow as I need to go home now and relax on the sofa.

Love to all
Helen.
