    I hope I haven’t hurt anyone’s feelings but I have given up doing all the extra stuff on Facebook.

      I don’t do the extra stuff on Facebook, either. I just don’t want to, so I don’t.

      Aha! You too. I bet my list is longer than your list!

      i played around with some of that stuff at the start – but its all really crap and pointless. such a waste of time.

      networking and communicating, not time wasting.

    5. MrsSSG Says:

      Hi Dee, I accidently came across your site yesterday by googling 2 week wait and felt I had to write. I have sat and read through everyone of your blogs since Sept 2005 and have laughed and cryed. I am infact on the very start of my journey (A short journey I hope, but who knows) I am on my first 2 week wait and have found your posts to be an eye opener and a little distraction from the waiting game. – I never imagined the power of the test!! It is sitting in my drawer calling me. I wont test until tomorrow though.

      A bit of a useless comment here, but I just wanted to send something.

      Lots of love and luck to you and your growing family

      xx
