Another week gone

Not too much to report this week. Another day of acupuncture on Wednesday and I'm sure she forgot me this time as was 45 mins instead of the usual 30 which wouldn't be a problem normally but wanted to get to Pool Triangle time trial and get an early number so could be one of the first to set off, and instead I got 15 , wasn't last to finish but wasn't far off. But I finally broke under 42 mins for the course and not only that I did it in 40 mins bang on, so now have the confidence that one day I will get under. Will try next week but that will be the last one this season as I can't make the last one, and who knows whether I will be racing next year???

IVF on news yesterday about national variances in how many times areas allow you attempts on etc NHS. Apparently the guidelines recommend 3 times, clearly Leeds don't comply as their rules stated 1 only, some areas did 6 - but they didn't say where and I am not moving!!

Plans for next year if I on Plan B are shaping up nicely and in some ways I won't not enjoy it if that's what I end up doing. There are some days at work I wonder why I want children, particularly if I see brats either in my office or in town at dinner time, but then I see our friend's girl Rosa (1 in June) and she reminds me, or someone else I know tells me they are pregnant and it hurts. Just wish family and parents could back off at times, they may not mean to pressurise us but they do and we are both a little fed up to say the least

Had dinner at Rich and Jos on Saturday (Rosa's parents and Andy's best mate) and were talking about whether we'd adopt if it doesn't work out, and I honestly don't know the answer. We adopted Suki successfully but a child is a completely different kettle of fish to a labrador, it answers back for starters. Given my job I know there are a lot of children in the care system needing a good home, but I also know a lot of them are damaged emotionally and in other ways, and some acquaintances of ours adopted a 12 month old several years ago and ended up handing him back cos they couldn't cope with him, which kind of puts us off the idea. It's an area we'll revisit if we have to, but not now
