Le BESH est trying to win un petit baybee.

Can't afford to go on my hols with the ESH but maybe I'll come and visit you for a drink :)

Bugs I'm definitely in. I'm about 20 mins from Cambridge so trains (or driving) to pretty much anywhere is feasible.

Anywhere in the Q Hotels range usually does the spa deal (lunch, dinner, breakfast and 2 treatments) for about £110 based on 2 sharing a room.
I went to one in Nottingham which was rather nice as a hen weekend, and also to one in Stratford, which was a posher hotel but had no bloody jacuzzi. Who goes to a spa weekend with no jacuzzi? Was fun anyway.

I think if you google something like spa deals or similar some good offers ought to come up.
I might be a bit busy in the spring summer period mind you.

No, nor me. I don't know why I did.

I got a BFN too. I only tested so I would know if I should stop the steroids. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. I haven't felt any pg symptoms this month.

BFN again. Enormous sigh. Don't know why I keep wasting my money. This must mean my cycles are just fucking up again. Full of gloom.

Glad you had a nice evening LP and Euro. Next time you'll have to do some live commentary on mn, or perhaps a satellite link-up.

I didn't want your excellent pop culture reference to go unacknowledged Cave. However small and humble it was.

Night night Beshers

I wouldnt say no to some real life gin and Maltesers consumption.

Tres jealous LP & Euro

We should all book into one of those spa resorts for a weekend and drink copious amounts of cocktails and should a bitch-fight break out we can all push each other in the pool

All joking aside, I'd be up for a nationwide BESH meet up. I'm in East Angular so can more or less get to most places pretty easily.

I had a lovely BESH evening. Laura Palmer is slim and lovely (her description of herself did really not do her justice!) and very easy to talk to. I usually hate meeting new people when not drinking but she made it very easy. A BESH country house meet up sounds ace. Although we'd need some kind of it's a knockout course where we could all beat one another up when things turn inevitably violent.

*country, NOT county... whole different lot

Ummmmmm. Is it wrong to want a baboon ass?

Just so you know, Euro is lovely and amazing (and disgustingly pretty and fit!)

I think we should have a nation-wide ESH meet up.

Hmm, cake ready and cooled: tasty but not sure it is a great success. It has risen a lot but when I cut into it, it sorted of deflated!

Oh well, it is chocolatey and edible do that'll do me

Anyone watching the baboon programme? When the females are most fertile their arse swells up & turns red. Interesting option. Also the Alpha male can have sex every 15 minutes.....

Ah a BESH date!! Have a lovely time

It's interesting to read about PCOS. Weird how you read that there are definite signs but everyone I know has completely different symptoms.

Sorry to hear of sad cat news Dot.

I don't have a pet. What does this say about me? Incapable of caring for anything?

Is that cake ready Cave?

I'll let you all know if it is a success or not [pig]

Oh I am so of the ESH meet, I am so glad that you are meeting up though. Have a wonderful evening and please to update us throughout.

I very much hope that you will e making out, drunken or not.

laura and euro, I am madly jealous of your evening together, even if it was a traumatic thing that inspired it. Have a wonderful time. I am going to watch some football in the freezing cold (as part of my attempts not to sit indoors being depressed in my new home, but to Get Out and Join In). I would far rather that Getting Out and Joining In involved a nice Camden bar, I must say.

Ooo have fun LP! A BESH-meet sounds like fun [jealous]

She politely described what she'll be wearing. I told her I'd be the one with the red carnation.

Does feel a bit like a blind date, but without all the cringy parts - neither of us will have to make the call of whether or not we're hard up enough to engage in a drunken make out session!

Hurrah!!! Always exciting to meet BESH. How will you recognise each other?

I'm liking the bosom chaise longue concept. I feel it could go places.

I used to be skinny, no boobs...now I'm just no boobs. A cups here.

Dory I'm so sorry to hear about Delilah - my little pooch is saving me right now. I absolutely need her cuddles. She's been the number 1 constant in my life for the past 8 years - have dog, will travel.

RieRie you don't have to test if you don't want to. You can be like one of those women who suddenly discover they're updiffed at 24 weeks. Then you'll miss all the worst menkulling!

I pm'd Faith today...I miss her.

And now for the best news of my day: This evening I get to meet a real life BESH in person. The lovely Euro is meeting me for some wine (& separation blues hand-holding) I am feeling quite lucky, despite my situation.
