The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia

Welcome to The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia. The national drink is of course gin, state funded to get you into a state. We have many traditions and customs, such as sechsing, swearing for the fun of it (optional) and urinating on little white sticks.
Enemy of the state is Droid, who must be heckled heartily should it put in an appearance. There is an ongoing lottery to win a baybee, being granted citizenship of The Republic is your ticket to the lottery.

As a democracy all members are entitled to put forward any customs or rules they would like and we can all adopt important but silly titles if we like. See the George Carlin sketch about hats and religion and make your own mind up about whether you would like a ceremonial hat to accompany whichever title/role you bestow upon yourself.

Newcomers should find and complete the BESHtionnaire so we can make sure you are cynical and non-fluffy enough to be granted Citizenship.

Yes sleeping well though I did dream I got a smiley on a opk, obsessed with ttc much?! Tis good to have MSB back. Lots of cleaning and furniture moving has made me physically tired too which I've not had much of since I was ill. Still got the pain but it's down to a dull ache I can manage with paracetamol.
Yes I think a break does the power of good Lems. When it's been month after month for a couple of years just having the sechs when you feel like it is luffly.
Glad to hear things have settled dor. Hopefully you'll start getting more energy soon and start enjoying being diffed rather than just feeling exhausted. My friend said she really enjoyed her second trimester for that reason.

FriendofDorothy · 06/06/2012 08:51

I am 12+3 today. I feel ok... I could just sleep today and I seriously don't want to be at work in any way shape or form!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 06/06/2012 08:48

Great that things have settled, dor. Although less great to feel so rough. Are you past 12-weeks yet? Hope you will feel better in a bit. And if not, I think I know you well enough that you'll cope with it ok. You've waited long enough for this win!

FriendofDorothy · 06/06/2012 08:41

Things have settled down now (thankfully!). I just feel like I have been run over by a bus for the majority of the day and then I can't sleep at night.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 06/06/2012 08:15

Early morning slap with a plaice for bugs. See that made you feel sick, proof you are diffed. The plan is sensible, so just beg for that early scan! And otherwise feel free to menkul, here or elsewhere.

Massive well done to faif for the moving. Did you sleep well last night? MSB back must have helped... You mentioned about feeling optimistic, so do I (for no good reason after 3 failed iuis - it might be the month off) so hurrah for that.

How are you doing laura? And dot how are things now?

FriendofDorothy · 05/06/2012 20:59

I have to admit that the tests I did were quite dark but the first test I did was 16DPO. I used the Boots own brand jobbies as I couldnt be bothered to wait for an internet cheapie to arrive and we don't have any other cheap shops over here.

Not sure that has been that helpful has it?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 05/06/2012 20:46

Sensible plans bugs. I'm sure there's desire to keep seeing positive pee sticks but like you say, you are diffed. Hang tight til the scan.

I did indeed have a hot bath and hair wash. 'twas luffly. Early night on the cards for me!

put those sticks down!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 05/06/2012 18:52

Try not to panic. You are still getting BFPs. Hang in there.

I am aching, a lot! But the rented house is almost empty and almost clean - no oomph for living room and kitchen so I'll get that done one evening. At least my kitchen and living room are home now :)

Doh. Massive strike through fail. I'm so not kewl.

LauraPalmerish · 05/06/2012 17:54

Bugs I've left you a message on that Fred and slapped you with a haddockand tightened your ankle chain.

I also created a special place for us to freak out. Go look in the Diffedness section and you will find "a quietESH place for menkulling". Would've pasted the link directly but can't figure out how to do it on an iPhone.

Don't want to go back to work tomorrow. Or maybe ever. Sigh.

More than lunchtime!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 05/06/2012 13:38

It won't help the bloating but it will soothe the soul. maybe get a pot of probitic yoghurt on the way home

Kitchen unpacked, making headway on the bedroom but I'm flagging. Must be lunch time!

Northey · 05/06/2012 12:45

I don't have any probiotic yoghurt, but would shortbread do?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 05/06/2012 12:26

Blimey bugs very efficient! Sounds good. You deserve a sit down with cuppa! I'm unpacking the kitchen, not easy since we've totally rearranged it so I don't know where to put anything! MSB has arranged to borrow a big van from work so we'll bring the last of the stuff over this afternoon.
Is it weird to say I feel certain I'm going to get diffed soon? I've not been optimistic about our chances since August when we found out about MSB's health ishoos. Suddenly, being home, feeling like we'll be settled in soon, summery weather at times... I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about it!
norf you can't have gained that much in a day ! Are you a bit bloated? Probiotic yoghurt might help?

Yay for lemon cake and faithy's homecoming, and boo for spotty menkulling and sugar/booze hangovers.

I am hungover on a train, and so fat from yesterday that my waistband is hurting.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 05/06/2012 09:31

Morning all. Just having a cuppa on my sofa in my living room Grin! I slept pretty well, had a bit of a wobble about the idea of the fire alarm going off but I realised I actually feel safer here than I do at the rented house Hmm Maybe because everything has been stripped back and repaired? Maybe just because it's home. I did have a very weird dream that I was doing FRER wrong, you had to bite on them instead because gums receeding was an early sign of pregnancy Hmm Maybe not.

lors why not go old skool with TinyTOM and take him to the park and treat him to an ice cream afterwards?

No win for me as yet lems, early days of cycle although MSB did insist on commencing the christening of the house starting with the bedroom yesterday! Grin Today I'll mostly be cleaning the rented house and trying to unpack. Dunno where to start so I'm watching One Tree Hill instead. MSB is at work, bless him.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 05/06/2012 09:11

Oh and welcome to the stripping new blood. I forgot all that was in your beshtionaire already, but welcome all the same Wink

And Pimms is lovely, but more of a dry and summery day drink than a drenched in continuous drizzle weekend.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 05/06/2012 09:10

Morning jubilant Rulvakians!

How are the newly diffed? Can I fuel somebody's menkul? I think a triple win would be fab.

And sorry for the headfukc tests, faif. But yay and congrats on being home! Did you manage to get some sleep?

I had too much alcohol and sugar this long weekend so now I am feeling hungover and tired. Will be lurking here for far too much of today. SB is playing games...

LauraPalmerish · 05/06/2012 08:57

Congrats Faithy - it must feel amazing to finally have the home all sussed! And yes, I did know that Pimms is gin-based. I adore Pimms. It is my favourite discovery since moving to England!

Lemon cake sounds divine, Euro - the last cake I made failed miserably but I still can't figure out why. I should just leave the baking to TOM, he's better at it anyway. This weekend he made a whole tub of dark chocolate millionaires and they're sinfully yum.

What's everyone doing today? My week is all messed up in my head. I'm trying to figure out something fun to do for TinyTOM, but bereft of ideas at the moment. Hmmmmm...

Onward extra Jubilee day, laydees!

ShredniVashtar · 04/06/2012 21:26

Enjoy your first night back, faith! Glad you've had a good day and are all moved in.

We've had a fun day with plenty of fresh air an snuggles with dn. Brown spotting today, but temps still above the cover line ... Menkul ...
