The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia

Glad to hear the cake went down well euro. Has everyone had a nice day? Did you enjoy the bubbly norf?
We've had DSis and BIL and the munchkin round for a somewhat adhoc dinner. Had a bottle of bubbly ourselves to celebrate being home! I am quite tired and unbelievably emotional!

hurrah!

PS - the lemon cake was a big hit!

Hurray!

I am home !

Sounds very energetic, faithy. And I hope the lemon cake is good, euro.

I'm still sober too euro. Bought a bottle of Pimms because it was on offer £12 but haven't cracked it open. Just not really bothered. Want to want to drink IYSWIM!

Now sitting on what's left of the sofa, surrounded by piles of stuff,
waiting for my BIL to come over so we can move most bits home. My aim is that when MSB gets back around 2, all that's left to move is my piano, the washing machine and the bed!

Leith's. Which amusingly was a gift from the people I was going to visit and hence baking for! So it was only fair that I inflicted the bizarrely textured salty blueberry muffins on them!

I've got a lemon cake for my dad in the oven now. I hope that is more of a success!

I like your style Norfy. I am off alcohol again in preparation for IVF. Boooooooooooooooooooring. Meh.

What was the recipe book, euro? Nigella's baking is reputedly bizarrely hit and miss.

I gave up on trying to find something to bake for today and just bought lots of champagne instead. Because I am lazy and hope to distract people from noticing.

Morning ladies. I had a lovely day yesterday, visiting some friends out in the wilds of Essex. I had a baby cuddle, so hopefully that has reminded my womble what this is all about. We dropped into their local Jubilee party in the cricket pavilion. It was properly villagey and cute .

I had a rare baking fail yesterday. I had my first go at muffins, and tried two different recipes from the same book - one blueberry, one chocolate. The blueberry ones were vile. Luckily the chocolate ones were yummy, so all was not lost. We're off to visit my parents later. I might make something else to take down to them. We need a cake emoticon.

Faif that's a bit bizarre. I've never had a positive. I thought it was nigh on impossible to get a false positive. How frustrating.

Congratulations, brave girl :)

AMNH and I ave already had three snippy arguments this morning. Bodes well for a relaxing day with friends...

Let's hope being exposed to a baybee is contagious for you then norf. Be strong!

I'm delighted to have survived my third night on my own MSB is on his way back so I'm gonna get up, finish packing ready for the last push! Street party in the village then please please please!! home tonight

I did know, and that is definitely why I like it too :)

Off to spend the day at a Jubilee barbecue with friends and their newborn. It will be lovely to see them, but please please let me not collapse into desperate yearning...

Did you know Pimms is gin based? I only found that out this weekend. No wonder I like it so much...
I have warmed up after a soak in the bath. Now tucked up in bed hoping its the last night I have to spend in this rented house. Watching The Apprentice final. Can't complain really.

lp, faith is right, it's a literary allusion, innit. From a short story by Saki, whom I recommend.

Bloody tests and their misleading results. Maybe the one I did this morning is actually misleading too

I'm warming up too after an outdoorsy afternoon. If there is a baybee in there, I've soaked it in Pimms and jostled it about playing egg and spoon races and all sorts of other malarkey

I just didn't want to put about fake weird BFPs and steal genuine thunder! Tried to be subtle :)

Sounds like a wise plan bugs and just take it easy today.
It's a bit cold and wet in the field but it's been fun to see all the Bonds and I went for a ride in ours which was cool! Quiet night in planned, perhaps a bath to warm me up!

Nah I got BFN on an FRER with FMU so definitely a weird test. I just wondered with minimal bleeding and boobs still being on the large side...but definitely no.
lors her name is a reference to a book...about a polecat ferret I think

Faife!!!! could it be a triple diff?!?

I must be honest, I'm not too fond of the ICs - my lines are almost non-existent yet the Sainsbury's cheapie cross test (blue dye) and the ClearBlue digital that I was saving for emergencies both gave very clear positives with the same pee. And today I got another very clear, darker positive on a Sainsbo cheapie yet the IC is still almost non-existent-stare-at-it-under-every-light-and-make-yourself-crazy.

That said, I will continue to pee on the ICs to watch the lines grow darker.

Shred I've not been around much as me and TOM were taking a break after our 2nd mc last November. But I've been a BESH lurker and really confused by your name - is it because I'm a foreigner??!

Ruddy Boots tests with the cross - came up with a definite line. Immediately. Very confusing. Clearer when I pulled it apart.. Didn't want to get excited, not with genuine BFPs, hence the NC and posting. Won't be buying any more of those and utilise the 15 Internet cheapies that should be arriving this week.

Really, faith, a false positive? What's all that about?

A twit in a nice way, faif!

Are you calling me a twit norf?! Cos that is what I did yesterday!
I'm still toying with woo. No commitments though.

euro's a bit of a needle queen. And someone else here also likes it.

My positive thinking for this cycle is that last cucle's scan showed I was ovulating off my tubeless side, so hopefully this one will come together nicely.

Rub up all you like!
Seriously, I am grateful that prog levels seem to be ok. Am thinking about trying acupuncture next cycle as long as it's not too woo to encourage my left tube to think about picking up an egg and give my left ovary a pep talk at the same time.

True, faith. At least I am only unpregnant, not unpregnant and a twit.
