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.

I liked SW - I lost about 2 stone on it in the last year.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 24/05/2012 17:13

Welcome back bugs! Haff missed you. Luffing the display of white bits. Alcohol soaked fortnight, mmmm. Envy, moi?! Sounds like you have things sensibly planned out!

sinkingflameofhilarity · 24/05/2012 13:28

Welcome back bugs

Gd holibob then? Copious drinking and seching. Excellent commitment to the cause.

Hope the slimming world malarky isn't too unpleasant. I've never been on a diet. I last about 2hours before cracking and eating masses more than I otherwise would. Instead I run a bit more when I'm flabby. Like now. Sad

In Sinky news, cd 34 and alls well. No droidal interruption yet. Yet.

I live in fear of being told to reduce my caffeine intake. I half heartedly bought some decaf tea in the name of TTC, but it's just not the same...

Would a go on my hat help stave of the fear till scan day dor?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/05/2012 22:18

Hmm, just Hmm. Not to fuel the menkul.
Shredpole I'm not sure about barley water because of the wheat intolerance but I am enjoying lemonade. The consultant said to avoid coffee and I've read to minimise caffeine intake. I should cut down sugary crap too. That's not so easy! It's good news that you're moving forward. Yes, definitely worth trying the woo! Are they going to check Mr Ferret's swimmers too?!
Boo to the weird bleeding dor. I will ask the big guy to make it stop! Hang in there til Friday

FriendofDorothy · 23/05/2012 21:19

Bonsoir ma petit chouxfleurs. Things are still ticking along here although I am still regularly having brown bleeding which is still scaring the shit out of me. Hoping all is still OK by the time we get to scan on Friday.

ShredniVashtar · 23/05/2012 21:18

Hello fellow Ruvlakians! Glad you've been enjoying the sunshine and sorry to hear sad news rollo and that you're still poorly, faith. I second cave's suggestion of cranberry. Have also heard that barley water, lemon or otherwise, can help.

Talking of woo, I may be about to suspend my scepticism. My GP suggested I try acupuncture so am going to look into it. She doesn't think anything is actually wrong with me (apart from lacking a tube, obv) but has booked me in for day 3 and day 21 blood tests. Progress of sorts!

sinkingflameofhilarity · 23/05/2012 21:13

Mmm. Massage sounds good. I'm also considering letting a little bit of woo into my life, but it's just finding the time! Mobile masseuse anyone?

Hope things aren't as bleak as they seem rollo. My mum was told she had less than a year to live when I was 17. I'm (a little!) older now and she's still with us.

Faif, last cycles have been 35, 34, 32.. Now on cd33. Ample potential for menkulling but shall not crack.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/05/2012 19:46

First time I had a proper massage I got home at 4pm, went to bed and slept right through! Sounds good for helping you relax! I'm still toying with getting some woo. Really fancy reflexology.

queenrollo · 23/05/2012 19:35

faithy i think chemo, but obviously they have a lot on now so have gone quiet.

Had a full on back and neck massage this afternoon and boy do I feel good now. Really tired, which I was told to expect but it's the first time in ages i've not felt tense in the neck area.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/05/2012 18:03

Howdy general! How luffly to see you Grin! I got it, you're waiting in the wings with your nipple tassels at the ready for the next win yes?
No booze for me currently, only aggravated the situation. But if there is then make mine a triple. cavey. I'm not a cranberry juice fan but I have got some this afternoon. Willing to try anything. Ow.
Rollo Tis still a rubbish diagnosis but if the breast cancer is isolated that's a very good thing. Do you how they are going to treat?

eurochick · 23/05/2012 10:52

Mmmmm, booooooze. Luffly luffly booze. I have a work do tonight so there will be the best kind of booze - free booze!

It's good to have you drop in Laura. I hope all is well.

I'm 10dpo I think. I'm sure i'm not diffed. And feeling relatively unmenkle about it. I'm sure that won't last past the hormone dip that;ll start in a day or two, just before the Droid's arrival.

Rollo I'm so sorry to hear that. My mum had very aggressive breast cancer. It was diagnosed in '98. She is still going strong. The chemo and drugs have nasty side effects but they do great things.

It's so nice to have some sunshine finally. My mood lifts immediately with a bit of sunshine.

5starGeneralLauraPalmer · 23/05/2012 09:29

Oops, didn't mean to cause confusion...TOM and I aren't TTC...I just meant I was waiting to get nekkid for one of you lot.

Come an' get it, ESHes!

CaveMum · 23/05/2012 09:27

Oh rollo that's awful news for your friend. Hopefully tests will put things in a more positive light and they can fight it off.

Faith, sorry that you're still suffering. It won't improve things massively I know, but are you a cranberry juice fan? My mother swears by it for keeping the plumbing in good nick.

In Cavey news, I just called the hospital to see if I could get a cancellation instead of waiting till July. It turns out they don't do a cancellation list, you just have to keep phoning up to see what's available. Grr!

queenrollo · 23/05/2012 09:19

morning all.

more news from friend, grade three aggressive cancer. More tests this week to see if it is confined to the breast or has spread. Still feeling very stunned and pissed off that this could happen to such a wonderful, kind person.

Personally I'm CD16 here, just secshing for fun and not bothering with the 'right time' because i'm one month post lap+dye and trying not to get my hopes up that a miracle had occurred and I am suddenly all fixed.

where's the gin? I feel like i need to bathe in it as well as drink it. this weekend we're away again and then the following Thurs we head of to Spain for a week. How come going on holiday feels so stressful?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/05/2012 08:36

How long would you expect your cycle to be?

Does anyone have any matchsticks? I need them to keep my eyes open. Multiple trips to the loo in the night + pain = grumpy faith. But apparently it will be sunny later which means I can get some washing done. Which will be good.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 22/05/2012 21:08

Beautiful evening over here in the beautiful rulvakian countryside.

Yay to the baby heart, a resounding punch in the face to cancer. And fingers crossed for some urological brilliance...

Tis a bit quiet. I blame the luffly weather. After work I did a couple of hours gardening- can now sit out without wincing at the mess.

Am on cd32 and having all sorts of womble aches and a dose of ewcm. Am so fed up of it all, am almost successfully managing not to menkul. Almost.

CaveMum · 22/05/2012 19:04

Evening all [salutes LP]

Rollo, so sorry to hear about your friend Sad. I hope that she has a speedy recovery.

Faithy, glad you are getting a referral. Hopefully they'll get to the bottom of it this time.

Nothing to report here. CD 10 and I'm being naughty and starting to use the cheapy OPKs and Shag Dictator again. If I don't I'll have even less of an idea about what is going on!

Northey · 22/05/2012 18:54

Dancing? Nekkidly? Anything you want to tell us, laura? not just that you like to check out our buzzwams

5starGeneralLauraPalmer · 22/05/2012 18:42
eurochick · 22/05/2012 18:25

yay - progress of sorts Faif.

I've had a pretty busy day so not been around much.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/05/2012 18:20

I fink it's a bit quieter in here at present. I'm busy at work so not posting in the day. bugs is on holibobs. I guess sometimes that just means less day time posts?

I haff seen nice laydee GP who has provided more antibiotics oh yay but said she's worried we're not really getting to the bottom of it so she's going to do a urology referral to see if they know what's going on. I don't think this is going away on its own! Ah well, at least it's a step forward :)

So, is it nice and sunny with you too?

blonderthanred · 22/05/2012 15:08

Thank you Lemon.

Just to echo what others have said, sorry to hear about your friend Rollo. Everything crossed for them.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 22/05/2012 15:02

Oops I killed the fred. Sorry!!
