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.

There was a thread here once full of random woo people had tried. One poster admitted to having bought a spell off the Internet. I want to do that.

Good luck with the basting to tomorrow, cakefiend. And hope you get some uninterrupted sleep, faith! Can't imagine how scary that must have been to wake up to another fire alarm.

Interesting to read about others' woo experiences. I'm a bit of a cynic when it comes to most things. Though have been taking evening primrose oil this month in the second of what I suspect will become a long line of things to try - first was guafenesin which did nothing except give me thrush well that and all the chocolate so we'll see. Going to see the doc on Friday. Any advice on what I should ask for/ about? Day 21 blood test? Further fanjo cam?

Follie was 21mm on day 10 Shock and being basted tomorrow. So it will be a short cycle, even by my standards - I'm still unmedicated. But after this one, we'll have a review and maybe do something different for the last one... In any case all the wine and animal fat clearly did their job of fattening my insides as well as my bottom. Just keeping my fingers crossed that the relaxation did something for the swimmers too, but we'll hear soon enough.

Yes faith, it is the next step and combined with meeting some more (potential) colleagues, so all looking good. Just have to do well at the assessment first.

Jealous of complete relaxation rollo. (You sound more rolling and less queen like today.) Maybe if this one fails, I'll up the woo in my life too. At the mo, I am just too busy coping with work, treatment, family, life and trying to keep marginally fit. I have no idea when I could fit the woo in. And it being stressful can't be the idea.

Well done for coping with pg dinner date, euro. Even if it is a hard-won one, the jealousy does not abate that much. It is our turn now. Please.

And sympathy for the poo-adventures faith, at least you'll be so prepared when it is your turn, which it will be soon.

Right back to Rulvakia. When is the eurovision again and are we hosting it?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 16/05/2012 14:24

Wow I'm Envy of feeling relaxed. I think I need some woo in my life! The university near me does discounted acupuncture, I might try it! I'm looking after DNephew this afternoon. Aside from dealing with the stinkiest, most enormous poo, all down his leg he's been quite sweet and funny!
norf glad you're feeling more positive about the job, hoping and praying it's all good!
Good to hear of follicle growth lemons. Is it outsourcing tomorrow then? What does the assessment mean? Is it the next stage of the job application?
euro it certainly takes the edge off the jealousy but it's still tough isn't it?

queenrollo · 16/05/2012 14:08

I'm all floaty after a session with my therapist. We had a chat and decided not to go with acupuncture today. He wanted to address my tension and feeling cold all the time so we did a combo of reflexology and neck massage. He did work on the points in my feet for fertility too, but not as intensively as he would if I want fertility specific treatment. He said that now the medical reason for me not getting pregnant has been addressed he wants to concentrate on keeping me calm and relaxed to see how things go this month. I like him because he talks thing through with me and then gives me options to choose from.

I'm going to go and lie down and read for a bit to make the most of feeling completely relaxed.

Hurrah to lemons for follie growth and good luck for the outsourcing. Are you medicated?

And hurrah for all the promising job news.

Sinking to your man. Sometimes they really don't get it do they?

Welcome to those from Peshatania. Please collect your silly hats from the stand diretcly behind passport control.

I went out for dinner last night with my 7 months pg friend. It's an IVF win though, so I am happy for her, just a little jealous.

Northey · 16/05/2012 10:24

And how big is your follicle?

Northey · 16/05/2012 10:23

No, I'm not ready for congratulations!! I realise I'm hard to keep up with on this...

What is your job for (broadly)? Can you say??

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 16/05/2012 10:00

X-post with norf - remove the crossed out and proper CONGRATULATIONS.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 16/05/2012 09:59

Morning fellow citizens!

The feet are less painful (and I didn't get any blisters :) ). So hurrah. I have an assessment next week, so my feeling that it went well was correct. and norf that is exciting, but we won't say Did you get some sleep norf?

OMG sinky - men... I find that a baffling subject for anniversary conversation, if you don't tell it soon, you might as well wait until the romantic lovely night is over Confused. And in a restaurant... SB has learnt to tell me about pgs at home, so I can wail in privacy. Cave your HWMNN (or something like that) is a bit stupid too. Fb-ing implies knowing, which in my book implies sharing - at an appropriate moment. GRRR.

Waves at blond invasion from PESHanity (or something)

On other news, I have a ginormous follicle (on cd10) so outsourcing tomorrow.

Northey · 16/05/2012 09:59

Ah, our beloved colony, which set out from these lands so many freds ago, and between whose borders there is free passage and good will. Madam, I greet you, and hope one day to visit your fertile pastures

Feeling a tiny bit more excited about job this morning and like it might really be going to happen. Thank fuck for that, if it does. I was not very fat away from running out of money.

blonderthanred · 16/05/2012 08:54

Friends! Rulvakians! BESHs! Lend me your wombles.

Just saying hi from neighbouring Peshstania. All ok here. Ambassa Dor stretchy feelings are mucho alarming but normal (in fact good sign). Northey good luck with the popping. Docs claim I conceived on the only day that week when I didn't have sex - ironically, Valentine's day. Hello to all others. May the droid be never with you.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 15/05/2012 23:00

I'll gis you a go of my hat if you like?

They'd be fools to not give you the job. Between me and lord lieutenant shred, we'll do them over if they start playing silly beggers...

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 15/05/2012 22:58

Ah fanks. Have been wondering for ages....
sinky that takes me back to a row with my first grown up bf. big row in bar at burfday party where I hissed the words Well I don't want to talk about it here! had not thought of that in a long time Oh he really was a tosser!
Honestly norf, stop it! Deep breaths, go to sleeeeep zzzzzz 'Tis just a fornality....'
I too must sleep. Night BESHes!

Northey · 15/05/2012 22:47

If I Recall Correctly :o

I don't knooooow. Oh God, what if it is all snatched away, and I have to go back to being barren, jobless and stout. Howl.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 15/05/2012 22:47

faif - if I remember correctly.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 15/05/2012 22:46

Fanks guys. Harrumph. Fecking preggers feckers (not you Dor). Fecking clueless husband.

On the plus side, the hissed "we will talk about this at home" hasn't materialised. Think I might have cried if he fecking tried.

But... TWOOFL sounds good. Or it will as soon as the phone recognises it so I don't have to remember how to type it...

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 15/05/2012 22:44

Oh excellent yes, let's reinstate/rejuvinate that! Window what does iirc stand for? And where is the [thicko] emotion?
norf they are formalities! No reason it shouldn't be fine! When you likely to hear?9

Northey · 15/05/2012 22:31

Two Weeks Of Obsessive Fucking Lunacy, iirc.

In bed, but can't sleep because of potential job stress. Gah.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 15/05/2012 22:29

Oh yes....I dunno what it should for though.. Hmm

Northey · 15/05/2012 22:27

Way happened to 2WOOFLing. Or TWOOFLing, or whatever it was called. Used to be the term way back when. Could resurrect that.

Northey · 15/05/2012 22:24

What an idiot, sinky. He obviously thought he was doing the right thing though, so we have to chalk it up to baffling male difference as usual. I'm so sorry your anniversary dinner was ruined :(

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 15/05/2012 22:22

Men, honestly, baybee making would be a lot easier without them Hmm Well happy anniversary anyways. Here, have some gin.
Managed to sneak in the sechs before MSB's colleague came back today. No more fertile pant snot so I think we're officially back to the waiting game. Can we have a better NN for the tww? The menkul.....something? I am feeling like crap with this cold now, hopefully this is the worst of it. Really hoping I can sleep and won't be woken by any fecking alarms tonight!!!! Can't take the Shock

CaveMum · 15/05/2012 21:44

Oh sinky how very stupid of him. I suspect, in his tiny little mind, he thought he was doing the right thing.

HWHNN did something similar over 1 of his friends. They married 2 years after we did and HWHNN found out they were expecting and decided not to tell e in case it upset me. Of course he hadn't banked on their broadcasting allovrr Facebook and me spotting a "Congratulations" comment he had written several weeks earlier Hmm

Man logic [tuts]
