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.

Evening all. I have spent the afternoon being the Greatest Auntie in the World and looking after my niece and nephew whilst my sister and the twat go to a wedding. I don't know what they fuss about. The kids have been a piece of cake!

HaveALittleFaith · 15/06/2012 19:50

Funnily enough when they were put in front of him he said I want chippies and fish fingers! :) We actually have them every so often. I can get free from at Tesco. Never ate them since I was a student but missed them when I couldn't have them!!

Ooh burny bugs! I'm not a fan of the fiery stuff like horseradish myself. Have a vivid memory my ex most significant relationship of my twenties buying me a three pack of sarnies - tuna mayo, beef and horseradish, ham and mustard. I only ate the tuna Confused. He did not know me well!
I'm a bit glum today. Pained and sad about missing the ball tomorrow. Right call though. Come round to my sisters to watch the footie, warm welcome from DNephew :) who is insisting he wants soup not fish fingers and chips!

No cats here either faif. The house is too small and SB does not like them Confused but I'd settle for a baybee.

Btw dot [grin at your thought that your baby bump (even if well camouflaged!) was a tumour. But ugh for offerings in the morning. Out cats as kids always used to do that, and I distinctly remember threading on a dead mouse in the morning before school. Not my favourite part of the day. But maybe you can leave it for the Mister to deal with!

FriendofDorothy · 15/06/2012 08:34

The cat in question was not in my good books when I walked downstairs to find a sacrificial offering - I think he has realised his food comes from me for the next fortnight. There were guts and feathers spread throughout the hallway and dining room.

I am not so much growing a baby belly yet as I am already quite fat. Instead of having a nice bump my fatness seems to be solidifying. I had a weird moment when I was poking my abdomen the other day and realised it wasn't soft and squidgy but it was firm like an over-inflated balloon. i was convinced I had a tumour until someone told me it was uterus poking of my pubic bone. Very weird feelign tho.

HaveALittleFaith · 15/06/2012 08:30

Yes hamster was a rubbish baybee substitute drizzly! No cats in our house. Think I'd really like a rabbit....
cavester I'd go by this aftternoon's test, if no temp bump I reckon it's prime mating season Grin
Is it home time yet?

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 15/06/2012 08:26

Grin at the hamster for company faif. I'd prefer a cat! How are things dot? Are you growing a baby belly?

For your information I don't need war paint of any type if SB has been away for a few days...

Fingers crossed it is just a morning pee stick cave! And your stud will be home tonight. Norf Grin at Frankel.

Much as I hate it when people say it to me (24 months down the line), if you've not been TTC long I'd say relax alwyn. There is plenty of time for obsessing and peeing on sticks and temping and tracking scans if it would be needed. I got on okay with IC O-sticks but got v stressed by them. I clearly am not a stud Wink...

CaveMum · 15/06/2012 08:17

Morning all, no temp bump yet so we haven't missed out - again. OPK is lighter this morning, but I find that they are always darker in the afternoon/evening, so I'm hoping it wasn't a false alarm.

I got woken up by the rain at about 1am, my god it sounded like a monsoon!

Happy Friday everyone!

HaveALittleFaith · 15/06/2012 08:10

Yes I only had the hamster, not too snuggly!! I'm going to need matchsticks for my eyelids!

FriendofDorothy · 15/06/2012 07:36

I was home alone too last night. My parents have gone on holiday and The Mister was on a night shift. I was glad the cat joined me in bed for a while!

HaveALittleFaith · 15/06/2012 07:23

Morning all! I survived my first night alone in our home post-fire even if it took me hours to drop off only 3 more to go!! How is everyone?

Northey · 14/06/2012 21:49

Come on cavemare! Get winking!

HaveALittleFaith · 14/06/2012 21:49

Shave your legs ladies!

alwyn · 14/06/2012 21:34

Get ready for "servicing" then cavey!!

HaveALittleFaith · 14/06/2012 21:22

Reckon you'll be good cavey. Best undies for you too then! I on the other hand can wear my grundies til Monday!

CaveMum · 14/06/2012 21:19

No, he's not back until tomorrow evening. Going by previous OPK results, I'll probably OV late tomorrow/early Saturday.

HaveALittleFaith · 14/06/2012 21:14

Hooray for positive pant snot! Quick quick with the stud! Is HWHNN around?
You're very welcome als

CaveMum · 14/06/2012 21:07

Ok, trying not to get my hopes up, but I came home from work, popped to the loo and discovered a rush of pant snot. Not EW, but lots of it.
So I peed on a an Internet cheapy OPK and got the darkest line I've had all cycle so far, not quite a positive, but not far off it. Could I actually be getting ready to OV [crosses fingers]

Someone book me in to the stallion!

alwyn · 14/06/2012 20:44

Thanks faif

I dunno when I should be OVing, that's the problem. No idea what my cycle is!

HaveALittleFaith · 14/06/2012 20:38

I tried both the Tesco and Internet ones and never got more than a faint positive. I tried to tot up how much we'd spent with TTC so far at one point. Reckon it's at least £500! People who don't have trouble are naive to such woes! Since its early days for you I'd probably try not to get too hung up on when you ov but go for regular sechsing instead. I only started charting when my progesterone bloods came back on the low side - turned out to be due to poorly timed bloods in relation to my irregular cycles - and charting reassured me I was ovulating regularly! But MSB encouraged me to stop because it fuels the menkul and I had become a bit obsessive! Now I just pee on an opk til I get a smiley - started the cycle before last and haven't used many. The box says to start poas CD9 if your cycle is 26 days, so far I've got a smiley on cd10 one cycle and cd11 the next!
