Welcome to the 2.30 from Mumsnet Towers. The fillies have been groomed to within an inch of their lives and are raring to go.

Late entries for the race are required to locate and fill in the BESHtionnaire so that their form can be assessed.

Bring on the stallions!

No idea norf. When I first met her she was fine. The idea of working under her makes me want to cry :( Any comment I make is responded with either the implication that I'm stating the obvious or that I'm wrong and frankly plain stupid! It's one thing as my peer but if I get it as a junior .....it's quite another. I dunno, maybe she think I want her job I really don't maybe she just thinks I am thick? Maybe I've pissed her off without realising it (I do have foot in mouth syndrome).

I like the superhero theme. I'm so having a cape!

Superheroes sounds good to me, FrankelMyDearIDontGiveADamn.

Any idea why she doesn't respect you, faithy?

FrankelSaysRelax · 26/07/2012 18:47

Found it! Next thread was proposed as Superheroes. Anyone want to throw other suggestions into the ring?

FrankelSaysRelax · 26/07/2012 18:38

Almost Faith, Wednesday 1st August Grin

HQ have started removing the posts so apologies if the thread looks a bit odd. It's almost over anyway!

I'm sure there was mention of anew topic earlier in the thread, I'll see if I can find it.

HaveALittleFaith · 26/07/2012 18:03

This that Wednesday 2nd frankelly? I'm sorry everyhthjng has been in turmoil for you both lately. Not fun.

One more day til holibobs! I'm so ready for it! People at work are finding out where they'll be working and Most people are fairly happy. I've realised my likely to be future boss is funny with me because she doesn't respect me. I have no idea what to do about that. Any suggestions?

Imagine winning a baybee after three tries Hmm .......doesn't compute.

Northey · 26/07/2012 17:10

Would quite like to go, actually. Bastard work and their insistence that I do stuff on weekdays in exchange for my salary. I shall cheer him on from afar.

FrankelSaysRelax · 26/07/2012 15:10

Speaking of which, Frankel runs his next race at Goodwood next Wednesday (I'll be there of course!). He runs in the Sussex Stakes which he won last year, the race will be live on Channel 4 and is due off at 3.10pm.
His odds will be too prohibitive to back him - he takes on 7 other horses and the best price you can get is 1/10 which means for every £10 you bet you will only get £1 of profit Shock

I expect you all to watch [stern stare]

Northey · 26/07/2012 14:46

Have they at least altered the spec or promised him additional support? Fuckers. At least Frankel won't let you down like pesky military bosses.

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 14:24

Good plan.

I was talking to myself anyway. ;)

FrankelSaysRelax · 26/07/2012 14:20

He's back on Monday but I don't see him till next Friday. He had to give them an answer today.

I think I'm going to ask MN Towers to delete my posts on this, I don't want to cause HWHNN any problems.

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 14:12

Frankel When do you see him again to perhaps discuss in person?

I know. Sorry but how fucking unfair is that?!! Couple cycles of "fun" and voila! And they bitch and moan for those two cycles about how long it takes!!! Hmm Envy

No 12 week scan for me, sinking! If only.

FSR the visit sounds great. I hope your man finds a solution that works for you both.

kick that's how it's supposed to happen - a couple of cycles of fun trying and then diffed.

Wow Frankle el horso looks amazing. My dad used to own race horses but I think he was more into it for the flowers and the whiskey Grin

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 11:32

Frankle that sounds absolutely rubbish but awesome that you have the kind of relationship where you still thank each other for the support. We've only just got married (November last year) but we both try to make sure the other knows when we appreciate them. Even if it's a thanks for cleaning or for sitting together and chatting.

I hope he manages to sort things out. There is nothing worse on either side than feeling helpless... :(

I have a congratulations to pass on but need to gather my green monster. Third cycle and diffed

sinkingflameofhilarity · 26/07/2012 10:53

Glad you're ok euro, when's the 12 week scan?

Beshes, we're up to 940 posts. What shall our next fred topic be?

queenrollo · 26/07/2012 09:58

FSR it's not the same because HOLB isn't military but he has been having a really rubbish time at work, and has felt so de-moralised and stressed by it all. He even sat and cried one day working from home when his boss sent him a stroppy e-mail. It's really not like him to be so affected by work and so I think I understand a little from your point of view how hard it is to have to sit by and offer nothing more than a listening ear. My husband is also a perfectionist in his work and highly regarded in his wider sector so for his boss to treat him the way he is has been very hard to cope with.

I've been popping in and reading but you do talk a lot in here! I'm feeling OK, had my booking in with the M/W yesterday which was much better than I feared. Just waiting for my 12 week scan now.

eurochick · 26/07/2012 09:38

That sounds really tough for him, FSR. The long distance thing must be enormously difficult. He sounds like a lovely man.

My BiL is in the army and ends up moving from base to base every couple of years. that kind of life was probably not too bad when officers had non-working wives who trailed around after them, but causes huge disruption for my SiL's career (she is never in one place long enough to be entitled to mat leave for one thing) and his stepson's schooling.

Good news drizz.

On a lighter note, I just watched the Olympic flame pass my office. That was quite a good start to the day!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 26/07/2012 09:24

Fingers crossed something nice and base-based can be found for HWNN, frankel as you really deserve some time together. I am Shock about coping with the long-distance thing for so long. And poor but wonderful HWNN, it is time he gets to enjoy your company!

Meanwhile have muchos fun with TheRealFrankel later.

My cd2/3 scan was bloody, very bloody. But the content of it was good - many follies, which mean (hopefully) that once the body figures out this baby making malarky we can continue to have them forever more. Starting to inject this evening Shock
