The BESH Fillies Are Under Starters Orders

Oh cavey. Bet that website's bookmarked, isn't it ?!

I'm so childish. I sniggered about him having CCTV trained on his box. I suspect they will do the same for some of the athletes at the Olympics. Snarf.

I also hope it is a horse and not a hamster in a box coz that would be a VERY expensive hamster and I really hope it can do tricks!

Gritted teeth congratulations - the longer I am here, the less I congratulate. I now avoid!!

Shew that's a lot for a Frankel! I guess potentially flashes as well could give him a scare and he could damage himself? Lots of money down the toooobes if he breaks a leg?

Ah, the gritted teeth congratulations is never fun but perhaps best to get it over and done with?

Work wasn't too bad today to be fair, just very hot!

On the balcony, sort of working. Just hope pg-downstairs neighbour does not come in soon, because I have noticed but not congratulated yet. And I do like her, just not her diffage, so cannot put that off forever.

Evening programme sounds good faif. I ran this morning and discovered it was still really hot at ridiculously early hours. So take it easy or make it a late one!

PS Sorry work is so shit!

15 mins til I can escape! Plan to pop and see Dad and DNephew and then a walk later when it's a bit cooler.

I had German measles when I was about 9. It was great - I was spotty and obviously contagious but didn't feel particularly ill :)

I am still spotting! Need to droid/Druid to naff off now!

I do think following evidence is better than being dusted in baby fluffiness!

Scary stuff.

Took me virtually all afternoon to clean the windows. There are 4 of them

Now onto the washing though. At least I am doing this thoroughly... (I wonder if my DH would believe that?)

You'd be surprised

Task 3 also foiled by technology and everyone and their dog being on holidays.

Onto taks 4/4 that I have tried to avoid most of today. But back outside first. As I had to call lots of people, I went back in...

Yeh I am not a huggy, lover of all things soft and cuddly.

Baby-dusters are younger, surely? I always thought they sounded preppy - like early-twenties (and younger!)

I hope no one in their thirties says "baby dust"

WHY is there not a vomit icon????

Outside in the shade now. Much better than inside. But warm still. Not sure I can be arsed to do all the bits I hoped to achieve today. One at least foiled by technology.

I am scared of being lynched by baby-dusters, aren't you? It is bad enough to be a barren hag wihout being assaulted by dust. I already have conjunctivitis (thank you chlorinated swimming pool, when I forgot my goggles).

sniggers

"Baby-dusters"

Snort

It is lovely out there though. I am loving the heat.

Also funny that I have figured out how to control the massive highs of insulin resistance in the heat and people on the diabetes forum (who have been diagnosed for years) are throwing their hands up in disgust.

I am like..."increase basal, increase bolus, eat, go for a walk" - nothing like a walk to bring the sugar back down. Come on people! 6 and a half weeks in FFS!!!!

Yeh I am not sure I would venture out and say something as daring as that.

You could get eaten...

I only say that here and in my other home (the 10+ers). I would be too scared of baby-dusters or unreasonable types elsewher .

No breeze?!? I could cope with shade and copious cold drinks. I think maybe my laptop battery can cope with hanging out on the balcony...

I love that there are people on MN who are prepared to say "follow the evidence and make your own mind up".

I am outside washing the windows (obviously not not as that would be an electronic hazard) but there is no breeze.

If you drink enough, I am sure you could make one though

Well done on your tons of work though!!! :)

Afternoon fillies!

Good on you getting the blood tests done kick. I am impressed. And ignore the TTC ban, I say. The NHS is great at evidence based argumentation when it suits them. But when it is only a "minor inconvenience" to the patient they like to err on the side of caution, which I suppose is defensible if annoying. Follow the evidence and make up your own mind, I say. But with you and euro on this fred, I think I am preaching to the converted

I have done an amazing amount of work today but now I am tired. Surely it is time to sit under a tree in the shade and enjoy a gentle breeze? Oh and I am definitely drenching the poor sonographer in clotty blood tomorrow. Poor, poor thing...

Crisis avoided - even the NHS website says that there is actually no proof it will hurt a potential baby.

I am not having the second jab though. I will cross that bridge after a baby.

You're the first person I've heard of who had German Measles! It's not exactly something that worries me! But one of my husbands mates at work has just had mumps

How annoying kick. I decided when they made me get tested for rubella that I wouldn't be having the vaccine. I don't work with children or anything and can control how much I come into contact with them, so I decided that it was a risk that I was personally willing to take. However, I had antibodies (as well i should have given the awful, awful bout of German measles I got as a child).

cave

How long after the druid (short hairy man) is it??

So go to the doctors today for the MMR shot because apparently my Rubella isn't showing up. Grrrr so they tell me I shouldn't TTC for 4 weeks, then go back and have the second shot and not TTC for another 4 weeks? Fuck that.

They kindly took blood (without appointment) to test my overall glucose and should have results on Monday / Tuesday. If my levels are normal (below 8.5%), I am going back on TTC horse.

Decided that the first MMR (medical journals) will protect up to 95% of MMR stuff. Will bag the second shot then if my hba1c levels are ok for us to TTC. Plus, in all the babies born from like 1971 - 1989 of women who had MMR shot, none were born with any problems. The issues are theoretical because it's a live vaccine.

I am not waiting another 2 months! The one and ONLY time I trusted what the nurses said without looking it up myself. Idiot! Anyway, at least it's all in line with getting my levels back. If my levels aren't normal, I won't TTC and I will potentially get the second shot (doubtful though!). And if they are, I won't get the second shot anyway...

Oh, I am sorry norf. I agree with our resident nurse as always. Water is the answer, painkillers to make sure you cope until it is all better.

Midcycle spotting is weird cavy. Like faif I only get it just before droid invasion. Do mention it if and when you see someone at a clinic again. Fingers crossed this is not fortnightly droidage returning.

Woohoo about joining the fun in August kick. What test needs to be done, again?

Project BMI baybee has resulted in a 6:30am run (to the bakers). So here is a freshly showered, breakfasted and smug lemon. I can confirm that the legs hurt after 5 lots of exercise in as many days. Start as you mean to go on...

Oh and I woke up at 6:15 panicking about all the stuff I need to finish in the next week and a half. So feel free to kick me, if you spot me here too much today. The other reason was SB's hogging the duvet, because I had gone to sleep under a sheet only, but between 3 and 5am I fancied some of the duvet too, and was denied

Painkillers and hydration norf!

My head hurts. Ow.

We are embarrassingly considering starting rumpy pumpy from august

I am going to hooker around and get tge test done ASAP
