Round up your ghosties and ghoulies and long legged beasties, the BESH are going to scare out the BFPs!

euro's Venice turd is less vomit-inducing than most of the turd in the Fail (but still pretty bad)

Wow, another reason to despise the Fail with everything I have. How DARE they?!

FSR I went to Venice in August. It wasn't whiffy. But I did see a turd floating down the grand canal when I was on a gondola. That put paid to any romantic ideas of romantically trailing my hand in the water, let me tell you!

Draf I've heard the BESH thing was prompted by a rash of Daily Hate articles about how selfish career women were leaving it too late. Yes, it has nothing to do with finding the right man, waiting for said man to mtf up enough to agree to breed, wanting to be financially stable, trying unsuccessfully from a young age and all the other things that lead to us aged 30 somethings not having a gaggle of sprogs following us around. (Or wot norfy sed. I've just moved on to the last page after typing this.)

Faif how exciting. :)

I think I might be coming down with some form of lurgy. Eugh. Still, better now than when I am on hollibobs.

I know you did, faify, and I liked that you wrote it. I did still cry though. Probably as much for the words as the picture.

Aw faith, as pint-of-bitter though I am, I don't actually think people should feel apologetic about their diffness - in my more reasonable days I am well aware that its not like they're plucking baybees out of my uterus.

Yes norf that's where it comes from. Is it not Bitter though?!

We tried to make our diffed statement sensitive - explaining it was a hard fought win and that we know baby of our friends have had losses and hardships. I iz hoping it came across ok - my friend who was expecting twins has lost both babies now :( I Pm'd her before I did my announcement.

Daily Mail is always right about everything. According to MIL.

I thought "barren evil selfish hags" was a quote from a Daily Mail article a few years ago. About wimminz on their 30s who deliberately avoided their natural destiny as mothers and had careers and cocktails and stuff instead. And who therefore deserve it when they can't have a baybee later.

Wow, just saw what BESH stands for - I really am a BESH :/

FaceBook is a work of evil. I have to hide people once the inevitable announcements show up. I was trying to be brave and keep one girl on there but every status since the 'we're expecting' one has been about feeling sick/tired/asking about hippobirthing etc. stupid stupid stupid. But ariel you really ought to slap SIL with a kipper, or maybe even something even more likely to sting.

I've now showered so will hopefully be heading to the shagzone shortly :) he's kinda rooted to watching South Park just at this second.

stirs up droid-vanishing spell in cauldron for draf

People keep saying 'do you want to take him/her with you?' to me. Makes me in that order. Yes, I do want to take your gorgeous perfect baybee away and keep it, but I think in practice you might object.

I can feel the droid approaching, already - boobs getting big & hurty, although PMT hasn't kicked in properly yet. Trying to remind myself that Husband has only done sechs once with me this month and it is not very likely at all that his swimmers lasted almost a week and/or I laid an egg early enough to get diffed. The sechs ishoos are not new for us (thanks all for your comments earlier in the week, didn't get a chance to respond at the time) but are particularly ishoo-y when I need his swimmers or he is just stealing another month from me.

What rie said - Barren Evil Selfish Hags. Barren, for obviousness. Evil cos we only don't have children at our age because we are evil child haters. Selfish cos we are too selfish to procreate, busy getting the abovementioned facials & having all the sechs. Hags because, the evil selfishness turns us into ugly scary old women with many cats & overgrown gardens.

My friend's husband said as I left theirs today "do you want to take DS with you?". My response of "don't even joke, I might not give him back" was a bit close to the bone.

I have been close to tears all day, I'm blaming the droid. Day six today, and I'm hoping the droid will be gone in a couple of days, rather than being halfway through...

And YES to Facebook. I'm thinking of hiding the baby picture ones, but it'd cut out SO MANY people it's probably not worth it.

Where did "BESH" come from, anyway! B I can understand, but ESH?

But I bet your skin isn't at all hag-like

us barrens ought to have great skin.with all the free time we have for facials, all the sleep we get with no kids to wake us up, and of course the men in loincloths feeding us fruit to make sure we get our 5 a day

Mine too! If I hid them all, there'd be no one left!

Oh rie :( Your SIL is a nightmare. Facebook is the devil though; my entire feed now is scan pics/birth announcements/baby pics.

Ah I meant nothing mean, rasp. Fancy a pint of Bitter? I'll join you. SIL posted her scan pics on FB today with a photo of her PFB holding them and smiling proudly. I nearly vomited with envy.

I used Boots Protect and Perfect for a while

Boots Protect and Perfect is the nuts!

rasp get away from the internet and get shagging :)

^^see? Evil & selfish comment

hangs head in shame

Ok - evening HAGS :) ill get the hang of it soon. I'm getting more bitter by the day :D

But the BESH are hags Barren Evil Selfish Hags!

Sorry, I was being obscure. It was to raspberry!!

Yes got pics - paid £5 for the privilege though! I think she realised how much it meant to us (I was blubbing!) and did us five shots though :)

frank - nursey tip - if it stings, wiggle your toes when it's gone in, it helps. Learnt that as a patient receiving clexane.

Sorry for all feeling hag like. I find my skin looks luffly and radiant with Boots protect and perfect serum if that helps...?!

I'm not sure if I'm symptom spotting, but I've had headaches off and on since my first injection and today had a rush of CM. I suppose it stands to reason that an increase in hormone levels will lead to an increase in CM, but there's a little paranoid voice in the back of my mind saying "what if I'm over stimulating?"

I definitely look like a hag. All grey and drawn and metaphorically warty.

Hags. We're HAGS!
