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

Evening girls! I just saw on another thread that OPKs aren't much good while on clomid - does anyone know? We spent £10 on the bloody things on amazon last night. Also bought some conceive plus to get things going for the next few months. SWI starts in ernst tonight if I can get my arse off the sofa and in the shower for a wash then into sexy gear

Congrats on the scan faith, did you get a pic? I've heard that a number of places don't really do them now as they don't need them for records so they've stopped making it available.

Glad the scan went well faithy. I saw the pic in the other place - so lovely!

Poor tired farty frankel. Do you feel any different otherwise?

Oh goodness frank you are brave - I think I would take pain over getting ice cubes out and rubbing them on myself.

Did an experiment - using an ice cube definitely makes a difference! I didn't bother with it tonight and it definitely stung (stang?) more.

Don't know if its the injections, but I feel so tired at the moment and I have the most awful wind . Thank god HWHNN isn't here!

Congrats faif

I went to Canada in January this year, the first half of the holiday was cold but crisp and bright and lovely. They had a cold snap after we'd been there just under a week, daytime temperature of -35 to -40 celsius, truly horrible. Miami and the.Florida Keys are a much better idea in my opinion.

Yay for waving bean Faithy

I've never had a winter holiday, can definitely recommend Venice in September, but apparently it's whiffy in the summer and chuffin cold in the winter! [helpful]

Hello all. We were at the hospital forever! Good news, definitely a baybee in there! Little monkey wasn't in the right position to be measured so back in the next fortnight to try again but it was wriggling away - it waved at one point and puts its hands behind its head! Waited nearly 2 hours for 5 minutes with consultant re my urinary tract stuff. She says low risk pregnancy, just want a GTT because my BMI is 30 but that's fine. :)

I went to Munich in February and July and did a pilgrimage to Salzburg. It was snowy and very, very cold in Feb but luffly in July.

Sorry the horsey was a bit slow Frank!

But only an hour till potion-warming time!

(was brave and looked in ante natal)

Yes it appears it all went well for her.

Just wondering the same. Hopefully she's busy being gooey & emailing the scan picture to all & sundry.

Any sign of Faith after her scan?

BTW, my BF's radio silence turned out to be a false alarm - she left her phone in her car overnight - silly baggage! Still no sign of impending labour, so I'll have to wait it out

1 hour and 45 minutes to go

I was just googling "tunnon", to discover exactly what sort of obscure racing terminology it was...

How long till tonight's jab, fsr?

Tunnon = run on

Morpheus was 7th of 12 . Ran like a big baby and hated the ground. On his breeding he needs a decent surface to tunnon and all the rain last night will have been his undoing.

Only 73 hours till Frankel Time. Feeling both and

Ew.

Indeed, Rie but Norfy mentioned winter hols. I've driven through Austria in the summer and it is absolutely beautiful.

I'm not sure I could really describe it, Rie. It was, er, kind of lumpy and a bit deformed, I suppose.

Draf I'm with you on the shops thing. It's ridiculous. Malls are the way forward in winter. At least you only have to unbundle yourself once then.

I hate the cold though. :(

Ohhh, that sounds nice. I like cold weather, if it's dry. Thermal vest, normal vest, top, jumper, coat, tights, trousers, socks, good shoes, scarf, hat, gloves - what's not to like? I love tramping about in the cold.

Though I can't be doing with the shops in winter. There I am all bundled up for the outdoors and they insist on putting hot blowers over the doors that dry out my contacts and make me light headed with the sudden change in temperature. Ridiculous.

You could always go in the summer, Euro. It can be quite warm then.

What did a syphilitic fanny look like?

norfy I went to Vienna in January for my 30th many years ago . There's quite a lot to see and do but bloody hell was it cold. -14 when we were there. As it was a surprise, I wasn't well-equipped and had to wear KFZK's baggy in all the wrong places long johns under my jeans.

I'd never go back. It was just too cold.

I do have an amusing to me Vienna anecdote though. We went to visit a place called the Fool's Tower. It was a very eerie place where medical experiements were conducted (we found out after we went that the nazis had used it for eugenics stuff ). Anyway, there is a section where they are showing models of various diseases. There was one where I couldn't work out which part of the body was displayed, so I asked KFZK loudly, what it was. Apparently it was a fanny. A syphiliptic fanny. Oops. In my defence, I had never seen one from that angle before (it was the gynaecologist's view). Oh how we laughed....

How did Morpheus do?

Oh yes, and a big fat "Ooo Matron!" @ "hands in a furry muff"

If you all end up in Norfolk I'll join you for a drinky-poo. I'm on the Suffolk/Cambs border

I want a winter holiday in Vienna, to drink hot chocolate and look enchanting with snowfkakes on my eyelashes and my hands in a furry muff.

I will probably end up in Norfolk too.

Euro you only need a set of weights for Da Shred, and maybe a mat if the floor is hard. Lots of people seem to use tins/bottles of water as weight substitutes. I have a small set of weights, I usually start off with my 0.5kg weights and after a week or so get out the 1.5kg monsters . I appear to have lost my 1kg set

In other news, Frankel's little brother Morpheus has his racecourse debut in the 1.40 at Nottingham this afternoon [excited]
