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

Norfolk has the distinct benefit of not needing to spend 11 hrs scrunched up in an economy class seat in a flying tube to get there.

I have 1000s of airmiles (from all the biz travel). I just tried to use them to upgrade. No airmiles upgrades are available on that flight. I have 1000s of airmiles BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO REDEEM A SINGLE ONE.

Hello all. Had interview. Twas ok - answered all the questions. Really don't think I'll get it but I'm not bothered! Scan is this afternoon, will come back and tell all I promise :)

rie you dirrty mermaid!

euro I have always wanted to go to the Maldives, am very Fancied it for our honeymoon but we were a bit skint and chose to start married life with no debt rather than the fancy honeymoon. Maybe for our 10 year anniversary?!

I am looking at booking a winter holiday. I don't want to go to the Maldives. I want to go to Norfolk

FSR I think the bleeding is entirely random - based on whether or not you hit a little capillary that is not visible on the surface. I bled about half the time and had not a drop the other half.

What equipment do you need for the 30 day Shred? I bought the DVD to use when I was away for business loads a few weeks back cos I thought I could use it in my room, but ended up in hotels with gyms so it didn't even make it out of the box.

faif how was scannage?

Rie that would be hilarious! BTW, when I was preparing for my colposcopy in the summer I think I was marvelling on this thread how much the cervix looks like a pen1s! It really does!

I am feeling rather happy this morning as we have finally booked a holiday. Yippee. Winter sun in the blissful Maldives. I'm really happy that we finally managed to book something. A few days ago we managed to decide on something and planned to book it the next morning, only to find there was no availability left, so we had to start all over again! But we have booked something now that looks fantastic.

Hahahaha! Oh please please do!

Frankel that tiny prick would be enough to send me into a tizz!

Good luck at scans and interviews everyone. Well done on sending the email Norf.

I was wondering about these scan pics. Do you think it would be in terribly bad form to text a picture of a colonoscopy and say "And look, here is a picture of my internal organs and their contents in return!"

Well done on sending the email Norf and good luck for the scan, and interview, Faith.

I've been very lazy on the exercise front. I've got the 30 Day Shred DVD and use it in fits and starts. Thing is, when I'm doing it I really feel the difference and feel good, but once I've lapsed it is very hard to motivate myself out of my bed half an hour early to get it done. I really should get back into it though, I can feel some of my clothing starting to tighten

Yes, or maybe a long walk or something.

But first I am going to get up and have a biscuit.

Ah a flaw in the plan! Well it seems the rain should ease by this afternoon so maybe you can go later?

Yes, but all my swimming stuff is in Wales! And frankly I think I need a slightly more hardcore exercise to start to shift this weight (my swimming is not really the torpedo-like zooming of my dreams...)

Only hardcore runners go out in the pouring rain! What about a swim? Is there a pool near you?

Yes good practice to be interviewed, however it's 'informal' so I'm not sure what to expect...I did it 5 times in my sleep! :)

It's always good practice to go through an interview every now and again.

I was vaguely wondering about trying a run this morning. Maybe not...

Here too. I have dreamt about the interview all night! Irony is not sure I really want the job, just want it over with. Ah well, will keep me distracted.

Fanks. Good luck at scan.

It's pouring here.

Well done norf. Have a bucket of prawns as your reward :)

Ouchy fsr. It will get easier!

I have emailed work.

Frankel that tiny prick would be enough to send me into a tizz! I'm such a wimp

When I say "bleed" I mean there was a teeny tiny speck of blood after taking the needle out. Wasn't gushing Monty Python-Stylee

Send the bloody email woman! Don't make me come over there!

Well done on the stabbing, fsr. How did you make yourself bleed? Is there a big artery in the stomach fat?

I have drafted the email in a separate document. I now just need to screw up the courage to open my email and paste it and send it. I have no idea how I have ended up so wussy about such a trivial thing

Chatty bunch aren't you?!

Rie, sod the kippers, etc for Mr Rie have a instead. He is a twit

Thanks chaps, I'm hoping it'll even me out although I'm not getting hopes up as I read loads of stories about people getting diffed easily after a lap & dye but no such luck for me. However, we are now determined to shag like the proverbial rabbits every other day from now until February to give it our best shot.

Sorry to hear things are shitty bugs, hope it's a fast passing phase. It's so friggin hard to fit all the necessary bits of life in all the time, nothing ever seems to give but you are definitely doing the right thing trying to get loads of nice stuff in.

northy easing liquid sounds VERY specialist I reckon faith is letting us know something a little too personal there although on a serious note, I can only really use persil or really cheap stuff or I come out in a rash faith so may very well be the easing liquid!
Used to get thrush terrible while I was on the pill to. I don't think I'll ever use contraception ever again! Probably won't need to either by the look of things :/

It's crap when you never see each other. You are not alone here in having a hard time with that. Not that that is much comfort.

X-posts. Sorry to hear about the sore bum bugs. Better out than in. Just keep telling yourself that.

faif I think thrush is really common in pregnancy from the hormone changes. I've had it a few times BUT only ever on the Pill. I've been on the Pill for 18 months in total. Never had it in the other 34.5 years of my life. So I'm seeing a pretty obvious correlation there!
