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

What what what? New Bond is out? Thought that was next week?

Don't do scary films since watching It when I was about 10. Error. Still scared of clowns

I don't do scary. I watched The Shining on my own at 18 and had to sleep wth my Mum. Cured me of scary films for life. Fortunately MSB isn't that fussed. We will be seeing the new Bond though.

Is it bad that when I read grey mullet I was thinking Peter Stringfellow?!

Sinister looks TERRIFYING. I want to see Looper though. And the new Bond.

Now BESHes. I have an entire grey mullet in my kitchen for anyone requiring fishslaps. You need to get in quick though, as it is about to be dinner.

Ahem. Thanks, guys. That's better. :)

rasp I do hate fb but people text and phone & arrange in person meetings to tell me they're diffed so I just hate everything :)

Smoked salmon slaps for draf

Home now watching homeland and thinking marilynne glenville had best win me a baybee if she's making me stay sober for 3 months!

Yes FB is the work of the devil. Cruella De'vil. Especially when trying to win a baybee! I left for a couple of months last year, just couldn't take it any more. Those tickers are pure evil. You know you can hide the updates from those? My colleague actually said oh you can have one of those after your 12 week scan. I said: no. No No. NO! :)

Ps I luff red dwarf too.

Alright BESH?

Sorry posting is still sporadic - job does not leave much time for posting stuff on MN at the moment.

Nice to see the new blood posting and keeping the thread entertained! I'm still looking for a new job, one which would hopefully leave more time for evening activities (no, not that type, you dirty betches!) and catching up with people!! Have two options at the minute, with a nice agency. One is an in-house corporate tax person at an insurance company and one is a group accountant at a law firm - need to revamp my CV before I get put forward for the latter though!

I am also getting fed up of those stupid BabyGaga FB updates which show me how far gone people are. Coupled with one silly moo talking about how her friends are avoiding her since she became diffed. It's no wonder - it's ALL SHE TALKS ABOUT!!!

Went to see Looper at the flicks last night, was very good! But now want to see Sinister and CGH (computer geek husband) is chicken!

Well, in that case draff, may I be the first to hit you repeatedly with a trout?

No need to thank me.

rasp, I approve of Dave Lister as your inappropriate. V current. Quite enjoyed the first episode of Red Dwarf X. Against my better judgement after Back to Earth.

Oh yeah, rasp, facebook can fuck right off. My cousin comments on almost everything I post with some sort of child-related thing. I said I was getting up early this morning to watch the F1 qualifying, she comments about being up at that time due to her children. It makes me unreasonably screamy. I take a malicious sort of comfort in knowing that her kids take after her husband's rather unfortunate looks, and then hate myself for being such a horrible person.

Pure love thing sounds ridiculous. I'm glad I missed it!

Today there has been spotting. Today is day 22 and I'm usually 30 days, and theoretically 5 DPO today. I am trying not to get my hopes up for an implantation bleed, as this also happened last month and the droid appeared bang on time and stayed for a fortnight...

faith I think a few of us here might like MATV (name) but yes he is rather lovely although currently in the dog house for being so drunk last night he forgot where the loo was. He didn't pee anywhere which is good but he did wake me up one to many times trying to find it and then fell asleep on it for the best part of an hour.

Ok, shameful crush, if I can't have max or maybe benedict cumberbatch or could I have James gandolphini (think it started back in the day of the sopranos?) oh and Craig Charles but rather his character in red dwarf-lister?

Witch I am an unexplained by the look of it :/ everything else is all good.

Anyone else here hate FB? Just logged on to be greeted with yet a another 'so and so are please you announce that we are expecting'. I was tempted to put 'expecting what exactly. I feel like having a mamouth tantrum and screaming WHY THEM and NOT ME!!! I'm also feeling a very bad person as I'm really not able to be happy for them just right now, even though she is lovely, a really nice person and they are I'm sure going to be perfect parents. But so would me and MATV

Boo for shit shower winkly. Baby showers seem to be getting very popular? When did us Brits get so American I wonder?

How old are you rasper? 3 years 4 months would knock the frolic out of anyone. You are most welcome here. Yes, the pure love thing was that silly woman from a while ago. Did you see the end? She was bloody diffed, obviously, and found out in the airport on the way to her honeymoon or something. (couldn't read it firsthand without smashing up phones and laptops, so someone had to tell me, hence my bitter vagueness)

lemon, I am so impressed you got through that homework. I can't even think how I would bring myself to start. Are you glad you did it?

Well done for baby shower hideousness, winkle. It sounds awful, and you are a saint for lasting the distance.

I think time has sped up since I started concentrating on the house not the baby!

Wow, that is unbelievable. Does time speed up after all the checks? It feels like not that long ago you had your win!

10 weeks tomorrow! Time is going really fast now!

:( for whiny niece. Hopefully yours will be cheerier, dot! How long to go now?

As for me, I had a really lovely day, despite a slightly hangover start. A bit of exercise, healthy (fish) shopping at the market, the lunch with the diffed after MC friend, which was really, really nice. My horrid homework, which was less bad than I feared, a cuddle with nephew, who is too big for cuddles and just wants to climb things and now cooking tea :)

Well done on the needles sinky they sounds rather pleasant more than my counseling, I did my home work and used up a pack of tissues, incidentally Keeping stuff crossed for appointments coming through.

And at the working full time comment and feeling like a spare part, winkly but very well done on surviving.

Welcome rasberry just a shameful crush and you're properly in.

And yes, faif is too nice, which is why I like her even if she was my cluster-differ. But why you want to play seems a fair enough question.

YAY for fresh blood though. Dinner needing attention. Will be right back

I used to go straight to sleep as soon as she put the needles in!

I have spent the afternoon with my sister and get two kids a d my niece is the grumpiest little cow on the face of the planet. I know she isn't well but she is so bloody whiny!

Working back - not got to page 11 yet

YAY for wine euro. We had some too. I am officially still a lightweight (feeling hangover after two glasses of wine is wrong, I think). Well done on chicken stew winkly. How did the shower go? And good on you not actually being horrible.

Well draff we'll comment on Clarkson vs Paxman later . But you're in.

The (Fri)day sounds good and wholesome, norf. Hope you're in Wales by now with fabulous diving HCG scores, but am sure I'll find it.

Faif snap re: waiting for stuff to change. That was me waiting for SB and pubbage. But I have only just come on MN today. Will tell all about my adventures in a minute.

Oh and FRESH blood and perving on the Saturday morning, exciting stuff!

I was asked "are you still working full time?" with a proper look

sinky your needling sounds quite pleasant! The baybee shower was actually worse than I thought, I was the only childless one there and I was just completely irrelevant. I feel like shit :(

Tis true faife. You are a true BESH. You have to stick around, even diffed to let some of your niceness rub off on the rest of us

I like MATV a lot rasp. His name, although I'm sure he's lovely too. Appointment sounds v exciting- Im in a similar position, although with PCOS rather than unexplained (that's right? Or are they blaming the endo?). But 6 months on am still waiting for an appointment to tell me if ivf is the next step for me or not. Hence the needles as a means of distraction.

Not feeling overly fertile Norf, but very relaxed. Didn't hurt at all. Weird really. A gentle knock which was him tapping the needles in, and that's it. I got a warm feeling around some of them, which is apparently a sign theyre doing good (?) and then I was left to sleep relax under a heat lamp for a while. Whole appointment was 90 min, so god knows how long I relaxed for...

I have my smelly herbs, then another appointment next week.

Here it iz:

Argh, and be welcome to our new pirate Fred. Be finding yourself a parrot and a wooden leg and hop on board for the trip of a lifetime. Argh.

Finally, tell us how you found the BESH and why you'd like to join us pliz.

(Tis on the pirate Fred, if I am being sooper naice I must suggest they look for the BESH pearl -argh!).

But I am still a true ESH because when my house burned down, the main thing I mourned the loss of was the brand new bottle of gin

I'm not sure what adaptations we added, we definitely added a 'Pliz to explain how you found the BESH and how long you have been trying to win a baybee'. I will hunt for it.

Glad the needles were good sink!

Well I never thought I could feel like an innocent little thing but I do now

I will work on formatting but I'm afraid it's not my strong point although I can manage emoticons. I'm also definitely not one for spreading baby dust.

My rather unexciting story is that we starting 3 years and 4 months ago with concerted efforts being made for at least the last two years. When I say concerted effort I'm sure you know I mean peeing on anything that moves to predict Ov, checking pant snot and screaming down the house in excitement when I get a little egg appear on my CBFM. However, the bitch that bleeds always turns up so 6 months ago I had a lap & dye which took away a bit of Endo and an ovary stuck to my womb, all else hunky dory. After all that, still not a sniff so our follow up appointment is in 9 days :) at which point the consultant had said we can be referred for IVF. I had a letter come through from the hospital this morning and burst into tears thinking the appointment had been put back so I burst into tears but then opened it and it was a reminder. So then I cried because I felt like a dick for crying. My MATV (meat and two veg seeing as he has to have another name - is that the right sort of thing?) thinks I'm bonkers beyond retrieval .

p.s. moment of pure love? If that's a reference to a thread here a while ago - i nearly puked. Even MATV gawked.... then said something very rude
