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

In my Lamborghini, in my mind

It's all true true true except for the lies

Just found and watched Evil Giraffe on YouTube. Snortle.

OF COURSE that's where my name comes from! Glorious was my favourite shows, with Definite Article second. My family can recite large portions of both... When I went to see him it was with my mum and dad, it was quite weird and brilliant, and we were in the third row and his legs seemed to go on forever... Don't think my dad had quite the same response as me and mum though...

I will eat all the leaves on this tree. I will eat more leaves than I should.

Im going to see him next year. I'm not counting down the days (yet). I'm taking ghj, but he doesnt really get him. And certainly doesn't have a crush.

I've never met anyone else with a crush on Eddie! How v exciting. We can perv together.

Actually, one of my fave routines is the evil giraffe one.... Don't tell me that's where your name came from?!

Eddie is also on my list! I saw him live about ten years ago, he was wearing a leather miniskirt and I nearly dissolved right there.

I think perhaps I'm just a bit of a perv. Over everyone.

Except Paxman.

And you will continue to be faife

Mine is Eddie Izzard. Yes, even when in drag. He's just.... Lovely.

You are definitely thinking outside the box graf! I got severaly mocked for the Niles thing!

Oh, neither of those are weird! I have had both on my list for a long time Although it is perhaps possible that my definition of "weird" may not be accepted on here...

I would change mine from Niles from Frasier to Seth Green - he of Buffy and Scooby Doo 2 fame. Yum :)

Don't eat a whole bag a Haribo to yourself, trust me.

PAXMAN IS OLDER THAN MY DAD. Clarkson is slightly less appalling in that regard.

And anyway what were YOUR weirdo crush choices eh, eh?

Hopefully fsr is having a good weekend away from us

And draff, Clarkson is considerably worse than Paxman, so less of the !

Norf- I hadn't even considered needles going there! I'm assuming it's all linked points, so my left arm might be my wooomb, my foot might be an ovary or pituitary gland or something. I am so not ready for needles anywhere more "personal"

Clarkson is way weirder than Paxman, you witchy freak!

I wonder how frank is getting on so far.

Oh, and thanks for the "yes" vote, drizz! Although it was Clarkson not Paxman, I'm not that weird

Baybee showers def very American. But a nice idea, if you miss out all the stupid games and just have tea and cake. Or a nice idea for the diffed person anyway, and a whole range of potential emotions for everyone else.

Is it just me or are baybee showers just so American?!

That sounds like a good day norf. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I am finding I'm spending way too much time on MN and at the point of boredom where it doesn't change quick enough for my liking! I remembered I bought a tapestry kit (you know the kind, aimed at 8 year olds!) but I'm actually finding it quite therapeutic.

Nah, nice idea but the mum to be is a lovely person its all the other guests I don't like and to buy her passive aggressive gifts would mean that I was actually horribe, rather than just feeling like a horrible bitter jealous person (bad day today).

Besides I already bought a gift, not spending any more money.

Sorry, I meant winkly for the baby shower. Rhyming names. Gah.

Quite a decent day today. A long walk in the woods picking blackberries and that sort of thing. Have just had a massive bowl of risotto and two huge slices of apricot tart. Feeling cautiously relaxed.

What time are the needles, sinks? Do you need to do any preparation? Waxing and plucking? Will the acupuncturist go anywhere?

drizz, I hope you are having a lovely relaxing time in the pub, eating something deliciously unhealthy and canoodling with SB like a massive girl.

sinky, the baby shower sounds shit. Can you activate the BESH present list? The one with all the passive aggressive crap on it. Massive incontinence pads and stuff.

I have had a Friday night glass of wine. :) Wine is good.

driz have fun in pub, I made helfy chicken stew for dinner but am wishing I wasn't on stoopid health kick so I could drink a bottle glass of wine in pub.

sinky I will go to your needling if you go to the shower for me I don't mind a bit of needling, went when I kept getting horrific UTIs and haven't had one since, at least not one of the awful debilitating ones.

After shower from hell my only other plan is to visit my friend and help her take baby twins swimming. No I do not have any childless friends any more, but happen to know she only won twins after two rounds of ivf so don't feel at her.

Pubbage has been changed to pub-dinner as I can't be arsed to cook. Half an hour to estimated pub time :)

I agree that it might be nice, but the pressure cooker seems to be at a running boil thanks to counseling yesterday. So it is a bit scary. Also, I just read back lots from before and I wanted to give norf a mahoosive hug, even if it is not allowed. And tell her to stop being so English. Cry in Wales, and take your time. Working too much is NOT GOOD.

Good luck with the needle woman buggywitch. I have to admit I have been to squeemish to try that approach. But it can't be worse than counseling

Pub sounds good. Am keeping up my 1950s housewife pretence and cooking a chicken casserole tonight. But have just chased ghj out the kitchen with the Big Knife because he was attempting the worst sort of back seat chef-fery.

Lunch might be naice drizz, she's sure to be kind given her previous. And it might be a bit uplifting ins way. winkly, just commiserations for the baybee shower. Never been to one that hasn't made me want to eat my own face.

How are you norf, our delicate witchling? How today has been a bit less madness inducing.

Am v apprehensive about the needle lady tomorrow. I suspect I'm building this out of all proportion, but meh. It's never stopped me before.

Horror winkly baby-showering. Well actually showering with my own baby is high on the wish list. But the present-giving cooing type I strongly dislike (and am allowed to avoid!)

I have to decided whether I want to have lunch tomorrow with a lovely friend who MCed this summer (twins) but texted me to give me fair warning of her brand new diffage, only 6 weeks so far, but still diffed. I think I'd like to see her, but I am a bit apprehensive about the dealing with diffeds. Maybe see how I feel...

I siffed some soup for you euro, it is less calorific without the extra protein.

Any other plans, except the franks horror in Dorset?

In that case, welcome giraffe! I just went back and approve of both you and your BESHtionaire. Although sorry Jeremy Paxman (sp?). I suppose I owe you an intro, although my waily self-centred posts from today might have given you a clue .

So I am lemon, 33 as is Skinny Bint (SB) my lovely husband. We've been TTC since June 2010, totally unexplained after all the tests bar immunes, and I had a SO+IUI win in August, due two days after luffly faif but that became a natural MC at 7+4. The clinic does not want to treat us until I've had a normal cycle after this one. (MC messes with your cycle, so it might well be 2013...)

Oh and I did my presentation and it went well. And I look nice, and have agreed to go to the pub with SB when he's home too. It is the WEEKEND :)
