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

Yep, we were watching Gavin & Stacey last week so I dug out the photo album of me as a baby sat in the sand in front of the wall. And Pickle looks exactly like me - so sweet!

My house mate and I used to go on 'adventures' to Barry Island when I was at uni in Cardiff ok, ok UWIC! Flipping luffed it! Watching Gavin and Stacey makes me nostalgic :)

Excellent spidery catching riehie geebies. I did similar last week with a big 'un hanging from a door way at work!

frank I reckon it'll pop back up and the fiend will change its mind tomorrow!

I am a bit :( because I finished in my lovely role today and have to go back to the ward! Aargh! But 8 working days off first (yay!).

I shall make you visit me next time Northey although am quite happy to take your blood and look at it under a microscope. What are we looking for? plague? fleas? Lezbots? Naaaaah, that there aries REFUSED to come to Wales, but one day we'll tempt her. We'll have the Taff gang out in force and we'll go to Barry Island and eat ice-cream and pretend we're Nessa (middle-aged mothers with dubious pasts).

Ooh, was aries going to be in Wales??

Have got stupid blood test on Saturday morning now (in London) and am a bit wavery on whether to hurtle west afterwards, if it would only be for 24 hours...

just popping in to mark my place so this thread doesn't disappear into the ether, as I like to keep up with all your news.

Hello ESH witches. A Halloween thread is very good I think, 4 (FOUR, that's one mroe than three) of us got diffed on halloween in 2009 - not saying we're a bunch of ol' witches or anything.

northey/ariel If your weekend plans change pls to let me know? I'm flying in to Manchester (because seriously... that's like the closest place ) on thursday and I don't even have a riding lesson booked until Monday so I will be ready to kill by saturday, but promise not to kill either of you if you make it anywhere in the vicinity.

Well done on the spider-catching Rie. I usually just point the cat at them

Fanks for the FF burning. I've decided to ignore it

What's everyone up to this evening?

Rie you need one of these:

Spider catcher thingummy

I'm now on my second. They are brilliant and the only way I can deal with the little beasties when I am on my own.

I'm glad your allergy is sorting itself out. It sounded nasty!

I am so inordinately proud of myself I have to tell someone. I am alone in the house/office and saw a large-ish spider on the wall. I am no coward about creatures and stuff, but spiders are my thing. I removed it with a glass and a piece of card! By myself!

Eyes are almost normal now - I may be able to face the outside world before too long. Doc gave me an epipen and I have to go for "training" . I thought it was just a question of jabbing into my thigh! Oh well, may as well get used to injecting myself with needles. There's be enough of them before long.

Norfy he is only interested in stirring a clean caldron. So I will have to wait for the droid to bugger off.

paedo in a nursery.

Cd 4 here. The sechs drive is back in action and once the bloody (literally) druid has left the building I'm going to be so back on it. All in my head my arse. There is something hormonal in the uber long cycles that makes me totally disinterested.

Isn't KFZK going to stir your cauldron for you, eurowitch?

Morning hags. Well actually, afternoon. The day is flying by.

I slept so well last night. I didn't sweat like a paedo in a nursery for once either. Maybe it was the acu. She said I was running too hot or something equally woo and was going to try to cool me down.

It's CD 5 here and the worst is over. Sh@g week cometh.

FutitlityFiend is always being crap and indecisive for you, frank. Bastards. I'm sure you're right and you have ovulated though.

Ta dah!

Grr, temp dropped below the cover line this morning so now FF is saying I haven't ovulated

I think I have, it's CD bloody 35 after all. Hopefully it is a temporary blip, FF says that the cover line is just a guide, but if that's the case why now say that I haven't ov'd at all?!

[casts spell on FF servers]

Sorry about the lack of sleep norf.

A friend having private ivf cycle at the mo has just texted me to tell me she's taken herself off our local nhs list- her experience is the same as mine and she's given up on them. So releaved it's not just me that can't get on with them!

Work was ok, thanks, lem. They seem happy for me to have a gentle reintroduction to it. Have been awake since 3am feeling tense about it anyway, though.

Did Cumberbatch satisfy the ovulation horn?

Come on, I clearly have a frog. A nice slimy one. And if someone (for instance a BESH in-law) misbehaved, I throw it at them. It is better than the excessive swearing I did towards the end of the last fred.

I am too tired to get ready for bed. Someone send me please!

Ooh, I like your kind of witchcraft blond. After watching shit movies over the weekend, I have accio-ed Chris Evans in to the pit for my personal pleasure. Him of the Captain America and other such nonsense. Not the ginger radio presenter.

Norf, hope you're tucked up in bed by now, but, incase you were awake and worrying, fear not- the peacock feather is now tucked into my witchy hat, and the badger pelt is perfect for a shawl. The cabbage leaf skirt has been left with the woo fred. Frankly they're welcome to each other.

Obviously, as barren old hags, our familiars are all cats, no? That's mine there. The tabby one licking his bum. He's called Bernie.

Hmm, I am taking a few to bed, then. Speak to you all later/tomorrow/in a week. Had a long weekend and shit-loads to do at work and socially this week, so not sure when I'll next check in!

You can have as many as you like, all drizzled with lemon. The magic of witchcraft.

Hello - I am back, can I have some of the Cumbercatch clones? I think my body has caught on to the MC, I am horny I seem to be ovulating.

Sorry about the headache, norf, did work go okay otherwise?

Waves at the witches and pleased we've left that shit-fred behind (even if it was ALSO the one with my BFP). Well done to sinky for the new one. And fanks.
