The Genuine BESH Palais. To misquote Carlsberg, we're probably the barrenest TTC-ers in the world...

We are Barren. We are Evil, on account of having left procreating until our 30s. We are Selfish, thinking only of careers and money and cars and holidays. And lastly, we are Hags. Welcome to the BESH gin palace. Babydusters and instadiffers need not apply.

But I never have Things! This is strange and unusual new ground! Grin

My neighbours are having a barbecue. WIBU to squawk across several gardens the fence and beg a sausage? I've had to bring my washing in because of it, so fair's fair...

CaptainMoll · 23/04/2013 17:15

OV bleeding/spotting is A Thing. I've read it before on the internets, so it must be true. Grin

evilgiraffe · 23/04/2013 15:46

I think it must be, euro, I can think of no rhyme nor reason for it Hmm HOTB will be late home tonight, too, grr. Still, with a week of illness-induced abstinence following a week of droid-induced abstinence, he shouldn't be too difficult to seduce Grin

EuroShaggleton · 23/04/2013 15:26

Wot hest sed, draf.

Maybe it's the month of random EWCM? Having not had any for almost two years, I am practically drowning in the stuff at the moment. And half a world away from KFZK. What cr@p timing.

merk what's occuring?

I went to the gym this morning for the first time since I was preggers. I am very unfit. But I like the gym in Merica. Most people in it have considerably more heft than I do!

You're laying an egg. Shag immediately.

Alright, riddle me this, BESHes: I never ever get EWCM, ever. So why today (CD15) do I have EWCM - not much, granted, but that is more than usual - complete with fetching brown streaks? I don't generally get spotting between droids either, but this is the third random day of spotting since droid finished - and droid actually lasted a normal length of time (six days bleeding, two days spotting) for the first time since last July. Granted, last week's stomach bug was horrific, but it shouldn't make any that much difference, surely?

I am confused! Confused

Well maybe not impenetrability. More just that we are forgetting our BESHly heritage and not creating any more. I need a journey and a legacy. Because I like shit reality telly and so have come to expect these things. Or maybe I am talking shit.

TWinklyLittleStar · 22/04/2013 20:36

In what way Norfolk?

Northey · 22/04/2013 20:12

Arf at peeing on the old queen's face. And i speak as one quite fond of the monarchy. Can POTOQF be our new acronym? I sometimes worry we are losing our impenetrability.

Keeping everything crossed for the fivers on Friday. Otherwise I am knackered and sleepy...

Thanks for the not-menkulling, Twink. I feel remarkably calm about it tbh. I think it's cos I have no symptoms beyond higher temps, which meant something until I woke up with tonsillitis. I've now decided its just me being under the weather, but will dutifully pee on the old queens face on Friday anyway, just for larks.

Me too. That job sounds like an improvement.

I always thought I might have stayed in teaching if I'd been able to find a job in a lovely school. The best of British.

Glad work was good. It needed to be after that early start.

I am having an awful work day. I'm trying to organise a meeting between several local companies who are, naturally, business rivals. But because this is such a small industry, we are mostly friends as well. Apart from two of them who are trying to sabotage everything I am trying to achieve. We have made a lot of strides in the last few months in the realms of sharing data, devising a joint code of conduct and so on, and two of them are doing their best to discredit it all e.g. one of them us claiming he has never received any of the emails and he has been purposefully targeted and excluded and is telling all the relevant NGOs he is involved with, whereas his name is there in black and white on the CC list. And yet I am supposed to remain polite to this twunt and keep gushing "No we really want you to be part of it. We really value your input," when all I want to do is tell him to find a cliff and do a running jump of it. He causes nothing but trouble.

Hags I had a luffly day at work :)

moll I am not menkulling on your behalf, nope. I was thinking about you when I was in LondonTown on Saturday evening though.

norf hope your maybe-droid sorts itself out. Well done on the looser trousers, today I wore my uniform trousers for the first time in 2 years and they had a bit of a gastic band effect.

hest when I briefly gave up caffeine at the start of the year it was torture at first, but I got used to it fairly quickly. It only went to (tea)pot when my tea addicted parents came to stay.

4am is an early up time. I am tired.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 22/04/2013 12:50

"Shall we piss together?" Grin Blunt and to the point, eh Hesty Wink

Yes, where is Merkin? I have my tassles on stand by!

Spoke to the clinic again, a round of drugs is on it's way. The nurse has recommended that I time taking them so that droid arrives just after we get back from New Yoik . She said that the clinic could give me a Drs letter confirming that I'm carrying medication (ie syringes) but the real issue is that the drucks need to be kept cool.

Hest, I think I'll be POAF on Friday morning too.

Just in case there's a Lurkin' Merkin - hoping your TFP is turning into a nice sticky BFP.

EuroShaggleton · 22/04/2013 11:23

Morning hags! It's 6am here and I have already been awake for an hour and a half.... Grrr

Had more beer last night. More Ewcm this morning. It's bizarre. I thought my body had just given up making it due to age. Beer is clearly the answer. Whatever is the question.

Hest, like jeff, my only early symptom was insomnia...
