Come on in, you raddled old caaaaahs, whotchoo waitin' for?

I've gone for a groovy 60s psychedelic theme, so get your fat upper arms comfy in the hanging globe chairs and hide your mememe shame in the glow of the lava lamps!

Russell Howard is our new bartender, although I don't think he's happy at the flares 'n' kipper tie outfit I've forced him to wear. And of course, Mitchell is in the pit, nervously awaiting his first guest.

Let's make this one diffalicious!

Cassie, that is crap. Puny silver lining is an end to the mindfuckery, but not the outcome we were all hoping for (ie a win)

Gin, so sorry you've got such awful peggy probs. But just to say, I have a tooth missing at the side at the bottom and I have a wide grin and it's not noticeable at all (or if it is, I don't care). Anything's better than the pain! Now come and sit on Auntie Scorpette's knee and she'll hold a warm compress to your hurty jaw

Also for Lyra's droid. On t'other hand, a lot of us seem to be synchro-droiding, like we're In The Sixth At Mallory Towers, so we can TTC together. With our respective partners, I hasten to add.

Unless someone fancies making me an interesting offer, like

I too read the Maggie o'Farrell article and it really touched me. I love her books anyway (have ordered the new 'un from the library) and she summed things up so well. Great idea to get resident writers in to read to us, Lyra!

Want to sleep but have weird headache where it hurts most to lie down. Great!

Can I do a big massive hug like the one's my father-in-law does best of all? Proper dad hug. Just what's needed when you're feeling wobbly.

Sorry if the article upset people. It is very sad, but so eloquent I had to link to it.

ginhag · 07/05/2010 21:46

as and the other shiz.

ginhag · 07/05/2010 21:43

I've used up all my double-hard bastardness for today ead.... needed it to get through all those sodding interviews. So snuggles and hairstrokes from you n lyra would be lovely (but don't tell anyone, right???)

It's not the very back molar though. Am pretty sure that it would show. And am soooooo fucked off as I've already done this once!!

I can't decide if I wish I hadn't read that article. Have been struggling a bit emotionally re the missed miscarriage (as the other shiz, but mostly that) and it really made my heart hurt reading some of that, a lot of what she expressed is the exact stuff I am so sad about...had good chat with mr gin tho... he had warned me that he wasn't sure if article would make me feel better or worse.

Anyway I think I'm gonna go to bed. Am exhausted in mind and body.

thanks for being there chaps. As always this place is a fucking lifeline.

Headbanger · 07/05/2010 21:33

Oh I'm so sorry Gin. If you weren't a double-hard bastard I'd stroke your hair and murmur nicely.

I've had toothy-peg trouble badly too, and ended up having a molar out because I couldn't face afford root canal work; it honestly doesn't show, pal, and if it does you can get a tooth screwed into your jaw. Sozzles, you know all that already, but just can't stand not to TRY and say somefink useful innit.

ginhag · 07/05/2010 21:09

also... sorry stewie. And sorry I didn't say that before. Am self centred biyatch.

RunLyraRun · 07/05/2010 20:56

Oh Gin. Snuggle in, lovely, snuggle in. And please to drink this clove cosmo.

RunLyraRun · 07/05/2010 20:54

Really sorry Stewie . Think the droid has arrived here too, but as I was expecting it (because I was away from HO at crucial time) am not too depressed.

Lovely piece from Maggie O'Farrell. I've just got her new book today. Perhaps we could install her in the Palace library, to read her books to us when we are feeling melancholy? She has nice hair too

Have decided that hung parliament is A GOOD THING. We were expecting (dreading) Dave majority, so surely anything else is a bonus? Nick playing a shrewd game so far. And maybe Vince will be able to talk some sense into George. It's all v. interestin', innit.

ginhag · 07/05/2010 20:48

Mr Gin told me about that article just before I came in here. Now I can add 'feeling broken hearted' to today's list of sheer misery.

Along with 'either fork out £700+ to get root canal entirely redone as there is a festering little bit of nerve left at the bottom, or have my tooth pulled out and look like a hideous crone'....

AND I'm coming up to ov time and have been prescribed hardcore anti-bs that are not differ-friendly.

Not that I could fucking get them tonight as there is no pharmacy open for miles.

I think I deserve a medal for conducting 5 interviews today whilst in fucking agony.

oh, stew he ran past me as I walked to work... we were going to the same place as each other as we work together.

Medee · 07/05/2010 19:12

oh yes, excellent cake!

Ocarina · 07/05/2010 19:12

Ooops, managed to miss a whole page there - doh. Sorry about droid Cass, it's even worse when it messes about like that. Have more chocolate, I've stocked up.

Medee · 07/05/2010 19:12

Great article, I really like her writing anyway. Liked this line:

People were always saying to me: "If you just forgot about it, you'd get pregnant straight away." For the record, this is the most unhelpful thing you can say to someone with fertility problems.

Ocarina · 07/05/2010 19:10

Fab cake HB, you are an election food genius. And anonymously famous, hurrah!

I did manage to stop watching politics and do some work eventually, but still have more to get done. Am way too easily distracted.

Medee · 07/05/2010 19:09

Evening ladies, not been about for a couple of days so not sure what is new with you.

Sorry to hear that the beepy bastard has arrived, LeCreuset.

Headbanger · 07/05/2010 19:08

Oh Cass, old sausage. I am sorry . That article gave me a case of the sads too; but it ends with a lovely note of optimism.

Ariesgirl · 07/05/2010 18:52

That Guardian article is very sad. Very bittersweet at the end when the women see each other's children's age gap and smile a each other.

Good luck to all you lovely BESHies. Through whatever path is takes you.

Ariesgirl · 07/05/2010 18:37

Aren't bodies weird? Why so late? Mine still isn't here properly, just dribbling. Is there some kind of BESH epidemic going on?

Sorry Cass

Casserole · 07/05/2010 18:36

Muser That article's made me cry.

Casserole · 07/05/2010 18:33

Evening ladies. Just to say droid finally beeped.

Ariesgirl · 07/05/2010 17:39

YOU MADE THAT CAKE? Christ Well done!

Bessie123 · 07/05/2010 17:06

Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha

no seat for George Galloway.

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Muser · 07/05/2010 16:17

That is fabulous HeadsinToes. Love it.

Good article in The Guardian today by Maggie O'Farrell about secondary infertility. www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/may/07/secondary-infertility-increasing

Headbanger · 07/05/2010 15:27

FAME AT LAST!!!!

My bloody cake only made it onto the bloody BBC website! (And I even get to keep my anonymity 'cos the party's hostess is named )

Casserole · 07/05/2010 15:20

Tis massive sea of blue round here Ocky

Am strangely and unexpectedly glued to the fallout on BBC1. Am also taking mind off Droidgate by clearing out all my cupboards, in some sort of ironic nesting instinct - couldn't keep on eating everything in sight so decided to be a bit more positive today!

laurielou · 07/05/2010 15:20

Hope you're OK gin.

Well, just to update I've been to Boots & bought zinc for the boyf, Conceive Plus lube for & tampons. All bases covered, non?

Going to friend's for dinner tonight. He's italian & owns a couple of restaurants, so always well fed. And well watered! I'll be having ear / chest / throat / water infection. ARSE!
