Come in, come in to the new haven for diffed BESHies. I think a group effort is needed here (and I'm being a lazy preggo), so please add to the deli whatever you crave/love/can stomach.

Nominations are also open for sexy fathers we can hijack to serve our mouldy cheese and cured ham

And the best mocktail recipe wins...well, bugger all to be honest

obviously that's grapes, not graps.

Did you like the toddler stuffing her face?

iggypiggy · 20/01/2010 10:37

The toddler is very cute - very very cute.

Bessie123 · 20/01/2010 10:39

ssssh, don't tell anyone [whispers] she's my dd.

CurlyCasper · 20/01/2010 10:41

I just watched and was about to ask that! Is that you with her? She is adorable! (even if she is a little grape thief )

Bessie123 · 20/01/2010 10:42

Yes, that's me pushing the trolley. We did pay for (and wash) the grapes. It's all pretend. What the clip doesn't show is the big strop she had when I wouldn't give her a Peppa Pig magazine.

CurlyCasper · 20/01/2010 10:43

God bessie that was a really hard sell you did to get us to watch that. If you'd just said it was your DD we'd all have rushed straight there. Can we tell the BESHies now? Can we? Can we? Pleaaaaaasssee? (or do I have to learn patience?) I have none. I've just eaten my lunch nom nom.

hmm, I guess. I don't really want to broadcast it though (I know, I've just posted it anyway [stupid])

iggypiggy · 20/01/2010 10:47

Oooh - hasn't she got amazing eyes... bess

Bessie123 · 20/01/2010 10:49

Iggy - Yes, she is the most beautiful girl in the whole world

Cosmosis · 20/01/2010 12:16

rots where I live is vv posh innit. Shame me and TGO lower the tone

I swear I came on earlier to wish skibabe a happy birfday. maybe is losing plot?

CurlyCasper · 20/01/2010 12:48

I is already writing job spec for poor unfortunate soul who has to cover my maternity leave. How do you politely phrase "must be capable enough not to let the place go to shit while I'm away but not so good that the fuckers decide to keep you and demote me upon my return. Fanks."?

Is it sad/wrong/menkul that I'm already considering using a Keep in Touch Day to help out on the annual Day of Hell, which I was initially glad to be missing thanks to mat leave?

gasper with you on the replacement staff issue - don't trust anyone to spend as much time on the internet do the job properly.

Looking forward to not having the shitty jobs to do though - you know you'll get sucked into the pre-prep as well, so best you don't even touch it with someone else's.

givecarrotsachance · 20/01/2010 13:42

oh oh is it ski's birthday? to you sweetie (imagine it's a cake). How many candles should we be adding onto it?

I came on to share this:

Which did amuse me. I'm looking for a suitable sticker for the landie to go in YOB's bday pressie and I quite like this one:

cosmo @ you lowering the tone

cassie difficult problem, no obvious solution other than they can't actually fire you or easily change your job so you should be ok!

skihorse · 20/01/2010 14:25

carrots Well, since you ask 32 candles. I told my cow-workers last night I was taking today off and said I'd be 25, one of the guys said "it's a bit mean though to say you're over 35" - apparently I look early-30s - get in! Glass of wine, prawns on sticks, pate on toast. Nom noms.

Had a chat with the big boss yesterday and pleaded for him not to toss my career down the toilet just because I'm going to have a vagina the size of a tesco carrier bag in July. He's a good bloke though and at that time 5pm, unbeknown to me until 9pm, he's just about to be made big big boss so that's great.

I'm just popping in to say hello and that I hope everyone's well. I have to do some bloody work for the UK now which I'm going to bang out in 30 minutes. Thankfully because I spend so much fucking time on the internet I can usually do a good portion of work in 30 minutes and nobody's any the wiser!

TwinkleToes76 · 20/01/2010 14:52

Happy biffday Ski

givecarrotsachance · 20/01/2010 15:01

ski ok I'll keep your little secret and go with 32 candles - best really to save melting the icing, yadda yadda.

Hurrah for the big boss. Did you really mention carrier bags though? . Couldn't you have remembered that we're a posh lot and at least gone with Waitrose? I mean, Tesco??? (carrots hawks and spits on the ground)

Do they actually SELL the Daily Mail in Waitrose? I know they sell Green Parent Magazine...

Ohh ohh fun job tomorrow - Spring/Summer ordering for MAC - will be dropping a few items in for ickle 'ol carrot seed. Yummy. Although it's now (confusingly?) been re-named carrot as carrot seeds don't, traditionally, wriggle.

PS ski do you really work with cows? Cool...

givecarrotsachance · 20/01/2010 15:02

Sorry, meant to say, hi twinkle. How've you been m'dear? and kinda thing.

CurlyCasper · 20/01/2010 15:18

I work with cows.

www.lactivist.co.uk/ for the cows amongst us.

CurlyCasper · 20/01/2010 15:38

Seriously, I really do work with cattle on a regular basis. Check out my workplace website (via FB) if you thinks I jest.

(good link rots)

Hi rots - I'm actually doing ok. I lurk on this fred cos I'm gonna be back before you know it! Are you feeling the ickle baybee wiggling? I LOVED that feeling at the beginning before its feet and hands got so big and pokey that I could hardly move or breathe and my belly poked out at very strange angles and people would notice my top moving around . Still totally amazes me what our bodies do when we grow babies. I was completely awe struck at the miracle of life during my pregnancy and often bored people stupid re: oh, now its got eyelids and next week it'll be the size of a pear, or whatever...

givecarrotsachance · 20/01/2010 16:08

Yeah twink I thought I would be really chilled about this one after totally absorbing every last bit of info with LC. But no, I'm a total pregnancy nerd. YOB loves it though (so he says!) so at least I have an outlet.

I'm feeling the tiny pops and miniature bumps from BC (baby carrot, recently renamed from carrot seed). It's really trying hard but it's too tiny to be anything other than little teeny feelings, and I only can tell when I lie still and concentrate, or stare blankly at the screen and concentrate! But it's really nice. LOL @ top moving - I remember that. I remember him turning over inside me and his spine clearly sort of sliding across my belly - quite disgusting really in a gorgeous kind of way!

I'm really glad you're lurking here twink. Good vibes for you. I was so upset to hear what happened and I really hope you're back here soon

CurlyCasper · 20/01/2010 16:10

Too right twinkle Apparently mine in practising grimacing this week Sorry you got that nasty letter, and nice to have your little visits.
