PESH Deli - Taking the B out of BESH

[skihorse]

A new thread for the gabbers.

Hopefully we will find out during the course of this thread whether dear cheggers has laid a baybee or two yet!

I still am ginger, curly and bonkers! pan Just not a child anymore (well, not physically)
That job stuff is shit - I guess light duties can be a bit of a lottery. But at least you are enjoying pregnancy more this time.

p.s simulator job sounds great

BTW Ski just noticed you are struggling to 'glow.' My mum keeps asking me if I am blooming yet? I say 'yeah, I'm fatter earlier this time than last time.'

Gas glad you kept your curls. I have dead straight hair and always wanted curls. I worry that DD's might drop out as she gets older. The curls, that is, not the whole hair!

PS going back up the thread a little bit Pony, bless you for trying to make me sound a bit like a loon. I spend a lot of my time trying to sound a bit normal because even my best friend thinks I'm not right in the head. Blow drying ponies is the least of it

as curly today as I was the day I was born!

(maybe I should go back to being CurlyCasper now I'm not so grumpy)

No problem pandy. I'm always here, at the PESH service, any time any of you need help with your loony image.

Mmmm... I have a lovely glow. I took the advice from that Times article and had a glass of wine with my dinner!

casp I'm all for a re-name change. Name changing confuses me.

pand The photo was actually seriously cute. Funny how many of us take the H&H . I always assumed they just snapped those little pics - not composed the lot - crikey.

LOL @ "feed your pony or it will die". I remember the guy who lived in a horsebox in the stables for the duration of camp while the laydeez and us kids camped in the showground building (North Staffs Hunt PC). He was an absolute dragon. He'd walk around our stables while we were bedding down for the night shouting, "You've got FIIIIIIIVE minutes". He was ex-military, with less of the ex as far as he was concerned.

Do they still take points off if your pony breaks down his banks before the stables are inspected? Things I used to object to:

• Being marked down for broken banks
• Being marked down for pony pooing
• Pillow being UNDER sleeping bag instead of OVER sleeping bag.

Also recalling food. One night we had spag bol. Following morning huge pans of scrambled eggs were served - with leftover spag pieces mixed in .

pony hope you enjoyed your wine!

Good to see some less-often-posters here today

pandy ooooh thanks for the pic - very exciting (ok to you it probably isnae but is to me!)
also your dd seriously cute in both pics. simulator job sounds like a hoot!

v impressed by all you horsey people. unfortunately horses give me some kind of hijeously unattractive anaphylaxis type reaction where my face swells up and i cannae breathe. bloke did not know this (how?) and booked v long horse trek on day we got engaged as part of general 'romatic day out' you know the deal. all rather went to the wall as i was a snot nosed puffy faced harridan after 5 mins. bless. spose i coulda told him but he was so pleased with himself and thought i might have grown out of it after all these years!

anyhoo. i should not be up as am off today but fucking woke up puking an hour ago.

carrots Showground building? How fucking posh was your camp? We had tents or trailers with poo hastily kicked out by dads on the sunday night. Dug-out toilet and if you wanted a "private" toilet - i.e., were unlucky enough to have your period - you had to trek over about 6 fields to use the farmhouse one.

pandora Both photos are lovely - really funny how we've got so many horsey gals here. Thank you so much for scanning that for me, she looks adorable!

sal I was diagnosed as allergic to horses when I was about 8, I manned the fuck up and powered through it! I still get bad around this time of year when they're shedding the winter coat but I can't imagine not being able to stick my face in her neck.

curly My mum has dodgy hips and finds that the narrower breeds suit her better. On saying that she keeps fucking riding Welsh Ds or Highlands so she's nobody to blame but herself...

sal aaah puking... yep, that'll be your pregnancy kicking in for sure! Suck it up as it were - when Cossie and I were at our worst we tried to tell ourselves that it was all good and it just meant lots of healthy hormones and baby was doing fine. Well, you've got to try and delude yourself somehow don't you?

Pandora As for ginger baybees, the deli should probably be the PESH Ginger Baybee Respository. Definite Ginger baybees to include:

Curly Cossie

I myself am a possible for a ginger, we're both celts and I've got a touch of the strawberry blondes about me and his granny is pure redhead.

sorry about the sickness sal.

I might not have had MS myself, but my week started with a sick dog and is concluding with a sick husband. SFF was up all night with vicious trouble at both ends. Now feeling very sorry for himself - but he will go and play in dirty water! (self-inflicted)
Problem is, now my bedroom, and the rest of upstairs, smells bad and we have a viewing tomorrow. I might have to kick him out later if things have not improved Even the dog didn't want to stay beside him in the bed this morning, and that is saying something. She deeply inhales her own vile farts

Annual appraisal at work today - should be interesting

"What have you achieved this year?"

"To get updiffed and make lots of new online friends".

Sure that will get me a pay rise

Oh, and my wee girl has moved out of the placenta guarded zone and has not stopped moving (at least that's how it feels) for the last 24 hours. Think she had hiccups yesterday, because the movement was so rythmic for about 40 minutes.

my money is actually on a blond with pale skin and muchos freckles ski. I'm not sure there are strong enough ginger mutant genes on his side. But there is plenty of pale Irish (fewer faults on the chromosone than pure gingers). I'm so glad it's a girl if she does turn out ginger!

And you can add panda to the list for ginger baybee potential.

what about you sal with the Celtic connections?

LOL ski I didn't think we were posh at the time! We had camp beds in the exhibition halls and the washing facilities were just sinks, no hair washing for a week etc, but obviously you put it into context! We had nice stables though - the permanent ones for the showground.

sal well bad news all round, puking AND being allergic to horses They've been talking about reducing allergic reactions by giving tiny amounts of the allergens and building it up... Not sure that ski's suggestion to "man the fuck up" is helpful though (quick slap for unhelpful ski ) but plenty of sympathy from me!

witty good to see you briefly! Stick around...

I think I may have a small carrot at home later. He's gone to school pale and with a tummy ache, but stick-in-his-ear-temp-machine said green smiley face so I decided to see if it passes (he's prone to tummy aches anyway which aren't actually an illness). He'd made a bird feeder at school from a yoghurt pot filled with lard and bird seed which we'd hung up but the squiggles have pinched, and when he realised this morning he totally out of character burst into tears and had a good cry about it. I think he thought that all the birds would now starve . I tried to tell him how nice it was that the squiggel babies would all get a nice meal (despite us normally spending time on the weekend hanging up more anti-squiggle stuff to stop them getting to the bird seed as they live in the woods behind our house, the little buggers) but he was really upset. Totally not like him so I just don't think he's right.

So now I'm feeling guilty that I've sent him to school

But it was borderline...

Oh, the worries of being a mother

Ginger baybees are the best! Everyone looked at DD when she was born and said 'OMG did she come out that way?' And the hair has only got whackier since then.

Curly (I had just got used to you as Gas) hiccups gets really annoying once they can bounce off your ribs.

Rots what's all this about banks malarkey. Big horse counts himself lucky if I manage to get all of the poo out of his stable (although he does have a fine line in hiding poo or spreading about everywhere, so mucking out is always a challenge. He doesn't like me to get bored ) I never went to PC as a child, my mother thought I wouldn't get enough out of it for her to justify the outlay. Boo hoo.

Anyway. After my little warble yesterday about feeling much better this pregnancy I seem to have a fucked hip today. Feels like someone has taken a cheese grater to the end of it. I don't know if it's preggie related, but I'm going to grumble about it anyway - makes me feel better

Mum tells me I came out with my red curls already in place, and as you say pandy, they have only got more out of control. Sun damage and natural frizz don't mix well. I think every curly child should get additional Government grants to buy hair taming products

rots are you talking about Stafford County Showground? They have nice buildings there.

pandora "Did she come out that way?" wtf?? Do you have a reputation as some sort of Katie Price type who does hair & make-up on your toddler? haha

carrots Still sounds posh! We had one massive field (no stables) and no hind shoes allowed. No stallions. Grooming & tacking up was done in a big cow shed. No washing for the week either . If you were quick you could use the washing-up sinks (thanks mums) early in the morning or you could trek over to the farmhouse. This was the 80s - can you imagine trying to make teenage girls live like that now?

Curly My appraisal went well despite the fact I'd spent the previous 12 months dreaming of a baybee...

Ginger keeps pooing in her water-dispenser. She is really "messy" and always poos in different places, however wee is 95% of the time at the door or under the door.

Ski I know someone who has trained their horse to only ever wee in a special bucket. I'm amazed that she was able to to do this, but want to know what happens if the special bucket isn't there when he needs a wee.

Haha! We've done poo, now let's talk about wee.

I do not ever want to have to empty that bucket... it brings visions of potty-training a toddler who comes running through the house to show what they've done in the potty and there being a loose bit of carpet...

Btw, I have gone fucking crackers. Got home yesterday and was very horsey smelling so immediately stripped off, bunged everything in the washing machine and jumped in the shower. Stomped around naked whilst investigating the Hot Milk/new dress. I was in the kitchen when Jailbait was stood there - turns out I'd not actually shut the front door and he'd had a panic thinking we'd been robbed/the dogs had escaped/something had happened to me.

The dogs didn't escape, clearly they think that mummy needs looking after these days. I hope the neighbours got a good show because I walked past the WIDE OPEN front door about 5 times.

pandy I went home and saw the pic of your girl and the owndz how cute is that!

You know - whilst i say no shitlands (only cos I hate teaching them) - the pony that i have my name down for (iz all organised ) is technically a shitland.. but a very very small nice one.. 33 inches.

rots you still lose points for ponies knocking banks down - and you can't tie your pone outside the stable to get around the problem

ski we used to wash our hair with the cold hose... nice!

Bloke felt baby kick the day before yesterday - v. exciting.

Oh yeah - mine won't be ginger - but it will be part greek...

It's the Netherlands Ski - the Dutch have a reputation for being cool with that kind of thing! So, you're a nudist now are you?

Feeling a bit handicapped in relation to all the horsey talk. I have never ridden a horse, ever. Didn't see that coming, didja? No reason really, just not something that came my way. Never had a dog either actually. I really like cats actually, but now apparently have to avoid all contact with them. Thank you toxoplasmosis. Me and sal will have to find an alternative non-allergic hobby to bond over.

No sign of any MS yet for me. Still to early I guess. sal I think you are a couple of weeks ahead of me at least?

Although they were not strictly speaking posted for me, i also had an enjoyable gawk at pan's photos. Your little girl is simply gorgeous! I adore those curls. I have a few red-haired cousins myself, but nothing on boyfy's side, so no chance of something similar.

witty You can touch cats tho innit? Just not cat shit? or am I wrong?

Typical iggy, it always comes back to poo with her. You are allowed to touch cats sal, Cossie has literally billions of them, but as iggy mentions, cat-shit-sarnie is probably a no-no.

Durrr... sal = switty. Btw, for me ms kicked in around 6 weeks along with the tiredness - I still managed a very respectable 10 hours last night though. I fear my conversational skills are disappointing jailbait - but my massive tits are making up for it.

iggy What typically Greek characteristics is your little ouzo going to inherit? Will he/she have a Greek name? They iz the best after all!

I likes cats you know... not many animals i don't like. can't see myself wiv pet snake tho...

Has anyone else in the 'lets all get diffed on same day club' noticed mucho increased violence of kicks/ movement? When I get into bed has gone nuts for last two nights.

liking it muchly
