Last call for flight SWI101 to Shagaluff. Sangria laced with folic acid on tape. Fake tanned Club reps will be dishing out the 2 for 1 cocktails, dressed in nothing but the most miniscule budgie smugglers. The pit will be manned by sleazy but virile Spanish waiters to provide your every need. Lets see the summer out in BESHley style, IE: starting a bar fight, drinking the place dry and falling over in a heap at the end of the night.

Aaaaarrrrgh, oh noes, Polly! I dunno whether I've dun good alerting you to some hazard or dun bad making you worried! Confused Oh dear Sad

OurKid, I had my D4 bloods taken on D4, as I too had the temerity to not synchronise my cycle with NHS opening hours and it didn't affect the results nor nuffink.

Aw, fanks all you guys for lovely compliments about my blog. Should I link here every time I do a new 'un? Be warned, I will inevitably mention things there I've mentioned here and might well recycle old jokes. But will only use jokes, comments and daft names that I came up with (well, I might use TTC, but I don't think that counts as dastardly plagiarism, does it).

PS In other news... BONG! Skinny super-rich young model married to millionaire moviestar heart throb is pregnant! BONG! I hate the world! www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/celebrity/496431/miranda-kerr-confirms-pregnancy.html

hey! medee so glad the scan went well and there was muchos wrigglage.

twinks adding my thoughts to the BESHwishes, glad you are doing ok and milking the day for all its worth :D

cass so sorry to hear you are feeling so rotten, I really thought you were gonna get away with it this time :(

scorpellina and 500tarts you are both 'MAZIN' and proof that what ever doesn't kill us makes us stronger. I have the fear of health issues cos I haven't really had any, one of the things that put me off TTC for so many years which is a bit fucking stupid in hind sight, so my admiration of you both is boundless. scorps blog book marked for later perusal, love the name.

I enjoy summer (when there is one Hmm but I love Autumn more, after all its when the boots and the big coats come out.

poor Poo that sounds horrendous, eek. I defo don't think pulling the pregnancy card at this stage would be out of order. Tsk naught TG Angry Does he realise that he risks angering the BESHes and that would NOT be a good thing for him?

orchid thats poo about droid turning up but glad you arnt feeling too rubbish about it. Day 4 should be ok, I was told if day 3 landed on weekend then the monday would be fine (happened to me last time i had bloods)

Cass I am prolly over reacting but a quick google before work freaked me out. Obv we all know that mice can carry all manner of nasty diseases but diffed laydeez should avoid contact with even pet mice as their poo, urine, saliva etc can carry disease which can cause miscarriage and all manner of birth defects, brain damage etc. Apparently one of the worst things you can do is Hoover up the poo as particles then get into the air and can be breathed in. Guess what I've been doing for the last two days... Of course I don't if your mouse or our little fuckers are infected with any of these diseases but that is not doing much to quell the menkul atm. Might phone midwife nxt wk just to put mind at rest.

Sorry about weird capital letters, I am on phone in work carpark - couldn't stand being in house so left early.

Medee · 20/08/2010 18:08

ooh Poo, that sounds so trying.

Headbanger · 20/08/2010 18:15

Poo,that sounds very worry. I suspect your anxiety is a tiny lickle but hormonal - Google is not, repeat not, you friend Grin! - but erm, can I give TG a metaphorical kick in the bollocks? And can I then piss, in a slightly desperate cystitisy way, on his laptop. Happy to oblige! Just say the word!

Twinkle darl, very happy to see your cyber-self. Glad your day is going all right - pliz milk every last ounce of lovingness and sympathy. Do it for the BESH!

Meanwhile, I am sooooooo tired. However, I have spent the last two nights lying awake panicking about the utter foolhardiness of throwing away a professional and potentially lucrative career to pursue an artistic dream, and wasting four years of my youth on a hopeless ambition that will come to naught, and make me a laughing-stock amongst all those who know me and jestingly justify the purchase of expensive frocks on the basis that one day, they will wear it to the Booker ceremony as my guest AAARRRRRGHHHHHH. When all of this goes tits-up, as it inevitably will (and by a cruel jest of nature, during the four-year artistic tomfoolery my tits have gradually gone in precisely not that direction), I will have to move to a croft on the Isle of Mull to hide my shame in a bottle of malt whisky, the songs of Jacques Brel, and the complete Anthony Trollope. Alternatively, I could amend my lifestyle to become a complete trollop, which I suspect would be almost as entertaining, if not rather more so.

Ahem.

So anyway, that explains the tiredness, is essentially the point of the self-indulgent little rant.

Headbanger · 20/08/2010 18:16

Very worry?! You see! I am illiterate: ILLITERATE!!

MountTheFairy · 20/08/2010 18:31

I feel the same BangerHead. We can run away together. 'Tis all shite and I am miz and would love to stay and chat to all you luvvelies, but gotta get back to FEKKING DISSERTATION which is shit.

I am watching you all though.

owlshoes · 20/08/2010 18:37

HB is it a novel type thingy you are writing or writing in a journalistic sort of way?

In my youth I wrote about 250,000 words of a novel - all of it except the final chapter. Then I got stuck and it's still sitting on the hard drive where it will probably remain for the rest of time :/ Also it's probably bollocks as I realise now I knew fuck all about anything in my early twenties and was a complete fool.

Illiteracy is no object; we have the magic of SpellCheck.

Now if you'll excuse I have to worship your broken bedside lamp for a bit

Scrope on the plus side, you are not married to a man called Orlando Bloom . I'm not being funny but if that isn't a stage name his parents were unusually cruel. I can only think of him as HopOnLegolas now, thanks to you lot.

Saladbomb · 20/08/2010 18:38

Seems to be quite a few of us on here that have given up "potentially lucrative careers' to do something more fulfilling and happiness making. HB do not wreck that talented head of yours. It is well better to be skint and happy than be rich in a shit job. FACT. It will be worth it. ALSOFACT.

Shall i distract you with my utterly redinkulous Tales from The Menkul?

Yeah i used to fancy Orlando despite the stupid name, until I saw every other film he made apart from LOTR. Utter bobbins to a piece.

Fairyliquid come and play, if just for a bit. WIll cheer you up, promise.

Isn't friday night Toga Party night in IBESHA? That means there's bound to be a comedy wardrobe malfunction and much naked wrestling at some point.

Saladbomb · 20/08/2010 18:54

But Headcase, Mull is a lovely place . What are you worried about? You can sit and watch sea eagles soaring, otters playing, whales surfacing and seals frolicking whilst tucking into your malt. In fact, fuck it all, I'll join you. And you can write a life enhancing book such as Ring of Bright Water. Please don't lie awake worrying - nothing was ever helped that way. I know that's a stupid thing to say by the way Blush. So you do have cystitis then?

LovelyPol please don't panic. Get the Little Man in, stay at your parents' house if it will ease your mind a little and get TG to clear up. It will all be alright.

Mountie - stop perving lurking and come in.

Orlando Bloom is a crap name. Viggo Mortensen is a much better one

Scorpette · 20/08/2010 19:19

Aw, one of the many reasons why I heart HB so fiercely is that she's the only other person I know who has to express their fears and worries in a flurry of deliberately over-imaginative hyperbole. Grin

When you write like that, the only sensible option is clearly you pursuing your substantial creative gifts. And just remember; writing is easier to fir around child-rearing that 'proper' jobs Wink You're so talented; do not give it up (or you'll have ME to deal with)!

Scorpette · 20/08/2010 19:28

I like the name Orlando. But as TYF always gently points out, and the old-timers here know, 98% of all boys' names I like are those of Eccentric 1920s Public School Gaylords (although I don't actually like the name Gaylord itself). I'm still sulking that he absolutely refuses to consider Severin Grin

This is why I must only have girls.

Saladbomb · 20/08/2010 19:34

Severin is an ace name! Reminds me of the character in Fireball 500 from Deadline, Severin Slipper Sniffer... My friend wanted to call her son Farquar, luckily she had a girl.

scorps is it true that exercise is not recommended after OV? I am now menkulling about my 2 day hike round London this week but am too scared untrusting of Google to go there. Please say it isn't so? :(

OP posts:
MountTheFairy · 20/08/2010 19:37

I know a gay lord. 'Tis sad his parents did not call him Gaylord.

Thanks for the invo Ariella, but I am kinda miserable, and have really left things last minute, and, and... so I think I will just lurk with an occasional stoopid comment till I am done destroying my dreams / life.

I am following all stories with gusto though Grin.

Ariesgirl · 20/08/2010 19:39

Gaylord is a name?

How about St John, Jolyon, Peregrine, Montmorency, Mountjoy, Rupert, Percival
Tarquin, Tristian, Crispin, Hugo, Reginald...?

Imagine calling at the school gates "Montmorency, come here at once."

No. You must only have girls.

MountTheFairy · 20/08/2010 19:41

Ariesgirl · 20/08/2010 19:44

I knew you'd like that one, Mavis.

Casserole · 20/08/2010 19:53

Rocketrocket (see what I did there?) there are 2 schools of thought. One says don't do exercise in case it dislodges anyfink. The other says exercise can actually be beneficial, as it increases circulation, so increased bloodflow to the area can help speed up implantation / thicken the uterine lining / tone the uterus etc.

Myself, I think you'd have to do a crazy amount of very high impact exercise in the groin area for it to do any harm. So I say fret not and have the weekend you planned Grin

Ariesgirl · 20/08/2010 20:16

Paula Radcliffe and Liz McColgan ran throughout their whole pregnancies. Liz McColgan had five, yes five, children. She's great! And I'm pretty sure Kim Clijsters would have been doing some fairly high impact exercise when she got diffed.

Saladbomb · 20/08/2010 20:17

bungee jumping on a bicycle?

thanks stewie is too late now anyway as was this week just gone :o Also had needles in belly to help blood flow/endometrium build up etc so fingers,toes and eyes crossed. I am soooo bored of 2WOOFLing now and still only DPO7. gah.
