Ancient Egypt; where the regal BESH barge floats gently in De Nile.

[owlboots]

Glittering seductively in the evening sun, crewed by swarthy slaves, waited on hand and foot by bare-chested manservants bearing a rudimentary form of gin.

We have golden temples decorated with hieroglyphs for sacrificial offerings (and woo from the soothsayers) if required, and The Pit is full of asses? milk.

So, put on your eye make-up that goes out as far as your ears and jewellery so weighty it leaves dents in your head and step out to survey the peasants on the banks.

Come join the 30s TTC if your womble is as ancient and crumbly as Tutankhamen! Egypt; the thread where everyone eventually gets to be a mummy whether they like it or not.

Thanks gordonsbadger have always been a bit of a drama queen, the more things I have going on the more reason to flounce about to/at FDH shouting me me me and demanding comfort and gin.

Speaking of Gin, did anyone listen to Bleak Expectations on radio 4 last night? Just heard on listen again and is hilarious if silly. Decribed as Dickens but with more Gin.

Is here if anyone also very bored at work interested?

Didn't catch it - rarely get beyond "Front Row" on R4 before heading for the sofa in search of crap TV. But I have been dancing around the house to "Night Boat to Cairo" by Madness, that just happened to be on the stereo - coincidence? Or is the universe celebrating the Owl and her fred?

(So glad to be on a barge full of people old mature enough to know who Madness are.)

I'm poking boobs but nothing so still haven't ovd. Must do more sechs [yawn]

bitey you must be completely mad to do a Phd and TTC.

Hey Ladies of De Nile happy Friday!! Have just caught up on all the goings on on board and luffs everyone for sticking around....

Pissed myself laughing reading 'nefertitties' on my I-phone whilst at my desk and then had to try and lie explain my way out of what I was doing when I should have been doing something else.

You can get an app for recording temps on the i-phone. It sends you a message to remind you pliz to start the sechs which I always find funny - as if it's not ingrained in my brain already.

I got drunk on a school night last night. Oh dear

Just so you know - both okie and moo laid their babies last night! AND reggie is labour as I type. As is tradition with PESH, once these three seats have been vacated, 3 more may graduate!

Oh dear! If I'd known that beshes were going to be looking up my skirt would have made more effort as currently sporting a "do" ala 70's porn!
skihorse that is promising news will increase menkulling!
romamom I just had a bath with Epsom salts which is sopposed to help sore boobs, not sure if it did but giant floating breasts greatly amused FDH who likened them to the bismark

Whoop. Defo something in this here Nile water. Bagsy a place. I may test on Sunday but will only be 10dpo.

Boobies are sore all over (prob droid coming), cramps low down (prob droid approaching), bad taste in mouth (prob need dental work only I saw the hygienist last week). Someone hit me with a rotting Nile crocodile please as fear am setting self up for a big fall

The amount of shagging you did mylady surely one spermy must have made it? Surely?

I'm fishing it all out and sending it all back if it hasn't. Demanding an exchange.

oh dear God I used the word 'spermy'. I deserve all the lashings I can get...

As a mother boo you already know that a bit of spunk or using the word "spermy" is about glamorous as the whole business gets. FF 8 months and you're shitting on a hospital bed, carrying a yellow handbag and swearing at innocent midwives.

True snowhorse but methinks it was perhaps a little twee - on a par with babydust and the like :o

What's the BESH word? Cockwater?

Love-custard?

No, how about babygravy?

man mayo. :o

I'm a bit pissed and could continue in this purple vein all night! Nowt wrong with good old spunk really!

Anyone else got the bangles' song in their heads?

What, Manic Monday?

boo

Finally wrestled computer of That Man, and now he wants to watch the Wire, and Stringer took his top off last night so I can't afford to miss it....just wanted to drop in a say hi- and 'neffertitties'- genius. Geeeenius.
asp whips to all
ps poas ladygaggingforit

ladygonemenkul what will you exchange it for? A scarab beetle maybe?

Too early starrynight. Only 8dpo . The menkul is early this month.

Bitey I will exchange for some livelier stuff that gets me diffed! Or some gin?

So gin doesn't get you diffed? horreur will have to rethink plans for next month!

boo Naaah, 'tis not that twee - although I do remember a thread on Conception which went something along the lines of "sorry to be TMI but my husband blah blah" - she could NOT bring herself to use any word for white goods AND others chimed in saying it was base to use such words. WTF? Do we not need a job load of jizzy spunk to actually get pregnant? Well, obviously can you can do it with one if you're clever and using a petri dish, scraped back hair and a fancy needle - but most of us need the whole plasterer's radio thing going on.

Sechs fail again last night - although managed it when he got in off the night shift. I hope gin does make me pregnant because I had one last night to celebrate the new PESH baybees.

Why is gin so deliciously moreish? I could've sunk 8 tbh but was very good and put the bottle away at 1. Don't wish to drop the baybee - would probably get told off.

starnose Well done, I think a topless Stringer is enough to make anyone ovulate! [grin[

Hello regal BESH, so it appears I layed me an egg on Tuesday after having done some sechs on Sunday and Monday and have gold star from Miss FF for good work. Let the menkul commence!
