Grin at my new name Mole & happy you are running.

MadameBoodolf · 11/12/2011 21:53

I'm very happy for Salty by the way (noticed her posting again ages ago but wasn't sure whether to say anything or not).

blondechristmas · 11/12/2011 21:55

Frosty nor gin. Never enough gin.

Boodolf (excellent seasonal name) I do not know of this woofling of which you speak.

ps I did not watch XF but am watching Black Mirror, anyone else?

AuntieDoris · 11/12/2011 21:57

Does WOOFLing means 2 Weeks Of Obsessive Fucking Lunacy?

Itwasonastarrymole · 11/12/2011 21:58

I just don't get it because I was typing on my phone so gave up.

Itwasonastarrymole · 11/12/2011 21:59

What time were coldplay on x factor? Can I still get them on repeat?

Itwasonastarrymole · 11/12/2011 22:03

I crossed about 20 posts before: the meringue was in reference to saltyair
Also, rie I will warm you with my fire not frie.

Itwasonastarrymole · 11/12/2011 22:04

As you were.

FrostytheSunshine · 11/12/2011 22:04

Yes to Black Mirror Blonde & to never enough gin! SSG & I are eating cheese & drinking wine. I'm starting Xmas early. I have an Important Presentation tomorrow. I'm passed caring.

MadameBoodolf · 11/12/2011 22:04

It does Dor

MadameBoodolf · 11/12/2011 22:05

old? On.

I missed black mirror last week. Is the sort of thing I usually like. Shall I turn over?

AuntieDoris · 11/12/2011 22:05

Thankyou very much. See I have learnt something at BESH school :)

FrostytheSunshine · 11/12/2011 22:06

Mole they were on towards the end. Before the winner got announced.

HaveUrselfAFaithyChristmasBaby · 11/12/2011 22:11

Yes I tried a few...have been a charter, brooker, hutter hut of gl/doom now in infertility before finding my niche blondie if I'm honest I was a bit loathe to become a BESH til I hit 30. I still post in the hut but it can be over doom/gloom. I like the sarcasm/mild optimism of the BESH.
I watched every episode of x factor it was awful but I reached the point where I'd invested so much time I had to see it through
What is 2WOOFLING pliz?
moley that is....odd. my friend wants me to do the Great North Run next year Hmm

HaveUrselfAFaithyChristmasBaby · 11/12/2011 22:13

Duh missed the explanation. As you were.

MadameBoodolf · 11/12/2011 22:17

Did you manage to liven up the bore last night Sunny?

I spent the afternoon making bathbombs for Christmas presents with 2 of my friends. It was great fun, and I have made shedloads. Very pleased with them - some have got bits in like the proper Lush ones too.

FrostytheSunshine · 11/12/2011 22:26

It was an odd night Boodolph. Only one of the dullards came. The other one was ill. It was better than I thought & it meant we had leftovers for today. Nice!

How do you make bath bombs?

MadameBoodolf · 11/12/2011 22:34

You mix one part citric acid with 2 parts bicarbonate of soda. Then you add bits and pieces (I used lavender, some grated cocoa butter, glitter, cinnamon sticks, chai latte mix, and various essential oils - not all in the same one!). Then you spray with water from a plant spray and stir (that's the tricky bit). Then you pack them into moulds (we used all sorts of things). I've made about 15.

You can get all the bits and pieces on special websites. We bought in bulk and spead the cost between us.

blondechristmas · 11/12/2011 22:59

Ooh bath bombs sound ace. I was thinking of making ginger biscuits for people as have no money... Sister's wedding is clearing me the fuck out at the mo.

Thought Black M was ace, missed it last week but they are standalone episodes. Very bleak and cynical, right up my street. An XF spoof could have been really clunky & heavyhanded but twas very sharp. And an excellent warning of what will happen if we all end up living inside our iPhones.

Awayinamangercooper · 12/12/2011 07:29

faithy bigging up how long you've been trying to get started earlier on fertility tests is the thin edge of a big wedge. I've been amazed to see how people rush to waste see their GP's time at the smallest provocation, most commonly that their period's a bit late, or they've got a bit of a cold. Hypochondriacs must cost the country a small fortune.

Awayinamangercooper · 12/12/2011 07:30

Good luck with Important Presentation, Frosty!

NortheyPole · 12/12/2011 08:07

Bleary good morning to y'all. Hope it goes well frosty and that you are even now suited and booted and elegantly in control no matter how bizarre the questions.

euro are you feeling any better this morning? When the rage hits there's not much to be done about it apart from suppress it till you can really let fly. What a pile of cock that it coincided with having to be smiley over an adorable infant. I hope you are now all raged out if surrounded by a pile of fluffy bunnies with torn off heads and on the way to feeling a bit more sanguine about it all. Though it still sucks big ones.

AlpinePony · 12/12/2011 09:03

euro I really feel for you. It's one thing not to get a BFP when you know you had sex way too late in your cycle (despite the books telling you it doesn't matter... ) - but when you know your timing is good and you might even have been having sex for "fun" then it's a real kick in the teeth. :(

It fucking infuriates me when people go to the doctor and "demand investigations" when they've only been trying 2 months, or, in some cases, claim they've been trying 5 years but during that time have had sex 5 times. :( I almost wore jb's out.

The bathbomb making sounds excellent fun boo! I really ought to do some of that over my extended boring ml. [sigh] Instead, I'll probably do what starry says and promise myself to get off the fucking interwebs.

Monday morning, car wouldn't start so jb had to walk to work at 5:20am in the pissing rain. I said I'd pick him up (assuming it would start) but he's taken the keys... meh. Still in a career crisis, know I don't get paid enough, don't know how to give my career a kick in the right direction. Just fed up.

eurochick · 12/12/2011 10:16

Thank you for all the stroking, laydees. The support, sympathy and droid-kicking does help, you know. I am feeling a little better this morning. I'm at work, so I at least have a distraction. (For a few hours - it'll be back on my mind later as we are off to see the private gynae to get our immunology results.)

I had a voicemail on my office phone this morning. It said "bless you". Nothing else. It was left on Saturday. Odd. It's from a number I don't recognise but I might have to call it later.

Pone that's rubbish.

Boo that sounds terribly creative. I am in awe.

AlpinePony · 12/12/2011 10:34

Bloody hell euro, it could be worse (my life i mean) - it's not as though I'll be up in front of a 12 year old gynaecologist this afternoon asking if I'm on the pill or whether we put the penis in the vagina. :(
