Wizard are playing and the tinsel is up. Come into the BESHmas office party for some inappropriate photocopying and brief, regretful relationships!

[AriesWithBellsOn]

Evening BESHes! Don your tinsel and Christmas tree earrings and dance into my office for some rocking around the Christmas Tree. First one to snog Brett from Accounts wins a glass of warm Country Manor and some Christmas snacks. May we getting SWI over the Festive Season and announce our wins in the New Year

In you come! Festive newcomers welcome - just search for and fill in the BESHtionnaire and submit for approval.

Sloe gin is good. So why is sex to win a baybee not allowed?

Are you in your 30's? This is important

I am 34. DH has Fear of Fatherhood he is in the cult of the droid. I've been on the Waiting thread since 2009.

Blimey. How do you deal with that?

If it were me (and of course this is dreadfully immoral but I Just Don't Care), I would frankly have started trying to engineer an accident. You must have morals of steel to have held out.

manger do you normally go by the name of Amanda? I haz seen you on other Freds. Do you have the man who keeps changing his mind? He needs a kick up the backside if you ask me. All this "readiness" is bullshit. Nobody is ever actually "ready". I got pregnant nine months after meeting mine. I'm sure he wasn't entirely "ready" but hey ho. It's been well over 2 years now and the baybee is still not here, but my point is there is no right time and he shouldn't spend the rest of your fertile years waiting for a "perfect time" or "readiness" that doesn't exist.

cavey bollocks to the bollocking droid. It is always when you have wasted a good piss stick. As you say, it's given you a good idea about your clomid cycle window of opportunity. fingers crossed for a good xmas shag under the mistletoe. (tries to remember shagging and seems to think it might be fun)

I am so fucking tired it is unbelievable. The cough keeps coming back every time I lie down to go to sleep. And when I do get some bastard sleep, I wake up again an hour or two later. I am not good at being poorly. And we had to get up this morning to take the boy to football, which we then found out was cancelled. So I could have bloody well stayed in bed in the warm. Upside is we are going to the cinema this afternoon which will be nice. I can eat lots of Galaxy counters there.

KatandKit yes I normally go by Amanda when feeling less festive. I'm sure he is going to come round any day now .

Northeypole an "accident" you say? By that vile proclamation I see ye hath sold thy soul to the devil, do you not fear the wrath of MN??? Perhaps you did not know that my DH did not agree to a baybee before our nuptials.

Loving the closet non-gin drinking

Frosty not very well! But it is not the worst thing that could happen I am well aware.

5 pages I had to read! And with this hangover!

Can I just say that the B in BESH was actually originally Bitter - as there were wimmin like my good self taking centuries to conceive their second all the way back then. Is that right Pone?

Cave Sorry about the no, but glad to see you seem sanguine about this month. And it could turn into a yes couldn't it?

So impressed that we had a visit from HQ. And I have snorted muchly at all the fawning. I would have been the same if I hadn't been OUT TILL 3AM DANCING. And Dor - the victory rolls were a success. If you ever try to do them again I'll send you a link to the marvellous rockabily Australian girl whose youtube vid I copied.

Hello and welcome. I love the 'cult of the droid' quip. I am liking you already. Don't worry about the not liking gin thing, we can always put some in a cocktail for you. Although given that's all I drank last night I think I might just settle for a nice cup of tea and a fry up right now.

Oh Cavey I am shit - just read page 4 of fred properly. Sorry for actual droid appearance :(

That's alright Boo, you're excused on account of hangover

The weekend just got a bit worse: HWHNN has just realised he has left his laptop in his room on base & has ver important work to do this weekend. He's going to have to go back this afternoon so he can get it done. As his base is 200 miles away there is no point whatsoever in him coming back again only to leave AGAIN tomorrow evening. Plus all the money wasted on fuel.

[looks at bottle of gin. Looks at clock. What the hell]

[swigs]

Welcome AmandaManger...I've been sidelined by my partner, too. Perhaps we could form a little ESH substrate: we'll be WESH (Waiting Evil Selfish Hags).

How was Burlesque MBoo?

Ah, sorry boo. I will get it right in future. Luckily I am bitter as well as barren, so I still fit right in.

No worries Northstuff :)

Oh LP It was so much FUN!

:( Cave. Chocolate and a good movie?

madameboo have seen you on other freds too. The unofficial visit from MN royalty was too impressive. We've never had HQ grace our fred. What is lametta? Can you drink it?

LauraPalmer thanks for the welcome!

Lametta is a bit like tinsel so I wouldn't advise it's consumption...

What freds have we met on Coop? I do venture outside of the safety of the palais every so often, normally when I'm premenstrual!

hello all. Sorry about wanker droid Cavey :( What a bitch

Hello Cooper. I have seen you before I believe. I too was wondering whether you were referring to us as sour, or gin However after your BESHtionnaire, I shall let it pass. And I am sour anyway. A hungover sourpuss grumpyface.

How was the corset, Boo?

baublelugs yes our paths have crossed also! Another vote for an "accident"!

You dare not say that aloud, surely? You will incur the Wrath of Khan AlpinePony if you do.

Actually before we got hitched MrA and I never, ever discussed children We just thought it would be a laugh and it was a bit of a spur of the moment thing. Still together nine years later.

Madameboo not sure... think have just posted on same freds rather than posted to each other IYSWIM? or maybe it is just from my BESH stalking that I know you!

Aries gosh heck no absolutely not. Gin is sour, not you!

Ah, bless you. I am sour though!

I have to Be In The Mood for gin. Last night I mixed white wine, lager and Baileys. It's now all curdling in my poor stomach and banging the inside of my skull with a sledgehammer

In the summer it was all about the rose wine (how do you do accents without copying and pasting from the web - does anybody know?).

Last night when I got there a friend at the bar asked me what I wanted to drink, and I just said gin without thinking. I wish I'd said Crabbies. But once I'd started on the gin then that was IT.

I'm beginning to think I need to step up my alcohol intake!
