Le BESH est trying to win un petit baybee.

[HaveUrselfAFaithyChristmasBaby]

Bring your best Franglais and gin. Newbies always welcome, complete la BESHtionnaire et nous will judge assess vous accordingly.

I am porrly. Got tonsilitis. Can't speak well, can't think of much to say either as head stuffed full of drucks.

Poor Boo. That sounds very nasty :( Have you been working full time whilst sickening?

So why have droidal cramps begun on DAY 22 of an average 27 DAY FUCKING CYCLE? Eh? Sore boobage from day 18 and crampy womble from day 22. It's now day 24. I have the Ovaltine-like sludge - not sure where that fits in on the paint chart? I think there was an Ovaltine option.

This is Unacceptable. I am also full of the Rage and hate everything about my life and everyone in it. I'm sure it will pass soon

Sorry for illness Boo

Rie me too! It must be the moon or some other woo shiz. Let's get Angry together and go and kick things. Or eat stuff.

OMG!!!!11!! So I've just looked on google out of interest as to what phase moon is at. It's only a full bloody moon tomorrow.

Ooo are we all sync-ing or summat equally lentil weavery? I have had rubbings in my womble too, so have no idea what is going on with me. The boob issue had got my hopes up a bit I must admit: HWHNN is not sure if they are bigger or not, but they still don't ache or anything.

Completely reserving judgement on this cycle. Droid is due on 14th but as we have a do to attend on 13th I may pee then so I can drown my sorrows if it's a BFN.

Sorry your feeling rough Boo, copious amounts of drugs for you.

[dons padded suit and ruffles Rie's hair]

Stupid bloody phone! Rubbings = rumblings

My buzzwams look very round

Am laughing at wonble rubbings.

I wonder if there is anything in this moon stuff.

hi everyone - I'm so worn out and emotionally drained but wanted to let you all know that I'm okay.

We decided not to tell TinyTOM the whole story and instead explained that since I'm starting my PhD that I'll be spending more time in the London flat. Then, for at least the next month (maybe longer) I'm going to continue staying at the family home on Mondays - TOM and I will do the afterschool pick up together, we'll eat dinner, I'll stay over and then do the school run together in the morning on my way back to London. If nothing else, this will make the separation feel more gradual (and hopefully less painful) for all of us.

We've also agreed that this is not a break-up, but a separation and that we'll give it 6 months before making any permanent decisions about our future. During this 6 months we'll still consider ourselves to be committed (ie. neither of us will bring anyone else into our lives), because what this is really about is the two of us trying to individually heal from the negative dynamic that has developed between us. We're both just so exhausted, sad and depressed. We need to see if we're able to come back to the relationship from a happier, healthier place.

Thank you all again so much for helping me through the past few days - I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for all the ESH love.

(Sorry to hear you're ill MBoo )

Hello Laura, glad you posted xx

How long have you been together? Will you be seeing much of each other in the six months, or having counselling or anything? I'm sorry if this appears nosy.

Fanks for all the sympathy, you lovelies. Yes Rie am working full time. I'm not even stressed so I have no idea where this has come from. Bah. Soz about the magnolia pants. S'all a bit wierd. Is there no chance these could be symptoms, is it deffo droid?

Sounds a teensy bit more positive than the last post? I am glad you are ok. Huge squeezes.

I can't join in the WOOFling because I am so much thinking about my poor throat I am just ignoring my womble. I also have this wierd idea that if I do get diffed I'll be super healthy, and that being ill means I am definitely NOT. I am sure someone will come along and tell me that they got diffed in the middle of spanish flu or something though... anyone?

I feel odd today. Not pregnant, just odd. I think the steroids might be to blame. They do seem to come with a lot of side effects. Or maybe it's the moon.

This might assist you in your moon wibbling, laydeez. It is even more menkle than us.

Cavey I think we are synching. I'm also due around the 13th....

Laura that sounds promising. Maybe you just both need some time to sort your heads out after the brain-scrambling that is miscarriage.

Bizarrely, I am half wishing I would get sick, as it would be a sign that the steroids are working...

That's right Boo, my best friend's electrician's sister's cousin's charlady got pregnant when she had the bubonic plague. True dat. I don't think it can be symptoms, they are too exactly droidal but earlier than normal :(

I have synched with Sunny. It's an honour

Ow, get off my tender buzzwams, Bugger.

PS it's ovaltine not horlicks, so nothing magnolia about it.

Right, my body has launched into a game of silly buggers with me.

TMI Alert!

Just been to the loo and when I wiped there was a smidge of blood. Now am I foolish enough to hope and pray think it might be an implantation bleed or is the driod about to put in an appearance 6 days early?

Can clomid mess around with your cycles quite that much? The problem is I really don't know what my usual cycle length is, I can only go by what has happened recently and my last cycle was 35 days (before that they were 77, 138 and 282 so not much for comparison!).

I'm crying now, silly cow. HWHNN has just left to drive back to base and honestly I feel like, if this is droid, I'm going to die a little. I'd invested so much in getting pregnant this cycle because it was our one chance when we were going to be together at the right time, without having cross-country dashes.

It could be implantation bleed or it could be silly buggers, Cavey. I'm afraid there's no way of knowing until either a) you test or b) droid arrives. Sorry, flower

Seems as though there are a few of us in a similar boat at the moment. Must be that Christmas shaggage.

Ah lovely BESH we all seem to have the blues or the menkul today. Bloody January. Bloody moon. Fucking drugs & TTC. When are our baybees coming .

Cavey I have no words of wisdom regarding the drugs, sorry but we are all empathising. It's mean mean mean that our bodies play these fucking tricks on us.

Thanks both, I know I am having a major over-reaction but it just does wear you down.

I'm fairly certain, owing to the tears, that this is the droid so am more resigned to it than upset now.

Trying to be positive, I have this do to look forward to on Friday. It's a big dinner dance prior to a major dance competition next Sunday, so lots of big dance stars will be there.

It's quite likely that some of the Strictly people will be there and my dance teacher has said me she'll introduce me to Len and Anton as they are usually there. I promise I'll try to get some photos to put on my profile.

Right, have to go: got to try and finish this darn Uni report and I intend to watch Sherlock at 8.30.

[gin for all]

Now THAT is bloody exciting. Just ignore Anton and concentrate on Len. Oooh, if were thirty years older I would gaze into his twinkly eyes!

Resignation is the best way to go rather than frantic menkulling and worrying. I have only ever done three pregnancy tests in my life? Not that mine is the best way forward of course.

Oooh Cave my works do was on Friday & it had a strictly theme. We had a video message from the judges, Bruce & Tess! Was great fun.

Rie we must be related. I've only POAS about 5 times. Grim resignation.

Anyway Benedict is on so must pay attention.

I have been called out of lurkerdom by rumours of aries's rounded buzzwams

Am so sorry LP this is the first time I've checked in in a few days, and I didn't know, you poor poor lovely, can't believe the crapness of your hand of late. For what it's worth you and TOM seem to be handling everything with an amazing amount of dignity and respect for each other, I so hope you both find the space you need, and that your Pretty Huge Distraction lives upto its name. Much much love. (and secret xxx) (shhh)

captaincavewoman Flipping shitty droid who doesn't know when it's supposed to make itself scarce. Scarse? (why do neither look right?) Can't imagine how much more fucked up the whole game is when you're doing it long distance, have many hair strokes and then a genetically modified large dog to take it out on.

Sorry for all the weird /sick feelings, I've ordered in a job lot of anadin extra filled doughnuts and lemsip vodka, to keep you going through the moon howling. Love and adoration all rowowowwwwwwwnd.

Doesn't the Cumberbatch have the most fascinating face?

Hello Moley

Bendydick does has a fascinating face. I'm not sure whether I like or loathe it.

He would have been a great Voldemort.
