BESH Cassidy and the Nekkid-dance Kid - walk like John Wayne into our Wild West saloon.

[Northey]

TTC on the frontier of polite society . Shoot outs compulsory.

New joiners will be welcomed after completing the Beshtionnaire and showing us their blazing saddle.

That's fantastic, fifi! Really well done. Are you noticing any changes in your shape yet? You bloody should be.

Interview is Friday.

Last month at gym I'd lost 9lb and 5 inches overall, joint biggest weight loss of the month! Had flagged a bit but won't get weighed again til we're back off hols, need to keep running wherever we go (ideally somewhere with nice grounds we can run in). If I keep applying the Paul Mckenna rules on holiday, I'm confident the results will come :)

Perhaps now is not the time to mention my Buffy fixation then Norf

Well done on the weight loss Fee, that's really good. I should get back into an exercise regime. I do my dancing, but I was doing The Shred as well, and I've got out of the habit.

-I luff Buffy. Really, really luff it--
Cheers! I'm really enjoying it. I am shocked myself. Tis nice to get outside and get fresh air.

Fortunately I quite like buffy too, so your taste remains unsullied in my eyes.

Nice to be curled up when weather is yucky, I had my car MOT today so walked form the garage to work and back (about 20 mins each way).
Want to know the secret to Paul McKenna and success with weight loss? It's not about discipline at all! There are 4 rules to follow: 1. Eat what you want and believe me I do 2. Eat when you're hungry 3. Eat consciously 4. Stop when you're full. There's a cd I listen to each day which does mind programming technique, you and out but he talks about I,whining yourself at your goal weight and tells you that you want to exercise! It's turned my live around :) I've been dieting all my adult life. Suddenly I can eat what I like, I stop when I'm full, I recognise when I'm emotional eating and have techniques to stop. The book is very insightful too. I've been to the gym today :) there's a thread here which is super friendly and keeps me going!
Plan tonight is to veg.

Hello ladies. I am still here but this week has been mental. It was my twin aunts 70th birthday and that meant cake of epic proportions!

It has also been a busy week of choir rehearsals as we have the eisteddfod tonight. I don't know the song as well as I would like so I might have to wear brown pants!

Does anyone on here do temping and charting?

I do, Dor. I have done for almost a year now. Whaddya wanna know?

My chart looks proper weird this month... it's here

It is saying that I ovulated around day 10/11 when the shag Diktator gave me peak readings, but my temps have generally continued to drop. Very odd because I am sure if I have ovulated they should be getting a bit higher by now.

Hey fellow stick pee-ers gun slingers.

Hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather. I ke telling myself it'll get me out running again, but not managed to peel myself of the sofa yet.

Speaking of which.. Am cd9 and so so tired. So exhausted. Sign of ov? Body working hard etc...?

I am obv menkulling.

Dor on your last chart and a couple of others (e.g. Sept 29) your temp dipped and then jumped so maybe you will get a jump tomorrow? Meaning you probably oved today. If so, FF will probably move your ov date. I can't comment on what the CBFM readings mean as I have never used one of those.

My chart has gone a bit odd this month too. My temp rose a bit yesterday morning (CD12) and again this morning. But I didn't get a positive OPK until yesterday and I had my monitoring scan and there was a 22mm follicle clearly visible that hadn't popped yet. So there was no way I had ovulated when I had taken my temp 5hrs earlier. V odd cos normally my temps, OPKs and ov pains all follow a clear pattern with the positive OPK coming before the temp rise, as you would expect.

dor based on what I know of charting, I'd keep sechsing because I agree with euro that I'd expect a proper temp rise soon.
Should I be using opks? I've never had success with cheap ones....I dunno if it would cause more stress and we should just go for regular sechsing.
I've had a busy day. Was hoping to put a project to bed but looks like I'll have to travel again to another hospital site about an hour from here to finish it. Annoying. But those I did speak to were happy after lots of previous problems so I am happy about that. It's also a nice drive through the countryside.

I agree with you both. I think I am going to ovulate today or tomorrow. Very annoying as I relied on those tests and cancelled my acupuncture thinking I had already ovulated!

I am feeling knackered tonight. Had a triumphant evening with my choir tonight as we won our class in the eisteddfod.

Congrats on the win Dor

I've had a crappy night. Went off to teach my salsa class and no bugger showed up! Most annoyed! I have about 10 or 12 regulars and not one of them contacted me to say they couldn't make it

Thankfully I'm not out of pocket as I pay the hotel, where I hold the class, a percentage of my takings. A percentage of £0 is £0!

I've consoled myself with more cake and yet more Sherlock

Benedict Cumberbatch - I could lick that man from head to toe

Did I kill 'fred?

I have just had to have my cat put to sleep :(

Oh no! You poor thing. She ? had been poorly for a while yes? How sad for you. Are you ok?

She had been poorly but was doing ok. She got hit by a car this afternoon and had too much trauma :(

Oh Dor, I'm so sorry. I know how you feel: we lost a cat to a car accident 4 years ago . We still have his sister and she's my little fur-baby.

Big hugs for you.

Oh no :(

I'm so sorry Dot. So heartbreaking and somehow all the more so for a BESH. Sending you a hug.

Apparently....
