Finally, tell us how you found the BESH and why you'd like to join us pliz.

Yes can't have curly fries :(
The coeliac book is great for knowing what's ok. I hope in the future it'll be like it is a wetherspoons where it's clearly labelled. That's incredibly helpful!
Right word to the wise. When putting chips into the baking tray to go in the hot oven, don't put the chip bag on the hot oven door!!!! Or you'll end up scraping said bag off the oven door. Learn from the wisdom of my stupidity experience.

Oh, and changing the subject (good work the the "experiment". Like the ghj put a tesco carrier bag in a hot pan. God only knows why).. I appear to have 5, count them, five, pee sticks in the house.

I think it's early dementia. This is not helping my resolve.

The = when. Must proofread.

Ah The Mister and I have just been to the cinema to see The Best Exitic Marigold Hotel. I loved it. It was such a charming film. I think The Mister and I were the youngest in the audience by about 20 years! We are now eating curry!

Ooh I really want to see that. It looks just my sort of thing.

We are having Chinese and booze and ignoring each other in order to play on our respective phones.

I want to see it! MSB will not.
We have scoffed our dinner yum yum and are watching 17 again which is surprisingly good! No booze for me tonight. Trying to be kind to my kidney.

I am ready to walk planks and be fish food, as I cooked proper food now the arm is getting much better and then thrashed SB with board games, despite being droidal pissed (welcomed droid with Nice Wine)...

Morning, ye scurvy wenches.

I feel sick this morning and am farting enough to lift the covers. Obviously as a result of diffedness than of having eaten too much last night.

I too am farting like a good 'un. Must be the curry. Lovely!

Morning farties.

Blonder I want to come over and see you in grads (have stalked you already) but am currently terrified of jinxing it all, its just so early. Droid is only due today and I have cramping and fanjo-heaviness like any other month.

Have spent a good twenty minutes this morning trying to decide if today's IC is fainter than yesterday's IC. conclusion: inconclusive. So that was time well-spent.

Anyone want to pull my finger?

Morning all.

Still lots of wind here, though not anywhere as bad as it was. My temp dropped this morning, though it is still above the baseline. Tomorrow will tell me more.
Don't think I've had any pre-droid cramping as yet (usually do), but I've had so much bloating/wind that it's hard to tell!

I know just how you feel Jewels. Hope to see you there in a few weeks (and some other luffly BESHs pliz pliz fingers xed).

jewels that's very understandable. You can hang out here of course :) but start lurking with the PESH then blondie can take you in by the hand when you're ready.
Wind here too but since I'm cd8 I suspect that's down to the antibiotics! Currently chowing down fake cereal with probiotic yogurt to help my digestive system and stop the thrush that's already lurking I do think the antibiotics are helping now though, thank goodness.
have fun with the girls bugs! What's everyone else got planned this weekend then me hearties?

I am going to try to get AMNH to get some more nails in our very tough stone walls. I could do it myself, but he gets cross if anyone touches his big drill (whilst at the same time merrily helping himself to things from my tool box, which he then damages or loses). Then I can hang remaining pictures. Might also make shepherds pie for dinner.

I'm not allowed to use MSB's drill either. I agree, push him to do it. It'll feel more like home!
I've managed to change the bed and it's washing. I'm get to get dressed! I guess I need to be dressed by the time MSB gets back from work about 12.30. Jury still out as to whether I'm up to going into town.

Any improvement down there?

I need to get dressed before AMNH gets back as well. I really can't still be in dressing gown (even if i did get up and do a triple stage washing up fest before getting back into bed).

I do think it's better down there . Not taken any painkillers today. Pain is less acute.
I've made it to the sofa in jammies. Reckon I'll watch the end of Freaky Eaters that finishes at 12 then go up and shower. Cunning plan.

I've managed to start frying onions and celery.

AMNH might be more amenable to the terrible and unreasonable imposition of being politely asked to do a minor household task if he knows there will be cosy and comforting food and wine later.

Cunning psychology Northey, cunning.

Mornin sea dogs. Just woken up. Mainly posting to reassure faith she hasn't broken fred. Glad the drugs are working.

Excellent man management northey. I'm nowhere near your level. The bathroom door handle is still off after 6 months (the washer is too stiff for my lady hands..) and the sorting of getting the windows done has turned into a cold war. Not done in 3 yrs. guareenteed to cause a mahoosive row. Sigh.

So. Excellent weekend enjoyment BESHes. Am v excited to see the aftermath of bugs night out tomorrow.

The current womble status chez sinky is droidal symptoms a-plenty. I fear I shall not be joining the exclusive PESH this round. (stupid moment. PESH? What's the p? Ooooh. Just realised. Pretty obv really. As you were sailors)

Man management FAIL. He came in and went straight to bed and slept for 4 hours! And now he's gone for a run. I shall hold my peace over the DIY till tomorrow, I think, especially as he has promised to go out and get wine grog when he gets back.

I so empathise with household cold war. That's why we ended up with no grouting in some tiling for 4 years.

Ah, I'm in the same boat with the windows. We've been in the house two and half years. They've been cleaned three times- by me. When I say about getting a window cleaner, MSB says we can do it ourselves cos it's a bungalow. But he's never cleaned them! I said if he didn't do them by Easter, I was getting a window cleaner.....Easter 2011 that was!
Well I tried to go out, and failed. I thought I was better but a short walk to get cash indicated otherwise. Now sat on couch watching Boardwalk Empire DVD box set. MSB is drinking beer, I'm on the water. Rock n' roll!
