Asseyez-vous mes amies and ready yourselves for the BESH Eurovision contest ever. Get ready with your Central European fashion, transvestites and inability to sing anything in tune. Get ready to rip your skirts off and leave your other halves no option but to make their mind up (do you see what I did there?) to get down to some swi and do your best not to think of Terry Wogan at any point in the proceedings. Finally, get ready to yell ?nul points? at the evil Droid should it dare to make an appearance.

Newbies, approach in high euro-camp mode, find and complete the BESHtionnaire to let us judge whether you are cynical and menkul enough to join us.

HWHNN has confiscated my newly bought pregnancy tests to prevent me using them before Sunday. He thinks I'm testing too soon, but only because he doesn't want me to be disappointed.
I did tell him you lot would hunt me down if I failed to POAS as promised Grin

bugs, sorry that your mum makes you feel that way. As norf so rightly says, mothers have a great knack for it! At least there is Wine

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 27/04/2012 22:37

bugs that sounds rubbish. Mums do indeed have that knack. I think they're astounded if you do things differently from them! Enjoy the Wine and take some deep breaths!
cavey we have opposite ends of the spectrum, MSB keeps encouraging me to POAS and I keep saying it's too early!

Northey · 27/04/2012 23:28

My boobs are less sore now :(

Oh well, it was a pleasant menkul while it lasted.

ShredniVashtar · 28/04/2012 07:30

Buenos Dias everyone.

Northey :-( about the boobs. Hang in there, you never know.
cavey and faith good luck for pee stick action! Hope they come out with the right response for once.

I'm definitely into menkul territory now. Despite having drunk a whole bottle of cough medicine for its supposed magical powers of enhancing cm, I have seen no effect other than to possibly have given myself thrush due to all the sugar. Grrrrr. north, I feel your pain!

What's everyone up to today? Any plans that defy all this rain?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 28/04/2012 07:58

Greetings from the Czech Republic!
Update from me: so after not inconsiderable pressure from MSB, I POAS this morning with an FRER. BFN! :( Problem is MSB takes an FRER as gospel and starts hopping round 6 data before droid is due looking at the statistics! So I'm a tad confused because my temp is still up - see here and it usually drops by 12dpo, I'm now 13. But I have cramps and dull lower back ache - normal. No spotting yet - not normal. So essentially, I will continue to menkul and refuse to buy FRER in the future to stop the pressure from him for early testing!
He's gone off to work a but doomy/gloomy because he thinks it's all over since the FRER says no. I choose to eat a brie and bacon toastie, drink a cuppa and enjoy some chocolate raisins whilst watching Gok. No definite plans for later but I might buy some new shoes online.

CaveMum · 28/04/2012 08:24

Oh faify I am sorry. As you say, perhaps it is too soon just yet.

HWHNN spent 10 minutes trying to convince me to wait till Weds again!

Off for a dance lesson now, but will be back later.

Northey · 28/04/2012 08:41

Nul points to stupid bfns and thrush!

That's impressively early for exercise, cavey.

Buzzwams have a hint of tenderness if I thump prod them from the right angle. No droid though.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 28/04/2012 08:47

Yes I agree with North, Tis rather early cavey! But I know you enjoy it so I'll let you off :)
North are you still suffering? Did you get Canestan?

Northey · 28/04/2012 08:55

I did (well, I found an ancient tube in the bathroom) a couple of days ago. I still feel like its on the verge of lingering, but don't want to get the balance wrong in the other direction, so am hoping my body will see off the last trace on its own.

How are you feeling today? Any improvement from the new antibiotics?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 28/04/2012 09:02

Don't forget to scoff some probiotics to help your body with it's natural defences! Yes I'm definitely better on the antibiotics, pain is more manageable and I feel a bit better in myself already. I'm motivated to tidy up and clean which is encouraging! Glad I've got this week off, hopefully I'll be well by this time next week since we've got a family holiday booked to the Lakes. Normally we climb lots of hills, I know I'll only manage short walks but my boss has ok'd me having it as leave if I am fit. Time away with all that fresh air will do me the power of good! I have learnt my lesson with this though, full lurve embargo until I've finished the antibiotics to kick this once and for all!

eurochick · 28/04/2012 11:26

Morning ladies. I am in a terribly black mood this morning. Has anyone got some kittens they would like me to kick?

OP posts:
HaveALittleFaithBaby · 28/04/2012 11:38

No but I've got a smelly hamster Hmm even though only just cleaned him out. Rubbish baybee substitute. Is it the bfn/ttc situation or is there other stuff going on?
I've had a burst of productivity, have loaded and run the dishwasher, vacced ran downstairs - including between the gaps of the sofa which pulls apart boak at old food down there! and parcelled up my old phone for sending off....and collapse on the sofa!

Northey · 28/04/2012 11:51

I have spent the morning trying to clean years' worth of accumulated muddy paw prints off some cream coloured sofas (whatever possessed us?), so if adult cats would do instead, you are most welcome to mine.

Northey · 28/04/2012 11:55

On the upside, the sitting room now smells pleasantly of Persil, rather than sweaty games kit and muddy boots (AMNH is splendid in many ways, but his habit of taking off his kit and draping it over the nearest chair and then leaving it there till he fancies wearing it for another run is frankly a valid excuse for murder).

eurochick · 28/04/2012 11:59

It's ttc + hormones, Faith. It's the monthly double whammy of finding out that it hasn't worked (yet again) plus the hormone dip that makes me feel like I want to stamp on the world. I'll be fine in a couple of days but I am in the middle of two days of feeling vile at the moment.

You're both being very industrious! I'm in the office, MNing working. Boooooooooring.

CaveMum · 28/04/2012 12:21

Back from dance lesson (waltz and quickstep today) and now vegging on the sofa watching "How To Marry a Millionnaire" on Film4. I wish I could look as glam as Marilyn/Lauren/Betty Envy. I luff the 50s look, but it is far too dressy these days.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 28/04/2012 12:37

I get you euro. You're well entitled to a few days wallowing. I'm all over the place myself but if course I've not been through the more technical approach to baybee making...
The activity is helping me keep my mind off things too much. I've even cleaned all the sooty residue crap off my piano which I've been meaning to do for a week. I also was over a hour due to take my painkillers before the pain kicked in. I actually think I might be on the mend?!
norf MSB is much the same with clothes! Drives me crackers. At least the living room smells fresh.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 28/04/2012 12:38

Oh I meant to say cavey I luff that 50s style and it would suit my curves, sad it's not easily achievable these days :(

Northey · 28/04/2012 15:27

V faint pink tinging on paper so I expect that's it for another cycle then. I suppose I could waste an hour googling the precise shade of people's implantation bleeds, but I think that's just slightly too rank.

eurochick · 28/04/2012 15:34

See that would get me excited () because I have only ever had pink bleeding once and that was the cycle when I had my possible chem preg. My AF always starts brown but very quickly turns red.

OP posts:
Northey · 28/04/2012 15:38

euro, you have been in the office too long and are clearly verging on derangement :o

Mine always used to be easily identifiable as well - brown tinging, then heavy red flow. But since the ectopic pregnancy it has been totally inconsistent. So I can't even get excited about the unusualness. Though it was quite an odd shade of pink.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 28/04/2012 15:46

Er norf that's a menkul step too far. Sorry to hear about the spotting. Nil points for that! :(
I've had a pleasant distraction of droppings sick note off a work rock n roll, going to a big warehouse store (but not buying anything) and then getting all the American Pie films for a weekend marathon. Weather's too pants to do anything outside. After all that activity Hmm I am shattered so slobbing out suits me nicely!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 28/04/2012 15:49

euro are you home yet?

eurochick · 28/04/2012 15:53

Pah @ "verging on derangement". I have driven over the verge, smashed through the crash barriers and landed in the front garden of derangement.

(I might also have had too much sugar this afternoon Wink ) there is an old fashioned sweet shop near my office and my PMT sugar cravings just drove me to go out in search of pick n mix! I can feel my teeth dissolving as I type...

I'm still at work Faih althought probably not for too much longer. Slobbing out sounds awesome. I can't wait for next weekend. I shall be slobbing out, a la Frenchie.

OP posts:
Northey · 28/04/2012 15:58

Poor mad euro. Such a sad end for a once fine mind.

I really want pic n mix too now. And films.
