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.

I think lulls just happen sometimes! What you up to flamey?
I'm watching Coyote Ugly. The cynical part of me wonders how on earth anyone gets served if they're always dancing on the bar?!

sinkingflameofhilarity · 15/04/2012 15:23

I think you might be over thinking that film faithy..

I've just picked up ghj from the airport, and am now watching reruns of man v food. Quality tv.

Toying with the idea of going out for some food later. May have to, cupboards as bear as mother Hubbard. slovenly wife

AlpinePony · 15/04/2012 15:23

I'm sorry faith but I can't let this go - you slate Transformers (which is great aside shia and Megan), yet you'll voluntarily watch coyote ugly, possibly the worst film ever made? Egads!

PS shred welcome and fear not, you can eat blue cheese. You're just not allowed to carry cakes.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 15/04/2012 15:33

Humm, we could have a stonking BESH film punch up debate.

Transformers and coyote ugly both trash (but not unpleasantly brain numbing).

I raise you both Rocky I through IV. And Rocky Balboa.

And if that doesn't float your boat, Kickass...

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 15/04/2012 15:47

pone! Long time no see! How's the foal?!
I really didn't luff Transformers though actually it wasn't quite as bad as I remembered and MSB insists it's the worst of the three which implies he'll make me watch the other two! Yup Coyote Ugly is awful but I feel it falls into the cheesy chick flick genre that I'm entitled to watch since my brain is turning to mush. Also Adam Garcia gets shirtless in it and he is hot!
ashamed to confess I've never seen the Rocky films but it's on our list of things to watch. I'd never seen the Die Hard quadrilogy which MSB soon corrected! I actually didn't expect to enjoy them but I luffed them!

eurochick · 15/04/2012 16:21

The Die Hard films are great. We went to the cinema yesterday and saw The Cabin in the Woods, which was an interesting twist on the genre. Quite enjoyable. Over the weekend I have read 2/3 of the Hunger Games trilogy (reading the last one now) so we might go to see that next weekend. I'm really enjoying it.

Pone how's life?

I finally have my LH surge. So that should mean we go in tomorrow to be farmyard aminals have our IUI. KFZK is not looking forward to his part - so far he has managed to produce his SA samples at home so tomorrow will be his first time of having to produce the goods in a clinical setting. We have been joking that he should write "Plz deal" on the label...

Hellooooooz, life is good - I'm all in a spin trying to fit it all in. Trying to set up new business, got a new riding instructor, went skiing with browncups on Friday, going to the seaside this week viz see boys. Bizzee! The foal is a cutie-pie waging a one-baybee war upon sleep and frankly he's kicking its arse.

euro is right, read books whilst you have the chance, watch DVD's. In the last month I've not even completed a Marion keyes, fell asleep for the last 20 minutes of The Wire (second series), fallen asleep during the girl who kicked the hornet's nest and the first episode of the killing.

AlpinePony · 15/04/2012 17:09

I've seen every episode of Thomas though. :(

ShredniVashtar · 15/04/2012 17:41

Hey, a mention from old-time BESH! < proud>

What is all this about carrying cakes? I've made some heavy fruit cakes in my time but I dont think any of them would, y'know, cause a nasty strain [ confused]. Pliz to explain?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 15/04/2012 18:04

er I don't know meself
That's luffly pone about little foal although sympathies for the lack of sleep. You do sound like a busy bee! Sounds like things are generally quite good though.
I think I need to watch less day time tv this week and read more. Cunning plan.

eurochick · 15/04/2012 19:16

Pone that does not bode well for me - I am capable of doing that kind of falling asleep now!

Evening BESH, how are we all this evening?

Today I consider progress - no tears!

In EggWatch news, CBFM has now downgraded me to 1 bar again, but I'm sure the second line on the cheapy OPK was darker today, compared to yesterday's. However we have diligently done the sechs and HWHNN has decided he will stay to it and head back early tomorrow morning. That means an early session tomorrow!

Going to phone the clinic again tomorrow to find out what I should do re blood tests. Technically I should be having another one tomorrow, but again I don't see much point when I know I haven't ovulated. Don't want to piss them off though!

ShredniVashtar · 15/04/2012 19:54

Glad you've had a tears free day, Cave, and good work with the shagging! Am on CD 6 here so commencing operation sechs fest soon.

Today I am feeling quite proud of doing some gardening and justified in eating remaining Easter chocolate while watching Homeland.

Do you have any good books lined up, Faith?

sinkingflameofhilarity · 15/04/2012 19:56

Excellent seching efforts cavey. My clinic were fine when I just turned up for my day 21 bloods on day 28. Also, I don't get monitored on each cycle, but also they don't mind when I just ring and ask for an extra blood (quite rightly, give others seem to get monthly uss and bloods etc)

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 15/04/2012 20:07

Good sechsing cavey, let's hope you lay tomorrow so the timing is right. Definitely call the clinic - it's a waste of everyone's time to do blood tests when you're confident you've not ovulated yet!
Shred good effort in the garden. Definitely worth the effort/reward isn't it? You deserve the chocolate.
Well before I got ill I was reading Winter Solstice so I should try to finish that first!
I'm cd11 and should ov soon. Not easy with not being well but will have a crack at this month!

sinkingflameofhilarity · 15/04/2012 20:19

I'm currently cd28, so mid tww thanks to my stupidly long cycles. Not hopeful for this month though. All seching at the right time, but it just feels unlikely. Particularly as I had kind of hoped for a FUFC moment.

Good effort with gardening shred. I mowed the lawn about 2 weeks ago, then realised the cable was cut through to the wire just where I hold it to keep it out the way. So it's waiting for the tip, but no replacement as yet. Irritatingly, I've left it put in the hope the local scallys, who'll normally steal anything not screwed down, will take it off my hands and hopefully get electrocuted into the bargain , but it remains. Rubbish scallys.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 15/04/2012 20:20

Epic strikethru fail. Oh for an edit button.

Winkly · 15/04/2012 20:27

Everyone has put in good efforts the last couple of days, with sechsing and gardening and suchlike. I feel very slatternly as I have no garden and have done no sechs (although that was not by choice).

Can I ask an ovulation stick question?

CaveMum · 15/04/2012 20:29

Course you can Winkly, there is good collective knowledge on this fred, so someone is bound to be able to help you.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 15/04/2012 20:31

Well cavey, help is a strong word... We'll certainly give you an opinion, but no guarantee on its accuracy!

sinkingflameofhilarity · 15/04/2012 20:32

But Winkly please ask!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 15/04/2012 20:32

You can ask! not that I'll be any help, never got on with them myself I'm sure one of the BESH will be able to help :)

Winkly · 15/04/2012 20:32

I might sound stupid - but if I have cervical mucus so egg-whitey I could make an omelette, then should I have some sort of a line on an OPK? Because there was nothing at all. Fanks.

CaveMum · 15/04/2012 20:37

Hmm, tricky one and I'm definitely no expert. In my case I don't seem to get much in the way of CM so can't use it as a reliable guide. If I were you I'd definitely get sechsing just to safe, and keep an eye on the OPKs.
I'm sure I read that the LH surge usually occurs in the afternoon, so if you are testing in the mornings you might miss it.

eurochick · 15/04/2012 20:49

I don't get much CM these days, but what little I do get seems to be a bit out of synch with my LH surge - it comes a day or two before. By the time I ov, fertile CM seems to have disappeared.

Are you on fertility friend? You could browse the gallery there to see what seems to be a "normal" pattern.
