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.

That's good faithey but at the the idea of marriage classes! Eugh.

It wasn't how I'd have imagined. My sister got wed in Catholic church and she had the traditional stuff. Ours was more like dinner, watch a Dvd thing then talk about ishoos like money, arguing, sechs, having baybees. The couple were luffly, only in their 40s with teenage kids so quite easy to relate to. I'm actually glad we did it in retrospect!

eurochick · 19/04/2012 14:02

Sorry, but it sounds awful to me! Sitting around talking about my future sechs life with people I don't really know?* Once again, I am glad to be an heathen athiest!

*I realise the irony, given how much I overshare on here, but tbh I worked up to it gradually once I felt I "knew" you somewhat.

I'd heard more gory details intimate stuff from non-Christian friends! It was fine and the food was good!
Oh my days it's got to 2pm already...I've watched everything on E4. That's a bit sad. Reckon I'd best tackle the spare room.

I think my own education on marriage came from learning from people around me whose marriages had failed for a variety of reasons - affairs, growing apart after having children, being completely ill-suited in the first places and so on. We'd been together for seven years by the time we got married and had lived together for two of those, so we knew full well what were letting ourselves in for and what the other person's views on no. of kids, money, etc were by that point. And we were well past the honeymoon stage as far as sechs was concerned!

I know what you mean euro, it's good to recognise other peoples strengths and mistakes.
When I say how long we'd been together - together 8 months, got engaged, got married 9 months after!- it sounds really fast but it got real very fast cos my Mum was diagnosed with cancer before we'd even been together two months When I say this it still feels like I'm talking about someone else's life 5 years on! and bless him, he was there for me. He had a lot of wet t-shirts! :)
still haven't moved from the sofa

eurochick · 19/04/2012 16:07

Aw, faithy that's good. My mum was diagnosed with a secondary bone cancer (having recovered from breast cancer a few years earlier) a few months after KFZK and I first got together. In fact, we had just had a tiff and broken up. He came round to pick up the things he had left at mine shortly after I got the news. He stuck around to support me and we stayed together. Well sort of. We were a bit on and off for the first years. In fact we were at 2-2 on dumping one another when we got engaged. I think we have decided to call it a draw now!

I have gone through a Ritter hazelnut in 30 seconds. I have got an interview coming up and there is a very real risk that I won't fit into my interview suit.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 19/04/2012 19:39

Just ate a creme egg before and after dinner. Very real risk my uniforms won't fit when I finally get back to work!

CaveMum · 19/04/2012 20:42

Hola BESHville, this is Tbilisi calling with results of the Georgian vote [not really, but y'know it's Eurovisiony]

Well CD31 here and still no sign of ov [kicks ovaries].

Absolutely shattered as I was in work from 8.15 till 7.30 due to meetings. So glad sechs is not called for tonight Grin

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/04/2012 06:41

Good morning, good morning, calling in with results from somewhere very easterly (to make up for hideous o'clock getting up)...

we awardzz zilch pointzz to cave's absent droid. Even if it meant no enforced sechsing.

And I made and ate (lots of) cake last night - but I just had a bowl of lovely muesli, some juice and tea :) before I need to brave the world out there (read the clinic).

Grin at calling it a draw witk KFZK euro. But very sad both you and faith have had such ill mothers. My dad suffered with cancer long before SB came to the scene, but he thankfully has been in the clear for years.

What is on the BESHAgenda today? Here it is a bloody assignment, a job application and a dildo-cam. So come and talk to me!!!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 07:57

Bonjourno tutti! Good even-ning from Italy. We award nil points to Cavey's lack of egg laying! Have the clinic talked to you about the blood tests yet?
Drizzly assignments are an endurance test, as are job applications! What's it for? But honestly, most of us have had the fanjocam and it's ok. Dignity on a par with a smear but not painful. Just a tad uncomfortable, but definitely not painful!
I'm off to the doctors again today if I can get an appt! about whether I'm fit to work - MSB says I'm not - and about stopping the codiene. Oh and my piano is coming back, yay!

FriendofDorothy · 20/04/2012 08:52

I found dildocam fascinating. I think I am weird.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 08:59

Oh no I did too! I was craning my neck to see. Well it's part of you that you don't get to see is it?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 09:00

Oh no I did too! I was craning my neck to see. Well it's not part of you that you usually get to see is it?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 09:01

sorry thought I'd stopped the Weirdly worded one in time!

Northey · 20/04/2012 09:06

I love dildocam. I giggled all through my first one.

I meant to POAS this morning, but forgot till it was too late. Later I shall be rearranging my driving test, bravely seeing if suit trousers actually do up, having a driving lesson and thinking what I can cook with some leftover ham. Boiled potatoes and salad are just so dull.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 09:34

What cd are you at now norf? Will you poas tomorrow then?
I'm off to the docs at 10.20. I dunno what to do pain/work wise. I thought I was much better but today the pain's quite bad again Confused Grr. Well I'll ask the doctor, they're the expert.

Northey · 20/04/2012 09:44

CD29. Though I'm probably only just ovulating, based on last cycle.

I can't believe you're still in pain! What is it that's meant to have happened? Should they have cured the actual illness, or we're they waiting for it to go away on its own, and just managing the pain in the meantime?

CaveMum · 20/04/2012 11:18

Erm, got my blood results back and they say yes to ovulation Confused

I'm utterly bemused now as I've had no temp shift at all.

This is my chart, blood was taken on Day 30 so that puts ov at any time, I'd guess, between Day 23 and Day 30?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/04/2012 11:36

Er cavey is that the right chart link?
Norf since they never 100% confirmed the diagnosis, the treatment plan was always just to take the painkillers til it settled. I really don't think it's a kidney infection since the antibiotics made little difference and no-one offered me any since! I tried to stop the codiene too radically and suffered for it. The doc had prescribed me more of the buscopan,I ran out of it, which was helping before. I am getting there but still not ready to return to work.

CaveMum · 20/04/2012 11:42

Yup, that's the one Faif. It's a real humdinger, or should that be "Humperdinck" in honour of our Eurovision entry this year!

Northey · 20/04/2012 11:50

You have PCOS as well, don't you, cavey? Has temping always been reliable for you before? I have heard it can be a bit weird for PCOS sufferers.
