The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia

Welcome to The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia. The national drink is of course gin, state funded to get you into a state. We have many traditions and customs, such as sechsing, swearing for the fun of it (optional) and urinating on little white sticks.
Enemy of the state is Droid, who must be heckled heartily should it put in an appearance. There is an ongoing lottery to win a baybee, being granted citizenship of The Republic is your ticket to the lottery.

As a democracy all members are entitled to put forward any customs or rules they would like and we can all adopt important but silly titles if we like. See the George Carlin sketch about hats and religion and make your own mind up about whether you would like a ceremonial hat to accompany whichever title/role you bestow upon yourself.

Newcomers should find and complete the BESHtionnaire so we can make sure you are cynical and non-fluffy enough to be granted Citizenship.

New job starts tomorrow. Gulp. I am ignoring the pile of reading I should do, and am eating toffee and reading Country Life, to retreat into a happy, ageless world of oak and gundogs.

I am also procrastinating against the mountain of marking I have to do before back to school tomorrow - boo.

I made it to church (just) but couldn't stand even for the songs! So I pulled out of the ball. Disappointed but it's about self-preservation.
Currently installed on the sofa while MSB goes to town in the garden with a strimmer!

Gah! Also have to go to the dreaded Asda to get something for dinner. Bloody husbands having their birthdays on a Sunday.

Northey · 10/06/2012 16:06

Now on to Homes and Gardens, and a custard slice. It's lucky my work trousers are slightly too big, as I should have expanded to fill them nicely by tomorrow.

So. Any more bfps? I feel cheated these days if we go more than five minutes...

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 10/06/2012 16:58

Currently installed on the sofa watching Hitch and drinking tea whilst wallowing in self-pity. Happy birthday to CHG!

No BFPs this end norf reckon I'm laying my egg today.

Northey · 10/06/2012 17:13

Will you be able to manage a sechs, do you reckon?

If this cycle is the same as last one, I shall be laying on Friday or Saturday. I shall hurtle home after work for urgent sechsing (new job, inconveniently, means I shall be joining cavey in the challenging world of ttc while only seeing each other on weekends...).

alwyn · 10/06/2012 17:22

CGH is enjoying this TTC too much I feel. Being pestered for the sechs.

Keep telling him later. EWCM this morning but no joy as yet with OPKs, then again am only CD10. Will just have to keep POAS and DTD and hope for the best.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 10/06/2012 17:30

Pain is pretty bad but I will man up haha and try to seduce himself when the football is finished!

So you'll be in the big smoke in the week? I wondered how you'd manage all that travelling...

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 10/06/2012 17:31

Pain is pretty bad but I will man up haha and try to seduce himself when the football is finished! That would be every other day across what I perceive to be my fertile time so a fair crack at the whip.

Sorry didn't think that had posted since my phone died as I posted.

als best to pace yourselves!!

alwyn · 10/06/2012 17:38

Not that I'm not enjoying it, of course, but in the middle of the day is a bit inconvenient Grin

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 10/06/2012 18:20

Oh middle of the day/early afternoon is my preferred time!! We've had a change of circumstances since MSB has been treated. I get propositioned way more often these days....not that I'm complaning! Wink

alwyn · 10/06/2012 18:37

I'm running the gauntlet between wanting to as much as poss to maximise diffing chances, but all this sudden sechsing is making me a bit sore!!

ShredniVashtar · 10/06/2012 18:44

Evening all. Have v limited signal here - currently sticking phone out of a window - so will be posting less for the next few days!

Good luck with new job, norf, and stick with it faith and alwyn. Happy sechsing!

CaveMum · 10/06/2012 19:09

Evening all, CD 29 here and still no fecking egg laying Angry

Faith sorry your still in pain. Are you going back to the Drs?

Norf, good luck with the new job. The weekend sechsing is a bit of a pain, but you soon learn to deal with it.

Alwyn, I'm with you on the sore bits! In the last 10 days we've done the sechs 8 times Shock Still no bloody egg though!

[waves to other BESH and PESH]

alwyn · 10/06/2012 19:12

I'm just not used to it! Before this whole ttc lark we might have the sechs once a week?? But now I'm scared NOT to do it at least EOD!

eurochick · 10/06/2012 19:13

Afternoon laydeez. I think I laid my egg last night/early this morning as my temp was up a little this morning (although I had a lie in so it's not that dependable). But my boobs feel a little sore and they never hurt pre-ov, so I am pretty sure I had oved. That would put ov at day 13 or early on day 14. I've never oved earlier than day 14 on a non-medicated cycle. I am wondering if the magic baby laydee reflexology made the difference.

Ok, may be tmi but does anyone find excess wind as a sign of OV?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 10/06/2012 19:52

I have ibs so not relevant for me to comment alwyn! I find the pant snot changes and I get a prickly type pain from the relevant side. I have to say I'm finding combining the pant snot indicators with the smiley pee sticks much easier than charting. Definitely less menkul and less stressed with it all so I'm glad I made the change.

euro I'll need to go back to GP for more painkillers since I have nearly run out., they won't do anything I don't think since I'm waiting to see a specialist and the have no idea what's wrong with me!

I really hope your woo helps! swim up KFZK's swimmers!

I still think that bloke on OBEM is gay. I think I remember that he is in some sort of fundamentalist church and I bet good money that in 10 years if you track him down he will be living with his boyfriend. Not that I have been people go through experiences like that in similar churches of anything!
