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.

Hooray!! For a sticky heart beatingy bean in the right place!! Grin do you feel like you can breathe a little now? Angry that you're having problems getting ante-natal care though. Kick some arse! (just mention PALS)

That's me flashing my tits! sorry I'm a bit bored

sinkingflameofhilarity · 18/06/2012 18:45

Congrats Rollo!

Sorry you're not 100% faife. Does the shopping and boredom mean things aren't as bad as last time?

I've had a bt of an up and down time recently (not actually been away, but trying to minimise the menkul). Got my 'ivf' clinic appt for Aug, but in a moment of weakness, looked up my records again at work (this is v bad. Must not do again). Letter from gynaecology to GP basically said "you've sent sinky to the wrong clinic. She is coming to a general gyn clinic but now she can't be seen sooner so we'll see her then to tell her and repeat all the investigations"...

Not impressed was not the word. But what the hell do you do when you hold never have seen that letter?

And then today, hurrah!, a letter from GP saying have been referred to ivf clinic and ignore the aug appt... Appointment now July 2nd! Now if I can just convince them to not repeat my investigations I'll be laughing...

Less pleasant was my (pregnant) friends dad giving me a big hug as he left a wedding we were both at, then whispered in my ear "hope you get pregnant soon". Hmm

Anyways... Any more news peeps? Have scanned the board but there was an awful lot to catch up on!

HaveALittleFaith · 18/06/2012 19:47

Howdy sinky! Nice to see you! :) rubbish about realising your referrals have been cocked up but at least you will get seen and soon now. What kind of clinic should you be seen in then? Endocrinology?

Pain is maybe as bad as it was 2 weeks after coming out of hospital. Peaking at about 8/10 whereas hospital was 9-10...

AIBU to be a bit pissed off that MSB is searching for jobs in Devon? In essence he wants to sell the house after waiting so long to come back give my Dad his deposit back and ,I've to Devon. Even though his Mum is there who he doesn't speak to Hmm and I only know he's looking at these jobs because I've found the page open on the iPad. I'm not moving to Devon

sinkingflameofhilarity · 18/06/2012 19:59

Devon? Er... Why? Sure it's a beautiful part of the world, but a long way from most things- especially when you've just got your house back! Are you sure it wasn't just idle browsing? I've been known to do that...

As for clinic, I was sent to the general gyn clinic I think, whereas I need to go to the infertility (Sad) clinic. But all sorted now. Except GHJ is in Paris with work and I'm meant to be in the middle of a week of nights...

HaveALittleFaith · 18/06/2012 20:07

Ah. Need a slight adjustment then sinkers.

Well most of his family are there. Now as I said, his crazy Mum is there, his uncle (MIL'a brother) and aunt, cousins. His grandparents are about an hour down the road but that's not an easy relationship. When we met he had a job offer to go down there but chose to move to Lincoln to be with me. It's his fantasy get out I think Confused but we don't have the money to even move! I think he'd up and leave this house because he feels unsettled. Having lived in a rented house for 5 months, I don't really want to give up our home! Argh.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 18/06/2012 20:17

Argh indeed. GHJ talks about moving back up north, but I think it's empty talk for the next few years at least.

What do you think about moving? Would you consider it if you talked to him about it? Maybe he's got an a-mazing grand plan? Where are your family? Might be useful to have a babysitter or two nearby?

sinkingflameofhilarity · 18/06/2012 20:17

That's a lot of questions. Feel free to ignore.

HaveALittleFaith · 18/06/2012 20:36

An he's just come in must be half-time and said he was only curious Hmm

To be fair, we seriously looked at moving oop norf a couple of years ago but we could get so little for our money round Manc Lincolnshire is crazy cheap we changed our minds. Found nice houses but not in very nice areas. I took it serially, even applied for jobs and got an interview! We agreed to commit to here. My family are found the corner. Literally. All in the same village! Bout 5 minutes walk to Dsis, maybe 15 to Dad's. We have put in plenty of babysitting for DNephew so would hope we get repaid in kind if when we have a baybee. So just a random notion that apparently he knew I'd blow out of proportion. I guess I've quite liked having my own space - night times aside and it's a bit odd him having back, leaving dirty pants on the floor, trail of breadcrumbs, loo roll empty and toilet seat up.....

Northey · 19/06/2012 07:05

sinky, that's shit! How frustrating! Can you make yourself feel better by discombobulating them? Walk in and say "I think you have me in the wrong clinic. I daresay you'll be repeating all the tests while we wait for me to get an appointment in the right one."

I am surreptitiously fingering my nipples on the train. I've had no sensitivity at all this cycle (the one sign of ovulation I've managed to pick up). Hmm.

Off to Ascot ladies! Back later, hopefully with pictures!

sinkingflameofhilarity · 19/06/2012 07:42

Hehe. Nipple prodding on train. Tell me norf, have people started sidling away from you? Could be an interesting way to guarantee a bit of space in the morning?

Am exhausted this morning. Really late to leave for work now, but still not hauling myself away from my cup of tea and posting on here. Humm. Exhaustion could be a sign of miracle diffedness, no?

Northey · 19/06/2012 10:44

Bugs. So so sorry scan not better news. Sit tight. A week will tell. My heart actually aches for you. (apologies if overly mushy)

My clinic in July has now been cancelled. Only rang to check was ok to go without GHJ. Now have to wait for a questionnaire to be sent to me... I have no idea what they're playing at.

sinkingflameofhilarity · 19/06/2012 11:34

Ooh. Xpost. That sounds a little reassuring? Still crap for you though.

I can do a grow baby grow dance if you think it would be appropriate?

HaveALittleFaith · 19/06/2012 13:05

Well the pee sticks are a good thing though yes bugs? Not going in the wrong direction at least...I did wonder if maybe they were just a bit early re dates. Hang in there.

The massage has down wonders for me! The abdo pain still lurks but the main issue I was having was lower back ache - presumably referred pain from the other pain, walking funny etc. she's worked out some big knots and feel so much more comfortable!

Had a misse call from a blocked number at home and on mobile. Hate that!

HaveALittleFaith · 19/06/2012 13:47

Hallejuyah! You ring and a get a bit arsey and an appointment comes through the next day! Got an appointment for Monday :) its the not knowing when it was going to be that was troubling me.

queenrollo · 19/06/2012 13:52

Yay!! that's great news faith
