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.

by the way all this talk of spells, I know of one. Even though I am interested in all things woo even I haven't bothered with it. Really the best day to do a fertility spell is on Beltane (May Day), but summer solsitice is good too (june is auspicious month for weddings and baybees).
I can share it if anyone wants a laugh is interested.

I am supposed to be packing the caravan. I have distracted myself with tea and cake and youtube. Am trying to learn a new song...

Oh yes please. What a shame we missed Beltane. But June woo sounds excellent. Rulvakia needs some weirdy traditions.

All go this morning! Excellent ovving norf! What cd are you? Will you likely have a short normal for most people! cycle? Well it sounds like the clomid is doing its job!
I am Envy about the going away/dressing up queenie, it sounds like lots of fun. I am actually being abandoned this weekend. MSB grew up in Luton so he supports Luton FC (apparently he can support both them and Man U) and they are in a play off final Sunday so he's off to Luton to say with his Nan Saturday night. I declined the invite, I need a quiet weekend after going back to work this week!
euro I too must attend my smear. What fun! Does it need to be after droid but before egg laying? I must ring and book it.
Overall I think I'm feeling more positive. Despite dreading going back to work, the bad stuff hasn't been too bad and I realised how much I enjoy some of it! I need to make sure I don't wallow in the office too much but get out and do the bits I like :)

eurochick · 17/05/2012 15:07

I think so Faif. Normally any time after Droid is ok, but I am sure I read somewhere that if there is any possibility you could be pregnant (yeah right) you shouldn't have it done so that rules out the 2ww.

And I think I am in the US for that small window next month, so it will have to be a month late. I'm not that bothered. I figure if there was anything absnormal down there, one of the cast of thousands that has peered up there recently would have noticed.

Nice egg work norfy. And I love the idea of you having a norf-west passage. Grin

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 17/05/2012 15:20

Yeah I've delayed mine cos this cycle l was on holiday in the 'right' week and then knew I was due to ov over the weekend do it'll be June for me if I don't get my win this time! I'm not unduly concerned either.

queenrollo · 17/05/2012 16:09

for the spell you need

a candle. a plain white one will be fine, but green is the colour for fertility if you would rather use one.
a small piece of green cloth, and a ribbon to tie it with.
handful of soil
some seeds. Poppy seeds are traditionally associated with fertility but any seed will do.

you put the soil and the seeds in the cloth and tie it with the ribbon. Then you light the candle. the next part is intuitive to how you personally feel. You can sit the parcel next to the candle, or hold it in your hands. You stare at meditate on the flame, and think quietly to yourself about what it is you want. You can visualise the seeds growing, or visualise a baby growing inside you. You can ask the universe/god/goddess/gin fairy to grant your wish/give you strength as you wait for what you want. Whatever you feel comfortable with really. Once you are happy that you've done this for long enough then you can blow the candle out (some would leave it to burn right down, but I don't)

After this then you can put the parcel near your bed or wherever you're going to be sechsing and that's it.

Cavorting naked while casting is optional Grin

It's not the sort of woo I hold with in a magical way, but more as a meditation for positive thought. But every person has their own beliefs. I don't go with the whole potions aspect of spells....mixing cocktails is my kind of magic Grin

this is not getting my packing done. Now do I take the British army uniform, or the hideous 80's cocktail dress. or both. I already have a remarable kaftan for the suggested theme of Flower Power. Or maybe i should crack out the Bo-Peep-goes-toMoulin-Rouge outfit.

OP posts:
queenrollo · 17/05/2012 16:16

i even have a remarkable kaftan.

blimey, I haven't even started on the gin yet. maybe that's where i'm going wrong...

OP posts:
Northey · 17/05/2012 16:21

What a lovely spell! I even have some poppy seeds in my baking cupboard. I might give it a go, if I can decide on a god/fairy/universe to address.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 17/05/2012 16:21

Both, prepare for every eventuality. Know you start to understand why my nickname was luggage queen in my teens!
I have opted for my own version of the spell, I bought MSB a bottle of Spring Breeze which has a picture of a goddess of fertility on it Hmm Grin Well it might make him happy enough with me to get him into bed! Wink
Oh an update on the drama with MSB's friend: turns out it was no photos, just a couple of texts. She sounds rather menkul intense. She started sending texts to him saying she was going to see her ex and do all kind if things with him Hmm. Anyway, Tuesday night she told him to collect the rest of his stuff duo he went round. Then she invited him to stay...so they're trying to work out if they stay together but he's looking for somewhere to rent to give them both head space. The mind boggles.

Northey · 17/05/2012 16:24

Ah well, sometimes the dynamics of other people's relationships are just beyond all understanding. At least you have your house back for uninhibited sechsing now.

Oh - you asked what CD I am. CD18 today, so I ovulated somewhere between CD16 and today.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 17/05/2012 16:32

Indeed. I'm trying not to judge. We did the sechs the other night, after a week away with our family and then the friend staying it was nice to not have to be quiet!
Wow norf! We're virtually in sync. Just like the band :)

queenrollo · 17/05/2012 16:46

i also have a Barbarella outfit, a Poison Ivy costume (home made, i'm never sewing silk flowers onto anything ever again), and German Prison Officers uniform (with hat! it's a great hat. ), and tweed plus fours/country gal get up.

I seem to have more fancy dress than normal clothes Hmm maybe i should start wearing it in rotation when I do the weekly shopping. My friends wouldn't bat an eyelid....

OP posts:
eurochick · 17/05/2012 16:47

Oooo, new woo. How exciting.

Norfy we are cycle buddies - CD18 here too! But I think I oved on day 14 (Sunday)and FF thinks it was day 13 (Saturday) so I will anticipate a droidal visit a little before you.

eurochick · 17/05/2012 16:48

Grin loving the fancy dress collection, rollo

queenrollo · 17/05/2012 16:48

i just remembered I have a bright green evening dress with sequins which Margot from The Good Life would have been envious of. I think I should wear that if I ever get to meet you Faith we could do lunch in style....

OP posts:
Northey · 17/05/2012 17:13

Positive thinking, euro. Anticipating bfps, not droids.

queenrollo · 17/05/2012 17:23

Donna Summer has died.

CaveMum · 17/05/2012 18:02

Oh no, that's so sad! She can't have been very old Sad

queeny HWHNN also has an impressive dress-up box! Apparently it's a military thing Hmm I should be grateful he's not a Royal Marine - they seem to take 1 of 2 options: women's clothing or butt naked!

If anyone is interested, now that I'm at home I can post a link to that video I was telling you about:

I was there that day, t'was amazing Grin

[racing nerd]

CaveMum · 17/05/2012 18:07

And if you enjoyed that is also worth watching.

I'll stop trying to convert you all now Grin

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 17/05/2012 19:02

I'll get into racing if there's moolah to be made....
queen I'd always had visions of us meeting when you came here for an appt for those of you who don't know, we live relatively close in the hospital and was planning to dress up as.....a nurse Hmm
I'm close cycle buddy wise! Although droid played hide and seek at the end of the last cycle, I think I ovulated around Monday so I think I'm near you two, CD12 for me!

CaveMum · 18/05/2012 08:03

Ah, I see I more or less killed the fred with my racing vids. Humble apologies.

[flagellates self in obeisance]

[rather enjoys self]

Faithy, if I knew what I was doing on the gambling front I'd be a rich women by now! I do have a small bet every now and then but I love racing because of the horses. They are perfect athletes and Frankel could well be the best horse there has ever been. He is currently rated as the best horse in the world, and in the all-time rankings is currently considered the 5th best ever. If he has a good season he's likely to over take them all.

queenrollo · 18/05/2012 08:38

i have friends who stable/train race horses. I'm not a horsey person really, but they are magnificent creatures.

Last minute packing here and the off to collect Ds from his dads, before we set off.
