Welcome to the 2.30 from Mumsnet Towers. The fillies have been groomed to within an inch of their lives and are raring to go.

Late entries for the race are required to locate and fill in the BESHtionnaire so that their form can be assessed.

Bring on the stallions!

Oooh went to see that for my 18th, a classic. The book is brilliant (obviously) - still prefer the BBC (?) Adaptation to the harry potter one.

HaveALittleFaith · 06/07/2012 20:08

Hiya pone how you and the foal diddling?

AlpinePony · 06/07/2012 20:54

'ello fayff The foal is doing fine, he is currently snoozing open-mouthed on the sofa next to me. One hand has escaped from the top of his swaddle, the other from the middle. Hmm I am orf to watch the x-country in Germany tomorrow with cupofbrownjoy - we're going to cheer on TeamGB before the olympics. Rah rah rah! What's new with you?

HaveALittleFaith · 06/07/2012 21:04

Aw I can just imagine it. Whenever we hear from you I imagine that snuffly lickle baybee and remember what this process is all about! I get a bit too focussed on that illusion BFP!

Give cup my luff! X-country sounds exciting!

I'm ok thanks, still struggling a bit with this ongoing pain but hoping my op date will be here soon to get rid of it! Not convinced I'll get diffed until I get that fixed but it means I'm more relaxed about things in the meantime.
Otherwise ishoos with work have improved and the house is looking luffly! so nice to be home just doing normal things like slobbing on the sofa watching telly and MNetting. Ah broadband. Ah, recordable tv Grin

AlpinePony · 06/07/2012 21:13

Oh fuck kbd ate my post.

I must've missed something, they actually found out what was wrong with you and have a solution to tackle it? Shock I do hope this means you're on the mend.

I can also understand your loving being at home. When I was younger I had such terrible wanderlust I couldn't even commit to a country never mind a town. These days I get angsty when I'm more than a few nights from home.

Yes, he is utterly adorable and snuggly - and a total mini-me - he looks exactly like me which is so bizarre. Let's just not mention the undiagnosed reflux eh?

HaveALittleFaith · 06/07/2012 21:19

Yes 3 1/2 months after I was admitted they have given me a pretty form diagnosis. I saw a urologist last week who thinks its a blockage in my urinary tract - possibly due to a kidney stone that's got stuck. He said no point in doing more scans, he think the best thing is to put a camera and due up my waterworks tube makes a change from the fanjo! to see what's there and hopefully clear the blockage in one go. They're going to give me a GA so I'll be none the wiser!

CamelKnees · 06/07/2012 21:32

Evening BESH!

Love the gymkhana of sechs norfy that has really made me Grin.

Makes me think of random night out in a previously untested nightclub (years ago clearly).

Stood outside and music sounded good.

Then got to the front of the queue to be greeted by two hostesses with clipboards doing the usual guest list checking off. So far so standard night out.

Except they were dressed in latex outfits with riding hats on with big long faux pony tails and carrying whips!!! We were a bit concerned that it was a sechs club for sechs people into horses or similar. Clearly had to go in to find out......

and it was a bit of an anti-climax.

No one swinging from the light fixtures or wearing a saddle. just normal nightclub. Never did find out why they were dressed as horse hookers.

Anyway hope everyone else is good. bugs still thinking of you lots.

Not much to report here except the menkulling has begun. Latest OV date (at best guestimate) is today so officially in 2WW. Somehow just don't feel like we've done it. Can't put my finger on why.

CaveMum · 06/07/2012 21:34

"Horse hooker", that's how HWHNN used to describe my old job Grin, though I was more a horse pimp I feel Wink

CamelKnees · 06/07/2012 21:55

Ha!! Now there's something you don't get called everyday cavey!!!

alwyn · 07/07/2012 13:02

[laughing quietly to myself about the horse hookers!]

Have decided being a specs wearer trying to watch TV while holding legs in the air to maximise the aid of gravity is hard. Then I needed to pee, classy bird that I am.

eurochick · 07/07/2012 13:32

Heh@horse hooker!

In TMI news, I think sludgegate might finally have stopped. I have had two consecutive wees now with no sign of sludge.

I'm in the office today. Boooooooo. I'm behind due to all the hospital appointments and menkulling! Still, at least I have the theatre to look forward to this evening.

eurochick · 07/07/2012 13:58

*too

CaveMum · 07/07/2012 15:59

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I'm about to head out as the Olympic torch is passing through our vicinity in about an hour [outs self]

Hope you've all noticed that Clare Balding is doing a web chat on Monday at 1.30pm, so I'll be expecting you all to pitch in with horsey questions Grin

OP posts:
Northey · 07/07/2012 16:24

As I am newly horsey, cavey, I shall be right there, with inane questions like "Am I meant to end up sitting on my clitoris?" and "Is it normal to be afflicted with dreadful flatulence when trotting?" Sadly, no one will believe I'm not taking the piss.

Congrats on the end of sludge, euro, and best wishes for your very own sechsgymkhana later. If that is indeed still the plan. Any idea at all what the heck your body might be doing at the moment?

LauraPalmer · 07/07/2012 16:40

Hmmmmm...Cavelina, me thinks you'll be very very near to our house this evening...

eurochick · 07/07/2012 17:18

Norfy my body is currently a mystery to me. I have no idea how much the drugs will have f*ed things up, nor indeed whether I should count CD1 as when I started my bleed or when I stopped the drugs. Isn't it fun? I had lots of ov twinges as soon as I came off the drugs but nothing for the past few days. My boobs don't hurt though, so I can be pretty sure I haven't oved but that's about it. After well over a year of temping and knowing exactly where in my cycle I was, this feels rather odd. I am trying to go with it rather than menkul about it....

But hurrah for the sechsgymkhana! Poor KFZK. He's a bit under the weather and all. He won't know what has hit him. Grin

Norfy I think the answer to the clit Q is "yes" and is why so many teenaged girls are so keen on ponies. Wink

Enjoy the torch. Let's hope they have relit it, eh?

alwyn · 07/07/2012 17:50

euro maybe the relaxation about it is just what you need.

HaveALittleFaith · 07/07/2012 18:06

Have you got more woo planned euro? I felt do much better after my massage I took my beauty lady flowers! :) I guess all you can do is go with the flow for now. Is the plan to just let the fake hormones leave your system and go back to having the sechs and see what happens?

I am a bit miz, almost like today has been the first day in months we've stopped and it's a massive anti-climax. I'm going to go to the supermarket in a bit since I need GF pizza for dinner and frankly, I quite enjoy it!

I know little of horses having only ridden about 4 times. Just remembered my DMum having a lesson and squealing as she climed on: argh it moves Grin

Enjoy the torch watching Cavey!

CaveMum · 07/07/2012 18:18

Ooo LP are you East Angular too??? Just got home, local town was packed.

Feeling narked with HWHNN though, he's gone to an air show with a mate today and they were supposed to leave just after 3 to get back in time for us to spend a decent evening together. He's just texted to say he's still 130 miles away and stuck in a mahoosive traffic jam Angry

OP posts:
Northey · 07/07/2012 19:01

I'd be narked too, cave. Even though technically it isn't his fault. Probably.

faif i thought you were talking about some things called lady flowers and was most confused about whether it was a euphemism.

CaveMum · 07/07/2012 19:05

Nope, definitely his fault Grin. The venue is about 160 miles from us. I can't believe that it took him 3 hours to travel 30 miles before sending me a text. My hunch is he left at about 5 and then hit traffic. Men! Tsk.

alwyn · 07/07/2012 19:26

Could be worse - our boiler has fried itself with all the rain. Pissing through from a corroded flue and streaming through the boiler. Can't get a new flue until Monday. Arse.

HaveALittleFaith · 07/07/2012 19:52

:( to cavey for the travelling man and super :( Angry about the prospect of cold showers for a couple of days!

Did my trip round the vairy posh supermarket Tescos disappointed with the clothes selection so just bought food and cleaning supplies. I'm so rock'n'roll Hmm

I was trying to avoid calling her my 'beautician' norf! Trying to think of what lady flowers could be...I imagine sellers of vagisil and femfresh using it as a slogan making your fanjo smell like laydee flowers

On another note I have stalked name searched and it appears dizzy has laid norf. A lickle girl.

Northey · 07/07/2012 21:58

Oh, I'm pleased for her. That's good news.

HaveALittleFaith · 07/07/2012 22:07

Tis nice isn't it? I'm not jealous, much
I'm in a people I was hoping to be on mat leave with will be back by the time I'm diffed day. One girl at work told me she was diffed at 11 weeks and she just went on mat leave for 6 months....another girl told me she was diffed, we'd been TTC longer than her already. She's about to come back after 14 months off Hmm

We did manage the non-painful, yay! sechs today which should be ok timing wise but I don't hold out much hope. I in no way wore a thong and then chose to try on my wedding outfit when MSB was home from work to lure him into bed. Oh no, not me Grin
