986 replies

CaveMum · 22/06/2012 18:57

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!

Yow yow yow at cystoscopy! But it's a short term ouch to get rid of a long term one. Hurrah for a date at last!

Northey · 17/07/2012 23:21

Poor old ancient havealittlefaithcrone. You're still pretty much the baby here, which can be a consolation. Apart from bugs, I think.

KickTheGuru · 17/07/2012 23:33

Right I think I've done the questionnaire

Do I post it on that thread or this one?

I am desperate to below to something Grin

KickTheGuru · 17/07/2012 23:35

Belong rather

Never as interesting if you have to explain

sinkingflameofhilarity · 17/07/2012 23:43

Post it here, we'll shamelessly judge you based on your responses.

but, to my knowledge, we've not refused anyone yet

Northey · 17/07/2012 23:45

Apparently someone was refused once, well before my time. But that almost definitely wouldn't happen here. Oh no.

  1. Do you like gin?

I like any kind of alcohol. My health is dictated by how much I can drink. Recently, my diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetic has meant that I need to sneak alcohol on the side because it can actually kill me. Oh well.

  1. Men - are you a gold digger or a cradle snatching cougar?

Gold digger for sure. But he married me for the visa so we're square
^ Just in case someone from Border Control reads this, that was a joke^

  1. Baybee-making - to put a baybee in your tumtum, which hole do you use: a) weewee b) poopoo c) foofoo d) none, you just pray to the baby Jebus.

I am prepared to try all fucking four of them if it gets the baybee in my tumtum. Foofoo hasn't worked as yet. And I am atheist (explains why I am not pregnant and have aforementioned Type 1 Diabetes)

  1. Testing - when someone wonders if they should test for updiff (pg), do you: a) bellow 'POAS!' at them non-stop and punch them repeatedly in the kidneys till they wet themselves anyway. b) Sprinkle them with babydust and send them hugs and kisses on lickle baby angel wings.

I am (c) - practically asking them if they are honestly going to test at 9DPO and get a positive? I then actively sprout out medical statistics about how there are NO SYMPTOMS and spend the next week dodging falling shit.
And I am probably going to get into (more) shit but whenever someone says "babydust", I want to (a) buy them some more IQ points and (b) vomit over something pink and fluffy.

  1. Is R2D2: a) an adorable robot from Star Wars. b) the source of all evil.

a) I wouldnt' say "adorable". Stuey off Family Guy is "adorable"

  1. what colour are your walls?

White. But I have conveniently decided that the rest of my house is black and red because I am Japanese at heart.

  1. Number of pets?

I had two dogs but then I got rid of them and got married instead.

  1. Inappropriate (read: weird) crush of shame?

Hmmmm. Matthew Whathisname...

  1. Lesbian crush?

Sandra Bullock. Or erm...Kate Hudson

  1. What are your views on camping?

I love camping. But I like luxury camping where you take a blow up mattress and lights...

  1. How much money have you spent on sticks you then urinate on?

i) Oh nothing, I'll probably catch first time and then get the doctor to confirm it.
ii) Over 100 quid
iii) I opened an account on ebay solely for the purpose of purchasing sticks

I have no idea. I ran out of patience with the bastards and bought a bunch about 4 months ago last and haven't used them. I also bought fertility tests for me and my pet (see point 7) but we've not used any of them (mainly due to random health fuck up 5 weeks ago).

I haven't caught it first time around as yet. And the best is that my gynae has done all the checks and there are no reasons for me NOT to fall pregnant. Apart from obviously...I've NOT fallen pregnant yet.

blonderthanred · 18/07/2012 01:12

McFadyen? Or the American one?

AlpinePony · 18/07/2012 05:57

Am laughing at "spiritually Japanese" - I love a bit of red & black, have an affinity for mountains and like fishing - I think I too am Japanese.

Someone was kicked out for being TTC#16 or something.

I am old ESH from the beginnings of time (2009).

CaveMum · 18/07/2012 07:22

I approve of the fresh blood. Your answer to question 4 shows you are a true BESH - baybee dust is strictly vorboden in BESH-Land Grin

Mornin.

Matthew Mcconaughay surely? Mmmmm.

KickTheGuru · 18/07/2012 09:13

Yes Matthew McWhoseNameIcan'tSpellAndIdon'twanttogoogleit

Yay on approval!

HaveALittleFaith · 18/07/2012 09:35

Mmm with that sexy Southern accent. Why we were only saying on Saturday at the wedding would you? about him. Mine was a definite yes!

I am liking your answers! I too have a thing for Sandra Bullock :) before your pancreas went Squiffy how long had you been trying to win a baybee for? When can you try again? (R2D2 is the 'droid' or what we call AF btw so it's bad. Supremely evil).

norf I will be asleep for the cystoscopy so I am not too bovvered. I'm so tired today - tried taking drowsy antihistamines. Hay fever is good. Sleepiness is baaaaaad. Will take a half tonight.

KickTheGuru · 18/07/2012 09:41

Yep that Southern drawl. And those muccles. Noice!

We've been trying nearly a year. By the time we will be allowed to TTC again, it will probably be well over a year. I am pushing for them to put me on fertility drugs. I hope we have an octopus.

Glad I said R2D2 isn't adorable then. Stupid bane of all my troubles now.

I am 6 days late today. This is NOT a good thing. Even while my body was crashing, I managed being 3 days late and then having some R2D2 lovin'.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/07/2012 11:29

Thirty is no age Think yourself lucky, oh yes.

Dildocam was ok. MrA seemed to be able to see more than I could - he was fascinated.

KickTheGuru · 18/07/2012 11:47

Ahem...

Splutters

Dildocam?!!! Oh DO explain!!!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/07/2012 12:55

You know. When they shove a ultrasound thingy up your fanjo.

InTheSunshine · 18/07/2012 12:58

Oh fuck. Reading this has made me realise I am going to be 36 soon. Thirty-fucking-six and no sign of winning a baybee.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/07/2012 13:09

Don't look at me for sympathy SunnyD. I will give you some empathy though. I have been in and around these parts - ok, so not much lately - since I was thirtyfuckingfour and now I am thirtyfuckingseven! 37! 37! 37! .

I wonder if John Barrowman could win me a baybee? I did shag him last night after all ok he's gay and it was in my dreams but still.

Sorry for thread creash. As you were.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 18/07/2012 13:13

When I said "sympathy" I meant purely on the age thing of course. I have obviouly a lot of sympathy for fellow-barrens Grin

HaveALittleFaith · 18/07/2012 13:13

Yup. Looks like a dildo but sounds back pictures of your ovaries. Not horrendous, just a little uncomfortable.

Always nice to get a ray of sunshine! Are you saving the pennies at the moment?

FriendofDorothy · 18/07/2012 13:15

I am 36. There is still hope.

MadameBoolala · 18/07/2012 13:16

Oh screw the lot of you, I'm 40 next month.

MadameBoolala · 18/07/2012 13:16
