The BESH Fillies Are Under Starters Orders

[CaveMum]

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!

You'd be surprised

Task 3 also foiled by technology and everyone and their dog being on holidays.

Onto taks 4/4 that I have tried to avoid most of today. But back outside first. As I had to call lots of people, I went back in...

Scary stuff.

Took me virtually all afternoon to clean the windows. There are 4 of them

Now onto the washing though. At least I am doing this thoroughly... (I wonder if my DH would believe that?)

15 mins til I can escape! Plan to pop and see Dad and DNephew and then a walk later when it's a bit cooler.

I had German measles when I was about 9. It was great - I was spotty and obviously contagious but didn't feel particularly ill :)

I am still spotting! Need to droid/Druid to naff off now!

I do think following evidence is better than being dusted in baby fluffiness!

On the balcony, sort of working. Just hope pg-downstairs neighbour does not come in soon, because I have noticed but not congratulated yet. And I do like her, just not her diffage, so cannot put that off forever.

Evening programme sounds good faif. I ran this morning and discovered it was still really hot at ridiculously early hours. So take it easy or make it a late one!

PS Sorry work is so shit!

Ah, the gritted teeth congratulations is never fun but perhaps best to get it over and done with?

Work wasn't too bad today to be fair, just very hot!

Afternoon all. No spotting today (CD11) do an presuming yesterday was left over sludge (vom)

Big fat boo and hiss, I've just been told that we are forbidden to take photos of Frankel tomorrow during the stable visit I suspect it is for security reasons - he's got 24/7 CCTV trained on his box and as he's been valued at £100million I guess they don't want to chance it with photographs appearing online and potentially revealing any security lapses.

Oh well, at least I'll see him in the flesh. Definitely no touching allowed though. He's a bit of a bad tempered boyo by all accounts!

Gritted teeth congratulations - the longer I am here, the less I congratulate. I now avoid!!

Shew that's a lot for a Frankel! I guess potentially flashes as well could give him a scare and he could damage himself? Lots of money down the toooobes if he breaks a leg?

I also hope it is a horse and not a hamster in a box coz that would be a VERY expensive hamster and I really hope it can do tricks!

I'm so childish. I sniggered about him having CCTV trained on his box. I suspect they will do the same for some of the athletes at the Olympics. Snarf.

Definitely a horse, not a hamster Kick

I forgot you're new to the fred so need to be edumacated about my Frankel obsession

You can read all about him on his very own website I could watch his race videos all day long [nerd]

Oh cavey. Bet that website's bookmarked, isn't it ?!

Don't know what you mean Faith

So cave, how much Frankle merchandise have you got?

Will you be decked out in Frankel paraphernalia when you visit?!

I currently have none, though my Book of Face profile page has lots of pictures from the racecourse!

I shall attempt to be casual, I'm going with a group of about 20 others so will have to try and avoid yelling "ssqqquuueeeeeee!" when I see him

I would love you to go, bedecked in horsey glory- think Frankle t-shirt, cycling helmet with some fabric tucked over it, a whip

Currently sat on sofa crying about all the sad stories of people carrying the Olympic torch. Crazy shit. Must be nearing ov for that degree of mental.

Sinky, I was watching that. I had tears in my eyes when PC Rathband's daughter ran, and when she said she wanted to run blindfolded for her dad I sobbed

It was the soldier with no legs and a brain injury that got me. Looked just like my friends husband, who's in the marines.

And the really proud mum and dad of the man with downs from Shetland...

Actually, I'm welling up again thinking about it.

What has happened to me? I think my gins been spiked with baybee dust and sparkles.

I think cavey should go in a t-shirt that says 'Frankel says relax'

Didn't see the tv thing, been for a 6.5k walk in honour if project BMI baybee! :)

Brilliant! Cavey should register that as a username right now!

[twirls]

Like this you mean?!

grin] love it.

FSR - Now that's just happy making

Combined genius of the BESH :)

I've just baked fairy cakes for our team meeting tomorrow. House smells yummy. Getting a bit late so I might ice them early tomorrow, they're just cooling off. It's in honour of the last meeting before all the doctors change and we've had a really good lot this time. I shall miss them!
