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!

Good Luck for this morning bugs

faif good to see that you are being taken seriously and they are going to investigate properly.

I have knackered my right shoulder. Can't follow my usual regime of ibru/ice pack so i'm going to have to see my GP for advice on how to deal with it. My arm is really quite weak as a result and it's making it very difficult to do even simple things like put on the kettle or stir soup while heating it.

Faith, is it possible that this infection could be stopping you from getting diffed? If your body is trying to fight off an infection, it may not be able to concentrate on diffage, particularly if the problem is in the plumbing department.

Norf, we are a superstitious bunch in the racing world. It usually boils down to lucky clothing, routines, etc. no spells or anything like that

BTW, and I know you lot will enjoy laughing at my Frankel obsession, but I've managed to tag myself on to a private visit to his trainer's yard next month, so I'm hoping for the opportunity of lots of photos. Won't get within touching distance though, he's just been valued at £100,000,000 and is under 24 hour CCTV. Plus, he bites

Argh post eaten. In summary, it's not an infection as such cave but it's definitely limited the efforts to TTC. I keep thinking its x cycles since MSB was treated but 2 of those I was out of action! I need to relax about things I know.

Beware of the biting stallion! Exciting to see him close up though yes?!

Still, can't be good for TTC either way, Faithey

Yup, seeing Frankel is tres exciting [ignores fact she'll be there with 20-odd other people] Its hard to explain to non-racing people, but put simply he's one of, if not the, best racehorse to have ever lived
That's not just my opinion, there are groups of people across the world whose job it is to assess each horse and give it a rating. The current highest rating is for a horse called Sea-Bird who raced in the 1960s and was rated 145. Frankel has been given a provisional rating this year (final rating at the end of the year) of 147!

I'm a little bit scared of horses. They are so big. How many hands is Frankel?

Yay for the slug with a heartbeat! You must be so relieved.

Oh hallelujah!!! I am so pleased for you bugs

Hurrah for the slug with a heartbeat well done Bugs

Rollo, he's 16hh 1/2", or 163.8cm.

He has his own website now here

It just reminds me of how awful it was when I started bleeding at 7 weeks. Horrid.

So happy for you bugs

Delighted to hear your news bugs. Will post more when I'm not so manic at work!

Yay for being diffed bugs!!!

Hurrah! Just checked in to see if you had any news and so glad it's good news! PMA and healthy eating are def the way to go.

Yay! It's bugs to win by a slug-shaped nose!

Fucking amazing news! So happy. Mine looked like a witchety grub so I know exactly what you mean. What an amazing feeling. So so happy for you.

Ok finished my run of meetings! bugs it's awesome news. All you need to do now is hang on to the knowledge that a. You're definitely diffed b. that baybee has an Ickle heartbeat. Hopefully now you're armed with that knowledge you can maintain a positive stance?

I'm not too bad droid wise but have been told I look 'heavy lidded' and feel spaced out! reckon I'll call it a day at work and get some food in (or it'll be burgers again) and chill tonight :)

Mmmmm burgers...

Keep up with the mantra "Today I am pregnant"!!
