Morning Bearded Ladies. I have massive hair on my head, it's a bugger to tame. And without regular waxing I'd have a monobrow. My good friend has PCOS and has been having electrolys on her chin, cheeks & lip. It's had an amazing affect, both physically & mentally.

HaveALittleFaith · 31/08/2012 09:03

I have 4 weekly eyebrow waxing - they have a mind of their own!

eurochick · 31/08/2012 09:14

I'm another PCOS hairy person. Or at least I was. I did try electrolysis a couple of times about 20 years ago when my chin hairs first appeared, but it is lazerbeams of which I am a big fan. I've had loads done - chin, nips, belly line (see, I was a proper PCOS yeti), thighs and bikini line. I will go back and get lower legs, lower arms and that little patch at the bottom of my back done. The only bit I'm planning on continuing to shave is my underarms because of all the breast cancer in my family and the fact that I have this hippy theory that the hair is a way to get the toxins out in that area. The lasering is brilliant. 6-8 treatments (depending on area) and you are done. Ta-dah. Hardly any regrowth, ever. It's brilliant. It did amazing things for my confidence.

Thanks euro you have reminded me of persistent nip-hairs. I tweezer those, too. But haven't in a while. And I find my boobs scary to look at now, so there might be a forest. And I won't discuss my bikini-line. So there.

norf I got rather fetching yellow tweezers from Spain once, those are the easily identifiable forrin ones Wink

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 31/08/2012 09:27

But does the lasering not HURT? And I am pale with all those dark hairs, very fetching so doesn't it burn?

eurochick · 31/08/2012 10:24

Pale with dark hairs makes you a perfect candidate for lasering, apparently (I'm the same). The bigger the contract between skin and hair colour the better.

It does hurt a bit. It feels like an elastic band being twanged against your skin. But then waxing hurts too. And you only have to have this done 6-8 times rather than every 6 weeks or whatever forever.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 31/08/2012 10:47

Morning yetis.

I am blondely hairy. I generally leave the lega to go fallow unless It's hot i.e never. Lucky in that regard. I have other recessive Gene complaints though - dead white skin, allergic to many things, excema, hay deber, general itchy srt skin. The usual!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 31/08/2012 10:47

Sorry. Stooopid phone.

eurochick · 31/08/2012 12:15

Are you sure you weren't just drunk before 11am rie?

Well, Droidal invasion is here. At least there is chocolate. Meh. On to cycle 23. That's 21 out of 22 cycles of perfectly-timed sh@gging with no baby (the 1/22 was my post IVF drucks anovulatory cycle when there was no chance of sperm meeting non-existant egg). How is that possible???

Northey · 31/08/2012 16:00

Bugger, euro. What a stinking pile of cock this all is.

HaveALittleFaith · 31/08/2012 17:37

Arse biscuits euro.

earlie in the morning

eurochick · 31/08/2012 17:49

Indeed. And it clearly means that this preggo-style belly is all flab rather than part baby (I was clinging on to that hope). @rse biscuits indeed.

The diet starts as soon as I am back from this biz trip in a week.

Northey · 31/08/2012 20:11

Poor euro. Bastard hope.

I too am carrying a preggo style belly

Northey · 31/08/2012 20:12

... except in my case it looks more how I would imagine a post partum belly would look - all foul and droopy and practically begging for an apronectomy.

FrankelSaysRelax · 01/09/2012 12:03

Morning BESHes [wafts burning sage around the room]

Did we all have too much peapod burgundy last night and sleep in late?

Well, I told my boss and one of my work colleagues about our TTC woes yesterday, cue lots more tears - honestly I've never cried as much as over the last few days. They were both lovely and said I have to put myself first and that there would be no problems with me disappearing for appointments, etc.

I've got to tell my other colleague on Monday and then it's done and out in the open.

Is it for promotion/career change/anything exciting, bugs?

By the way, the epilator pain definitely goes after a while, if you persevere.

eurochick · 01/09/2012 15:57

My world northern european tour is continuing. Another week, another city. Another day of absolutely minging Droid. This one is quite nasty (prolly cos of the stress and caffeine and booze). I've tried drugs and a warm bath and nothing is helping. I have a work meeting in half an hour downstairs and I feel like I am going to puke and can't stand up straight.... I plan to do a lot of delegating of everything.

Evening Hags. How are we all?

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 02/09/2012 18:29

Evening Jeffers. Not too bad. You?

FriendofDorothy · 02/09/2012 18:39

Feeling perky thanks. Yourself? Well I hope.

HaveALittleFaith · 02/09/2012 18:57

Blardy knackered after a round trip to see the outlaws near Manchester in one day! MSB is running a bath (lush) for me though.

norf how you feeling? Everyone else?

eurochick · 02/09/2012 20:02

You've all been off having fun doing hippy dippy shyte haven't you? Bstds.

I am flipping shattered. Waiting for my room service dinner. I bet they balls it up. I cannot abide mayo (it is the devil's jism). I am in the Netherlands, the land of mayonnaise. I have requested a club sandwich without mayo. How do you rate my chances?

HaveALittleFaith · 02/09/2012 20:53

Slim to none eurostar!

I've only been for a Sunday roast and said goodbye to a house. Not a very nice house at that (no double glazing do either freezing or boiling hot). I did have a bath with aromatherapy bath foam though how's the b'tard droid going?
