Its true, NGCECOAWT, so the BESH move on.

Join us in spooky October, for a different sort of Pagen fun. Sod the lentil weaving and organic bean bags, we're channelling pointy black hats, green tinged foundation and probably a bit of Harry Potter.

Join us for cursing of the insta-diffs, moments of pure love and the horrors of the cam of the fanjo - post the Beshtionnaire and the coven will judge you.

This is not a woo thread (TINAWT)

Hello everyone. I am Away. That's why I'm not here.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 06/10/2012 15:16

Babydust in mind is what happens when a nuclear bomb lands on an orphanage.

Too much?

Northey · 06/10/2012 16:02

Oh good. I was worried the coldness of your house and sadness of your heart from the other day had got you. Or the mingingness of your eye.

Hi raspberryberet. Just maintain an appropriate level of irritable outrage at people starting threads about "experiencing a money of pure love" and you'll be fine. What's your story in general?

Also, does anyone actually know the point of the wall colour question, or is it too far lost in the mists of time?

WinklyFriedChicken · 06/10/2012 16:02

Is babydust not when their dried in vomit starts flaking off?

Northey · 06/10/2012 16:03

A moment of pure love. Not a money. Though I am very amused by the idea of a money-shot of pure love. That would have showed her.

HaveALittleFaith · 06/10/2012 16:09

We tried to get rid of the wall question when we revamped the BESHtionnaire but it depends which one they copy and paste. I was told I was 'too nice' when I put it at the start of the Fred.

Who said about ground up baybees? Was it drizz?

evilgiraffe · 06/10/2012 16:20

There's a revamped version? I copy and pasted from one posted in early September, which I thought was probably recent enough. What other questions were there? I'm intrigued.

ThisWitchSinks · 06/10/2012 16:27

Oh, revamped a while back (to my knowledge, but I'm still a relative BESH newby type).

I fink it might have been me that told faife she was being too nice.. Obviously all in preparation for being a cackling hag for this fred.

And yes: baby dust =ground up baby.

So, been to the needle man (that was a surprise, don't know why). All v relaxing. Apparently my pulse, tongue and complexion tells him I'm too stressed and try and do everything too fast. Couldn't really argue with that one..

Now have a bag of herbs to take twice a day. They smell funny.

Northey · 06/10/2012 16:28

You are too nice, faif! It's a measure of your extreme loveliness that I don't even mind.

Northey · 06/10/2012 16:29

Did it hurt, winkle? Do you feel, umm, more fertile?

raspberrytipple · 06/10/2012 16:33

Well I never thought I could feel like an innocent little thing but I do now Grin

I will work on formatting but I'm afraid it's not my strong point although I can manage emoticons. I'm also definitely not one for spreading baby dust.

My rather unexciting story is that we starting 3 years and 4 months ago with concerted efforts being made for at least the last two years. When I say concerted effort I'm sure you know I mean peeing on anything that moves to predict Ov, checking pant snot and screaming down the house in excitement when I get a little egg appear on my CBFM. However, the bitch that bleeds always turns up so 6 months ago I had a lap & dye which took away a bit of Endo and an ovary stuck to my womb, all else hunky dory. After all that, still not a sniff so our follow up appointment is in 9 days :) at which point the consultant had said we can be referred for IVF. I had a letter come through from the hospital this morning and burst into tears thinking the appointment had been put back so I burst into tears but then opened it and it was a reminder. So then I cried because I felt like a dick for crying. My MATV (meat and two veg seeing as he has to have another name - is that the right sort of thing?) thinks I'm bonkers beyond retrieval .

p.s. moment of pure love? If that's a reference to a thread here a while ago - i nearly puked. Even MATV gawked.... then said something very rude Blush

HaveALittleFaith · 06/10/2012 16:34

But I am still a true ESH because when my house burned down, the main thing I mourned the loss of was the brand new bottle of gin Grin

I'm not sure what adaptations we added, we definitely added a 'Pliz to explain how you found the BESH and how long you have been trying to win a baybee'. I will hunt for it.

Glad the needles were good sink!

HaveALittleFaith · 06/10/2012 16:39

Finally, tell us how you found the BESH and why you'd like to join us pliz.

(Tis on the pirate Fred, if I am being sooper naice I must suggest they look for the BESH pearl -argh!).

ThisWitchSinks · 06/10/2012 16:45

Tis true faife. You are a true BESH. You have to stick around, even diffed to let some of your niceness rub off on the rest of us Wink

I like MATV a lot rasp. His name, although I'm sure he's lovely too. Appointment sounds v exciting- Im in a similar position, although with PCOS rather than unexplained (that's right? Or are they blaming the endo?). But 6 months on am still waiting for an appointment to tell me if ivf is the next step for me or not. Hence the needles as a means of distraction.

Not feeling overly fertile Norf, but very relaxed. Didn't hurt at all. Weird really. A gentle knock which was him tapping the needles in, and that's it. I got a warm feeling around some of them, which is apparently a sign theyre doing good (?) and then I was left to sleep relax under a heat lamp for a while. Whole appointment was 90 min, so god knows how long I relaxed for...

I have my smelly herbs, then another appointment next week.

WinklyFriedChicken · 06/10/2012 17:43

sinky your needling sounds quite pleasant! The baybee shower was actually worse than I thought, I was the only childless one there and I was just completely irrelevant. I feel like shit :(

WinklyFriedChicken · 06/10/2012 17:46

I was asked "are you still working full time?" with a proper Shock look

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 06/10/2012 17:48

Working back - not got to page 11 yet Wink

YAY for wine euro. We had some too. I am officially still a lightweight (feeling hangover after two glasses of wine Hmm is wrong, I think). Well done on chicken stew winkly. How did the shower go? And good on you not actually being horrible.

Well draff we'll comment on Clarkson vs Paxman later Wink. But you're in.

The (Fri)day sounds good and wholesome, norf. Hope you're in Wales by now with fabulous diving HCG scores, but am sure I'll find it.

Faif snap re: waiting for stuff to change. That was me waiting for SB and pubbage. But I have only just come on MN today. Will tell all about my adventures in a minute.

Oh and FRESH blood and perving on the Saturday morning, exciting stuff!

FriendofDorothy · 06/10/2012 17:49

I used to go straight to sleep as soon as she put the needles in!

I have spent the afternoon with my sister and get two kids a d my niece is the grumpiest little cow on the face of the planet. I know she isn't well but she is so bloody whiny!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 06/10/2012 17:54

Well done on the needles sinky they sounds rather pleasant more than my counseling, I did my home work and used up a pack of tissues, incidentally Keeping stuff crossed for appointments coming through.

And Hmm at the working full time comment and feeling like a spare part, winkly but very well done on surviving.

Welcome rasberry just a shameful crush and you're properly in.

And yes, faif is too nice, which is why I like her even if she was my cluster-differ. But why you want to play seems a fair enough question.

YAY for fresh blood though. Dinner needing attention. Will be right back Wink

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 06/10/2012 18:01

As for me, I had a really lovely day, despite a slightly hangover start. A bit of exercise, healthy (fish) shopping at the market, the lunch with the diffed after MC friend, which was really, really nice. My horrid homework, which was less bad than I feared, a cuddle with nephew, who is too big for cuddles and just wants to climb things and now cooking tea :)

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 06/10/2012 18:02

:( for whiny niece. Hopefully yours will be cheerier, dot! How long to go now?

FriendofDorothy · 06/10/2012 18:07

10 weeks tomorrow! Time is going really fast now!

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 06/10/2012 18:10

Wow, that is unbelievable. Does time speed up after all the checks? It feels like not that long ago you had your win!

FriendofDorothy · 06/10/2012 18:22

I think time has sped up since I started concentrating on the house not the baby!

Northey · 06/10/2012 18:24

How old are you rasper? 3 years 4 months would knock the frolic out of anyone. You are most welcome here. Yes, the pure love thing was that silly woman from a while ago. Did you see the end? She was bloody diffed, obviously, and found out in the airport on the way to her honeymoon or something. (couldn't read it firsthand without smashing up phones and laptops, so someone had to tell me, hence my bitter vagueness)

lemon, I am so impressed you got through that homework. I can't even think how I would bring myself to start. Are you glad you did it?

Well done for baby shower hideousness, winkle. It sounds awful, and you are a saint for lasting the distance.
