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)

Top tip - don't fall in Grin

ThisWitchSinks · 13/10/2012 14:56

Commiserations. I rowed a little at uni, but I never really got comfortable on those damn boats which were approximately only 1mm wider than my arse cheeks. Not that I admitted it at the time. It just wasn't the "challenge" I was looking for....

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 13/10/2012 15:07

It's alright. I was just so cold and damp that I had to go and get changed. And then I still needed exercise. But hey, now I am a little confused by the appearance of pinkish blood. I suppose that is the droidal messengers this month. Usually they're brown, but I can take pink. We went to bed and to comfort me, so it might also have been the over vigorousness of that which lead to bleeding... Womble not happy though. Nor it the head (achy due to last night's wine and too little water post-run).

evilgiraffe · 13/10/2012 15:49

Oh dear, falling in rivers sounds hilarious horrible. Hope you're all warm and dry now!

Fecking droid is running at speed today, it makes no sense and is a big mess (mind you no deluding myself I'm diffed this way). Although I'd rather have three days of flooding than a fortnight of drizzle, IYSWIM.

TMI isn't an issue on this thread, right? Sorry, I'm used to posting in the TSA threads over on adult fiction, where we're obscenely graphic about everything used to oversharing. Oh! And now I'm in TWO quiches, how exciting! Shock Grin

WinklyFriedChicken · 13/10/2012 15:56

I've not got an ishoo with sharing draf so carry on :)

I ought to go for a run really, although my right calf is really sore. Genuine reason not to go, or feeble excuse? I ought to attempt to seduce Husband as well, but am a bit miffed that he's not made any moves yesterday or today and don't know if I could be arsed, even if I do need to, to be in with a chance of a win this month.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 13/10/2012 16:33

Go on, just do a short one winkly. And thanks for sharing the exact speed of bleeding, draff. IMO there is no such thing as oversharing, providing you don't start talking about pure lurve or baby dust Wink

WinklyFriedChicken · 13/10/2012 16:36

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

ThisWitchSinks · 13/10/2012 16:39

Shall I scatter some pure lurve dust on your calf winkly?

evilgiraffe · 13/10/2012 16:43

Okay, I can do that. I shall only mention baby dust in the context of ground-up babymince to add to the cauldron.

I went and searched out the pure lurve thread just for shits and giggles. I LOVED your responses, it was hilarious Grin

WinklyFriedChicken · 13/10/2012 16:48

Erm sinky your lurve dust suddenly looks like massive fucking hailstones

ThisWitchSinks · 13/10/2012 16:52

What can I say? There's a whole lotta pure lurve blowing around.

Have just read back on fred and seen the merengue chatter

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 13/10/2012 16:58

The merengue chat actually made me wretch - does that mean I am diffed? Or just a sensitive soul? (Or did I contract something horrible in the river?)

I am happily stirring a cauldron full of pure hate to throw over the evil SIL who I might see tomorrow at SB's gran's birthday maybe I can borrow some dust, because it seems apt. I shall kill her and/or leave the room if she says anything resembling her usual insensitive self tomorrow.

ThisWitchSinks · 13/10/2012 17:10

Go on. Plan to make a scene. I love planning my sparkling comeback which never actually gets said

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 13/10/2012 17:16

Maybe I should wear my witches hat and plan wittiness. Sadly, as I am getting PMTty I'll probably just cry. So that would be great. SB hasn't mentioned the MC or the bitch's behaviour to his parents, so they won't understand if I am more hysterical than usual. Oh well.

WinklyFriedChicken · 13/10/2012 17:42

Aw driz perhaps she'll contract the norovirus overnight & not come?

WinklyFriedChicken · 13/10/2012 18:48

Huh. Broke fred. Norovirus spell too mean?

eurowitch · 13/10/2012 19:32

drizz good effort on getting out on the water (in fact in it) in October.

Draf I cannot believe some of the stuff I have overshared on here. Knock yourself out.

I am staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarving. KFZK is in the kitchen making home made chish and fips. Mmmmm. We were out all afternoon at the Create Open Day. We have booked a consultation for December, with a view to starting in Jan/Feb. KFZK was a bit cynical about then (he's cynical about everything) but I quite liked them. They said what I wanted to hear anyway - no downregging, light drugs.

I skipped my run today. I'm not convinced that the knee I banjaxed last weekend is strong enough to run on yet. But I might test it on a short run tomorrrow. I'm never going to lose weight without some cardio.

evilgiraffe · 14/10/2012 07:30

Arrgh, I feel sick again. Ridiculous. My innards can just fuck right off.

I'm feeling very proud of myself today - I did not cry last night. My very dear friend was telling me all about her 20 week scan and how excited her husband is, all lovey dovey "look what we made" etc. I was speechless that she'd tell me that, but as I say no tears. I'm wondering if I'm a bit dead inside actually.

ThisWitchSinks · 14/10/2012 08:52

Not dead inside draff, just the necessary to survive. At my best, I can listen and respond to stuff like that. I can coo over babies. Inside I know it should hurt, and it does, but you can examine that hurt and not really let it touch you at that point.

Does that make any sense? What my moods are proper crazy, I get quite pronounced derealisation, when I feel I'm observing life and myself rather than actively participating. I means i can cope with stressful situations at work, and I think, cope with stressfull baby situations.

Anyway, it's too early and I've not had my morning tea yet.

And. Finally. "look what we made"? No one would have blamed you for vomiting there and then. On the scan photo if at all possible.

HaveALittleFaith · 14/10/2012 09:17

graf I think when you try as long as any of the BESH have to win a baybee, there's a certain amount of numbing goes on. There's only so many times your heart can break before you build yourself a protective wall. I didn't realise how much it was affecting us both til I finally got diffed.

I iz enjoying your stories of antics like falling into water :) exciting weekend.

We had a scary day yesterday. We'd taken the camper to MSB's Nan's. driving back she overheated (camper, not the Nan) so we stopped to let her cool. I went for a wee and was spotting Confused The bloody camper continued to overheat so we were stuck an hour from home! My wonderful sister collected me while MSB waited for the AA (thank goodness we're covered by the bank account). Anyways, we all got back ok. OOH doc diagnosed yet another UTI and started me on antibiotics and the spotting has stopped. Think they will move my scan forward from Wednesday though. Camper has not faired so well - looks like she needs a new head gasket! Scary day but put the other side now :)

raspberrytipple · 14/10/2012 10:59

Evil you aren't dead inside, I'm with Witch on this one. And you dealt with it very respectfully, I probably would have been speechless to. Or slapped her Grin

faith horrible day for you! Glad you are ok. Do you think you might have a scan tomorrow then?

Hope Granny's birthday goes ok today lemon with your wonderfully insensitive bitch SIL!

I am going to have another lazy day I think, bit of washing/cleaning and shopping. Droid is hurting a bit but is not horrendous, just heavy and bloated. I've managed to drink my whole tea/coffee allowance for the day before 1030 a.m. Just to wake up after drinking wine last night. Bad raspberry -slaps wrists-

evilgiraffe · 14/10/2012 10:59

Thanks guys. A numb sort of detachment is exactly right. The thing is, her H saying about how lovely and amazing it is is perfectly reasonable and understandable, but I really didn't need to know.

Sounds like an eventful day, faith! Glad you're okay and it's something simple to deal with.

JethroTull · 14/10/2012 13:28

Faif sorry to hear about your shitty day. I saw the PESH thread on active convos so had a read. Sounds like you're coping admirably but have the Cod of Comfort just to be sure Grin

Driz I had to kayak last year as part of challenge weekend at work, I could only get the damn thing to go round & round in a circle. Then I fell in. Brilliant.

I don't really get too bothered by other people's babies / diffment anouncements, especilally not friends. But I did have a complete overreaction to Fearne Cotton being pregnant. I was furious. Unreasonable? I don't know but it irritated me beyone belief. I know what you mean though about 'dead inside' - I think that's why I'm all over the place at the moment, because I haven't allowed myself to believe that we would even get to the having IVF stage.

JethroTull · 14/10/2012 13:30

*especially even. Fat fingers.

HaveALittleFaith · 14/10/2012 13:47

Thanks all! Yes I think EPAU will ring me and get me in for a scan. Regardless it's my scan date Wednesday so not long now either way! It's all settled down now so I'm fairly confident the antibiotics are doing their job.

Eurgh sleb baybee wins make me want to puke. That one from Atomic Kitten, Jenny Frost is diffed with twins. I got annoyed when I heard that. RL announcements vary depending on the person and how they announce them. One friend texted saying DC1 has just learnt to say baby, which is good because DC2 is due in November Envy We had been TTC 5 months when she announced her first diffment Hmm

I dislike canoes. I tried to have a go in the sea and the tide swept one over my foot. Mega ouchy graze. Then I tried again and capsized in a lake in September. No luff for canoes here.
