Round up your ghosties and ghoulies and long legged beasties, the BESH are going to scare out the BFPs!

[sinkyroselee]

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)

Yes, but all my swimming stuff is in Wales! And frankly I think I need a slightly more hardcore exercise to start to shift this weight (my swimming is not really the torpedo-like zooming of my dreams...)

Ah a flaw in the plan! Well it seems the rain should ease by this afternoon so maybe you can go later?

Yes, or maybe a long walk or something.

But first I am going to get up and have a biscuit.

Well done on sending the email Norf and good luck for the scan, and interview, Faith.

I've been very lazy on the exercise front. I've got the 30 Day Shred DVD and use it in fits and starts. Thing is, when I'm doing it I really feel the difference and feel good, but once I've lapsed it is very hard to motivate myself out of my bed half an hour early to get it done. I really should get back into it though, I can feel some of my clothing starting to tighten

Frankel that tiny prick would be enough to send me into a tizz!

Good luck at scans and interviews everyone. Well done on sending the email Norf.

I was wondering about these scan pics. Do you think it would be in terribly bad form to text a picture of a colonoscopy and say "And look, here is a picture of my internal organs and their contents in return!"

Hahahaha! Oh please please do!

FSR I think the bleeding is entirely random - based on whether or not you hit a little capillary that is not visible on the surface. I bled about half the time and had not a drop the other half.

What equipment do you need for the 30 day Shred? I bought the DVD to use when I was away for business loads a few weeks back cos I thought I could use it in my room, but ended up in hotels with gyms so it didn't even make it out of the box.

faif how was scannage?

Rie that would be hilarious! BTW, when I was preparing for my colposcopy in the summer I think I was marvelling on this thread how much the cervix looks like a pen1s! It really does!

I am feeling rather happy this morning as we have finally booked a holiday. Yippee. Winter sun in the blissful Maldives. I'm really happy that we finally managed to book something. A few days ago we managed to decide on something and planned to book it the next morning, only to find there was no availability left, so we had to start all over again! But we have booked something now that looks fantastic.

I am looking at booking a winter holiday. I don't want to go to the Maldives. I want to go to Norfolk

Hello all. Had interview. Twas ok - answered all the questions. Really don't think I'll get it but I'm not bothered! Scan is this afternoon, will come back and tell all I promise :)

rie you dirrty mermaid!

euro I have always wanted to go to the Maldives, am very Fancied it for our honeymoon but we were a bit skint and chose to start married life with no debt rather than the fancy honeymoon. Maybe for our 10 year anniversary?!

Norfolk has the distinct benefit of not needing to spend 11 hrs scrunched up in an economy class seat in a flying tube to get there.

I have 1000s of airmiles (from all the biz travel). I just tried to use them to upgrade. No airmiles upgrades are available on that flight. I have 1000s of airmiles BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO REDEEM A SINGLE ONE.

Euro you only need a set of weights for Da Shred, and maybe a mat if the floor is hard. Lots of people seem to use tins/bottles of water as weight substitutes. I have a small set of weights, I usually start off with my 0.5kg weights and after a week or so get out the 1.5kg monsters . I appear to have lost my 1kg set

In other news, Frankel's little brother Morpheus has his racecourse debut in the 1.40 at Nottingham this afternoon [excited]

I want a winter holiday in Vienna, to drink hot chocolate and look enchanting with snowfkakes on my eyelashes and my hands in a furry muff.

I will probably end up in Norfolk too.

If you all end up in Norfolk I'll join you for a drinky-poo. I'm on the Suffolk/Cambs border

Oh yes, and a big fat "Ooo Matron!" @ "hands in a furry muff"

How did Morpheus do?

norfy I went to Vienna in January for my 30th many years ago . There's quite a lot to see and do but bloody hell was it cold. -14 when we were there. As it was a surprise, I wasn't well-equipped and had to wear KFZK's baggy in all the wrong places long johns under my jeans.

I'd never go back. It was just too cold.

I do have an amusing to me Vienna anecdote though. We went to visit a place called the Fool's Tower. It was a very eerie place where medical experiements were conducted (we found out after we went that the nazis had used it for eugenics stuff ). Anyway, there is a section where they are showing models of various diseases. There was one where I couldn't work out which part of the body was displayed, so I asked KFZK loudly, what it was. Apparently it was a fanny. A syphiliptic fanny. Oops. In my defence, I had never seen one from that angle before (it was the gynaecologist's view). Oh how we laughed....

You could always go in the summer, Euro. It can be quite warm then.

What did a syphilitic fanny look like?

Ohhh, that sounds nice. I like cold weather, if it's dry. Thermal vest, normal vest, top, jumper, coat, tights, trousers, socks, good shoes, scarf, hat, gloves - what's not to like? I love tramping about in the cold.

Though I can't be doing with the shops in winter. There I am all bundled up for the outdoors and they insist on putting hot blowers over the doors that dry out my contacts and make me light headed with the sudden change in temperature. Ridiculous.

Indeed, Rie but Norfy mentioned winter hols. I've driven through Austria in the summer and it is absolutely beautiful.

I'm not sure I could really describe it, Rie. It was, er, kind of lumpy and a bit deformed, I suppose.

Draf I'm with you on the shops thing. It's ridiculous. Malls are the way forward in winter. At least you only have to unbundle yourself once then.

I hate the cold though. :(

Ew.

Morpheus was 7th of 12 . Ran like a big baby and hated the ground. On his breeding he needs a decent surface to tunnon and all the rain last night will have been his undoing.

Only 73 hours till Frankel Time. Feeling both and

Tunnon = run on

I was just googling "tunnon", to discover exactly what sort of obscure racing terminology it was...

How long till tonight's jab, fsr?

1 hour and 45 minutes to go

Any sign of Faith after her scan?

BTW, my BF's radio silence turned out to be a false alarm - she left her phone in her car overnight - silly baggage! Still no sign of impending labour, so I'll have to wait it out
