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.

Loving the name change, feef!

Olive oil was for mending my thrush. And my pubic hair was indeed enviably glossy.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 19/10/2012 18:18

Ooh olive oil for thrush?! So trying that. also great for hand jobs but you didn't hear that from me Wink

Northey · 19/10/2012 18:23

:o Faith!

Northey · 19/10/2012 18:24

That was meant to be [shocked].

Northey · 19/10/2012 18:25
Shock

Gah.

Northey · 19/10/2012 18:29

By the way, faith and sinky and anyone else who works in a hospital, I am writing a card to thank all the lovely people on the ward who've been looking after me recently. What makes a good thank you card? I'm trying to include specific things that people did that really helped, but is there anything that doctors/nurses particularly appreciate hearing in these cards? Or even, come to think of it, are there other people who never get thanked?

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 19/10/2012 18:52

Wink doesn't dry out like most lubes!

I think any thank you cards are luffly - just to hear you made a difference and that your efforts were appreciated is always encouraging. Tricky if you mention specific people. I guess where I work nurses and hcas get mentioned more than say Physios and OTs. What were you thinking of saying?

Oh and I can't check my own tests - it shows on the system which users have checked the results and when!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 19/10/2012 18:52

Oh Norf, that would be lovely! I don't think the make would matter at all - they would just appreciate the thought. How about something like a view, um, a Provencal field of lavender or something?

Northey · 19/10/2012 19:16

:o I do actually have some Provençal lavender field cards somewhere, aries.

I was just going to mention things like them making me tea and toast in the early hours of the morning when I came back starving to the ward, and someone holding my hand during mtx injections and before surgery (I didn't ask for this, obviously, because I am not a gurrl, but I secretly quite liked it) and always discussing everything with me very openly so I always felt very involved in my own care. Remembering my name and saying hello when i was back wvery week for blood tests. Umm, that sort of thing.

Northey · 19/10/2012 19:19

I can only remember three people's names, out of lots and lots who have handled me/looked up my vag over the past eight weeks, so I thought I probably wouldn't single anyone out, because really I appreciate everyone.

WinklyFriedChicken · 19/10/2012 19:22

New-name-faif - yes vair vair good for utis. I went to a chain of Chinese medicine shops. Can't remember how much it cost but twas worth every penny.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 19/10/2012 19:44

I think that sums it up naicely norf. Those are the 'extra mile' things and the people who did them will remember you :)

JethroTull · 19/10/2012 21:09

I swear by the acupuncture woo. Sorted out my IBS, hay fever and my needles lady is amazing. My sessions are like therapy.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 19/10/2012 21:42

Sorted IBS and hayfaver?! I really must look into it!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 19/10/2012 21:49

hayfever! What's hayfaver? Well I googled. At the uni it's only £15 a session and the first one is free! Talked to MSB and he reckons I should go for it so I'll ring and book it Tuesday :) ooh I'm after having some woo! Honestly though, my IBS is awful, I am constantly snuffly, dry skin, this chronic abdo pain, if there's something that will help at that price, I'm game! Discount if you block book too.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 19/10/2012 23:05

Look! Frankel! In the news!!

WinklyFriedChicken · 20/10/2012 00:44

Rie if that was meant to have links I couldn't work them.

Am all alone in center Parcs feeling wheesy and sore and a bit drunk and missing Husband, to my surprise.

Perhaps if I am so poor at my baybee encouraging health kick, and so poor at enticing Husband towards sechs, I don't deserve to win one.

Northey · 20/10/2012 07:04

It says Frankel might not run if it's unsafe, *winks."

fsr, are you going today? I hope he is there and looks into the crowd so you know he is running that special race just for you.

winkle, you do deserve a baybee. We are all occasionally crap at health and seduction. Why are you in Centre Parcs?

FrankelSaysRelax · 20/10/2012 07:51

Course I'm going! I've been reading this morning and his owner's racing manager has said they are pleased that the course has had no more rain overnight and is due to be dry all day today. They will walk the course to check the state of the ground later this morning, but the intention is to run if at all possible.

I'm leaving in about an hour so don't forget to tube in to BBC1 this afternoon. They will be giving build up to Frankel all afternoon, his race is at 4.05 but the first is at 1.45. Tune in!

BTW, (as if you're all interested!) there was a rumour circulating at the big horse sales yesterday that he might stay in training next year and put off going to stud until 2014 Grin

Northey · 20/10/2012 07:57

Cool! I have developed a bizarre urge to watch him race in person (despite never having watched any racing at all before). 2013 for Frankel and a baybee!

evilgiraffe · 20/10/2012 08:47

I may well tune in to watch him run... 4.05, you say?

Winkly, that is nonsense and you know it. There is nothing to do with deserving or not, it's all just chance. Stupid probability.

I find sechs much easier because I try not to think about it as baybee creation. Therefore it's all just business as usual, although I think even three years on HOTB is still glorying in my coming-off-the-pill MUCH greater sex drive. Mind you, they say women around thirty are more sexually driven anyway so perhaps it's that as well. Sechs for fun is much more fun, and much less miserable when it inevitably does not result in a baybee win.

Perhaps I'm just resigned to not winning a baybee, though, and am just counting time until we get referred for IVF. Having zero expectations does rather take the pressure off, even if there is a small gimmer of hope still alive.

FrankelSaysRelax · 20/10/2012 09:19

Yup, race is 4.05 on BBC1, but tune in from about 3.45 to see the build up and shots of him in the paddock.

Heading off now, see y'all later Grin

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 20/10/2012 10:01

Lie in this morning and have found MrA watching Made in sodding Chelsea. I am watching with my mouth like this Shock. These people.....

That man-woman with the hair. My o-so-sincere who keeps telling the girls he loves them (who has recently grown a beard). Some people bring out my inner bully and those two are them. They are men I want to (to quote Paul Merton) kick in the balls til my foot falls off. I would like to bury the hair one up to his neck in sand and slap him repeatedly about the face. Those girls I want to drive past and shower them in a muddy puddle. This could go on.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 20/10/2012 10:14

I just want to TORMENT them!!!!

Must go out and do something.

ThisWitchSinks · 20/10/2012 10:20

Arf rie. Have ever seen it, but can imagine the wrath it would induce.

Norf, all cards are much appreciated. If there is anyone who stood out, how about a separate card for them? we can stick them in our revalidation file/pull it out at appraisal. Proof that we're not totally shit...

You ok this morning winkly?
