The femmes fatales of the BESH are lying back and thinking of England

As witches and pumpkins become old hat, the BESH are scrubbing up well in salute to James Bond in general and Skyfall in particular. Put on your slinky cocktail dresses and stiletto heels, grab a Martini, and start schmoozing with well-dressed secret agents.

Insta-diffs will be shot with a quip but without a qualm. Anyone else wanting to join can dodge a few bullets post the BESHtionnaire.

Isn't "posses off" something everyone says?

FriendofDorothy · 04/11/2012 22:09

I worry that I could easily turn in to a baby-bore. I need to be reminded of the fact that it is a shitty thing to be. Please point out my failings to me if I end up posting up pictures of my baby's first turd or something equally vile.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 04/11/2012 22:13

My colleague out a photo of his child's first poo in a potty! Hmm I hid him. Tmi. Five children between him and his wife too. Not exactly PFB!

So far you're alright dor, I still read your posts on t'other place!

FriendofDorothy · 04/11/2012 22:17

Faith I am relying on you to tell me when I overstep the mark.

It's tricky because I want to be happy about what is going on without being a smug annoying bitch. It's a tricky tightrope to walk.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 04/11/2012 22:18

We'll watch each others backs then dor! I am not mentioning being diffed much at all really. Think it's easier that way!

Northey · 04/11/2012 22:22

I only have about 3 friends anyway, as I am so bitter and horrid. I can't afford to unfriend any. But I would live with 2, if one of the three started being so dreadful.

MissWinklyParadiso · 04/11/2012 22:25

Ok. Here are some hints:
Baby in a skeleton costume - cute. Baby shitting - grim. Baby scan pic - fine. Baby scan video uploaded to YouTube - do fuck off. The occasional anecdote - fine, but we don't care that your baby doesn't realise the clocks have changed and your newborn does NOT have an opinion on this years X Factor lineup.

Hth.

FriendofDorothy · 04/11/2012 22:27

Perfect. Thanks. ;)

MissWinklyParadiso · 04/11/2012 22:27

Norf! I utterly REFUSE to believe you are bitter friendless or horrid. Someday I will meet you for glamorous Bondesque martinis and discover that you are fabulous.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 04/11/2012 22:45

She is gert lush.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 04/11/2012 22:49

By my calculations you've got at least 4 ESH as friends norf. You are lush too!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 04/11/2012 22:50

AND she loves cats.

SinkyGoodenplenty · 04/11/2012 23:29

Wait one minute... You're all friends on facebook?

Northey · 05/11/2012 06:02

Some of us are, in a fairly haphazard way, sink. Are you interested in joining this elite, inner, BESH-extra world? (it's not really a world. Or elite. Or BESHly.)

Excellent list, winkly. I would also propose a cap on the percentage of updates which relate to your baby rather than you. And a ban on using a photo of your baby instead of a photo of yourself.

Northey · 05/11/2012 06:05

And thank you for nice words, rierie and faif.

FrankelDeBeauvoir · 05/11/2012 07:20

Morning BESHly Bond Girls . Bit chilly this morning!

I'm on a course all week, though thankfully it is in my home town. Not a good week to be off caffeine though as its all about tax, employment law, accounting, etc

I is friends on the Book of Face with Bugsy and Rie but am happy to friend stalk the rest of ya if y'like Grin

MissWinklyParadiso · 05/11/2012 07:55

I luffs being on a course. So relaxing. Proper lunch breaks, always finishing on time, and with the better ones I come back to work brimming with enthusiasm. Tax and employment law sounds a bit dull though.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 05/11/2012 08:53

I iz friends with a few - started with bugs because we planned to go Steps together (never happened due to stupid dates), then norf, dor, queenie, blonder and vairy recently lp! I did say to MSB yesterday I know someone who is going to be on tv and he asked if I really knew them or 'knew them' through MN! Shock (Tis someone from school).

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 05/11/2012 08:54

Oh hope the course goes ok frankers.

MissWinklyParadiso · 05/11/2012 09:13

I'm not fb friends with anyone here just wankers apparently

Do I Shred or go for a run before work today, that's the question.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 05/11/2012 09:14

How cold/wet is it wink? If I could run, I'd wrap up and go this morning. Tis cold but sunny here.

MissWinklyParadiso · 05/11/2012 10:05

7 degrees and dry. So a bit cold. I don't mind being cold, but I'm asthmatic and my lungs aren't hugely fond of cold weather.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 05/11/2012 12:01

I'm going to That London today. On the train.

EuroShagmore · 05/11/2012 12:30

Rie I shall notify the relevant parties to lay out the red carpet.

I generally have a rule that I won't friend anyone on facebook who I don't know IRL. But I would make an exception for the BESH. I've met LP anyway.

I had acu this morning. I love needles lady. It's such a relaxing start to the week.

Northey · 05/11/2012 12:31

Are you?? To where? Why? When?
