A wordy fred title I know, but it's too early to think of something snappier!

Get ready for the end of the world: grab your OFRS, your emergency gin supply and join us shrivelled harridans in the BESH Bunker.

Admittance is only permitted on production of a successfully completed BESHtionnaire (hint, check out previous BESH threads)

"Cutting down on caffeine"? I know you are a tea drinker but do you have coffee. I drnk about four cups of tea a day - very rarely any coffee. Does anyone think I should cut down? Re: alcohol, I have got down to the equivalent o about four to five glasses of wine a week. I'm thinking that's still too much for someone about to do AC. Maybe I should cut down further.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 27/11/2012 22:58

X posts draf. You are SO on it!

SinkyMalinks · 27/11/2012 23:12

Sturgeon of solace?

Sorry all are miz. But glad to see Jeffro has managed to commando crawl into the bunker.

I have spent the evening with my finance man. Yawn. But I now have new share.

Well lovely lily who led me to besh is on chat complaining about her MSN who like to go to sleazy strip clubs and get lots of private dances. Yes I may be bitter lily but at least I have a great man who fancies me

bluer · 27/11/2012 23:19

Eh that should say man obviously...i've never heard of an MSN at a strip club ..

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 27/11/2012 23:21

Sturgeon of solace

SinkyMalinks · 27/11/2012 23:22

Haha! Are you stalking the lovely Lily bluer?!

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 27/11/2012 23:22

Poor Lily

bluer · 27/11/2012 23:24

I'm not stalking but I am trying desperately to resist posting a response...

MissSlapAndTipple · 28/11/2012 07:23

God MN really does love a thread on lap dancers and their evil/desperate ways.

Feel like utter shit today from all the crying. Now I've made myself cry again. Can I take the sturgeon of solace to work with me?

SinkyMalinks · 28/11/2012 07:35

You could strap it to the roof of your car/train/tram I suppose...

Sorry you're miz slap. As least you're not a mn clutching her pearls at all the horrible lap dancers.

bluer. You and I must never post on the same thred again (expect this one). It never ends well... You meany you.

Northey · 28/11/2012 07:37

jeffy! Glad you made it through the carnage and destruction to the bunker of survival.

I wish LuvverlyLilly would come back to that thread.

tapandslipple, you can have both the Cod and the Sturgeon. The smell will keep people away from your desk so you can have a nice peaceful day.

Northey · 28/11/2012 07:43

What have you evil hags done??

rierie, I worry about caffeine consumption and am trying to replace most of my intake with peppermint tea. I just have one cup of coffee in the morning now. And my alcohol consumption is negligible. But I still worry.

maamalady · 28/11/2012 07:49

Peppermint tea is definitely the way forward. I drink it by the bucketload, don't usually have tea/coffee at all except at the weekend. That is largely habit rather than specific "cutting down on caffeine", though.

Temp has dropped this morning, yet another potential ovulation sign?!

FriendofDorothy · 28/11/2012 08:44

Can I just say that this thread kept me entertained for a good while in the middle of the night.

bluer · 28/11/2012 08:44

sinks you and I are a mean duo indeed. May have been a bit harsh on reflection but it def read like an advert... I'm still not convinced. Anyway she'd obviously never heard of a spellcheck!

slaps maybe a pocket full of the clams of consolation will be less obvious at work. Sorry you had a shit night

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 28/11/2012 08:49

I actually lost not one but two mooncups! Reckon they accidentally went in the bin Hmm

Hope you have a better day today slaps.

JethroTull · 28/11/2012 09:01

Thanks for the welcome back Hags. Sorry for the general level of mizz - am loving the Cod of Comfort & Sturgeon of Solace.

Poor Lilly Grin heaven forefend her man should be driven to lap dancing club!

I am only drinking one cup of coffee a day, rest of the time I drink Redbush tea. It's an aquired taste but now normal tea tastes odd.

Drugs are being delivered next week, it's all a bit bloody real now. I think what freaks me out most is the thought of it actually working......

JethroTull · 28/11/2012 09:04

Oh and I'm off the booze completely. I can't be trusted to just have the one!

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 28/11/2012 10:29

Morning hags

blue, sinks, that did seem a bit like an advert. However one of the massage therapists at the company in question is a fairly good friend of mine. She's passionate, committed and believes she's helping barren types. The company is vair vair professional, and incredibly busy, so I would be extremely surprised if they'd started doing underhand adverts like that. Apparently they have great success rates too. Dunno if I believe it necessarily, bit woo for my tastes, but then nobody knows everything about how the body works.

I cut caffeine down to two teas a day but I seem to have slipped back into bad habits lately. I think cutting caffeine and booze out completely will be my New Years resolution.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 28/11/2012 11:54

Peppermint tea????? YUCKERMAMA!!!

I think I will try and stick to two cups of tea a day. Maybe three? Whatever my conception problems are, they're not caused by caffeine, I'm fairly confident. I will Ask The Nurse tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Needles Training

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 28/11/2012 12:01

I quite like peppermint tea and its great for digestion. Redbush vanilla is good too.

I imagine reducing caffiene can help but I think for any BESH it's a lot more complicated than that.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 28/11/2012 12:02

Ps hope it goes well tomorrow rie.

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 28/11/2012 12:09

The smell of peppermint tea makes me vom. No joke. Lemon.& ginger is pretty nice though. With the added bonus of not needing milk.

Good luck tomorrow rie [top of the class emoticon]

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 28/11/2012 12:17

Fanks hags.

I'm the same with mint. The only mint I like is mint sauce on roast lamb and Yorkshires. If someone is eating a mint near me I have to move away. It makes me feel genuinely ill. Troo fact - I was going through a very stinky farty stage once and feared I had IBS, and someone told me that a couple of mint leaves in a mug of hot water was good for this, so I did it and actually puked in the kitchen sink. And that, I'm sure we'll agree, is a very interesting story.
