The End is Nigh! Batten down the hatches in the BESH Bunker

[FrankelDeBeauvoir]

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)

[WinklyVersusTheZombies]

Would you like slapping with a fish and told to get on with it, or sympathy and permission to sack it off sinky?

I have kickboxing at 12 then I need to go shopping. We should have gone yesterday but we were hungover and relaxed. Regretting that now - will I even get parked in lakeside at 3?!

rie I would jab where instructed but then I am terrified of ever deviating from instructions.

[lovesLemonDrizzleCake]

Fanks for the helpful suggestion aries it is just that SB gets jealous and wants to join in if he finds me helping meself

Cake is in the oven! And nearly ready. Quick second round in the shops and then cake filling, rowing, decorating. No time for sechsing.

Waves at fizzy's tits. Shall I get mine out for the instadiffy newbie? It might scare her!

[maamalady]

Aww, lie in. Turns out going to bed early backfired - woke up at 4am needing a wee, no problem except by then I'd had six hours sleep, which is damn near the usual quota for the night. By 6.30am I was still not asleep... Think I dropped off again around seven, but was wide awake by eight, grr. Think I shall ignore any tiredness today and just go to bed at normal time!

[SinkyMalinks]

Meh. Still in bed. The fish are looking a bit sad and battered with all the action they've seen recently. I honestly wouldn't waste them in my direction.

Shopping, mid afternoon?
To be fair though, I hit th Trafford Centre with mother Sinky yesterday and it was considerably better than I'd feared.

Bad luck on the sleep draf

Driz, I'm ignoring you. You are being all awake and productive. I am drinking tea in bed. Or I will be when I can be arsed to make the cup of tea.

[WinklyVersusTheZombies]

I am exhausted just reading about drizzly's day!

[EuroShagmore]

Lakeside at 3? Blimey, you're brave. Personally I'd probably wait a bit later so that the people with sprogs have given up because they are getting tired and whiney.

We're off to our local market to see if we can pick up a tree. I wasn't sure that I could be arsed this year, but KFZK has decided he wants one. Which is fine. I might regret it if we didn't bother to do anything.

Rie I am in awe (even if I am not sure of what).

draf the jetlag got me again, so I was up at 6. Again.

[maamalady]

Mornings should be banned, definitely.

Droid is here. I knew staving off testing was a good idea. I have had a bit of a cry, but have not yet broken out the gin... At least it held off so that it was not too bad spending the day with heavily-pregnant friend yesterday. And my bmi is 30.3, so the month of doing bugger all due to the weather hasn't really hurt.

I am feeling alternately desperately sad and really really ragey.

[Frankelstein]

Sorry about the droidal arrival Evil, it's very sucky.

We've been out and come back again - we had to be in town for 9.30 as HWHNN had an eye test booked. He also bought a cheesy Christmas jumper in Primark - bright red with a giant Xmas pudding on the front

[JethroTull]

[WinklyVersusTheZombies]

I am that HWHNN will wear a Christmas jumper. No chance of persuading HWCA to wear one.

Tempers are fraying in Marks and Spencer (not mine - yet)

[Frankelstein]

HWHNN is a bit of a Christmas Addict - he loves it! If he had his way carols would be playing 24/7 in this house for the whole of December He gets so ridiculously excited, god knows what he'll be like when there are kids in the house!

[WinklyVersusTheZombies]

I didn't go to Lakeside. It was chaotic enough shopping locally, however my sister wins the Christmas Shopping Nightmare as she was in Belfast city centre, which had a bomb scare and she had to flee, abandoning her car in the multi storey. Ffs. Like the bad old days all over again.

On a more selfish note - ovulation tests are stupid. Fact. At least, the cheap ones are - how can I have a strong line come up quickly but it be negative, because its a tiny bit paler than the control line? Why does the line come up if my LH isn't surging sufficently? I don't understand.

[OComeAllYeFaithBaby]

Worked. All day! Needy patients and a couple of not quite right.

I would say re the stabbing, it depends on what you're putting the injections into - fat or muscle? If fat - tummy or thighs are good. As drizz says, diabetics rotate around. If muscle, thighs are the optimum location.

[OComeAllYeFaithBaby]

wink I never got a definite positive on a cheapy opk. Only the clearblue :) ones. I'd say get sechsing!

[WinklyVersusTheZombies]

Fucking hell the clearblue opks are £25!!

We are still.sort of on a sex ban and I wanted to not do it this month, to give myself the gift of a menkul-free Christmas. But I would give my left leg for a shag round about now

[WinklyVersusTheZombies]

faif will you be working on your feet right up until Baybee comes? Bad times.

[Frankelstein]

Evening all.

I was told to inject into my tummy and to alternate sides so that you don't stab the same area twice. The only time it stung a bit was when I didn't use the ice cubes. The trigger injection was the worst - bigger needle and lots more stuff to inject: 200 units instead of the 75 I'd been injecting daily.

[OComeAllYeFaithBaby]

I will be taking 3-4 weeks annual leave before going on mat leave. I am already finding I can do less and less at work. I may not be able to hack the long days when very pregnant. I will have to see.

I bought the clear blues online. Cheaper. I have a stick I can post you so you only need to buy refills? They say you can assume you are fertile after you get a smiley so you can stop testing. I found testing with the days they suggested I got a positive within a couple of days so the 7 pack would last a few cycles.

I don't know when we last did the sechs. A week? No, two.....

[JethroTull]

Faith hope you're sat down with your feet up now?

Frank I did the alternate side tonight, am going to keep swapping in the hope it doesn't start to hurt. I'm forcing SSG to watch the Girls Aloud programme - he's protesting but not enough

[OComeAllYeFaithBaby]

I am jeffers. Big fat swollen ankles are up! 4 days off! Yay!

[Casserole]

Just sneaking in to quickly send lots of congratumalations to that there Dor ... brilliant news, and great sneeze! Well done.

And also to register my great pleasure at the concept of the Halibut of Happiness.

Lots of luffs and dead legs to all.... and some local anaesthetic cream to Jethro

[WinklyVersusTheZombies]

faif the number one rule of diffedness is that you may be swollen, or big, but you are Never Fat.

I don't think the CB digitals do refills.

All you stabbers have my admiration, you are being brave and stoic. Fingers crossed it will do something.

[JethroTull]

Casssssssss

I hope it does something too Winks!!

[RockinaroundtheTippletree]

Fuck what a night, was my 30th birthday meal, really good up until it came to paying and people must have massively underestimated how much drinks cost. I collected all the money. £150
Short. Cue MATV saying don't worry he'd cover it but I refused, if it was 10/20£ it would bother me but £150!!!! Short!!! couple of friends saying they would add in and a couple getting shitty at paying £25 each for food and drink. Then being squished into a stinking fucking fuckin club full of desperate fucktards trying to get drunk or laid. Great night. What a fuckin waste of time, and money is all I can say. I literally cannot wait to get this shit, cunt. Yes I said CUNT of a year out of the way. .

[EuroShagmore]

Aw, Tipps that sounds a bit shit. I ended up in a loud bar on Friday for some drinks and was talking to a friend I hadn't seen in a while. We were both complaining about the level of the music and that there was no where to sit. I think at 36 I am past spending the night standing up and shouting. The bill splitting is always dreadful. £150 short is loads! I can't believe your guests was have left MATV to pick it up! Very bad form. Tut.
