Deck your halls & dress your trees, the BESH are gifting BFPs

[WinklyVersusTheZombies]

Doff your top hats, lean on your canes, 'tis a Victorian Christmas for the BESH. Baste those turkeys in Victoria & Albert style, and maintain a stiff upper lip when you fill in the BESHtionnaire to see if you are cynical stoic enough to win a Baybee.

Ah it's just that its not prescribed so they wouldn't be able to keep track of what I've had. My guts will go menkul if I don't get some soon though

Eeeeeep, faif. Though better to be admitted than waved off if it is something worth investigating?

Well done norf!

Definitely evil, have been discharged too soon with pain and vomiting and it was a right PITA going through the system twice! Hooray, I can go home :) they will scan me as an outpatient. Even if they find gallstones they won't do anything til after Pickle comes. I guess it was worth me staying in to see if the pain settled overnight (and it has!).

Hooray, I'm home! :)

Hurrah! Glad you're home and ok fair. That must have been a pain, badum tush.

How are you this morning, lovely Jeffers? Have been thinking about you xxx

How about Five Face Reproductive Adversity Together?

FAIF not fair. Blimmin phone!

Glad you're home faify, if it is gallstones I can absolutely sympathise.

Well done Norfolk, how comes you feel grubby? Tis nothing to be ashamed of.

Glad you are home ok faithy. I mean what I said, take it easy

In the same vein as temperature battery's dying, I've just noticed that my Futility Fiend subscription runs out in 31 days. Start of year 3 here we come , etc

Fuck frank :(

Ah hell. Three years.... :(

And yes well done, NorthPole for letting your mum know. Don't feel grubby, lovely girl. Nothing to be ashamed of at all (Or if you do we're all grubby. Yes we're all dirty beatches!)

Five and the Adventure of the Drucks in the Fridge

Look! This should cheer everyone up a bit. More kittens! New kittens!

I've always said that I'm going to have a kitten/cat called Ripley one day.

I started emailing kitten breeders last night.

If I get one, I am going to post daily updates on facebook about its feeding and pooing habits to get revenge on certain people who inundate their feed with baby shyte.

Don't get one from a breeder! Get an adorable rescue tabby!

Rie please don't. :( For years I have wanted a British blue. But I have always felt that I should get a rescue cat. I have been torn on this issue for so long that I have got no cat at all. I have finally decided I should be nice to myself during IVF and get myself the British blue I have always wanted. But I am tempted to get a rescue cat too so they can keep one another company... That way I can satisfy my want and also save a kitty...

Get both!

I love British blues with their cute little cross faces! look at this little beauty. Ignore me - get the cat you want

I have always wanted a Norwegian coon - they are the handsomest cats there are.

I sometimes alarm myself with the thought that MrA and I would never love our own baybee as much as we adore the cat. However she is ten now, and the chances are we will outlive her :(. We must get something to replace her with.

Should I tell an adoption agency that sentence?

If we got another kitten now, Cat would leave home. Christ knows what she will do if when a baby arrives. She hates children - I think she regards them as not actually human, another species altogether.

Def get two, Euro. Granted, both ours are rescues, and although we got them as a pair the older one despises the younger one, but having two is so much more fun.

I don't think we can get a kitten until crosscat and gingercat have died. Gingercat is much more docile and friendly, but she is already "senior" so it might be a bit mean. Crosscat would never cope, she's very doddery these days as well as habitually angry so a kitten running round would stress her to death I think.

My friend has two cats - one jungle tiger wannabe Bengal that cost her hundreds of squid, one rescued cat. The rescue cat is luffly and fluffy. The Bengal is a PITA! Sleek and gorgeous looking but a right monkey! :)

Thanks for the advice Dr Frank. Have postponed my contact lens check up til next week and will just chill out for a few days.

Heh. Rie the bit about telling the adoption agency you want something to replace the cat in time made my laugh out loud (literally, not meaningless interwebby lol). :)

And I love the wallpaper.

I would like a moggy too. My parents got a rescue kitten (pre me). The mum had been abandoned in the woods - the shelter took her in and she had a litter. There was a little black and white runt, not expected to live long. Of course my parents went for her and she lived to 21. They got a pet shop cat (tabby) to keep her company. She was part wild cat (we decided) and had quite a temper on her, but was great with me. (The other one was more timid and couldn't stand a noisy toddler/child.) I think we'd like to do similar - one pedigree and one rescue mog.

Cats can adapt surprisingly well to new arrivals. After the tabby had died, while runtycat was still going strong, we got a golden retriever puppy. The cat initally looked horrified at this clumy lump invading its space, but they learned to tolerate one another. The dog would chase cats (encouraged by my grandad - grr) but not runtycat. I think he saw her as something else. And they would share bowls of leftovers, with the 7st dog letting runtycat have first pickings. If dog tried to sneak in, she would get a swipe.

We got 2 rescue kittens, brother and sister, in 2006. Sadly we lost the little boy to a car accident when he was 18 months old and ever since we've just had the one

We keep talking about getting another -or two-- and HWHNN is keen on Maine Coons, as am I, but I do think we should help out an unwanted bundle.
