The ongoing search for BFPs now leads the BESH to the barren polar wastes, in the footsteps of Scott, Shackleton and Franklin.

[ArielThePiraticalMermaid]

Pack those reindeer sleeping bags, huskies and skis - we're off to the Antarctic to look for our BFPs. Unlike Scott, we'll eat the poniez if necessary (topical joke). Let's huddle together through the Antarctic night and we'll try not to kidnap one of the emperor penguin toddlers for our very own. Bring on blizzards, pack ice, shipwreck, attacking leopard seals, voyages across the Southern Ocean in rowing boats and hazardous traverses of South Georgia in search of rescue - just like the Shackleton expedition, NO BESH WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.

(do I win the prize for most random fred ever?)

More than 12?

You are fine.

Apart from whatever it is which is preventing you conceiving obviously.

I did the Christmas fred, and it took forever to fill up so I am obviously too crap and should stay well clear.

Oh draf 12 is short-hand for YOUNG. How are you feeling btw? Must be better if you know you're not 12

I have never done a fred, but a) I am not funny and b) when I am physically at work I don't come on here.

PS Period drama fred?

I know, driz MUCH better today, temperature two degrees lower this morning, currently cuddled up with soppygingercat and rewatching Sherlock. I love Martin Freeman and The Batch SO hard.

Were we going to have a recruitment drive scary interview feem?

It says that in the title. I can't link now as I am at work and I won't click on links with swear words in the title in case it sets off some sort of IT alarm! It was posted pretty recently so must be on the first or second page.

That was to Draf, btw.

I quite like "period dramas" for the wordplay.

Yeah Verily lets have some period dramas! I'm practising my disdainful fan action as I type it is making typing quite difficult

WILL O"THE WISP!!! That was my most favouritest thing in the WORLD when I was tiny small. I get a bit teary just thinking about it..

Having just noticed that I am nearly at the end of the 2ww, I am now menkulling like mad. I am also sulking that nobody has disagreed that I am crap

Twinkle I was not a BESH at Christmas, but I feel sure that you were not crap in the least. Sorry about the menkulling.

twinkly you're not CRAP. I do not recall the fread as over Christmas I was crying about nothing all the time. Which had less to do with you fred than with my mc.

Stop menkulling or PIAJ (a jar).

Aw driz sorry, I was mostly just joking combined with being a bit PMTy, didn't mean to been so self centred. I will step away now.

TWink any slowness with that Fred was due to it being holidays and people being away or slaving away! Snot personal. 'twas a good Fred :)

Christmas is just busy, is all.

Changing the subject entirely, I looked up Dr Christian last night. He does indeed appear to be impressively ripped, but WTF is with the lopsided smiling? Has he got damaged facial muscles on the right-hand side that stop him doing a balanced smile?

Twink if you're stepping anywhere, is it the loo per chance? And don't feel self-centred, the Crimbo fred was a good three months after mc, so who is overreacting now?

I agree draf he is damaged. But then he did all sorts of worthwhile things in Africa, perhaps it happened there

I bought four more pee sticks at lunchtime. I have just peeed on one. No, don't all get out of your reindeer skins. It's another iceberg of a no.

Still, three more to use up before I get to use the official clinic one on Saturday. That means two more mornings and another thrilling office pee.

I keep looking hopefully at the blank stick, like a mother polar bear trying futilely to wake her dead cub.

Maybe he's had a stroke?

:( at that image. I am firmly keeping everything crossed norf.

and at aries.

Random moment: do we remember Big Brother 2006 and that Susie woman whose husband paid for her to be on the show? She's the one Nikki was on about when she in the diary room when she was shrieking "Who IS she? Who IS she!" and flinging her arms around. Anyway she is on Home and Away a place in the sun. She is SO desperate for fame!

Aw Norf.

Christmas fred was fun. People were just not around.

Right, I need to finish up here and get to the gym, otherwise I will lose the motivation!

I couldn't help myself

I went there too. So did Faif.

We're bad.

Just constructive. She asked. We answered :) kat got there first anyway!

Good old kat!
