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

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?)

Oh euro :( Can you sneak off work early?

Northey · 28/02/2013 14:26

No tear-inducing hugs or anything, but arctic explorer manly shoulder-to-shoulder through-thick-and-thin stoic silent standing by.

CaptainMollingtonCholmondeley · 28/02/2013 16:09

Stands by quietly with Norf

EuroShaggleton · 28/02/2013 16:12

You're all very lovely.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 28/02/2013 16:19

Can you leave work early Euro? It might be a good idea Smile

CatsCantFlyFast · 28/02/2013 16:47

Joins captain and Norf and shakes fist at how crappy life can be

FriendofDorothy · 28/02/2013 17:06

Oh cock and bollocks :(

So sorry euro.

MavisCruet176 · 28/02/2013 17:31

oh shit, I'm so sorry euro

Northey · 28/02/2013 20:14

Are you safely out of the office and on your way home yet, euro?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 28/02/2013 20:33

If we run out of penguins to snuggle with there are always lambs

Euro how are you doing? Please look after yourself.

Hugh F-W is going to Antarctica on C4 in a minute. Probably more cold fish than cuddly penguins though.

euro, I've sort of been there too - both ectopics started with a scan that didn't look right for dates, and an instruction to return in a week. Half the time you're just carrying on: the other half you're suddenly and painfully heavy-hearted. Well, that's how it was for me, anyway. I really am so sorry you're in this utter fucker of a situation.

bluer · 28/02/2013 21:16

Oh euro so sorry

EuroShaggleton · 28/02/2013 21:22

Fanks ladies for the squeezes and cute creatures. I just walked out of work in the end. No one seems to have noticed. And I couldn't really give a fuck anyway.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 28/02/2013 21:23

Have you thought about getting signed off work for a week or two?

Northey · 28/02/2013 21:25

Fuck them. Are you at home now?

EuroShaggleton · 28/02/2013 21:39

I'll just sit at home and google frantically, frank. I can do that at work. More seriously, I do better keeping busy generally.

Yep, at home now. I came home mainly because I desperately wanted a bath (I always do when I am upset). Only to find the cleaner had used all the hot water. Sad

Northey · 28/02/2013 21:57

An Antarctic bath isn't quite the same, even if it is more on theme...

CaptainMollingtonCholmondeley · 28/02/2013 22:02

Ach, Euro it's stuff like that that really makes me lose my rag. The pointless insult on top of the serious shit.. Really sorry you're going through this.

In a really-not-meaning-it-flippantly way, I just looked at this blog and it made me laugh A LOT so I thought I'd share it with you all in the hope that we end the day with some kind of smile on our faces. There aren't any penguins yet but maybe someone will add some.. BLOG

Negative again this morning. Full on snowy waste. Tomorrow is official test day. If I can't get a positive now, there's just no hope, is there?

RaspberrySnowCone · 01/03/2013 07:14

Norf & euro I'm so sorry lovelies xx

EuroShaggleton · 01/03/2013 07:14

Sorry to hear about the Arctic pee stick, Norf.

I woke up this morning to think something felt odd - the sore boobs have disappeared overnight. I just want it to be over now.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 01/03/2013 07:17

I really don't know what to say to you both Euro and Norf Sad
