It is a fact universally acknowledged that a woman in her thirties in possession of a ticking biological clock MUST be in want of a baybee.

The former thread proved full of sadness and most vexatious disappointments, wherefore we know not :(. Therefore the BESH will be donning their empire dresses and enlisting the assistance of Captain Wentworth and his admirable breeches and Mr Darcy smouldering damply in his transparent white shirt both of whom with their pleasing countenances and sound judgements and enormous fortunes, in short both of whom are everything a young man ought to be in the expectation that happier times may be ahead for the BESH.

I like your and rasp's wordings for a basic BESH feemed fred. Glad your weekend passed relatively smoothly.

Evening Misses BESH.
Silly TLDR person. Can we hold the next fred inside a towering fortress where we can throw rotten fruit at invaders, and taunt them like in Monty P's Holy Grail?

I had a lovely weekend with dancing and art and family and friends and good food and loveliness..
Until just now, when I just got the first sign of impending droid.

Bleh.

Good morning my dear friends. My sincere apologies for my absence over the last few days, this foul weather caused me to take to my bed (aka the sofa) to rest (aka slob out in front of the TV).

Bravo to those of you who have taken up exercise, I should do the same really .

One final thing I want to say, and I hope everyone out there is paying attention . I have no objections to lurkers be they old BESH, potential BESH or just other posters checking up on friends. What I do object to is people using this thread for their own entertainment. This thread, and I speak for myself here, is a refuge and a place that some people actually need for their own sanity. If that is in some way amusing to you then kindly fuck the fuck off.

Here endeth the sermon.

Hear hear Frank

TLDR? Isn't that the point of MN? Unless you're a self absorbed idiot who thinks we'd be interested in what some nomark has to say.

Quite. Why on earth does someone who admits she can't be arsed to read or write anything else think that we would be interested her family's idea of which Bennett sister she is? Why would you take the trouble to post? How very strange!

And Moll, I do like very much the idea of shouting in a French accent "Now go away or I will taunt you a second time!" before hurling a dead cow at potential invaders (Fetchez la vache. Fetchez la vache. The COW! )

I was very sorely tempted to write:

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

That's an insult to hamsters Frank! (Bit sensitive about hammy's since mine is looking very frail and a bit bald now!). Epic fail just skimming the title of the Fred!

Cucumber seems to be his fave - I think it's helping his hydration. Poor baldy geriatric hamster :(

How old is he Faif? My sister had a hamster when we were teenagers. Despite many close shaves with the cats, she lived until she was three and a half. I think that's quite elderly for a hamster.

2 years ish. Even that's not bad for a hammy. This is the one who survived the fire!

Cor! An asbestos hamster.

Good work hammy! Poor dude. Hamsters are bad pets because of their short life expectancy, in my opinion. I was really sad when my ex's died! (we buried him in the park.) He was a lovely creature.

I ought to be asleep...

Go to sleep!

Cats are the best pets obv. I do like dogs but wouldn't like to live with one. All that dribble and barking. And they're so messy. And they smell. But other than that they're ok.

Hamster was a rubbish baybee substitute and to be fair it's lasted about the right amount of time. MSB doesn't like cats. I won't get a dog because we don't have time to look after one properly so I just don't think it's fair. We might get a bunny in the future. I like bunnies. Or a penguin..

TWink hope the blood tests went off ok.

Good luck this morning bugs.

Hello hags. I am very glad to be back in the land of empire lines and Pemberley.

I'm pretty shattered but doing ok. Going to try to have a short nap and then push on through to normal bed time.

Sorry about the poorly hamster, faif.

Twinks when do you get your results?

As for TLDR, that gave me the right arse. I'm so sorry that our conception woes are going on too long for you. Frankly, they are going on too long for me too.

Yay. Just had word from Mr Euro. EvilTenant has been paid off and fucked off. I hope he gave him a piece of my his mind - that was my condition on agreeing to pay him off (I would have been inclined to call his bluff if it had been completely up to me). He's now meeting with a decorator to get the flat painted and put on the market asap. Hurrah!

Hurrah! A moral victory! :)

Wanker.

You get wanker tenants and wanker LLs. Why can't everyone be nice? :(

PS you are not a wanker LL obv.

Hurrah! Do check the curtains and backs of radiators for kippers :)

There is a strange quiz on tv at the moment, they're in the middle of an Austen round.

I was too sleepy to ask when the blood results were due, and as the phlebotomist commented that I was filling the vial slowly (unusually for me), clearly even my blood is tired.

He's left a 60 inch TV in the property . At least we might get a bit of the cash back from that!

Poor tired twinks.

Sixty inch? DSis has a 50" telly in her 'games room' and it's humungous, I can't imagine bigger. How big is the flat euro?

I think the needling lady might have stuck me with a 'wake up' needle, I feel surprisingly lively now.
