Cream walls? Check

Obscene amount of gin in well stocked bar? Check

Stop confusing me and frank! It's always us two.

Sorry. Am confused anyway. Dad has been readmitted to hospital. Fucking hell.

Fluffiness makes no difference. I was a Frolicker for years and it did me sod all good. The intense cynicism of the BESH matches my feelings much more closely!

In other news, droid this month lasted eight days (CD10 today) - this is practically normal Shock Of course, the current throwing-up-everywhere sitch is not making me all that attractive, so sechs still on hold, but it's a start...

See I loved the Frolickers but like you Evil I think it's day came, I would have stuck out like a sore thumb on that thread if it was still alive and kicking. We are definitely Barrens. I have come to terms with that now, just about I think. It may be some while before everyone accepts it though Hmm people's reaction to me saying 'I'm a barren' is quite interesting, haven't tried it much but it evokes one of two reactions: embarrassment or, annoyance. It's really odd.

Sorry to hear about your dad Hest, how's he doing now?

It's really rather hot here hags. I've retreated to the van with my wine as its only 25 in here as opposed to 30 odd outside. Spoke to a lovely French man last night and he said that its so hot here during July/August that they eat lunch at 12 then everything stops until 5/6 pm then they work til late then swim in the river at night because its so hot through the night (think 30/35!!!) I love it here but I would die in that heat. It's a very different pace of life!

He's bad, Rasp. Not something which will ever get better.

I know what you mean about it annoying people when you say you are barren. It's as though people are offended by your negativity, as though you are going against something natural if you are not dancing around being positive and BELIEVING you will get a miracle. You've got to BELIEVE see? After all, my hairdresser's cousin got pregnant naturally at the age of 42 after failed IVF. It's bound to happen to you as well.

rasp that sounds lovely! The traditional houses are actually built to be very cool and shady, so are not at all bad even in the height of summer.

Sorry about your dad hest.

Clinic have given me the go ahead for May. The appointment lasted literally two minutes and was as pointless as I had expected! I left KFZK to phone them up to try to get them to answer when we could go again and he ended up making the appointment as he couldn't get an answer. I really should have done it myself!

Sorry about your Dad, Hest

My friend was a bit shocked at our name, but it really does help I think. It's like an anti-babydust forcefield.

Sorry about your dad hest, dog shit, isn't it? How are you bearing up? Am sure it's the last thing you need on top of the progesterone rage.

rasp eek! We don't go for another 6 weeks, we've booked end of May/start of June because HWCA really doesn't like overheating.

euro grrr at crap clinic wasting time, but fingers crossed for May.

It's SO shit, Winks. I know you're going through similar with FIL (that is you isn't it?)

I'm just thinking ahead to the BFN and wondering how I'll cope.

And in the meantime, I have lots of oily seabirds to find :( :( :( :( Fucking cunts. I hope them catch the bastards and fine them off the face of the earth.

My grandfather had dementia, it's truly horrible and very surreal. I'm sorry you are having to go through this Hest and Twink, it's so upsetting.

MATV is continuing his sportacus'athaon and one of the women has Barrenness too! She's just been to a witch dr who has given her a cock candle and now she has to copulate within the hr and guess what, neither of her fellas can get it up. Can't blame them, the one is just about to die and the other has just been on a murdering spree but even so, selfish bastards.

Bugs - the only things that make for a shit BESH would be getting instantly pregnant, having an outlook that involved lots of rainbows and baby dust and wishing weally weally hard as a solution to everything.

(Disclaimer: rainbow comment excludes people on the threads where they have lost their babies, because those women can choose whatever means necessary to get through that awfulness, as far as I'm concerned, rainbows and baby dust included. End of transmission).

Hest my gran is going through it too. My dad (it's his mum) was in denial for a long time. She's on some drugs now though and when I last saw her she was doing ok, just very repetitive but knew who I was, etc.

I have been at a work do. There was champagne.

hesty, I'm so sorry your dad is back in hospital :( Is it "just" his mind, or had something physical happened?

Report
HesterShaw · 18/04/2013 23:14

No it's his heid. It is a physical problem i.e it is the amyloid causing the progressive dementia, but the reality of his situation has hit home and he's fallen into a psychotic depression again.

Are you going to visit? Or is it one of those awful situations where there is no point (eg if your presence would just distress or unsettle him)?
