AYBESAAH? DYHIDWAP? DBDMYV? CYLTEPPC? DYLG? TTITFFY!

Anyone who can correctly translate the above messages wins a baybee.

(Or at the very least, the respect of the BESH).

bear there was a whole selection... Hearts and stars and wotnot. The lightening bolt looked tricky.

I was planning to gym like a crazy lady this week. So far I have ended up having scans pretty much every morning and doing something (mostly work) every evening, so I haven't been once yet. Grrr.

twink my old seccy had 7 before one worked. Shock She was bloody useless throughout most of that time. Now I understand why. Still, it didn't get my filing done.

barbie! Welcome back. I love your username.

Northey · 20/06/2013 12:32

Hello Sindy'sSnatch. I don't think I knew you. But you are obviously a BESHly sort, and a winner to boot. TTC2, you say?

TWinklyLittleStar · 20/06/2013 13:14

Sorry for imposing despair norf, glad the nipples aren't sore, I reckon you'll be droiding soon. Are you tweaking above the clothes or putting your hands up your top? Either way, a bit Shock for the other commuters.

euro - 7?? Bloody hell. Don't know how she kept going. Shame about your filing. Be glad I was never your secretary, I hate filing and have been known in my temping days to shove the bloody thing in any old drawer if the right case.couldn't be found. Disclaimer - I am much more professional now.

eurozammo · 20/06/2013 14:12

norf the soreness dropping off would mean droid is imminent for me.

I don't know how she kept going either twink.

You were a very naughty temp! Most filing is electronic now here. It's still as boring as watching paint dry, but at least you can MN while you are doing it.

evilgiraffe · 20/06/2013 15:28

I actually quite like filing Blush It appeals to the obsessive-compulsive side of my personality. A place for everything, and everything in its place, and all that.

I could never do secretarial work, though, I hate using phones.

Northey · 20/06/2013 15:48

There is some residual soreness, but I suspect that is just the result of the tweaking

I wish my job was just filing. It would be so peaceful and completeable.

TWinklyLittleStar · 20/06/2013 15:52

I was only really naughty in one office, and that had something to do with the fact that I hated them all. The feeling was mutual as well. They were based in an industrial estate close to a well known South London football ground and following one especially rowdy match I found myself protecting that estate from some unhappy fans. I hope that goes some way towards making up for my shit filing :)

On BESH boob-watch - mine are very sore today, huge and, depressingly and unusually, rather droopy (confirmed by HWCA when pressed). I hope they perk up again when droid comes. If I don't get a baybee I don't want saggy boobs. Any boob updates from frank or hest?

CaptainMoll · 20/06/2013 16:14

Draff, d'you wanna come and OCD round my place? It's a friggin pigsty. Sad I am a terrible slattern, and BE is even worse.

OP posts:
evilgiraffe · 20/06/2013 16:30

My house is similarly bomb site-like, Moll. It's because I have to share it Hmm HOTB will insist on having his own things and leaving them lying about. Then my desire to avoid picking up after him outweighs my need for tidiness, so we live in a mess until I can't stand it any more and do all the picking up anyway.

It's the only thing I miss about working (aside from the pay) - my very own space, with everything just so, and no-one allowed to mess with it.

CaptainMoll · 20/06/2013 16:34

Draff - that's exactly it. I'm not naturally tidy, but when BE's away, I maintain a respectable home. Then he galumphs back in leaving a trail of belongings and shoes and dishes and doesn't ever Hoover or clean the bathroom or anything. He'd be mortified if he knew how much of a 50's housewife he turns me into..

OP posts:
evilgiraffe · 20/06/2013 16:43

HOTB is not too bad at cleaning, doing the washing etc. It's just general tidiness that he doesn't do - and it drives me round the twist. I really don't want to pick up his crap, because why the hell should I, but my threshold for filth is lower than his, so it falls to me even when I try to hold out long enough that he notices and does it himself... I have no problem doing the cleaning, but I resent have to tidy someone else's stuff, when if they just put it away in the first place it would be fine.

eurozammo · 20/06/2013 16:57

KFZK is the same, draf. He very much pulls his weight around the house (and does all the cooking), but he just isn't as tidy as I am. I remember fondly my days of living alone when things would just stay where they were put.

TWinklyLittleStar · 20/06/2013 17:09

HWCA is the same. I'm currently pairing socks and putting away clean clothes, he would leave them on the clothes horse or in the living room until he wears them. But he does pull his weight in all other respects.

CaptainMoll · 20/06/2013 17:13

Triple-whammy FBPA klaxon this week. Bloody hell. All my friends are breeders. SadEnvy (though one them nearly both lost her life and her baby's during labour, so I am trying v hard not to resent her replacing her profile picture with one of him).

Bearfacedchic · 20/06/2013 17:29

I am the washerwoman in our house. I do every last sock and dirty knicker. I don't clean the bathroom though as it brings me out in a rash for weeks after. Really. The chemicals are too strong in cleaning products for me even with gloves on too! I do hoover and tidy though. GS and I are about as tidy as each other I'd say. I tend to leave paper around while he leaves his big worn and/or dirty clothes. I'm always picking up jumpers and sports crap but then he's ways picking up abandoned newspapers and unfiled letters.

Hello Barbie! Nice to meet you.

I will give a bear topiary a go Norf and hide it from the sechsing time so it is just for me!

Zammo- I like the idea of the other designs. What would a BESH one look like? A fish? Gin bottle?

Bearfacedchic · 20/06/2013 17:35

I had one of those this week Moll. I've started hiding them from my feed so I don't have to see every last detail of their being preggo.

I've just noticed that one of my little toes has gone black. How did that happen? It want like that this morning. Hope it doesn't fall off. I don't remember hurting it and it doesn't hurt now either. Hmm

Sorry you didn't get to the gym Euro. I didn't realise just how many scans are involved and how much hospital time for IVF. I have a lot to learn.

CaptainMoll · 20/06/2013 17:53

Bear, that is most bizarre. Have you done lots of running?

I realise I actually meant FBBA klaxon. Lots of little new baybees cluttering up my timeline. Hmm

eurozammo · 20/06/2013 18:01

bear my clinic is fairly relaxed too!

Cycle 1 was 4 scans, 1 blood test, EC and ET (and then a blood test a couple of weeks later to see if it has worked).

This cycle has been 4 scans, 3 blood tests and then there will be EC and ET.

Some people have daily bloods and scans, plus various immune treatments and so on. I deliberately chose a "lite" clinic because I frickin hate hospitals. Eugh.

:( for your poorly toe. I once went on a long walk with a 10+ I met when I visited her home town on a work trip. I was wearing new converse and ended up with black toenails. I looked on mapmyrun afterwards, and we have covered more than 8 miles!

Sorry for all the announcements moll. I seem to be fairly quiet on that front although my instadiffer friend has just started trying for #3 so I am expecting one very soon.

FizzyFeet · 20/06/2013 18:04

Sorry about the FB shitness, moll. I hate both pregnancy and baybee announcements equally. And am aggravated by the fact that I can't seem to hide people - just posts - on the mobile app.

Eeek at the thought of bear's black toe. Iz you some kind of arctic explorer?

Hello barbie. Pliz to tell us more about yourself?

I am a bit sick of still feeling crappy. And had a wobble last night because I'm ovulating but there's no fecking point. But am trying to think positive thoughts. It's only been 2 weeks since the op which must mean that my ovulation powers are strong, and I'm gonna need them for ivf soon...

Waves to everyone else. Driz, sinky and bugs - haven't heard from you for a while?

Bearfacedchic · 20/06/2013 23:22

I think I may have just bashed the toe against the inside of my trainer when cycling. GS did that 'Ugh, looks nasty' thing and then went back to his bike. Sadly, no, I'm not an explorer Fizzy, though I wish I was. Who knows what'll drop off next?!

Just watched the first part of 'The Returned', the French supernatural drama on C4. Enjoyed it immensely. Is anyone else watching it?

Yikes Euro, that's a lot if hospital visits. I have no idea how I'd manage to fit all that in around work. Food for thought.

How long have you been feeling crappy for Fizz? Hope you feel better soon.

HesterShaw · 20/06/2013 23:34
