New balls please! The BESH are hanging out the cunt bunting for Wombledon and saddling up for the Tour de France!

Mmmhh... sounds intriguing/interesting Chez, let us know!!

Trying to kill the thread but not much to report...

I quite like this Christmassy bun for some reason

Please don't evict me from BESH!

Going to buy Prosecco in bulk tomorrow (unfortunately there is not Aldi here Barking :( ) this week's Christmas drinking start tomorrow!

Home now so can reply properly .
Erica I have just returned from Aldi with two bottles of said Prosecco. DCW said 'what are those for?' and he got an arsey 'because they taste nice' in return. Beechams, lemsip, tescos cold & flu equivalents... The only thing that has made me feel better in the last 2.5 weeks was the processo I had weekend before last. Fuck it.

Fab I have just made an appointment for next Weds night. Fankle said she's lovely (and she had also been to the crazy lady I don't want to go back to so knows exactly why I need to escape those scary woo needles for some kinder ones). Plus fankle is preggers so I'm looking for some of that woo magic for myself .

And on the job front, good luck Erica, is this in a similar area or something different?
Chez poo for not jumping the third gate, but a chat with the CEO sounds interesting. I reckon he/she will tell you to work half the hours but he'll pay you twice as much. Oh, and give you a year on maternity on full pay .

Barking I love me some Prosecco!! Screw the the lempsip!

No, similar job but for a different organisations that hopefully has more resources than the current one.

Seems like it's my fate to spend my working day talking condoms! Can you IMAGINE? Genuinely thinking you may be pregnant for a cheeky sans-condom roll in the hay once in a blue moon? I know first hand it's not laughing matter (I work mainly with young girls and unwanted pregnancy is not joke) but sometimes the irony of ME doing this job is just waaaay too much!

I did fleetingly wonder how many jobs you could have talking about the birds and the bees to disadvantaged teenagers... Great there are more than one Erica esp with more money. Gotta hand it to you, it's a specialism for sure! The irony is not lost...

Erica I found working with children difficult enough, not sure how you cope with young, pregnant women for whom pregnancy is not necessarily a good thing.

I've just realised that I saw the consultant yesterday, my mother asked recently when the appointment was, but has not called or texted since to find out how it went. Not particularly surprised.

Hurrah for prosecco, new job opps, chats with the big boss, downregging and gentle woo needles with non-scary practitioners.

Fuck off to CPs, colds and ironic jobs that rub ttc in your face every day

Can we add mothers to the fuck off list? Mine in particular. Just called her, and ended up getting pissed off. Her first words were, 'Don't you watch The Missing?' So I apologised for interrupting her TV viewing and offered to call her back later. No, it was fine. But it wasn't, and I just got more and more wound up and now I'm off the phone I just want to cry. It's not so much what she says as what she pointedly doesn't say. And the pauses before she doesn't say it. Like how she didn't criticise the Christmas presents I told her I'd bought for my little brothers, but the pause and the 'ok' told me I was in the bad books as I'd not bought either of them what she suggested I did (and to be fair I did ask for suggestions, I just didn't want to buy either of the things she suggested). Anyway. She didn't even ask about how it went at the hospital and I wasn't in the mood to tell her.

Been awake since 4am. It just struck me that a more productive use of

my time

might have been

to find witty anecdotes

to fill up this thread

but I wasted time actually

trying to sleep

Did we actually have any luck on this thread? MissH got a sticky bfp but it almost didn't count as she wasn't posting at the time! Have I missed anyone?

No luck for me, nothing but a kick in the nuts for you either Barking, soz the mothership is playing you up. I've come to the conclusion with mine that none of it is intentional, she just has the emotional intelligence of a small Dutch cheese. Operation self preservation to guess the potential outbreaks and avoid the inevitable hurt is the name of the game. Not ideal. Have the mullet of mother madness and a sneaky shoulder rub.

'...has the emotional intelligence of a small Dutch cheese'- Love it!

Hags, I can't keep up too much happening on the Fred

But I will post in small chunks to kill the fred coz I hate it now too

Let's go for a non themed version next time so I attempt to ignore how long I've had no luck for?

Woo! Post 900

Barking, Cherry - I hate to be rude (well actually I don't, but maybe I do about a BESH mum) but if your mothers don't know how absolutely ace amazing fab their daughters are then they are fools (fool enough for me to hear Mr T voice saying fool)
