Come in, come in. The wine is mulling, the bird is stuffed and cooked. We have a huge table at which to enjoy our festive feast, and the rippling Ricky Whittle is the centrepiece, draped in berries to be removed by whatever method you choose.

A bottle of Gin and an elf-man in a box awaits each and every one of you. Just make your wish and when you undo the bow he will appear.

There's a nativity tableau in the corner, for praying to the baybee Jebus and, most importantly of all, Santa has been asked to deliver the gift of exceptional fertility, so that each and every BESH can enter the new year with a baybeeee in their tum tum.

Oh, and I've let a few cats in to aid with the 2WOOFL menkulness.

Now, let's get together and get the tree up!

laurielou · 13/01/2010 09:56

VAG WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU? You can't drop that on us then disappear!

Bessie123 · 13/01/2010 09:57

VAG YAY I am also nearly in tears (pleeease tell me that's a symptom, I'm on CD22 today). I am so for you.

Bessie123 · 13/01/2010 09:59

But VAG I would like to say that I know you did this on purpose to eclipse my less exciting news... I don't want to tell you lot now... let me know when the excitement about vag has calmed down.

ginhag · 13/01/2010 10:00

VAG!!!!!!!

I want to CUDDLE YOU!

Fuck me I also seem to have damp eyes...

Bolly anyone?

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 13/01/2010 10:02

Calm down dears!

Ok so I still haven't had any symptoms other than non-droid, felt like he was about to appear. Last thing last night though I'd POAS to try to encourage him along. The test line appeared, then I thought I saw a faint other line. But I have done this before, trying to persuade myself it is there. Still faint but there, called TSF in. He'd never seen a peestick before and was more concerned that when I handed him the instructions perhaps I had accidentally got some wee on the instructions he was holding. Then we stood there and didn't say anything. Then he tried to. Then we went to bed. A little while later I asked him what he was thinkign about. He said "work". So I think I was the only one up peeing int he night out of sheer nerves. Boobs hurt in the night, a bit more than the usual pre-droid pain, but so similar.

And now I feel like I dreamed it.

But thank you ladies!

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 13/01/2010 10:03

I want to hear Bessie's news now!

ginhag · 13/01/2010 10:04

beshie I still want to know your news.

Btw thanks everyone for the congrats on shagging! However I am not ttc at the mo as I think it's supposed to be a Bad Idea...so unprotected sex=possibly not clever.

Anyway...

WOOOOoooooOoooooo VAG!!!!!!!

Bessie123 · 13/01/2010 10:05

So VAG even the faintest line in the world is still a line...

I think I got engaged yesterday.

ginhag · 13/01/2010 10:08

beshie!!!! congrats!!!

Mr gin won't marry me. Fucker.

besh mail me your address,I insist on sending a card (I have lots )

cue pathetic wailing from ginhag.. All happy n sad n mental I is....

Bessie123 · 13/01/2010 10:11

It wasn't very romantically done, dp told me to go and pick one up from a certain jewellers shop or to go and see the jeweller to tell him what design I wanted and he agreed a (ridiculously massive ) budget with the jeweller. So no flowers or candlelight or anything. And he said it was because he knew I wanted a ring... no mention of a (ssh) wedding or anything.

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 13/01/2010 10:11

Congrats Beshie! That is lovely news! Can we have the full story? Deffo Bolly-Time now!

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 13/01/2010 10:13

Cross-post - likey the sound of the huge budget!! How can you say that is not romantic?

Sure he will come round to the wedding idea in due course - tell him about the presents! And the holiday afterwards.

Bessie123 · 13/01/2010 10:14

Short story below. Because I only feel sort of engaged I have only told you lot, I feel silly making a fuss about it irl

Also, everyone in my immediate family has now managed to get engaged in the last 3 months [tragic copycat family emoticon]

What kind of ring shall I get?

Bessie123 · 13/01/2010 10:18

I think he's ok about the idea of a wedding. Tbh, I'm not massively fussed one way or the other. But I want a baybee first, I don't want to put off getting updiffed for a year or so while I plan some wedding and then be even older and still failing to conceive. If I'm not doing too well in my early 30s surely I'll be doing even worse in my mid-30s

TwinkleToes76 · 13/01/2010 10:23

VAG That's amazing news! Bucket loads of congratulations, well done to you both! I've shed all me clothes and am dancing wildly around the kitchen...

Gin get you with the hot sex! Am tres envious. I have seen no action for about 4 weeks.

Bessie that is very exciting, congrats. I have always been someone who said they'd never get married but I LOVE other people's weddings!

Camel congrats on the promotion, does that mean tons more cash? I could do with one of those.

Laurie PESH = Pregnant Evil Selfish Hags (see anti-natal threads) - where we'll all end up eventually when we graduate from the Palace!

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 13/01/2010 10:23

A huge feck-off diamond!

If you like that sort of thing [chance would be a fine thing emoticon].

I am sure yuor family will be thrilled with your news regardless of whether others have also got engaged. Don't forget to let them celebrate!

I had a medium sized wedding (54 people) and even 4 years on there are loads I would not now invite. Nothing wrong with a lovely small event - and you could be diffed for it too!

Ah romance! I loved being engaged - we drank a lot of champagne in that first month which, I think, gave me an unrealistic view of married life.....

laurielou · 13/01/2010 10:25

CONGRATULATIONS beshie. What a fine day this is turning out to be.

What kind of ring? Surely there is only one kind - a masoove one!!!!

Bessie123 · 13/01/2010 10:39

I definitely like the idea of drinking lots of champagne...

VAG have you poas again yet?

ginhag · 13/01/2010 10:40

Shit yeah,naked dancing!

fuck it's cold in here

twink I hadn't had a shag since about 2 weeks before Xmas! Due to having a shit rubbish body.

Bessie123 · 13/01/2010 10:45

Ok, I like these. What do you think? Too much?

first one

second one

Scorpette · 13/01/2010 10:47

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY VAG! Jesus Christ, am insanely happy for you! I was crying as I turned my puter on, because the bus never came and have missed my Dr's appointment (biggy rantings on Other Place, sorry folks)... and then I burst into tears afresh upon reading your news - this time with sheer joy! I know it's been a particularly arduous slog for you, so am well chuffed, innit. YOU, Lady, are my new BESHspiration

Scorpette · 13/01/2010 10:52

And YAY for Bessie - sorry Hon, got excited by VAg's news and didn't properly read any other comments!

ginhag · 13/01/2010 11:00

beshie this one!

TwinkleToes76 · 13/01/2010 11:01

Wow Bessie, that's a whole lotta diamonds! My jewellery box consists of nothing but a load of cheap, colourful tat and a pair of my granny's old pearl earrings!

Scorps - damn that pesky snow, hope you get to have a decent conversation with the doc later. I didn't watch that bleeding from the eyes doc last night, other people's blood makes me feel rather queasy.

I am off work today even though I feel physically ok. I have only been in twice since the beginning of Jan . Not sure I'll ever go back, am quite enjoying doing nothing.
