The BESH 30's TTC: "Shall I get me rat out, Doctor?"

[ChoChoSan]

The Palace is open and the anti-freeze is flowing - Blue Bols 50p a shot! Two for one on Archers and orange, for the classy BESHies (the ones who keep their hats on whilst undergoing an internal examination).

We have Vampire Bill and Brian Cox in the Dungeon, and David Mitchell and Brian Eno tending the bar....

Cokie everyone seems to ask here too, and I'm getting good at evasive answers and biting my tongue. I think family are the last people I want to tell (although can obviously see why you did Muser), but when future work things are being discussed I'm struggling not having someone to work through possible implications with. Not that I have any desire to tell the people I work with.

Medee, are you going to have the camera ready to capture the shocked looks?

Cokie

BESH = Barren Evil Selfish Hag

2Woofl = 2 weeks of obsesive fucking lunacy

Everyone knows we are trying for another baby - I'm no good at keeping things like that quiet!

BESH's - Howzit?

Droid due next Thursday. Five days to go. I feel totally normal. Not even PMT, apart from the enormous appetite that hits me each month.

In terms of advertising the TTC fact. We have told noone, though if we do win a baybee and we announce, I am sure that it won't be a complete surprise to everyone, as we are of "that age" where every MoFo thinks that you are nasty person that dislikes kiddipeeps.

This week has been a bit of a poke in the eye as found out some friends that have recently won a baybee and another friend and they had their baybee this week. Really nice for them but bloody tough for us. Though not sure we have reason to be all grumpy about this shiz cos we have only been on the "job" for a couple of months (excluding last summer).

Husband thinks we are not SWI enough. I don't always have the same mojo level as him so I am finding it difficult as I do want to win my own baybee, and Husband thinks I am not really committed enough. In other words, the sly ole dog is thinking how can I get her in to bed more, oh I know, emotional blackmail will do it!

Only just lunchtime, so Pimms, lemonade with a gin fizz anyone? Me? I am having a litre of the stuff.

Awright BESHs - how you all?

Droid due yesterday and still no sign. I am same as you silver, feel totally fucking normal, not a symptom to bless myself with. hey fucking ho.

also similar in the 'telling people' stakes - not told anyone but sure everyone assumes it as are also 'of that age' and got married last year. cue ghastly 'knowing' remarks from aged relations. and not so aged ones, even worse

woss everyone up to? i have been househunting on my own today. its not really fun.

I've been stuffing my fat chops. Quelle Surprise!

sal I hate those knowing looks. Before when we had a good reason that often shut people up, now I am fobbing people off with the I am not ready emotionally or financially, then comes the standard response from those that have already won or are winning baybees "oh well, you are never ready, there is never a good time" and in my head I am thinking "if only you knew!!!!"

Life is a biatch. Luckily we still have alcohol to indulge in.

Oh and re: recent posts about FFJ! Mine never seems to change. Bit worrying. It does reduce in the amount when I get closer to droidage, apart from that its always the same. Worried? Are you shittin' me?! Now am convinced am def a BESH, emphasis on the B!

Droid has arrived - 26 days after MC. Fucker.

POASPOASPOASPOAS sal, you know it makes sense!

Bollocks TwinkleToes, but at least you're on to the next cycle and another go. I am waiting for sign of droidage, I want to know when I can start SWI again.

Meanwhile, am watching Band of Brothers and sighing over all the attractive men. Especially Damien Lewis, aka Major Hottie.

twinks that is a fucker indeed, have a snog and some gin

honestly i am sooooooo sure def not preg. seriously no sympts. in past when have had pos (twice before, tested too early, chemical preg really) - have had such boob pain and got nun a that this time. i will patiently wait and drink virtual champagne until it undoubtedly appears. but thanks for the thought

muse i am doing same but sighing over rugby players and their thighs
also a fan of damien lewis tho - wouldnt kick him oota bed enyways

Ron Livingston, who also played Berger in SATC, is my favourite Band of Brother.

Sorry it has arrived ToeJob but at least you can start going again.

I have gin and boquerones, yum.

is anyone else find facebook a bit odd at the moment; whenever I click on all in my profile under groups, it jumps back to the home page.

FaceBook is a pain. It keeps asking me to log in each time. I notice they have change the layout, which could explain why its been buggering around a bit, probably a result of it being redesigned. Knobs.

Facebook is generally being weird today and most unhelpful.

Grrrr to droid Twinkle, but glad that looks like things are working properly.

Silver I'm not convinced my FJ changes much either. Certainly none of this stretchy stuff. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, but surely it can't be that complicated to find.... So I too wonder whether this means I fit the B bit of BESH far too well.

Am now v tempted to go and watch the rugby instead of doing things that need to be done (which I obviously am getting done posting on here and getting annoyed with facebook).

Ockers I do recall at some point (ie: donkeys ago) that my FJ went a bit jellified and that happened only a couple of times and seems to never have reappeared again. So who the frig knows? Not me, that's fo sho.

I know that I legitamately cannot go to the quacks for a bit of chat and stuff until we have been trying for a bit longer, unless I think I am totally a rotten specimen of a female, then may consider telling the Quack a blatant lie. So strike me down.

Good evening to all the beshes in the house.

Belated sambucas for all the droids. Salander, lines up the preggy tests and go for it, you never know.

This month has mainly been about TTC and catching up with Lost and looking after my new dog. Have been neglecting the beshes and been a bit quiet, sozzer.

Clearblue fucking monitor has been promising an ovulation symbol for 3 days now (for those that think I'm mad for using it, yes I know ok) and I'm hoping tomorrow is going to be a mad shag fest. For tonight however, it's me hubby and doggo and a bouteille de vin rouge.

God Desmond from Lost is HOT. He does look a touch on the short side though.

PS I would love to keep mouth shut about TTC but I am such a gobshite that most people (except my boss) know. Is getting a bit embarrassing though and wishing I had been a bit more circumspect.

I appear to have just agreed to babysit for my nephews (4 and 2) for an entire day and night in April. I have never been responsible for one child for that long, let alone two. I am utterly insane. It may put me off the whole wanting to win a baybee thing.

Other people's children are always good - you can hand them back and blame their parents for any behavioural issues. I bet you have a lovely time, lucky aunty muser.

Sounds fun Muser, this is your chance to teach them bad habits, feed them junk food and E numbers and hand them back hyper! OK, maybe not the E numbers till after the night bit.

How's the dog honey? (we know you love it more than you love us, but we're not upset, no....)

I dreamt about taking my temperature last night, is this a sign of true menkulness?

I think I love the dog more than most things (husband included) at the moment. The battle against poo is futile, but he is so lovely that I am fast becoming a bore.

He sends grown men doo lally I kid you not.

At least it is keeping my mind off the fact I am a BESH.

Right off to bath the dog who appears to have slept in the middle of his poo pad.

Am hoping CBFM will reveal an eggy day today. Failing that we will have to finish Lost Season 3 instead.

Anyone doing sunday roast today? I really fancy one.

Husband has gone back to bed having found out that it's an eggy day. He'll need all his energy for later and tomorrow. Luckily I have tomorrow off work, so intending to follow him round the house with a wicked glint in my eye.

Ocarina you can't rely on the eye alone for FJ changes. You have to apply yourself manually if you get my drift. Much more reliable according to the FAQs on Fertility Friend. Only another 742 days left of my subscription. I wonder if I'll win a baybee in that time, or if I'll still be watching Lost box sets.

honeycow Lols and phnars to your wicked glint. It so happens that I shall next ovulate on Valentine's day or thereabouts. Cue much hilarious conversation about how I'm going to cook an exquisite meal composed entirely of aphrodisiac foods. LITTLE DOES HE KNOW. Anyone know where I can get Spanish Fly?

Thank the good Lord he has a month without night shifts - I'm hoping this will return the lead to the family pencil.

At the moment however it's ALL ABOUT the box sets. Watching an ancient Roman orgy is about as near as I get to SWI these days.

Muser hmmm it may put you off... I have more neices and nevvies than I care to remember. Seeing my miserable boring post-natally depressed almost-divorced siblings pop out another baybee every year or so since I was 6 was what put me off motherhood until my insides had dried up into a barren wrinkled prune. However, you're prolly a much better aunt than I have ever been.

Morning.

I am not sure I'm a better aunt Ead, but my nephews are so excessively gorgeous that they would bring out the best in anyone. As well as being cute blonde haired moppets, they are well behaved, polite and funny. Yes they have tears and temper tantrums, but generally they are fab. And my brother and sister-in-law actually seem to be both happy and doing that joint parenting thing and still be insanely in love. They may be robots sent here to convince everyone else to have many babies.
