30s TTC: The BESH Palace - where the bar never closes, booze is free, the humour is black and babydust is strictly for snorting through a rolled up 20.

[PollyPoo]

Welcome BESHies to the new palais. Plz to come fill it up plz.

For your delight and delectation I have dragged across the bar and the pit. Along with Mitchell (of course) to grant your every wish (but you will probably have to fight Scorps for him first... good luck with that).

I have even brought the Kylie infused absinthe. Now, who will join me in a Blackhole?

Tis I - Longwee!

I namechanged aaaaages ago on MN - shows how long since I've been in le palais Sorry, absence was due to a big case of menkulism, but I have been keeping a close on on yers all and been thoroughly entertained in the process....

Hennyways, I know those of you who remember me from days of yore know this already, but I just wanted to share that... I am diffed! It still hasn't really sunk in - to the extent that it seems v v weird even to type it As the wise VAGGY said, I wouldn't be surprised if someone told I was making it all up... But it seems to be true for now so there you go. I am veering wildly between reasonably calm and v anxious - but am (just) past the point of where I got to last time. so that's something I guess... Still got The Fear though...

Anyway, I have brought Lucas from Spooks for your edification and delight - he's a bit worn out though . (I have only just started series 7 so don't tell me if he (or anyone else) dies...)

Love, snogs and a cheesegrater on the knuckles to yers all

WEEWEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

are you staying? Please stay! We've missed you.....

Am still being all happy n glad for you! Are you 6 weeks ish now then? Are you having an early scan? Is that even possible where you are?

Morning Beshies !!!

Hiya Weewee !!! Am off to google new name. Have to say dramatic build up to reveal was bloody exciting.! (am v. hungover tho )

Was wondering what you're doing up at this time extreme but then remembered the dawgs...

Sorry you're broken luvver,I tried to be gentle

glad re brawl if the outcome was positive...

Are you up for lunching?

Morning Beshies, good to see u bac Weeeeee . Sounds like u two had a good nite Hag/streme!

Well seeing as temp still high this morn I caved and POAS - BFN. FF says I should test tomorrow but I used eBay cheapie AND a FR so I think it is a definite -ive. I'll be in the pit hiding from the rusty fucker if anyone wants me.

ps extreme had super glum time once got home. Think it's gonna be ongoing. Boo.

Step away from the sticks Poo, is too early. No droidage = hope.

maswera I think mayhap I begged my way into le palais before you left ... but that doesn't mean I can't have a crafty grab of yo' ass in diffular congratulations, does it? NO! Come 'ere! Thank the Good Lord for some Good News, that is what I say. And upon that, as on most things, I am unaninaninamous.

Polly Hm, I sort of trust bodies more than piss-sticks. I mean I know that false optimism is torment of the first order. But it really isn't over until the droid comes creaking over t'hill.

Meanwhile I am on my third day of mid-cycle spotting. Just had a good rummage and it's stringy brown mucuous. There, I hope you're enjoying your respective breakfasts. I don't know what's happening and it's giving me a case of the . I am a very healthy girl and have a clockwork cycle. Never had any spotting or strangeness. If I don't get diffage this cycle I'm off the quack.

extrememachine your post at 8.13am makes me love you. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Fankoos loveys. gin I'm 5+5 (which seems to be about 14 years in preggo time). If all stays where it should gonna go to the docs next week & hopefully get a scan the week after that... And yes, I'll stay, if you'll have me

polyp BAH to the nay saying piss stick Hang in there luvver

xtreme sorry you're still going through the mill my love. May I nuzzle your norks? Would love to hear the tales of ginny drunkenness tho

headcase I fink you cames along after I had been put in my menkul box, but be sure I have marked you out as a grade A top class besh lady

poop I have no desire to stoke the flames of menkul...however I feel duty bound to point out that as you are only 9dpo it could be too early. Which means you get to continue to feel like a mad 'un for a few more days. Sorry luvver.

weewee I shall clutch you to my (frankly pathetic,since I had mani) bosom and nevereverever let you go

headfuck I am actually drinking a peach and raspberry smoothie which is pinky brown in colour and quite thick,so mmmmm yummy to the graphic depiction....

Oh bollocks I was gonna say something else but I seem to have gone onto standby mode

I know Muse, you are right but I was lulled into false sense of security by another high temp. Fuck it, wish I hadn't bothered as I'm evil now - especially as TG said "well that will teach you " in response to early and neg test. Tosser. Meh.

Course you must stay WeeWillyWinky you are old skool and we luvs ya. wink]

I will consider getting out of pit to hear tales of drunken Gin/Streme... pretty please?

Poo - it's still such early days. It's not over yet. Hang in there.

TG has obv been taking diplomacy lessons from mr gin ;)

By the way has ANYONE ANYWHERE heard anything from lovelycheggs? I had an email at weekend but nowt since and she must've had c section by now...no update on fb so am all fretty about her,just want to hear she's alright.

Am aware that cs + twins would render her incapable of doing much other than feeding/changing/not sleeping/wondering how babies work...

Announcement (that no one will want to hear, but seeing as mucus and brown string have already been mentioned this morning, it can't harm). Last night we had the most rubbish sex ever. This was after watching Prof James Lovelock of Gaia fame proclaiming his theories on the future of mankind and it made me want to hit him at the same time as believing him utterly (small aside: is it allowed to hit 90 year old professors?). It's alright for you ANCIENT MAN - you'll be dead soon and it's our yet to be born babies and ourselves who'll have to mop it all up. Do I want a baby? Do I? Do I?
Anyway, this made us stomp upstairs and have duty, tired, for the sake of it naughtiness. The pope would have approved.

Hello maswera. We definitely haven't met, but big huge congratulations on your diffedness. A cheerful thought for the day

Hello lovelies!

Am very jealous of all the groping RL meet-up action in this place. Must get arse to the Shire to say hi to y'alls.

Pollster Why don't you poke TG in the eye with the piss-stick and tell him "that'll teach you"? In a loving and affirmative manner, natch.

Cho Yay for beautiful undulating uterus (I want to shorten that to ute, but then get menkul images of Joe Mangel in your womb, and that's not fun for anyone).

Oooh, have finally come up with an acronymn for the husband - when my friend first met him along with her boyfriend's other colleagues, she used to refer to him as Mr Dromedary the nice banker to differentiate him from all the rest. So from now on, Mr D is TNB.

Am feeling proper, proper, proper shit today. Think the GOSH documentaries have fucked my head up - that, and TNB's best friend's wife is diffed. Which wouldn't be a problem had best friend not delivered the news with apologies. He said that they felt guilty that they got pregnant so easily when we couldn't. And that we'd be great parents and it was unfair.

These phrases have been echoing about my empty brain. Am very sad today. And pissed off that he made their pregnancy all about us, when it has nothing to do with us at all.

Sorry to burst in and be all me, me, me...

Poor BactrianCamel (a very poor attempt to be both clever and funny). They sounds like lovely friends, but it's still a total pisser. Stroke.

Humpy I am so sorry for are feeling so bad today. Stupid insensitive people. Like your suggestion for TG, I will fish the stick out of the bin and examine it closely use it on him later. Do you want to come and snuggle in the pit with me, Lucas and Mitchell?

Gin I have a sneaking suspicion that, although I have not met Mr Gin, he and TG are from the same egg.

Aw cam. What a terribly good person he must be to have really cared so much about you guys and not pretend that there's nothing going on.... but how utterly shit that it backfired in such a rubbish manner. Have a very massve cuddle from me. And please do burst in and be just as 'me' as you want,whenever you want. It is absolutely what we are here for.

You're great you are xxx

(yes,kisses. Anyone want to take me on???)

I know - twas so well meant and turned out so fucking badly.

How's the pit of despair, peeps? Tell me news of your utes/miseries/cheeriness.

I forgot to say that I'm cheery about the artistformerlyknownaswee's diffedness. Is nice when the BESH ladeeez win.

God . Didn't read your post carefully enough Camel. They don't sound like lovely friends - they sounds like friends who were trying to be nice, but should have just announced the news and then shut the fuck up.

I don't think that's true. I think he really tried to do the right thing,it just didn't work. The intention was obv very kind tho...often it is people trying to be nice that causes the most upset (see the variety of things people said to make me feel 'better' about the various mcs. All kind and well-intentioned,all fucking awful.)

I guess what I mean is that they still sound like lovely friends. In that they cared enough to try. Getting it wrong doesn't make you a shit person...although it was obv really hard for cam and that is just horrid.

Eggzactly. Actually, one of the nice things to come out of the sorry mess of the last year is that I think a lot harder about how I respond to people's news and what it is/isn't ok to say.

Back in the day, I could well have been one of the evils who said rubbish things about miscarriages (was about to detail list of rubbish responses, then realised that would kind of defeat the object of this post). And I had very strong opinions about fertility treatment on the NHS and how that was A Bad Thing. Stupid caaaaah that I am.

I think that the reason I wanted to make a point (which is sooo unlike me I know ) is because I truly think it is better to say something,with love,and get it 'wrong' than say nothing as you are too scared of saying the wrong thing.

Nothing,of all the ridiculous ways people tried to make it alright,was more upsetting than just no acknowledgement. as to me,that says 'i don't actually care enough to put myself on the line here.'
