30s TTC - Our BESH GussetWatch Ever, With Guest Star Joe Mangel!

[Scorpette]

Come on in, you raddled old caaaaahs, whotchoo waitin' for?

I've gone for a groovy 60s psychedelic theme, so get your fat upper arms comfy in the hanging globe chairs and hide your mememe shame in the glow of the lava lamps!

Russell Howard is our new bartender, although I don't think he's happy at the flares 'n' kipper tie outfit I've forced him to wear. And of course, Mitchell is in the pit, nervously awaiting his first guest.

Let's make this one diffalicious!

Right, now I've made it, I'm off to work! Laterz...

Why am I so excited? Every time a new fred is started and I have to go looking for it iz like I'm on an Easter Egg hunt. Which is weird because I've never been on one of those

Loving the title.

lorry obv. x posts earlier. Don't feel bad about feeling bad about other peoples good news. I know exactly where you are coming from. It's uncontrollable so don't beat yourself up about it. Its like some weird grief thing. I STILL haven't met my best mates baby and he is now 9 months old

Go with it. Bawl your heart out. Its a much better idea than pretending you are unaffected. These things seep out through the sides otherwise, and thats bad news for everyone

I also don't think anyone should feel bad about have feelings of jealousy or sadness like that. I cried when I found out my s-i-l was pregnant and did the whole Pit of Despair thing. It's not that I wasn't happy for her, I really am. But it reminds me what we don't have. I should be vastly pregnant right now if the first diffment had worked, and if the second had I could have been planning for my second scan. And it makes me very sad that I'm not.

Fanks everyone. Just sorry you've all felt the same at some point. Shit, isn't it?

Love the new fred title, the Joe Mangel ref is GENIUS!

Well I'm out to spend the day shopping. Thankfully its sunny so I can hind my puffy red eyes behind big sunnies. The red eyes have also themed colour of outfit for the day & reminded me of a fab handbag I haven't used in ages.

Lets make this thread a good un, x

Found you all!

I had a really weird reaction to the birth of my BM's first - found out at work, and as soon as I got home, crawled into bed and cried my eyes out. At that time, I had no broodiness, so it wasn't that, but I do think it was a worry at the loss of one stage of our lives (we have been friends since the age of 5). So, whatever you are feeling right now, it is perfectly normal.

Right, back to work...

I'm with you there Meds. When my bestest friend announced 6 yrs and 6 months ago that she was diffed my first reaction was one of dismay. What? No more lewd, drunken raucousness? No more driving along the street, beeping at lads and then looking in the opposite direction to make them look stupid? No more lying in her parents' garden in dark glasses and dressing gowns before staggering down to the beach (after getting dressed obviously)? Makes you realise you're now Grown Up. You get news like I did last night and it scares you stiff. And then when you reach our stage, and your insensitive husband announces last night that MORE friends have texted to tell us they're expecting after one year of marriage, and you just snap out "Great" and walk into the kitchen clenching your fists. You little sister announces she's pregnant and your reaction is (to my eternal shame) "Fuck me!" and walking off to compose yourself. God, what a cow I am. And I've been through nothing compared to some of you wimminz.

But onward BESH soldiers, marching off to war, with the cross of Jesus, going as before etc etc etc (sorry, v traditional, hymn-singing school).

Loving the title

Morning Hags!

Like the new place Scorps...it was getting a bit too cosy in that last gaff by the end...more drinks and violence required...and is there only one slave in the Pit...poor bastard surely needs some company?

Got a letter from Barts this am, to invite me to a consultation appointment in two months time. I am a fucking retard or is that a fucking joke? I'd really like to know if there is something wrong with my brain, but waiting four months for an investigation, then a further two months for them to tell you what you already know...does that make any sense? Have they LOOKED at the fucking stats for diminishing fertility at my age? Six months wasted when you are 38 is not a fucking joke. Sorry to be so fucking moany at the moment, but this is so frustrating, when you are in the system, everything that needs to be done has been done, and you end up waiting for a 5 minute conversation with a consultant to either tell you what you already know. Its not even a ranty thing, its just making me fucking cry all the time.

I think I need to put this all down as a complaint, because no one takes the time to explain or justify waiting times, and they all seem to say different things so you never know what to expect.

Sorry, I woke up really fucking chipper this morning, and felt philosophical about it all yesterday, but it's gone a bit Kafka today!

Dead legs and chinese burns to all you slaaahgs...

Am in motorway services at Donington (fully intending to wave at Scroffy as I pass) but wanted to do a quick drive-by headbutt for laurie, cho and hairisyourariels. Thinking of yalls.

Right, back off to scary road filled with homicidal lorry drivers.

Un-fucking-believable Cho. I am so bloody on your behalf. Have you rung them up and gone postal on them?

Well done on the new palais Scropulous, I like.

Lorry don't worry about feeling bad. Tis entirely normal. You can be happy for someone but still utterly miserable at their news. Hope you are having fun shopping - make sure you buy lots of new undies, and lots of slinky new outfits - this should invoke sods law and you will be diffed.

at Joe Mangel name. Just googled him and lost half an hour remembering old Neighbours storylines/characters... Jane/Henry/Shane/Des anyone?! Maybe we can work them into the BESH questionnaire to make sure candidates are really old enough to be here

Still and at the shit treatment of our dear BESHies. Kick some ass ladies (or outsource to Scropy)

Where is our Headcase? She is unusually quiet...

Bangers is menkulling so has taken a vow of MN abstinence. She dashes in and out occasionally but daren't stay too long.

Also, where is Cockdodger Please come back!

Hello wenches

Just checking in really, nothing much to say for meself. Sorry about your letter chocho, that's rubbish

Just finished SWIing so now I shall pass directly to 1W of menkulness - have no idea if I even OVed this month, sticks all over t'shop this month so it's only 1 week to wait now. Which is both good and bad as you all well know. We'll see.

Tesco shop comes tonight so at least that's another opportunity to discuss my lack of fertility with a random stranger...

Big fat haddock slaps and dead legs to all

Oooooh, Cameltoe, I felt you waving to me as you went past

Cho, I hear ya, Sistah, and I feel your pain. Why don't the fuckers have done and book it for your 45th birthday? Because you're not getting any younger and things seem/feel (or sadly, are) bleak, it feels exactly like that's what they're doing. Ok, so the NHS is overworked, but they have no thought, no heart for the unbearable fucking stress they put women through with this shit. I've basically been having to wait 3 months or even possibly more for the lap just because they insisted on making me wait 6 weeks for someone to repeat themselves for 3 minutes and that's NOTHING compared to this shite. Can you not ring again and ask how you go about making an complain about how long they've made you wait? It might put a fucking rocket up the cunts (poor choice of words? )!

Streaminglive, I hope I didn't appear patronising when suggesting harsh things to say to your NHS twatbaskets; didn't think for a minute you don't know how to sort yourself out, but just that I am a professional fuckwit-hassler and love to pass on tips. I hope I wasn't overbearing - it's just that their treatment of you made me so mad and I heart you so bad (I'm a poet and I didn't know it!).

I've had a horrible moment today - not TTC-related. I have a vile Ex called 'The Evil One no. 2', who I've mentioned before, and he is a freak. I mean, literally - he has massive mental health issues and I am scared of him (he didn't hit me or anything but I had a lucky escape). As far as I knew he lived 100s of miles away. Then today, I picked up a new booklet for a local gallery, which has pics of visitors looking at exhibitions in it. And HE was in one of the pics [shitting yourself emoticon] I was absolutely bricking it that he might live in the same city as me but have stalked him on Google (my poor laptop feels soiled!) and he does indeed work 100s of miles away. There was even some pics to prove it. Thank fucking god! But wtf was the psycho doing at a local gallery several hours drive away from him? It's not a massive place or with a scintillating show on, so GAHHHH!

I want Bangles, where is my Bangles? And Cockatoo!

Scorp I know where you're coming from. I have a nasty ex who suddenly popped up on one of my friends facebook pages last week and it really freaked me out - he's not tried to contact me (and he wouldn't dare I don't think) but just him suddenly appearing in my virtual life like that really threw me, felt sick and panicky all day.

Sorry you had this happen.

It's suspiciously quiet in here? WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING?

I'm here. Managed to take my vitamins this morning without choking for the first time ever. And my temp has been 36.4 for 5 days in a row now, which is unusual.

Is that high or low Medee? (For me it'd be in the middle but I think everyone's different)

Muser we're all plotting trouble while you're not watching.... (Or sleeping, at least I was when you posted). Now need to get the house clean for visitors, who include a 6 month old baby.

middle, Ocarina. I'm on CD5 and it's been that since CD1. Nothing particularly interesting about the temp, just the unusual stability of it.

Gosh, has everyone been abducted by aliens? Or are you all at a party together and I've not been invited?

I have been trawling around Oxford Street trying to find clothes and failing. I have a wedding to go to at the end of May and nothing to wear.

i too have been shopping, though not for anything in particular. I did get new nail polish though which I have just been painting on.

you're both so much more glamorous than me. It was garden furniture, plants & BBQ purchasing for the Caspers today...

Me and TYF went to the bustling, futuristic megalopolis that is the crappy small town we live in to buy various dreary items plus food. I got v upset and grumpy cos it was chocka with chavs and their offspring and it felt like everyone else in the world has a child except me. Got grumpy and mardy and was a general caaaaah all avo. Then Dr Who was ruined by fuckwit ident at the end. My life really is this dull

Really struggling with not being able to TTC for a while. But at least got letter from hospital asking me to ring up and sort out a date for my laparoscopy. Funtime!

I went to work and came back early and went to sleep and then watched TV. I think I win the "Dullest Day" title.
