30s TTC - We Started TTC When the LAST Coalition Government Was In Power

[Muser]

BESH is BACK for Spring. Come in, admire the cocktail bar stylings I have created for you. It's all lowlights and smooth sounds, and there's a rehearsal room in back for the GLEE practice.

The barman are beautiful, the Pit has been well stocked with beanbags and gin. So roll up all you 30-something BESHies who stopped counting cycles sometime in the last century, and grab a martini.

BESHup! Yes.

I do sympathise on that score - Matthew Parris was v. eloquent about it this arvo on Radio 4 - but I still can't muster that much sympathy for millionaires chiselling every last little bit of public money they possibly can for themselves, especially . That being said it's only on the wireless that they're saying he's a millionaire; I don't know that first-hand, as it were.

I just wish there was a politician left I could respeck. Apart from Vince Cable, obvs.

(I have no idea what the especially is doing there, hanging around unwanted, poor bugger).

Woo! I can't booze after 15th June...

except Vince Cable is going ahead with Royal Mail privatisation.

Well that's that then. Nothing remains. Thanks.

sorry

He's resigned! Actually, that is a real shame. I'm annoyed now.

jeez, that was quick for the new government to be embroiled in a scandal.

It is v bad. Twitter is cross.

In other news, am having a sushi/rose feast. Classy.

Belgium in 'not bad at all' Eurovision shocker!

Is everyone else sitting watching and spitting vitriol and derision at the screen? Serbia's dance routine has just been dismissed as 'sub-Chitty Chitty Bang Bang shit' in our house and oh! I've just realised that Belarus is singing in English halfway through the song! TYF is waving an imaginary lighter.

Uncle Vinny is going to sanction the privatisation of Royal Mail? Truly, there is no hope left

Fucking hell, they've got wings now! Bag 'o' shite.

Ireland's entry is wearing the most obvious case of too-tight-Spanxitis I've ever seen.

I laughed all the way through Serbia's entry. It was splendid. UK was dullsville. The Twitter commentary is great.

I'm twittering like a fool at the mo! Just said that France's entry smashes myth that all black people can dance.

Have I entered an alternative reality? Am I really watching people in their living rooms throughout Europe all doing the same dance?

Fair play, that was kind of cool!

And now to the results...I quite fancy Belgium or Romania. MrA also fancied Romania. Because of the catsuits.

Grew, I forgot to gross you all out - my dressings became waterlogged ealier when I had a shower and I had to take them off, gingerly clean the healing bits with kitchen roll (non-fluffy, innit) and reapply spare dressings. And my parents arrived for an impromptu visit whilst I was waddling tearfully in the nud between bedroom and shower (glasses were steaming up in bathroom and needed to see my lower body in a full-length mirror, y'see but needed to keep washing my hands). Felt all faint cos belly button was full of what can only be described as 'gore jelly'. It looked wet and I kept dabbing at it... until I realised it prolly wasn't wet but just fleshy and healing. Fucking TYF wouldn't help cos Grand Prix was on! Now upper incision is really sore and I can't stop worrying that I've done something bad by dabbing at it thinking I needed to dry it off (getting water into them is verboten, says hospital, but so is touching it. Aaaargh!).

Sorry for long and vile rant, but it was blardy awful and the pain is worrying me. Please can I lay my head on someone's knee and have them stroke my hair and say reassuring things whilst I suck my thumb? Keep whining about it to TYF and he's now starting to look like this - - whilst tersely reassuring me

Incidentally, the incisions looked totally healed and fine and are actually v small and discreet, so that's good. POOR ME, BOOHOO.

Gore jelly . Poor brave soldier. Would think that if has healed nicely you shouldn't need to worry about water?

What you're saying would make sense to someone who's not incredibly anxious and neurotic about everything

I only kept dabbing the gore jelly because I thought my belly button was filled with old blood gone all wet till I realised it was actually something more... substantial. Then TYF couldn't understand why my legs went all wobbly at the grossness! Top marks to the surgeon, tho' - am going to have the teeniest tiny scars that even I'll struggle to see (but you know I will do, obsessively).

Does anyone get bigger boobs around ovulation? My boobs appear to have become huge and I'm slightly confused. I don't think I've noticed this before.

I do, M. Think it's nature's way of telling menz that you are a sexy beyatch who needs a good seeing to

That sounds very 1970s tabloid, soz.

That does sound like a good plan of nature's. I shall have to make some use of it. I have already spent most of today poking them in MrM's face and saying "lookatthesizeofthese!" I'm not sure that's the sexy approach though.

I think, in general, that men just like tits and are too busy admiring then to worry about the approach

It's funny, but TYF is never too busy to help me judge mine are bigger during OV/2woofling...

I've never noticed my boobs get bigger at Ov, but then they aren't that big to begin with.

Where is everyone? Have you all got lives or something? I am off to meet a friend for coffee having spent all morning knitting. V exciting stuff.

I'm here, it's a pissy wet day here, and I am shopping online.
