Come on in, collect the Grolsch bottle tops for your DM shoes at the door

We're going all-out 80s for the continuation of the Mass Summer Diffment Project: John Hughes films playing back-to-back and on BESH FM, DJ ChoCho will be playing our all-time 80s faves, from New Romantics to Synth to Goth to Hair Metal to Pop and back again (no Fields of The Nephilim, mind). Our bartenders and waiters are Ducky from Pretty in Pink, Ralph Macchio (the Karate Kid) and Corey Haim (back from the dead especially for us) and unlike most of the real 80s, we actually get to booze!

Here's hoping the authentic 80s vibe will trick our bodies into thinking we've got the ovaries of teenagers!

(Not to mention tricking them into being super skinny and able to eat whatever we want and staying that way!)

There's plenty of Babycham and Ice Magic to pour over ice-cream in the Pit and Metal Mickey will bring them to the wretched at the click of a finger.

So whaddya waiting for? Slip on the ra-ra skirts, slap on the blue eyeliner and let's get winning those baybeez! Last one in the pool's a psycho hose beast!

Oh dear, i must be well thick and therefore not worthy as i've been trying to figure it out for a while now. (hmm, adjusts thinking cap)

As regards the appointment, i am now thinking you're right, although i didnt at first and now its too late as Mr Bomb has work commitments. I guess we'll just have to make another if he needs to go too.

Medee · 07/07/2010 21:24

I'm just kidding, Salad

I'm sure you will be fine on your own; I just find it helpful to have another pair of ears on what you are being told.

sausagegirl · 07/07/2010 21:30

Slightly off topic, but for those who are feeling not so chirpy, hope this makes you smile - she's the rescue puppy my sister has adopted!

Saladbomb · 07/07/2010 21:31

:D yeah true, in a bit of a funny position with this as while mrB is supportive because he loves me, this is kind of more my project than his. (obviously not the physical part!!) And the ball got rolling with investigating my lack of getting up the duff due to a separate menstrual problem so i initially saw my GP on my own. hey hoo, sure it'll be ok!

btw, massive congrates to you, you lucky thing. :D

TwinkleToes76 · 07/07/2010 21:34

excellent news Gin, did you get any answer as to what was causing the bleeding? Also good news for Scropey and Meds!

Ocarina · 07/07/2010 21:44

yay for good news for Scorps and M'dear - that must be a record for earliest ever scan

Hi salad, there's a questionnaire somewhere but I can't remember if that explains BESH. You should fill it in for our amusement if you haven't done so already. Sure the appointment will be fine with just you, I guess you might want to take lots of notes so you can fill mrB in later.

Twinks, good to see you, how are you?

Saladbomb · 07/07/2010 21:58

This one?

  1. Do you like gin? (This is compulsory, you must say 'Yes')
    Bloody LOVE it. Completely beleive in its healing powers and currently have 3 bottles of raspberry gin curing under the sofa.

  2. Men - are you a gold digger or a cradle snatching cougar?
    Cradle snatcher, hes 7 years younger than me - first started dating when he was only 20

    c) foofoo
    d) none, you just pray to the baby Jebus.

ooh ohh ohh i know this one, is it...... D? no C... its C.

  1. Testing - when someone wonders if they should test for updiff (pg), do you: a) bellow 'POAS!' at them non-stop and punch them repeatedly in the kidneys till they wet themselves anyway. b) Sprinkle them with babydust and send them hugs and kisses on lickle baby angel wings.

a) plus make shsushsushsus noises like you mum used to when she needed to to pee by the side of the rd,

  1. Is R2D2: a) an adorable robot from Star Wars. b) the source of all evil.

    i) Oh nothing, I'll probably catch first time and then get the doctor to confirm it.
    ii) Over 100 quid
    iii) I opened an account on ebay solely for the purpose of purchasing sticks
    not that much, couple of emergency prego tests when i had a bit of a weird one earlier this year and a bumper pack of OVs that havent arrived from amazon yet :D

Ariesgirl · 07/07/2010 21:58

Hello i had sex with my boyfriend last month wihout a condom and now i am two weeks late and have sore boobs and feel sick could i be pregnant? How do I tell?

Bah!

And with my little pill of bitterness I'll have a chip on my shoulder please! Just one of the latest gems on the front page (plus exaggeration).

Very sorry.

TwinkleToes76 · 07/07/2010 21:59

I'm not great Occy but thanks for asking. I was sent home from work today because I couldn't stop crying ! I've lost all hope that it will be ok and now I just want it to be over. I'll be booking in for another ERPC for next week after the MC is confirmed on Tuesday. But onwards and upwards I guess, there is nothing I can do about it so I just have to try again and hope for a better outcome next time.

Ariesgirl · 07/07/2010 22:00

Oh well done saladbowl! Are you ginger though? Or is a member of your immediate family? What are your views on punctuation?

Ariesgirl · 07/07/2010 22:01

Oh poor Twinks. I'm so sorry, m'love. Be kind to yourself.

Muser · 07/07/2010 22:09

Oh Twinks.

Saladbomb · 07/07/2010 22:10

i have a ginger tinge but not a ginger minge. none of the immediate family are, giving my sister ample opportunity to taunt me with rumours of adoption during our formative years.

my attitude towards punctuation would best be described as inconsistent, i have an upsetting tendancy to over use exclamation marks but i am currently attending group therapy to try to over come this affliction.

i also have an aversion to the use of capitol letters.

on a serious note, twinkletoes i'm so sorry to hear you re having such a hard time. i hope it gets better for you soon!!!! (see)

TwinkleToes76 · 07/07/2010 22:10

Good god, what an utterly depressing post! Please someone slap me hard round the face! I am going on AIBU for a few laughs...

Hi Lettuce - am liking your cradle snatching ways! But I fear your answer to Q.10 may cause a few gasps! C*ing is banned here because of its droid inducing ways (though I secretly love it too!).

Medee · 07/07/2010 22:14

Ocarina meant to say, sorry you didn't get a more useful response from the docs - even if you weren't ttc, your cycle warrants some investigation, surely.

Twinks sorry it's not looking hopeful.

Scorpette · 07/07/2010 22:20

Twink NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO When we were lighting candles for Gin, we were thinking of you too. You sound immensely brave but I hope you'll accept a huge hug Is there no question that they'll say it's a mc on Tues? My heart goes out to you

OP posts:
Scorpette · 07/07/2010 22:25

SaladCream, it was all going too well until you professed a love for the evil that is c**ping However, your cougarism makes up for it (my bloke, TYF - The Young Fella - is 9 yrs younger than me). Viva Les Cradlesnatchers!

And thanks y'all for your loveliness about my appointment. Project Lorra Sex was most excellent again tonight

PS Sos, that dog is cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!

OP posts:
Ocarina · 07/07/2010 22:42

Oh, Twinks, so sorry to hear that. Am returning to soppy mode to send you a hug.

Casserole · 07/07/2010 22:43

Twinks I'm so sorry. I feel like I owe you an apology, I somehow didn't realise how bad things were at your end. Has there been any more since they couldn't detect a heartbeat? Could it just be a tiny bit too early? I don't want to hold out false hope and I know you'll have already been through it all in your mind but I guess I misread before how bleak it was.

My candle's going on again for you right now.

Please keep us posted xxxxx (because I am not a DHB, and never pretended to be, so there)

Scorpette · 07/07/2010 23:39

The candles are burning bright for dear Twinksy. Hope you didn't feel overlooked when we were sending the BESH magic to Gin; we didn't realise how crap things had got for you. We'll keep hoping for you until we hear different

ginhag · 08/07/2010 06:45

Sorry didn't manage to post yesterday. Spent most of day at epu, then meeting, then mani, then bed (am exhausted.)

I had every intention of checking in on you twink, but that doesn't count for much when it didn't happen. I'm so sorry that you are having such an awful time, sending you loads of love xx

laurielou · 08/07/2010 08:03

Oh twinks I'm so sorry you're going through this. Big hugs & a twang of you bra-strap. Look after yourself, x

scorps get you & your pink & shiny repo-organs! Go, go, go Project Lorra Sex.

aries, cass, how are you both this morning? Sound like you both have loads going on, not just this TTC mallarkey. Take some time out just for you.

salad welcome to the House of Fun

Well, I have a long weekend off work to come to terms celebrate my 38th 29th birthday. I was legitimately able to shout "C U Next Tuesday" to everyone as I left the office. Childish? Hell yeah. Theraputic? Absolutely!

laurielou · 08/07/2010 08:04

medee great news on the BOC!!!!

PerfectDromedary · 08/07/2010 08:08

Gin! I was just about to text you to see how things were going. Not surprised you're knackered.

Twink I'm so sorry that things are going badly for you, but we'll keep prezellated for your next scan.

Salty How're you doing?

Lovely to see influx of newbs; has everyone worked out what BESH stands for?

MountTheFairy · 08/07/2010 08:45

Twink, so so sorry.
