Sammy,

Pigpen starts a new weekly thread on a Sunday evening and adds to it each day. The daily chores aren't always the same - she likes to mix and match and confuse us!

I forgot to post this earlier

Please please Ladies if you havent had a smear recently - within the last 2 years then go and get one - it is so important!
None of us want to have it done - but none of us want to leave our children/ husband without a Mum/wife/partner now do we!!

Discuss your feelings with your practice nurse and make them aware of how painful or whatever it is that bothers you.

YOU ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN YOUR LIVES SO......

PLEASE PLEASE GET ONE DONE SOON!!!!
