    Morning everyone :D

    Anyone due a smear please go and get it done. I had my first one at 21 (1997) and it was abnormal, went through several years of repeat smears, trips to the hospital, my bits being dyed so problem cells would show up, treatment and a biopsy. I never developed cancer but had pre-cancerous cells that kept appearing. Two years before my first son was born (2002) I had my first normal smear and they've been normal ever since :T. So, please please, please ladies get checked :D Ok lecture over :rolleyes: x

    I'm sitting here packaging up my ebay stuff I sold yesterday. Lots of bits so not made any serious money but I'm happy to get rid and take whatever money people want to pay me ;)

    I've got a large order of wedding stationery to make that I haven't started yet so need to get cracking with that tonight once the kiddies are in bed.

    Take care everyone :D

    Morning all
    I really need to book a smear too I don't think I've had one for 4 years so overdue now. Not feeling too grand today I've had terrible nausea all week and had the same last month a week before my period was due. I've never had this before and its awful!!! Harri woke up this morning and had pooed the bed so the poor little mite is not going to school today, OH said he has a dodgy belly too :( I was hoping he was going to do some gardening today while I do all the cleaning :(

    Not going anywhere today have too much housework to do. Really don't feel like it but i must crack on.

    D Day for our dog is Weds and I'm starting to relive all the emotions again. Dreading it and i'm back in work Weds night.

    Hels - i admire your dedication going to aerobics I could never face going

    Sylphraven - your hamper is lovely :T

    Still haven't finished the easter egg hat but may try and do that this evening.
    Hope you feel better soon.

    I have a dodgy tummy this morning :( not impressed

    Xmas Saver!
    With all these poorly bugs around, think its time for another mum2one family story....

    Going back when I was with ex (95/97), he was comong up for xmas dinner with us, so my mum decides she needs some dutch courage, he'd been up for meals b4 but this was our 1st xmas 2gether.........
    So at the time her favourite drink was Black Russia, tradationally made, Tia Maria, Vodka and Coke, we'd got this other verion called Kauaula, and their black russia - they omit the coke, dad and I didnt realise this - she was never without a full glass, as she'd shout need a top up......... by lunchtime she couldnt balance properly, trying to impress so did beef as well as turkey, gets the beef out of the oven, instead of putting it straight on to the side, she gots a fork in each hand and into the beef, decides to do a full 360 degree turn, for the heck of it, Whisky (he was still pup), thought it was his lucky day and was there dribbling at the mouth........ managed to rescue the beef........ the turkey she dropped, so Whisky had self service with the turkey, did rescue it........ she was out of her tree, only then did we ask her where the empty coke cnas were, she replied what coke........ the coke uve had in ur drinks........no I havent had any coke ... the bottle doesnt say I need any....

    Best bit - dad and me dish out dinner, go to the table theres 5 chairs, theres 4 of us, (mum, dad, me, bf), on the 5th chair she'd got Whisky sat on it, he was wearing an xmas hat......... he wouldn't shift........ he sat thier like lord muck, by afternoon, mum was snoreing away nicely in the chair xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Wow Shevs what a fantastic boyfriend you have - can you share him please :j When are you going? It's fantastic out there you will have a ball x

    Thanks Jamtart I feel a little better although OH and my little boy are feeling poorly. Usually i would feel sorry for myself and not do much but i've managed to crack on and do all the cleaning. Just need to hoover now which is a mammoth task in a 3 storey :eek::eek:

    I'm wondering if chocolate would make me better its a very good medicine so I think I will have a go at making a malteser cake. Sounds gorgeous and easy to do so going to pop up shop for all the bits. Sod the diet :D
