I have taken 2 packs after each other, took the last pill on Sunday and usually see something by Wed, it's now Fri. Am off into town tomorrow for a test and will start my next packet on Monday hopefully sans bean. Don't know what I will do if I am.

So sorry this has nothing to do with flying

pigpen

would anyone care to tell me why my small cat is eating christmas cake??!!

thrifty.. some people get blessings whether they want them or not.. some people get none however much they want them.. I'm sure it will be fine.. and my sis said.. you might not get a period this time but it might wait until the next pack is finished.

Well look at my lists! I am sooo proud of myself! The lists won't be done like this every week but I have a very good clean base to start with so should hopefully be maintainable, as long as I keep to some sort of routine.
Do I get some stars for this week, I really hope so.
Hope you all had a fantastic New Year and that 2010 is good for everyone.
