The only bummer is that it hurts when the weather is damp, and I had to have a camera down my throat to find out what was wrong instead...

However, following my own rules, I didn't have to take any clothes off for that, so it was fine.

My advice, for free... if you ever have to have one, have the sedative... i didn't because foolishly I drove myself to the hospital, and you're not allowed to drive for blimmin' ages afterwards - also I don't really like injections! After all that, it was "just" IBS...! BAH!

I second that advice.

I had a gastroscopy last year. I wasn't given the option of not having the sedation. I had to go in as a day patient, walked down to the gastroscopy room in one of those oh so attractive split down the back hossie gowns, had a canula in my hand, and then was asked to bite of the mouth opener thingy before they gave me the the sedation. Next thing I knew I was next door in the little recovery room. No after effects and I was allowed to go home after the requisite cup of tea, plate of sarnies and wee.

I was even dreading that as my husband had had a gastroscopy under sedation at another hospital and he was aware of some of it!! Said it wasn't nice at all!!

Our son in law had a colonoscopy without sedation and that was horrid.

It doesn't matter which way the camera goes - go for the drug every time.

PS No snow yet here in the beautiful Chilterns. Some forecast for the weekend. Last year we were snowed out of our house and had to abandon the car and walk up the hill home. It had taken us seven and a quarter hours to travel 30 miles. A nightmare. If it snowas again this year we're barricading ourselves indoors.

Threading is something i was'nt sure about. SIL has an Asian girl in the salon who does this with amazing dexterity. Does it hurt or is it much the same as plucking?:)

Hurt like b*ggery :eek: Could feel the hairs falling like snow on my face! Had to walk back to the office with two flaming red lines where my eyebrows used to be. They looked lovely when it calmed down (being natural blonde I do tend to show when I've plucked )

As for wax.....nooooooooooooooooo Wax is for a candle and that's where it shall stay.

Anything where i have to take any clothes off for any medical professional is BAD!

I don't need to go into details do I... No... Good

It's a no go zone, I shant say another word though! Poor mentors!

Imagine me having to get the old knockers out for a consultant on a regular basis :rotfl: I have no shame left these days.......

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Excellent. I consider this broadening their education entitled "What women REALLY talk about"


Those of you with fertility issues I bow down to your positivity. A friend is in the same boat and it breaks my heart not to be able to help her more than just a listening ear.
Those of you who chose not to have kids......good for you. No point doing something for the sake of it.

Epilators are great on legs and don't hurt - much. When DD was small she called it the hair-ripper-outer and that just about sums it up

Now she has commandeered it. Hardly seems yesterday that she was rolling her eyes that Mummy would do anything so mad

I don't think there's any peer pressure TBH - they can't wait to have enough to do something about IYSWIM

I did once try to wax my legs and managed to stick them together so its shaving and plucking all the way for me now. It hurt like mad getting them apart again and I almost fell headlong into the bath:rotfl:

Memory_Girl

No!!! no!!! no!!!!! ... you have to stop

Hw can I explain to my DS1 who is sipping his hot chocolate and defrosting having been out to watch the big Xmas light switch why I am hooting like a mad thing with tears rolling down my face.

BTW Mr Big - Mrs Big agrees with the girlies, be aftraid, be very afraid -:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I epilate my legs, shave under my arms but don't touch other bit ewww, I waxed down there once and it itched like mad when it grew back looked like it caught something dodgy.

To change the subject, looking for a new christmas tree, has anyone seen any good deals around?

Well, what a lovley chat we have had this afternoon! For what it's worth I shave, everywhere and always have done. Eyebrows i attack with tweezers and the same for my top lip and as I get older i seem to have to spend more and more time doing it. I remember once I was in Spain and this bus driver came up to me and called me a 'guapa' and stroked his face. It was high summer and we'd had NAE time off so I said to my mate 'Oh !!!!!! don't tell me I've got a beard now as well'. Her Spanish was a bit better than mine and she told me he'd been saying I had a pretty face. What a relief!!!!!

I take the pill and always have done (very erratically and with a lot of swearing!) but my mate is loving the Mirena too. My sis, who's a nurse was over from Oz last year and at my mates for dinner with me and my mate started talking about her gynae problems to her. She then confided she was a bit worried cos she's been to get her Mirena package and it was huge! We'd have a few bevvies by this point so she brought it in for comedy value and said 'I don't think it will fit' Once my sister stopped laughing she reassured her it was mostly packaging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the kids note I don't want my own but am a great cool auntie to other peoples. I HATE the assumption that I will wake up one day and suddenly want to have them. I MIGHT but I can't base my life NOW around that. Must be awful to want them and not be able to have them though.
