OT - let the CHAT CHAT continue

I didn't find it painful but it is a bit unpleasant (and a bit 'cold' lol) but it's over within a matter of seconds.

I think i will just have to bite the bullet and make a appointment with the nurse.

Lol

I am soooo excited, i promised myself that if my scan was ok then i would book, i have been watching the Disney and Eurostar sites for days.

May half term, 2 nights wed-fri staying at Santa Fe. i did want to stay in the Cheyenne, it was available this morning but by tonight it was gone.
Going from Ebbsfleet on the Eurostar and changing at Lille for the TGV, slightly scared about that but i am sure it will be fine.

Total cost including Eurostar for 2 adults (even though she is 14) £395.20. Pretty good for Half Term i thought, that's with the 40% off offer.
I have decided not to tell my Daughter until the night before. Well that's the plan anyway.

Good evening everybody

As I've been a bit busy tonight (and therefore not found time to work on my project), I thought I'd report back a little more on my Slovenia trip while I've got some time for anybody who cares to read - those who don't can just ignore this post

I had a wonderful trip - the weather was really nice, though it did rain a couple of days. There was plenty of snow and it was nice and soft as well. We were also lucky enough to have a reasonably large fall of fresh snow on thursday night, so I had the pleasure of snowboarding through fresh powder on friday morning.

I did quite a few things this year that I've never done before - I snowboarded down a (steep) black slope for the first time, which is an achievement and only really leaves one slope in the village for me to attempt which is the world cup run (much steeper again so I'm not ready for it just yet ). I also had an hours session learning to do cross country skiing which was great fun, but very tiring - especially when I tried going up hill. I also had an hours private lession of downhill skiing which was an experience - I enjoyed it but I don't think I'll be hanging up my snowboard any time soon.

We visited the near by town of bled which was very pretty, despite the rain - I also sat down to one of the best cream cakes I've had in a while (and also one of the biggest ).

I also enjoyed a night tasting Slovenian schnapps - I love the occasionaly schnapps, so it was nice to try lots of different flavoured ones. Over the course of the evening I got to try plain, orange, sage, cassia, strawberry, pine, cherry and blueberry flavoured schnapps (plus a second glass of orange). Needless to say I was feeling a little "merry" after, but because the schnapps was all natural, it meant there was no headache in the morning - even after the 9 glasses I had

Everybody else had a great trip as well - mum and DB both took their first ride on the ski lifts, so we all went up to the top of the small slope for the first time which was fun (even if DB insisted on racing to the bottom but wouldn't allow anybody else to win )

Finally, I took the oppertunity to renew my snowboard, buying a much better board and therefore giving myself a full, spare set of equipment to use on the dry slopes near where I live, rather than ruin my good set.

I'm uploading the pictures as we speak, so I'll update this with a few pictures when they're finished

Hi everyone - I lost track of this thread.

I am now in my last two weeks of attending uni after 4 years I am starting to constantly have a nervous feeling in my stomach about it.

 

[Danauk]

Evening all, how bad is it that at parents evening after school today 2 sets of parents asked for my advice on Disney holidays?! lol

 

[wideeyes]

It is quite worrying really especially now they have increased the age to 25.
When i was 22 i had an abnormal smear and had to have a loop cone biopsy procedure to remove the pre cancerous cells.
I have been ok since but imagine if that was now, i was 22 and now would have to wait another 3 years to have a smear. Terrible.

The same happend to me when I was 20, I had three abnormal smears before having treatment. I am 27 now and I have had smear tests yearly since I was 20 on advice of my GP.

I only had the one abnormal smear, must of looked quite bad as they didn't even say we will do it again in a few months to see, i was booked straight in to the colposcopy clinic.
I had smears every year for 6 years until i was 28 and now i have gone back to every 3 years, although that was not my choice that is what my Doctor said i was to do.

It must be a scary feeling. What are you plans now?
I'm feeling a bit weird that my son will be finished school in just over 2 months time. His last exam is on 20 May and after that he's done. I got quite sentimental while ironing his uniform the other night.
