Good News!

Just had a phone call from my health centre. It was about my latest cervical smear test and to tell me that the results were negative 'Phew' I have been quite worried cos i had the test done about 10 weeks ago and have heard absolutely nothing (you usually get a letter saying if the result is good or bad after approx. 6 weeks). I have to be tested on a yearly basis because 4 years ago pre-cancerous cells showed up on a test and i had to have a minor operation at the colposcopy unit. It wasn't one bit painful and there wasn't any pain afterwards but the 'no sex for 6 weeks' nearly flippin killed us! Anyway, thats another test out of the way for another year.

I took Josh and Jake to the opticians today for an eye test and both boys got away without needing any specks. Nik and i had our tests last week (Niks first ever test and he needs a pair of reading glasses! Bless him, he's showing signs of age now PMSL) so that just leaves Dan.

While we were down in the village i decided to call in to the hairdressers to get Max's hair a trim. Max is my 2.5 year old and he has a gorgeous head of curls but, they were getting a bit out of control and he looked like he belonged in the Hairbear Bunch (to the younger people who my read this, its an old cartoon where the characters all have Big afro's). Well, he really didn't like it. We had tears and tantrums and for some reason when he feels threatened/scared Max roars like a lion!? So, if you can imagine a curly haired child stripped to just his trousers (because he wouldn't wear a gown and i didn't want him to have to sit in the car all the way home in a hairy shirt) sat on my knee having a hair cut with a tear stained face and roaring at the poor girl like a angry lion while shaking his head in every direction possible, you'll get the picture. The minute he was finished the girl gave him a lollypop and then he was all smiles and 'Thank-you very much' He does make me laugh.

Nik has been really busy again in the house today. He has finished the dividing wall in the conservatory (so that i can have a seperate utility room) and has filled it with insullation. He even go round to putting the UPVC step in on the french doors and they now look lovely. I have taken some photos and will upload them asap (i have trouble getting them to upload on here).

Anyway i must make the tea now so i'll call it a day....bye for now.
