The one with my first real period in 7 years??...

So my first proper period in 7 years has arrived exactly on time... literally to the day!! Which is amazing after such a long time on the pill. So hopefully this says good things about my reproductive cycle. I can't remember how regular I was before going on the pill as it was so long ago and I only had a couple of years worth of periods before going on it... so strange to think I've only had about 24 real periods since I was 16 and I'm now 23.

So fingers crossed for this cycle :-)

The one where we're off to London baby!!

Just a quickie before I get ready for Chez's birthday shenanigans!! So excited! Side note - I'm not pregnant so I can drink tonight safely and guilt free woo!! I have the most fabulous dress like something off Strictly Come Dancing and it's pink in honour of the birthday girl (and me of course haha!)

I had a bit of a blue patch in the last week or two, I guess it may have been to do with all David's hospital
stuff (which is fine by the way - have I mentioned any of that in here? If I haven't I will another time.) Anyway I'm feeling happier now and so full of love for David who makes me laugh with his weirdness lol. Happy happy days.

Now to get drunk and partay at Tiger Tiger in Leicester Square yay! Happy birthday Chezzie Bee!! xx

The one where I have a lousy headache

I have been feeling a bit strange the last few weeks. Almost ill but not quite severe enough to really call it that. I think it’s probably my body reacting to the whole ‘coming off the pill’ thing. I’m pretty sure I’m not pregnant already (!) and besides, some of the symptoms I’ve been having are not really typical pregnancy ones anyway. That said, some of them are as well! Ah well. IF my cycles return to normal straight away (and I’m not pregnant of course!) then my first proper natural period in about 7 and a half years should be due in 2 weeks. If it doesn’t show, it probably means nothing (then again it could mean everything) because sometimes it can take a while to get all those hormones out of your system, especially when you’ve been on the pill as long as I have. So time will tell I suppose.

As you can probably tell my mind is rather one track at the moment. I already love my baby so much, whoever he or she is and I haven’t even got one yet! But for now I will endeavour to think of something else to write about as this mush should really be confined to the other diary LOL. Unfortunately nothing blog-worthy has really gone on recently. Having completely bankrupted myself within a few days of pay day last month, I made a solemn promise to myself that I would be more careful this month and not end up in that position again. However it is now the fifth and I somehow have £27.50 to my name. I am not quite sure how this happened as (unlike last month) I really feel that I have not bought anything unnecessary this time! Except perhaps the £14 spend on KFC at the motorway service station on the way up to Nottingham to visit my family – how does one spend £14 in KFC I hear you ask? Well you try resisting the awesome sales power of the brand new shiny payment machine that they had in there! It’s kind of like a cross between online shopping and the self check-out at the supermarket and it continually asks you if you want to order more things, no matter how determinedly you try to check the F@!* out and pay for your food. This of course is how we ended up with our usual order plus two Krush’ems and an extra bag of chips ‘just because’ (which incidentally, no-one ate). Oh and I forgot about the £4.70 spent in Starbucks on the way home. Oooh and the £35 spent in ‘Build-a-bear’ on bear for my cousin, even though his birthday is not until December. The bear itself would have been cheaper but it was of course imperative that the bear own a pair of Converse trainers.

Ok I’m starting to have an insight into my problems here; clearly it is not safe for me to leave the house in possession of bank cards of any kind ever again. A sad, lonely, shoe-less existence it must be for me. Well not entirely shoe-less...

So other than being completely broke, I am in fairly good spirits this month. There are some good social events planned for the weekends of October (two of which are thankfully already pretty much paid for and one is free) so the outlook is not quite as bleak as it might have been. David has been a bit ill recently with a poorly tummy which has been going on for a while and also very tired (even more so than usual and he is already a fairly tired person!) so after having some blood tests, he now has to have the dreaded camera up the… well yeah. I’ve never enjoyed the experience of this myself but I’m told that it’s not at all pleasant. I am probably not helping matters as, thanks to Alex leaving me with a massive insecurity complex, I keep taking the slight drop in his levels of ‘affection’ to mean he’s gone off me and has imminent plans for divorce. No matter that the poor boy has a massively poorly tummy! I try not to bring it up too much because I do know I’m probably being silly really but sometimes I just come out with it and of course I get told that I am being silly. *sigh* I hope he is ok though, I’m sure it is nothing serious but I’m still worried for him so it was must be far worse for him. Think good thoughts for him please!
