Good: Having a dinner party tomorrow night for 8 of my friends; due to the weather we've moved it forward to 3pm and we're going to slosh about in sparkly refreshing alcoholic drinks in the garden first

Good: Today I am wearing a top I bought 2 years ago with the hope that "I'll get in to that when I've lost a pound or two" for the first time (turns out, actually, it took more than a stone to get in to it). I've had lots of compliments in the office about how slim I'm looking, kerchiiiiing!

BAD BAD BAD - IVF round 2 has been put back untilSpetember/October (best case scenario) Smear results came back with borderline changes so I need to have a Colposcopy to find out what's going on and then a repeat smear to make sure everything comes back ok. I'm gutted because we were due to start on the 29th of this month but I also know that my health is more important so I need to keep reminding myself of that fact!

Aw .. (Claire) .. hugs, that's so rubbish.

Ahhh cheers girls. It does suck, but I've got my head around it now, and I know that I wouldn't feel happy to continue with the treatment until it's sorted. I just hope it's straight forward and nothing to worry about.

Bad - My pig pissed on the carpet yesterday - not because she isn't well, or because she isn't trained, but because she was annoyed at me because I wouldn't give her an apple!
