Rosie! I loved your mammogram screening posts! I've never had one and am very nervous about it so it's really helpful to have someone talk so openly about it. I also remembering reading your how to avoid clutter while shopping. This one is SO good for me. I just love small little treasures and knick knacks and they just take up space! Thanks for sharing oxoxo. Off to share that one via facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, aw bless you angel that's so sweet! I got myself into such a state before my mammogram and I wanted to try to take some of the mystery out of it. Information is power, you can't be afraid of something if you know all about it. You are entitled to ask for female staff, although the clinic I was sent to was a locked mobile one, with no men allowed inside, not even if they'd accompanied their partner, they would have to wait outside so it felt like such a safe space. The nurses in the screening unit were so nice and so friendly and it was all over in no time flat! Nothing to worry about at all.
DeleteI know what you mean about lots of little treasures! I adore little things, momentoes, memories but they soon take over surfaces and collect dust too. Maybe the best thing is to have some kind of rotation system in place? Only to display some at a time instead of having them all out? I definitely need to try that :) Huggles honey xxx
Good to have as I am catching up! :) Hope you are well. We head off to Manchester UK in two days!! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!! What are you going to do and see? I haven't been to Manchester (or anywhere else lol) in so many years! Have such fun honey! huggles always xxx

ReplyDeleteWe are bringing Heath's youngest two kids to see their grandparents who live in southport. They stay with us for 2 weeks then we are roaming when they return to Australia.
Oh no!! I've done that :) Immediately followed by "no,no no I didn't mean to sign out! then what's my google password again..." LOL :) Wonderful! I hope you're having the best holiday Yvonne, you so deserve it, huggles xxx
