Please Sir, Spare Some Change?

I’m back, after what seems an eternity.

I was so poor broke financially challenged that I couldn’t afford to buy any prepaid internet. (I refuse to have a plan after being screwed over by two different internet companies. I know exactly how much 10GB is and that I definitely did not use that much!)

It is a daily struggle to get through life with little money, but we manage. We really do. I often get self satisfaction out of budgeting each pay carefully every fortnight so that E and myself can buy a treat or something for the house.

So, catch up.

(Imagine you and I with a cup of coffee and some Tim Tams.)

(OhMyGod I really want some Tim Tams right now.)

(I’m off to seach the cupboard.)

Three weeks ago I got very sick. I was due for a Pap Smear so I headed off to the doctor. I had swollen glands and some strange spots which I later found were human papillomavirus (HPV).

This causes Cervical Cancer.

My Pap Smear was abnormal and I was told I was at high risk of having Cancer.

*Insert Panic*

Three Weeks later, (after Christmas) I received my results, no Cancer…BUT, I have a 50/50 chance of developing Cancer and have to have a Pap Smear every 12 months. Everyone who I’ve told seems to think this is great news, I try to be positive but I really don’t like the look of the 50/50 part.

Meh.

I wished I had gone and received the Cervical Cancer Vaccine.

Apart from that everything has been somewhat normal. (Which I like.)

Christmas was very normal. (Which I REALLY like.)

New Years is going to consist of me, My partner and our two girls because, hey, we are parents so won’t be ‘pissin’ it up’. Instead we are going to a few parties EARLY and SOBER then hopefully watching the fireworks in town ay midnight then going home to hit the hay.

Sounds good to me!
