This year I’ve had my third cervical screening. I only had my first at the age of 25 as I missed it when the guidelines changed previously; I was 16 at the time so instead of waiting four years for my first, I had to wait nine instead. I’m a strong believer that the age should be lowered again as although I know it doesn’t necessarily detect all abnormalities, there is still more chance of detecting them with one, than from not having one at all.
Slimming World weigh in #22 – the one where I don’t quite make it…
After another 1.5lb loss last week I was hoping for that 2 stone award this week, before I go away on Saturday. I did have plans at the end of last week though which I knew might scupper it a bit – it was bake club week, I wasn’t going to compromise on that one! I just made sure I was on plan for the rest of the week. We were at my father-in-law’s for tea on Sunday though and it was pizzas, but I made syn free potato wedges and some salad. We did have leftover bake club cheesecake for dessert …
Review – Old El Paso sweet potato & chilli enchiladas
You may have read before that we are big fans of Old El Paso so when an email popped in my inbox asking if I wanted to try a new recipe I thought yes, I’ll give it a go!

I love sweet potato and chilli so I was really looking forward to trying this. I was sent all of the ingredients (bar the …
Little man N at 1 year 3 months old
It seems N wants to be more & more like his big brother every day. Though there are almost two years between them it doesn’t feel like it sometimes as N is catching up with J so quickly. I still refer to N as a ‘boddler’ at the moment but soon I will need to start referring to him as a fully fledged toddler – I just don’t want to as I refuse to be the owner of two toddlers! (One will soon be a pre-schooler anyway…). Since N’s last update I actually managed to take him to get weighed. …
Slimming World weigh in #21 – repeat as necessary…
After my loss of 1.5lb last week (yet another shock!) I had decided I was going to get right back on it so I had no more of going to weigh in expecting a gain and so being shocked at a loss. I was on plan all week and right back into it, though I did go over my syns on Sunday when we were at my brother-in-law’s for tea and I had proper sausages and some Vienetta! For the first time in a few weeks though, I still managed to be within my weekly syn allowance -well, I had …
