But Today, I’ve Had Enough!

How do you muster up the strength to get up and go to work when you’ve already handed in your notice and you only have 12 days or 6 shifts left? And you don’t care. That’s the dilemma I’m facing this morning. A bad stomach, running to the toilet every 20 minute s or so, combined with my boss being an utter prick over a work Whatsapp group yesterday has left me looking at the clock and wondering if I can really be bothered to get ready and go to…

Bad Times, Peeps. Bad Times.

If you’ve been a reader for a while, you’ll probably have noticed that I seem to be suffering with some kind of debilitating bowel condition, usually leaving me with either vomiting, diarrhoea, strange gut noises, excess gas, odd smells, you name it. Except apparently, I’m not suffering with some kind of debilitating bowel condition. I’m making it all up. That’s what the Doctors think – it’s all in my head. Bestie had a stomach bug last week. We actually thought he had norovirus (sp?) – a virus that is apparently…

#SmearForSmear: From Normal Girl to High Grade Dyskaryosis & Potential Cancer Scare No. 2!

So, it’s taken me a little while to write about this, mostly because it’s actually a pretty terrifying thing for any woman to need to go through. After already broaching the topic of cervical cancer and some pretty suspect symptoms along the way with a doctor and being laughed out of the surgery, I had put the thought of it all to the back of my mind. I went for my routine three-yearly smear and within six days I’d received a letter – “High grade dsykaryosis”. (See previous blog post)…

21 Things That Go Through My 20-Something Head Daily

1. Is my eyeliner the same on both eyes? I’m sure the flick on the left eye is bigger…? 2. My jeans feel tighter. Crap… Have I put on weight? Where are my scales? 3. Why won’t my hair grow faster? 4. I wonder if I’d look good with my lip pierced again…? 5. Why can’t I have long, beautiful hair like THAT girl. (*Normally accompanied by creeper-style staring) 6. I shouldn’t have a Gregg’s chicken bake for lunch. 7. I really wish I hadn’t eaten that Gregg’s chicken bake…

The Hunt is On.

I need to get laid. Simple as. I’ve figured out what’s missing. Aside from Number 42, I’ve had no meaningless sex during this breakup and this is something that needs to change… and fucking pronto. The Fireman (Number 4) has been texting me recently. He’s breaking up with his girlfriend of about five years and not handling it well. He thinks she has cheated on him which is kinda hypocritical seeing as we slept together a couple of years ago. He’s turning to me like I’m some kind of breakup…

Oh And Possibly Cancer.

I had my colonoscopy. It was every inch as traumatic as I thought it would have been. My period came three days beforehand and I’m usually on for at least five days. I was mortified telling one guy and three women that I was bleeding and asking if I should leave my tampon in or take it out. On top of this, I also had two days of ‘prep work’ to do which essentially meant eating very little, drinking a lot of water, and downing these vile tasting laxative drinks…

Reasons Why Life would Be Easier If I Were A Disney Princess

I woke up this morning and decided that my life would be insanely easier if I were a Disney princess. For a start, I act like a princess already. Secondly, our lives aren’t so different. Don’t believe me? Let’s take a closer look. Cinderella Well, she was all about the shoes and I’m all about the shoes. She got drunk and left her shoes behind and Prince Charming went through all the girls in the land trying to find the right foot to fit that glass slipper. Jock went as…

Big Cheese

I’ve not been around for a while because I’m traumatised quite frankly. I’m traumatised because of my country’s healthcare system. I’m traumatised because my boyfriend wasn’t around when I needed him the most. I’m traumatised because I might have cancer. Fuck. Remember I said that the doc had told me I was suffering with IBS – Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Well, he sent me for blood tests and a stool sample to rule anything else sinister out. This is where the problems first started… I needed two lots of tests –…

I Want To Talk About Poo.

Today’s post is not going to be about sex or relationships or anything fun like that. Today, my post is going to be about something very embarrassing, incredibly gross, and something that you’re probably not going to want to read. I have IBS. Yep, that’s right. After a year or so of struggling to use the loo, having bouts of constipation and diarrhoea, and generally being in pain 80% of the time, I’ve finally managed to get the doctor to turn around and tell me what’s wrong: “I’m pretty sure…
