Body Talk part deux

4 months after turning 25, I received a letter that all quarter century women get... the dreaded S word. I know its the right thing to do, but the thought of a nurse playing around down there was highly intimidating. I had 2 choices:
1. Bite the bullet and book it immediately or put it off for ever
2. Wait for things to be less busy and probably put it off forever

I picked up my phone and called the Doc's. The second you mention "smear" the receptionist goes all nice. Appointment booked for two weeks time.

I get there and the Nurse can see the fear in my face - she is so lovely, reassuring, explains everything, says shes done it thousands of times and all will be fine. And it was. It really was. Uncomfortable - yes, painful - only slightly, quick - very. Ladies - its something we all worry about but do it - its worth it.

On other body news, diet is over- joys of Easter eggs, dieting for months and a new relationship - it all goes horribly wrong! I keep trying to get back into it, but I'm really struggling - I need some motivation...
