Marydoll some things have to be experienced ….I remember my dad asking if I was nervous about giving birth.
The 23year old me told him it’s not like mums time …childbirth is painless nowadays!
That definately before a 30 odd hour Labour .
I would say he,ll listen to you next time ….probably not.

Good morning. Michael12 and all!

There I was in the kitchen this morning at about 6, ready for work at 7, merrily making a mug of PG Tips; the kettle was boiling away happily while I was adding milk, a tea bag and 2 saccharin to the mug.

For some reason I can't explain, I looked up, and guess what was clinging to the ceiling JUST INCHES ABOVE MY HEAD? My arch-enemy, Sid the Spid! I screamed so loud the cops in the Siberian mountains thought there was a vicious murder taking place!

I didn't walk out of the kitchen; I teleported in 0.0 seconds! Straight to the bedroom where I have my mini-kitchen and made a cuppa from there! Chief Miles O'Brien would have been very impressed with my velocity! Star Trek fans will know who I mean!

Sid the Spid, I REFUSE to let you stop me making a cuppa before a long work shift, so do all of us arachnophobics a favour and twiddle off!

See you all later!
