The mammogram is not in the least bit embarrassing. The staff are so used to it. It hurt like hell the fist time I had it done, but new machinery since has made it a piece of cake.

Hope the mammogram goes well - that's a delight I have to look forward to. I like your snowflakes - Lucy's pattern is so quick to make, in't it?

As for xmas decs, we have been known to put them up on xmas day morning! Hope the mammogram went well, I always worry that the machine doesn't stop and keeps squeezing until they pop.

I really dislike having decorations up for too long, they're dust traps and clutter and get old VERY quickly! I also hate tinsel!!! And my birthday is the 2nd of January....I had a similar childhood....everyone was broke and christmased out by the time my birthday came around, including me, I don't really enjoy having one any moreSnowbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572555410663928295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739610091396665556.post-42062733257390323832015-11-25T09:08:47.367-08:002015-11-25T09:08:47.367-08:00Oh that's so sad about the cake the rest of yo...Oh that's so sad about the cake the rest of your rant made me laugh.

My birthday is in December too so I know what you mean about not being a great time. I did always have a proper cake though as my birthday is before Christmas. Hope the mammogram was ok. I had my first one last year and it wasn't nearly as bad as I had thought!

Sadly my family usually forget it, or give him a present that has afterthought stamped all over it. This year he's having a sleep over and going go kart arcing with his Dad and brother. I mean, it's not his fault that I got frisky on my birthday ;)) Oh and I'm with you with the Xmas decs;Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739610091396665556.post-68162107278314793682015-11-24T06:57:42.902-08:002015-11-24T06:57:42.902-08:00And I meant to add, good luck with the mammogram, ...And I meant to add, good luck with the mammogram, and well done for going.

I hope you get a nice new one this year. I hate tinsel and whistling as well. This was a tinsel-free house until last year, when the children miraculously discovered some huge strands of almost new tinsel on a bush in the middle of a nearby common (basically in the middle of nowhere).
