My half term is 11th-15th though, so... Yea, just incase I guess.

In the south it seems this Saturday is last of the half term...

Nah I wasn't. He's always telling people how to find his videos when YouTube is playing up and YouTube was saying that one of his videos was 43 years ago.

Haah, oh Benin! I wish I had the time to game more. I had a cheeky steam session the other week but it was only because I was ill and couldn't sleep!

I just watched a walkthrough and I'm surprised it didn't scare me at all. I guess it's always worse when you play it though.

I need to stop being paranoid about people judging me. I tweeted one of my favourite makeup artists on YouTube and then deleted the tweet thinking he'd judge me for it being SLIGHTLY inaccurate! And I mean I said 'your last video' which it wasn't. I got a tweet back though with nothing of the sort!! Now I'm wishing I didn't delete it :\

I was listening to that song as I opened that video. So fricking weird!! Here's the full Toy Story movie that was recreated with the real toys by two people. It took them 2 years and they've had the okay from Pixar to upload it! Enjoy http://youtu.be/5G0j_Huv2Fg

https://www.lynxapollo.com/en_GB Here's the chance to win a trip to space! It sounds awesome so I thought I'd share. It's a competition. First you need people to vote for you and the top 200 go to nationals. Then 1 person from nationals goes to their Space Academy in Florida against 3 others and 1 of you goes to space!

I finally got my scan appointment through the post!! 17th Jan! Woo! It'll have been six weeks waiting by then so it is a big waiting list. But at least I have an appointment now.

This. I don't understand why we advertised on facebook to people who I assume have never even been to the site, meaning people joined up just to attend and then disappeared again.1. BEACH PARTYYYYY. Something completely different from theme parks (like we've had at Guildford) are really good for bonding/socialising. Or overnight stays?! (in half terms). The premier inn in Chessington was good fun! 2. Monthly would be nice but it's not always going to be possible so I agree with Josh, 6-8 weeks! 3. Well if its a Sunday, a couple of weeks. If not, a couple of months. Although I have all my holiday booked off for work now so if its a Saturday it's not possible for me. Weekdays are a maybe with plenty of warning. 4. A variety of meets would be nice. 5. At park meets, I like that there isn't structure but for other meets, structure IS the way to go. An itinerary I mean.

I hate kids. Especially kids around that age, 8-15s are the worst (even though I'm not that much older). I get the urge to punch them all in the face... And then I remember that I probably shouldn't.

Grim. Why are people so skanky?

I'm sorry to hear that Benin, my thoughts are with your family Benin.

Banned for disappearing off the forum for a while!

Codeine? That's a good point I have some paracetamol + codeine so ill give those a go when I next need them! The doc said she wanted to wait to discuss my options once we've had the ultrasound. As far as I'm aware, if the ultrasound shows that my problem is severe surgery could be an option so we're holding out for now. The only problem with cocodomol is that I have to drive every day so I'm not sure they sound like a good idea

Thank you so much Han. I had to wait for a specific date to have my blood tests because of what they were testing for but after getting those results it does look to be the genetic disorder which is why they're not rushing it now I guess. My pain has gone away but from what I can tell I'm going to have these pains quite regularly and when they're bad they're really bad. What's concerning me now is that there doesn't seem to be good pain management. I was told to switch between paracetamol and ibuprofen but the paracetamol doesn't do anything and the ibuprofen is only partly effective. I know someone else with the genetic disorder and its not rare but the big problem is that everyone has different symptoms and my main concern is having to live with these pains. Thanks loads though Han, it sounds like you understand where I'm coming from. I've found recently that most 'friends' will only be there in the good times and when you're going through a bad time they disappear and leave you alone which, you can imagine, only made it worse for me. x

Thanks guys, I'm much less concerned now although I am having new symptoms! Not fun. I get the feeling it's going to be a long wait til I find out. The good news is, my pain hasn't been too bad for a few days, woo! I know it's difficult to know what to say but I really appreciate it, thank you

I have to wait for my appointment to come through the post but I think there's a long waiting list. Thank you, it's really nice to hear that somebody other than my parents understand. Yea I lost a grandma and a family friend to cancer this year so it was pretty upsetting to think about.

I have had a nightmare six months but the past month has been so stressful. I won't go into too much detail but I just need to let this out. The past 3 weeks I've been having quite severe pains. The original possibilities were a genetic disorder or cancer. Yes cancer. It's a big scary word and even considering that I had cancer was terrifying, especially this type with very low survival rates. Trying to talk to people about possibly having cancer is a nightmare because they just shrug it off saying 'I doubt it'. Today I had to go back and get blood test results and explain about more/different pains that I'm getting. Thankfully the blood tests suggested (but do not confirm) that its more likely the genetic disorder and so I'm getting an ultrasound scan done which will hopefully confirm either way. When I told my friend, his response was 'I told you so'. I am so peed off. Until you've been in the situation where you have to consider that you might have cancer, you cannot judge or joke about it. Besides my parents, I had told 3 friends my situation and nobody seemed to really accept that we are ALL at risk and denying that helps noone. And even now, people just assume everything's over. Well, no, if it is this genetic disorder, I have to live with it for the rest of my life. It's a bittersweet. But yes, the doctor said to not worry too much about cancer for now. Fingers crossed the ultrasound goes well.

I'm fed up of people trying to correct me ALL the time!! No, shut up!

I confess that all my ideas suck. This thread sucks.

I was bored and thinking back about 10 years and I remembered something that I never shared with anyone. So I thought hey, why not share it with you guys. This thread is for all your weird and wonderful confessions! I'll start. I confess that when I first heard that Cornwall is a place (when I was about 8), I assumed it was this desolate place that looked like the end of the world with red skies, broken metal fences and lots of sheep but nothing else. For some reason, I believed this until I visited about two years later. I was surprised to see it looked quite normal. I did say 'weird and wonderful confessions'

I share a kitchen with 100 people. :|

This took me a second. And then I got it. HA!
