Had to cancel the hysteroscopy this morning. I am full of cold and it’s on my chest.
Not sure if I’m relieved as I now have to wait for another appointment and do the waiting game all over again. But with a cold it’s better to be safe than sorry where anaesthetic is concerned.

Here’s another little ‘Madness’ that I probably shouldn’t share, but what the heck!
Once upon a time I lived on my own in a little 2 up 2 down house. I’d grown up with pets but because I was working full time decided it was not for me. Until one day a little creature unexpectedly joined me.
It was a fly. Yes, that’s right a fly. 
But this fly was no ordinary fly, it used to come when called. I kid you not. I used to walk into the kitchen, shout "fly" and then he would appear.
He lived with me for a number of days always coming to see me, sharing our days events with each other (okay that bit is made up), but whenever I called his name, he came flying to greet me.
It was a happy little existence.
Until one very sad day, when I arrived home, called him and he didn’t come.
I then discovered him in the bowl in my sink that I had put bleach in to disinfect a dish cloth. He was still alive, but barely. I got him out of the water, laid him on a tissue, but sadly he was too far gone and I couldn’t save him.
The reason this tale came to light after all this time is due to another fly that has been pestering me in the kitchen for the last couple of days. I’ve managed to get this one out of the kitchen.
You know what it’s like, it’s sometimes too painful to replace one pet with another!
……. by the way. Before you think I should have got out more, I had actually met my husband to be at that stage! He used to laugh at the way I called "fly" and how he just appeared. It didn’t put him off marrying me thank goodness. :-)
He can also remember the way I used to call him, getting the pitch higher than my normal voice. Go on I know you want to try it!
