Wots new in my life?? I got engaged to Martin a year ago (4 Aug) and we are trying to secure a mortgage to buy an apartment - it's stressful and frustrating to say the least.

I had skin cancer removed from my nose and had to have a skin graft which they took from behind my ear, the first time I looked at 'it' I was so miserable and totally peed off because my GP had basically forgotten to refer me to a specialist, 6 months later and a few firm words in his ear i was referred straight to a 'plastic surgeon' who did the 'op' under local anaesthetic......... not too pleasant. My biggest worry was actually leaving the house and going to the hospital, when i got there and explained about the 'issues' that i have, i was sent literally straight into the 'theatre' so quickly i didnt have time to think about having a panic attack........... I have to go back on 24 Aug for the results and review of my nose - it still looks bloody ugly but anyway.

Snake count: I now have 13 snakes and trying not to look at the website because i know for a fact i'll buy another!! Each snake has its own little personality and quirky things that make me laugh. They are all very tame as i handle the all nearly everyday!!

2 x egg eaters (yes they do eat eggs!! they come from africa)
5 x ball (royal) pythons
1 x Amazon tree boa
1 x common red tail boa
4 x hogg island boas.

Martin went to a school where they educate children with special needs (autism, downs syndrome aspergers etc) and its amazing how the kids that dont normally communicate very well with 'human's' thoroughly enjoyed their day with the snakes. I find them very theraputic and relaxing.

Other than that I am still here and much the same, some days are good and some not - aluta continua!!

Peace out
