I'm Currently Feeling: 


I saw another stupid one last night for tampons where it said something like "If we asked you to design your perfect tampon it would probably be like this..." then went on about it being nice and rounded, and covered with a nice comfy layer etc etc!!!! Bollocks to that. If I could design my perfect sanitary wear it would be some which stayed nicely wrapped up in the packaging in the back of my cupboard for 9 months while I have a baby!!!!!!!
Even DH is slagging off these advert last night. He announced last night that instead of rating sanitary wear from light to heavy, or "mini" to "super" or whatever they do, they should rate it "just a skin wound" to "full on massacre". I think he's actually starting to hate AF as much as I am!!

Hmmmm. Well then I'd get free sanitary wear, which would be good. Even better: if he worked for Clearblue! Think of the freebies then!!!!
(He actually works for the NHS, so you would think I'd get good freebies with that line of work, but OH NO! No such luck!! Mind you the HPTs which the NHS use are rubbish!)

Funny that they don't have a commercial with the woman turning into the complete ogre, that we know we all are, when AF is arriving.

"Have a grumpy period" with angry heavy metal playing.
