Book your smears!

Image
 It’s uncomfortable, it’s a little embarrassing and no one enjoys having them done but it could save your life.  I’m in my 30s now and have had around 4/5 smear tests, they never get any easier but having them has raised an issue which we can keep an eye on and could possibly save my life and prevent me from developing cervical cancer.  My first smear was perfectly normal and wasn’t anything to worry about however my following smear showed I had HPV which is one of the biggest reasons behind many developing cancer. I now have yearly appointments with gynaecology to keep an eye on whats going on and to make sure that there’s no progression or cancerous cells. Having HPV doesn’t mean you will definitely develop cancer or cancerous cells, however it increases the risk. Without my smear, I wouldn’t have any idea that I had it, so wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on it.  Many people feel apprehensive about booking their appointments for their smear tests however the benefi...

Hello ghouls, gals and none binary pals. Sometimes when I am reading someones blog I find myself looking for a post like this which i’m writing now. I absolutely love finding out a bit more about the person behind the posts, so I’ve decided to delve a bit more into who I am and why I started this blog.  My name is Bettie, which I guess you all already knew and i’m from Greater Manchester. I live in a town around 40 mins from the centre of Manchester.  I’m a December Capricorn. ♑️ I am currently single. I’m not really overly bothered about labels but to explain it a little easier i’d say I am pansexual/bisexual. I have dated all people and will continue to do so. Regardless of gender identity, if I’m attracted to you and we get on, then we have a good chance. I absolutely love horror. Horror games, films, tv shows, books ect. If it’s horror related i’m down. I also absolutely love everything about Halloween & Autumn, its my absolute favourite time of year.  I was born ...

Scream VI (Film Review)

  image taken from the official  Scream  instagram WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD When I heard this film wasn’t going to be set in Woodsboro I wasn’t sure how I felt about it, but it definitely worked just as Scream 2 did. The backdrop to our latest Ghostface murder spree is now New York City. Tara, Chad and Mindy have moved to the city for a fresh start and to start their college life. Sam has also followed on in an attempt to make sure her younger sister stays safe and well doesn’t get murdered. Scream is famous for their opening scenes being kill scenes and as soon as I saw Samara Weaving on screen I knew it wasn’t good news for her character. I wish we would’ve had her in the whole film but unfortunately we didn’t. She was amazing though, I’m a big fan of hers so i’ll accept any crumbs we get from her lol. Following that we then get into the main story, Ghostface hunting down our core four and Miss Gale Weathers. We are introduced to some newbies Danny (Tara and Sam’s n...

 From the other side of the apocalypse  Okay let me fan girl for a second… FALL OUT BOY ARE BACK OMG OMG OMG. Yes, they’ve released two new songs.. Love from the other side which you can listen to  here  and Heartbreak feels so good which you can listen to  here . Anyone who knows me personally or follows me on socials will know that Fall Out Boy are my absolute favourite band and have been since I was twelve years old, so when they started teasing new music I pretty much lost my mind completely. There new single Love from the other side  dropped everywhere on Weds 18th January and I haven’t stopped listening to it since. They then dropped Heartbreak feels so good on the 25th January which is just as good as the firdt single. They went a slightly different route with their last album Mania, which of course is completely fine and I actually really liked it however this new single is giving old school fob vibes and I am living for it. Its giving me 13 ye...
