So on Sunday it's our 12th wedding anniversary (aaawwww!). A few wee fun facts for you about 12th Wedding Anniversaries & 24 November. I like doing shit like this.

For years, my doctors have dismissed my symptoms as being in my head (even though I suffer from the physical complaints of PCOS). Last time I was at the doctors, I had done lots of research into the problems I was having with my irregular blood sugars. I took along evidence and still this horrible doctor refused to listen to me. I to...
