Thanks Abi for reading the quotes and also thankyou for providing a background to Whittaker Chambers. I knew little about him as well until I listened to a podcast mentioning him. If there is one thing good to come out of this, it's expanded our minds to meeting like minded people and real people through history who have valuable lessons to teach us. Those who are ignorant of what has happened in the past remains a child. One last thing, I think you forgot the outrooowwww at the end. 🤣
I feel I have to brush up on my Solzhenitsyn after Alannah’s brilliant post in reply to The D Word this morning....my post “ooh Abi,this is fucking great” lacks both intellect and gravitas. But fuck it,you know what I’m trying to say! Must try harder 😂 Anyway,Abi has tweaked her nipple and flicked her button today keeping it at my level. Her elephant with its trunk in the biscuit tin was genius,Solzy can do one. Xx
I enjoyed reading the article Abs, let's face it Hancock would sell his children if it would get him off the hook, I used to believe that political leaders had the citizens best interests at heart but quickly came to realise how wrong I was, hence the term career politician. I genuinely believe globalism can't be stopped by new parties, I sadly now believe civil war will eventually be the ending but what will be the outcome is anyones guess.. Be seeing YA.. Chocks away...
Stu, our government does not have our best interests at heart. It has probably taken ‘Covid’ for most to realise this. If globalism cannot be stopped then we are truly fucked. I live in hope. Bring on civil war if that is the only way.
Jan I have a plan, if we give Abs a megaphone at the start all we need is a few helicopter and gun noises and the enemy will shit themselves 🤣 , I'm a genius 🤣
Hi guys how we all doing in this yes communist hellhole!!
Just wanted to say hello as I am struggling to find time to post, having a bit of a problem with my littlen going to bed and sleeping atm, been going on for 3 months and im struggling as not sleeping well with her in with me every night 😮💨 gone 11 and she still up now 🙃 she's 10, hormonal, ocd and ADHD through the roof and also extremely defiant right now, someone bring help !!!!
Not aiding my mood or my plans to move forward this yesr, plus with all the other shit going on, last week I felt proper down abt it all, but our group and you Abi keep me just abt going most days, so thank god you back 🙏
Oh and to top it off Friday, I had to call and book my first mammogram and woman was pleasant enough, have to go to a tesco car park...glam 😁 until she said at the end, and we will need you to wear a mask, would you like a text reminder nearer the time?!! I wanted to say get fooked, no get fucked actually 😡 just said no thank you. I am thinking there may be an awkward situation coming up 🤨🙄 as if its not anxiety inducing as it is!!!
Only 2 mins in to podcast, I've locked myself in the bathroom for some sanity, as hitting my limit!!!
Oh and Abi your Chinese accent last week had me in hoots, and your blanket from your nephews, how precious and something you will treasure forever ❤️
Trudi, hope little KB is doing well 👶 😍 you will have wonderful moments with him in the future telling him all about Ben 💙
Catch up and be back properly soon, I have to get this sleep thing sorted and prob in for a ride for a couple of weeks 😴 but be assured I listen everyday and read all the chat.
Hi Rachel I had my first mammogram last Monday in Newcastle nobody had mask on nurses included all 3 of them in that department & they couldn't have been nicer so don't worry & if they do throw their weight about & ask yout o bullshit/ mask up just say no I can't I know if your feeling a bit low its harder to deal with confrontation. Also just wanted to say you can get a sensory noise machine that plays wind,see, stream water, mosquitoes noise & white noise mine cost£89 and helps with sleeping and deep slow long breaths. I developed really bad tinnitus after an ear infection and never slept for 2 years and wanted to die there was no getting away from it the high pitch noise was torture sheer torture I don't know how I survived thank god it did get slowly better I'm 5 years on and just down to a hiss which can be masked most of the time the sound therapy machine had worked miracles cause when you get your sleep you can cope with life. Best Wishes jane x
Hi Jane, thanks so much for your message, that is really reassuring regarding the mammogram, and I hope your results come back all good, that's the bit you want over and done with isn't it, knowing everything is ok. Is it as painful as my Mum and Sister keep saying, my mum is 86 so no longer has them but my sister gets in a terrible state about them, I am pretty good at gritting my teeth and getting on with things, smears et...it isn't nice is it but what ya gonna do!!
So sorry about your tinnitus, I have always thought that must be like torture as there is no escape, I have a friend that has it, thank goodness yours as got better and you are able to manage it with the sound machine, bless you, sounds like it has been really hard for you and sleep deprivation is horrendous, since I have had my daughter I have never slept like I used to and it hugely affects your life doesnt it! Thank you for that advice, I must get myself one, as I listen to lots of sounds just on Youtube, particularly rain and water. Elena used to like listening to meditation music and waves, but everything I suggest at the moment she just puts a barrier up to, with her ADHD her habits and things she likes can just suddenly change on a whim!
Hi Rachel thank you for your lovely message, well the mammogram wasn't too bad its a bit uncomfortable for a few seconds as they squash your bust in the machine I've got quite a small bust so the nurse is squashing my boob & a bit of boob touching but it was fine the nurse was lovely & to be honest I was more anxious about where I had parked my car & hoping I wouldn't get mugged on route to it as a right shitty area near the hospital, my mum had breast cancer in her late 50' s found from a mammogram & was sorted out quickly she had been on HRT for a while as had a bad menopause so I won't be going anywhere near them. Saying that my menopause ( since on the subject) has been fine so I've been lucky I've had some sweats occasionally but am over them now & glad to see the back of periods. It must be hard at times with your Elena being hormonal & well as her other conditions its a hard & confusing age to start with & you tend to take things out on your nearest & dearest so I hope she gets her rest plus its a strange time of year the Christmas come down bloody freezing outside freezing inside! I'll put my log burner on soon I try to hang on till about 4 pm but so bloody cold today in Newcastle I've had to get my quilt down to wrap up my jack russel Freddy hes such a baby & really feels the cold. Love Abi's podcasts I've only recently found them I saw her on TV a few times & thinks she's great & brave for speaking the truth which is so rare these days. I also like listening to Neil Oliver & Katie hopkins makes me laught too, have you got any favorites besides our Abi? thank god for podcasts & GETTR.com . Have a lovely weekend, best wishes jane xx
Hi again well had a letter this afternoon from the hospital and have an appointment for Monday for further investigation and biopsy so am totally churned up and spinning head. When I rang to confirm the appointment the receptionist asked if I was bringing somebody with Me just made my stomach turn & should find out what's what on Monday I'm absolutely bricking it if I have to have biopsy ill faint I'm so pathetic with needles & pain in general. Looking forward to Abi's podcast gonna put it on when go up to my pit won't be too long had a nice bottle of wine it did help me relax a bit. Goodnight all xxx
Jane, my love. We’re all here for you. Anyone on here who has been through this procedure? Your wisdom & advice would be welcome. Keep us posted. Much love, Abs ❤️
Hi Jane, firstly please forgive me for my late reply, I feel so rude, so sorry!! I am just still having a right time of it at home with Elena, we take a couple of steps forward, and then 10 back!! Taking each day as it comes but it has knocked me off my perch for the NY and my head is all over the place!! Anyway thank you for your lovely message, and most importantly, how did the biopsy go? I am sorry you have had to go back, you must have been worried, any update? Thank you for giving me the lowdown on the actual mammogram, mine is in 2 weeks time, it does worry me somewhat as I went into menopause at 44, when Elena was 3 and it has turned my life upside down, the biggest part of why I have found it hard being a Mum to a very lively little girl!! Bless her, it's not been easy for her with me going through such a change, and I am on HRT, not sure if it is a blessing or a curse, the progesterone makes me feel really shit, but I have awful symptoms without the eostrogen :-( and I am also experiencing bleeding for over a year now on and off, after no periods for years, had scans and they were fine but I have cramps most of the time and something is off for sure! So..after what you say about your Mum, have some concerns. Anyway will keep you posted.
How is the weather up there, bit chilly no doubt, it's bad enough in Surrey! Aww Freddy sounds adorable, I have a cat called Emmy (we call her Moo, as I do the child ha) and she is such a comfort to me, though very spoilt and like a needy toddler sometimes lol!
I too am a fan of Neil Oliver bless him, though whenever I watch him now I just think of Abi doing her Duncan character, have you seen him?? Hilarious! I also listen to Katie Hopkins alot, her Friday Katie's Arms is my highlight at the end of the week, she can go a bit far with some of the things she says, but during this whole shitshow she has been another godsend, like Abi!!! Gosh I like lots of other people, too many now to keep up to date without never being off the phone, I love a bit of true crime and listen to Emma Kenny True Crime on YT every Mon and Weds, Matt Le Tissier is great on Gettr, I am a bit of a fan of Sonia Poulton and her Rise show is good on a Mon and Fri, she uncovers so much and some of her guests are fascinating. I have been listening to alot of Dr Drew as he is talking to alot of whistleblowers and various insiders etc.. And many others, but I will send you to sleep if I carry on :-) !!
Sending loads of love and do let me know how you are doing after the biopsy? xxxx
Hi Rachel I must apologise I've just noticed the long message I sent u in reply didn't send, I'm not the best with technology & send from my phone . I hope your keeping well ? & Elena is doing good does she go to mainstream school & have some nice freinds ? I know kids can be cruel as well as lovely. Rrr your cat Emmy Moo sounds adorable I sent in my messages that didn't send about my run in with a pub cat about 6 weeks ago , he was black with green eyes reminded me of our childhood cat Sid named after sid Vicious ( my brother named him punk days ) well went up & gave him a pet little git bit me on me thumb the barmaid got me some disinfectant Detox kitchen cleaner did the job with bit kitchen towel rrr well these things happen ha ha. My that must have been a struggle with bad menopause & a little one and u being so young we have to through all this hormone shit unfortunately, I remember way back as teenager & was evil with PMT , hope your having a good week xxx
Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time Rachel. That sounds hard going and lack of sleep makes everything so much worse...... hope things improve for you soon. Glad you are still listening in everyday....it keeps me sane too. Everything is so ‘off’,it’s discombobulating ,having the pod everyday has been an absolute lifesaver for me too. Make sure u make time (tell them you’re locking yourself in the bathroom)for that half hour of sanity (and helicopter noises.) Look after yourself too,being a mum is the toughest job at times.
How lovely,a mammogram in Tesco car park! I had mine last year,walked in to the hospital head held high,nurses and receptionists all had their masks on. I was pleasantly surprised,no one even said anything including the masked nurse who was up close and personal copping a feel of my boobs. Its hard going every time,psyching yourself up for a battle but great when it doesn’t happen. Far from it being up to me to tell anyone what medical procedures to have or not but after I had my mammogram I came across lots of info that they are really not good for you, and neither are smears!! If I had my time again I would not be having any of these examinations. Worth doing a little research before you go.
Sending love to you,hang in there and reach out if u need anything xx
Hiya The Jules :-) aww bless you, thank you for your message, just replied to Jan and said it means so much, just being able to get it out of my system a bit with you guys has made me feel better, still tired lolz but better! We must try and arrange with Abi for all of us to get together some time this year, would love to meet everyone!! We can go out and cause some carnage :-) tbh I think I need a good old piss up, I used to be out all the time, now I do fuck all haha!! I have no emojis btw, I am on my laptop!
I was actually thinking the other day, I wonder how good they are you..smears, mammograms, as they are quite invasive arent they and I am not sure if I am right but I am sure I have heard of mammograms causing a lump? Or have I made that up?!! You are right, it is definitely worth doing some research and making an informed decision, rather than do what most of the world has blindly done during the plandemic! Thank you Jules for your advice :-)
Don't worry, I will have my head high, shoulders back, and saying simply No to the mask, it might not end up being an issue but I am prepared for it just in case!
Sending love back and thank you babes for your support xxx
Four Abi Daily’s,brilliant you’d have had a giggle. Hope u are bearing up. I’ve not much advice re sleeping as I was lucky and both mine were good sleepers but routine always helped when possible. I typically couldn’t find the mammogram video but I have a smear one if u want me to send it? It was a girl at my stand in the park was saying she didn’t get hers because her research had shown that mammograms disrupt breast tissue,causing lumps 🤷🏻♀️ not to mention the blast of radiation. The smear swabs also disrupt cells and tissue,and seemingly have ethylene oxide on them like on the pcr tests,carcinogenic but do your own research. I have made some huge medical decisions and changes over the last 3 years that I kicked myself for not thinking about this 😂
It would be great if we could all meet up at some point.....I don’t doubt we would get along and have a hoot. It’s been a lovely group to be a part of. Might have to try and get something organised,something to look forward to.
Hi Jules, I am having a mare here, have just written 2 replies to you on my laptop, they posted and then disappeared ffs!!! So am back on my phone, I am not a very good texter, i am a whats app voice message kind of gal, my mates have to put up with me yakking on lol!! So I find it easier to type on laptop but won't be doing that anymore!! If they appear you will have 3 different replies nooo!!!
Anyway, I hope you are ok hun, am so sorry I hadn't replied to this, only realised when checking thru emails, honestly I don't know my arse from my elbow atm!!!
Still haven't listened to yesterday's yet so will be another double dose day!!
Yes would defo be interested in the smear video, I was due to have mammo tomorrow, but was so unsure abt it, however my car being picked up in morning for mot so I can't get there now anyway, so have cancelled and will be doing some proper research, as am concerned, for the reasons you said!! Like you i want to be educated on everything, prob been too blaise in the past, was saying to my mum on Sunday that I dont know why I had the flu jab when I was pregnant, never had it before, I just did cause they said I needed it, I regret that massively, but my pregnancy circumstances weren't exactly a 'fairy tale ' so I was very preoccupied by what lie ahead as a single mum!! We live and learn hey, but I do worry if it had any impact, as elena as her adhd etc..my mum said don't be ridiculous, but she's 86 and doesn't know or understand what we know!!
If any of the ladies of mammogram age (how depressing 😆) see this, what are your thoughts on them?
Right, need to catch up whilst cooking dinner, and ill try and br back in the room later!
Hey Rachel. Tough times with your little girl bet it takes u back to when they were babies with that sleep deprivation. So,I had my mammogram last year and it was only about a week later I read some articles about them being another thing we don’t need and if anything can create issues. Smears the same....but tbh I didn’t go in too deep having just had the mammogram 😩 I have had so many invasive procedures in my time which in retrospect I might’ve declined if I knew then what I know now. If I had my time again I wouldn’t have any smears or mammograms much like we all feel now about giving our kids vaccinations in the past. I will see if I can find any of the articles for you. Each to their own though just have a look into it. Would definitely love to meet up with you all this year that would be amazing.
Hey TheJules how are you? I am sorry :-( so late with replying to you guys and your lovely messages of support back, I have listened to 4 Abi podcasts today, I am that behind!! it has been the usual fun and games here with bedtime, she has had 2 nights in her bed since this time last week, and hoping tonight, about to start trying to wind her down, she is in the shower and then I am going to try and sit her down and look through a book I have called My Hidden Chimp, it helps children to understand and manage their emotions, thinking etc.. I think I may need it more than her to be honest :-) :-)
Yes defo interested in looking at some info on the mammograms, mine is in 2 weeks time, and if anything after this last 3 years, I have learnt to research everything!
Right, wish me luck, I am hoping to be in my bath at 9pm listening to another favourite person Emma Kenny and her YT True Crime on a Weds, she is doing the case of that piece of shit that was jailed in Dec for murdering beautiful Zara Aleena, she does real deep dives into these criminals and it if fascinating, though often very traumatic to listen to :-(
Rachel, I feel for you not getting much sleep. I really hope you can get some help with your daughter and dealing with her problems. It must all be a nightmare for you.
I had a mammogram and scan at Maidstone hospital last year. I didn’t wear a mask, wasn’t asked to and most of the nurses and doctors in the clinic were not wearing masks either. I would just go along to your mobile unit and say that you are exempt. Legally they cannot ask you why you are exempt. Say that you will make a complaint against them if they refuse a mammogram as it is not legal for them to deny you. Good luck with it. We shouldn’t still have to be dealing with this ridiculous mask issue.
Hi Jan, thank you so much for your reply, things are a bit rubbish but just being able to release it out of my head is a massive help, and you guys with your messages of support, it means so much!
She tried in her bed last night but couldn't sleep so moved her into mine at 11.30, I am going to sleep in her bed with her tomorrow night, once she has done the first night I think she will be fine again, she is just manifesting those thoughts that she simply cannot sleep on her own in her room! I need to remember how tough it is and have more patience, I am just so sleep deprived and completely useless during the day, I had planned to be working out every day since new year lol !! We will get there!
Thank you so much for your advice regarding the mammogram, I was planning to say that, it just frustrates me that we even have to still have these conversations, it plays on my mind because I get really angry, but I will be cool calm and collected :-)
I hope you and hubby are both ok lovely Jan. I am typing this on my laptop, and do not have emojis, but sending lots of heart ones!!! R xxx
Hi Rachel, sleep deprivation is just awful because we feel so wrecked physically and mentally the following day. I hope your lovely daughter will soon to get back to sleeping in her own bed. It’s impossible to work out and get fit when the body is exhausted before you even start.
My husband had an appointment at a private hospital yesterday. Signs saying masks are mandatory posted everywhere and little boxes of paper masks strategically placed. I was approached by a nurse and told that I was required to wear a mask. I said that ‘mandatory’ requires my consent, which I do not give because I am exempt. She said OK but they were not happy. I am sure that if you stand up to these bastards when you go for your mammogram you will be ok 💖
Hello lovely Jan, it's me, apologising again for such a late reply, we are making progress..slowly, bit back and forth, Monday night she was brilliant in her bed, asleep at 9.30 ish and no waking up, last night aghhhhhhh.....couldnt sleep and in the end I had to put her in mine at 12.30am! Rinse and repeat will be starting in the next hour :-) :-) I have to try and laugh about it or I will go more insane than I already feel!
Oh my goodness about the hospital, it really is painful isnt it, I will stand up to the bastards Jan, I am going to keep my cool and like you said before, I will simply say it is my legal right to have the procedure and I will simply complain and re-book, if they try to make things difficult for me. I am hardened to all of this now, in fact I will turn it around and say for health reasons I am not prepared to wear a mask, as it is basic common sense to know they make you sicker! And I will whip out the screenshot of the text on the mask box that says it will not protect you from Covid-19, honestly it really is clown world!!
Right, off to start the bedtime routine, whatever that is these days :-) :-) Lots of love Jan
Hey Rachel, never apologise for a late reply, we all have so much going on in our lives. I’ve just been away for 10 days, so although I’ve listened to the podcast and made brief comments, I haven’t had time to reply to anyone in person. It’s me that’s late now babe!
I hope things are improving with Elena with her sleeping. It’s so hard living with sleep deprivation. You know best and you have probably tried everything but is it worth talking to Dr Dave Cartland, www.drcartland.com He may have some different ideas for Elena and he is on the same page as us which is a big help.
Let me know how you get on with the mammogram, 🤞for you.
Excellent as usual Abi. I am going to look at Whittaker Chambers, sounds very interesting. So much out there, never hear of much in the mainstream. Thanks to all the wonderful substack fam 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Jules, I am so sorry, am just going through my emails and realised I never replied to you, honestly I dont know my arse from my elbow atm!!! Oh, and am retyping this, as I literally just posted a reply, and I was reading it through quickly to make sure it made some kind of sense lol, and it just disappeared in front of my eyes...weird!! So I am doing it again! If it does reappear, then I apologise for 2!
Anyway, hope you are ok, in the never ending fucking madness we are dealing with day by day, dont get me started on GB News!
Yes, would defo be interested in the smear video, like you I want to make sure I am as educated as possible moving forward, on everything, I have been too blaise in the past (have I spelt that wrong lol) I was saying to my Mum on Sunday that I dont know why I had the flu jab when I was pregnant! They told me I needed it so I just did, but tbh my pregnancy wasnt in the best of 'fairy tale' circumstances and it was quite stressful so I was preoccupied with the panic of what lie ahead as a single parent eek!! Just hope it never impacted Elena, you just don't know do you, she has her ADHD and anxiety, my mum says I am being ridiculous but at 86 she doesn't understand what we do!!
I was due for my mammo tomorrow, and really was not feeling at ease about it, for the reasons you say, but now my car is being picked up for MOT so cant get there anyway, and have re-arranged. Gives me some time to do some proper research and make a decision, I just dont know what to do!!!
If any of the other ladeez of menopausal age (how depressing ha) see this, what are your thoughts??
Right, sending load of love hun, I havent even listened to yesterdays pod yet, so will be another double dose day :-) :-) Oh and I am defo in for Abi's birthday party, that would be amazing, what a (messy) blast it will be, I still haven't commented on that yet, so I will try and be back in the room later!!
Hi Jules, bloody hell am so sorry, I am must going through my emails and realised I never replied to you, honestly I am all over the place at the moment, dont know my arse from my elbow!!! I havent even listened to yesterdays pod yet, so will be another double dose today :-)
I hear everything you are saying about smears and mammos, yes please would be interested in the smear video you have, I want to make sure I am as knowledgeable as I can moving forward, like you I have been far to blaise in the past (have I spelt that wrong lol) I was due for my mammo tomorrow but wasnt sure, but my car being picked up for MOT in morning, so I cant get there anyway, so have re-arranged atm. BUT..I am really not sure I want it done for the reasons you have said, I just dont know what to do!!! Anyway got a bit of time to do my homework!
If any of the other ladeez of mammogram age (how depressing ha) see this, what are your thoughts on it??
I am super excited of the thought of meeting up for Abi's birthday, which I have yet to even comment on ffs!! That would be awesome, what a blast it would be!!!
Lots of love for now Jules, and I will be back in the room hopefully later once I am caught up xxxxx
No worries. Are things settling down any at home and are u getting anymore sleep?
Yeah do some research,I will try and look for the video again.....I’ve done that much research on so much stuff in the last few years that I can’t find half the stuff I’ve saved or where I’ve saved it. How do I private msg u the smear video?
Abi’s party will be brilliant,something to look forward to....it will be such fun all meeting up...made me smile just thinking about it 😃 xx
Hi Abi went to RVI yesterday they have found a 2cm mass on right breast the mammogram picked up the radiographer couldn't feel a lump ( which is good in the scale of things)took images & 3 biopsies find out results a week Monday 6th spoke to nurses afterwards couldn't have had nicer nurses as shiting mesell, a lot calmer today when get your head around stuff plus if it is bad news it's so little get surgery radiographer fingers & everything else crossed, the breast clinic was very busy the tests we have to go through in life. Off on holiday Saturday to Braemar got the best butchers on earth( told you im all about the food) xx
Reminds me of me and my brother when we were kids. We would play forts and he would tell me that my gun noises were shit. Then he’d stop me playing. Then he’d steal my beads from my jewellery box to use as bombs. Then I kicked the door open and broke his nose. I felt bad about that. Anyway thanks for taking me back Abs 😂
Thanks Abi for reading the quotes and also thankyou for providing a background to Whittaker Chambers. I knew little about him as well until I listened to a podcast mentioning him. If there is one thing good to come out of this, it's expanded our minds to meeting like minded people and real people through history who have valuable lessons to teach us. Those who are ignorant of what has happened in the past remains a child. One last thing, I think you forgot the outrooowwww at the end. 🤣
Thanks for sharing Alannah, interesting indeed and yes, she bloody did! 😂💕
Haha 😄🤣
I feel I have to brush up on my Solzhenitsyn after Alannah’s brilliant post in reply to The D Word this morning....my post “ooh Abi,this is fucking great” lacks both intellect and gravitas. But fuck it,you know what I’m trying to say! Must try harder 😂 Anyway,Abi has tweaked her nipple and flicked her button today keeping it at my level. Her elephant with its trunk in the biscuit tin was genius,Solzy can do one. Xx
😂😂😂
I’m tuning in to hear random sound effects and then Abi saying she’s flicked her button.
Never heard so much smut, glad you weren’t sexually staring.... Or were you? 😬😬😂
Pure filth 😱😳
Great start to the week and Alannah’s post with quotes was exceptional 👏👏
The Crunt is back!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
WHERE WAS THE OUTRO??
💕💖💕
No outro Trudi, Abi is too busy and has to get back to her 3 blokes in Basingstoke!
It’s that bloody sexual staring that’s got her in this mess 😂😂💕
😂😂
I enjoyed reading the article Abs, let's face it Hancock would sell his children if it would get him off the hook, I used to believe that political leaders had the citizens best interests at heart but quickly came to realise how wrong I was, hence the term career politician. I genuinely believe globalism can't be stopped by new parties, I sadly now believe civil war will eventually be the ending but what will be the outcome is anyones guess.. Be seeing YA.. Chocks away...
Stu, our government does not have our best interests at heart. It has probably taken ‘Covid’ for most to realise this. If globalism cannot be stopped then we are truly fucked. I live in hope. Bring on civil war if that is the only way.
Jan I have a plan, if we give Abs a megaphone at the start all we need is a few helicopter and gun noises and the enemy will shit themselves 🤣 , I'm a genius 🤣
😂😂😂
Stu, you absolutely are a genius 👍💯
🤭🤭🤭
Jan, please don’t encourage her with the sound effects 🚁🔫💣😂💕
😂😂
“Lions care not for the opinions of sheep” just brilliant.
That sound was not a Colt 45 btw😂 I know guns, my brother in Arizona taught me!
With communism, everyone is trampled upon except the elite.
Krisin could be with us, but he decided to ‘mute’ the conversation with you Abi.
Hi guys how we all doing in this yes communist hellhole!!
Just wanted to say hello as I am struggling to find time to post, having a bit of a problem with my littlen going to bed and sleeping atm, been going on for 3 months and im struggling as not sleeping well with her in with me every night 😮💨 gone 11 and she still up now 🙃 she's 10, hormonal, ocd and ADHD through the roof and also extremely defiant right now, someone bring help !!!!
Not aiding my mood or my plans to move forward this yesr, plus with all the other shit going on, last week I felt proper down abt it all, but our group and you Abi keep me just abt going most days, so thank god you back 🙏
Oh and to top it off Friday, I had to call and book my first mammogram and woman was pleasant enough, have to go to a tesco car park...glam 😁 until she said at the end, and we will need you to wear a mask, would you like a text reminder nearer the time?!! I wanted to say get fooked, no get fucked actually 😡 just said no thank you. I am thinking there may be an awkward situation coming up 🤨🙄 as if its not anxiety inducing as it is!!!
Only 2 mins in to podcast, I've locked myself in the bathroom for some sanity, as hitting my limit!!!
Oh and Abi your Chinese accent last week had me in hoots, and your blanket from your nephews, how precious and something you will treasure forever ❤️
Trudi, hope little KB is doing well 👶 😍 you will have wonderful moments with him in the future telling him all about Ben 💙
Catch up and be back properly soon, I have to get this sleep thing sorted and prob in for a ride for a couple of weeks 😴 but be assured I listen everyday and read all the chat.

Hi Rachel I had my first mammogram last Monday in Newcastle nobody had mask on nurses included all 3 of them in that department & they couldn't have been nicer so don't worry & if they do throw their weight about & ask yout o bullshit/ mask up just say no I can't I know if your feeling a bit low its harder to deal with confrontation. Also just wanted to say you can get a sensory noise machine that plays wind,see, stream water, mosquitoes noise & white noise mine cost£89 and helps with sleeping and deep slow long breaths. I developed really bad tinnitus after an ear infection and never slept for 2 years and wanted to die there was no getting away from it the high pitch noise was torture sheer torture I don't know how I survived thank god it did get slowly better I'm 5 years on and just down to a hiss which can be masked most of the time the sound therapy machine had worked miracles cause when you get your sleep you can cope with life. Best Wishes jane x
Hi Jane, thanks so much for your message, that is really reassuring regarding the mammogram, and I hope your results come back all good, that's the bit you want over and done with isn't it, knowing everything is ok. Is it as painful as my Mum and Sister keep saying, my mum is 86 so no longer has them but my sister gets in a terrible state about them, I am pretty good at gritting my teeth and getting on with things, smears et...it isn't nice is it but what ya gonna do!!
So sorry about your tinnitus, I have always thought that must be like torture as there is no escape, I have a friend that has it, thank goodness yours as got better and you are able to manage it with the sound machine, bless you, sounds like it has been really hard for you and sleep deprivation is horrendous, since I have had my daughter I have never slept like I used to and it hugely affects your life doesnt it! Thank you for that advice, I must get myself one, as I listen to lots of sounds just on Youtube, particularly rain and water. Elena used to like listening to meditation music and waves, but everything I suggest at the moment she just puts a barrier up to, with her ADHD her habits and things she likes can just suddenly change on a whim!
Best wishes back hun, lots of love

Hi Rachel thank you for your lovely message, well the mammogram wasn't too bad its a bit uncomfortable for a few seconds as they squash your bust in the machine I've got quite a small bust so the nurse is squashing my boob & a bit of boob touching but it was fine the nurse was lovely & to be honest I was more anxious about where I had parked my car & hoping I wouldn't get mugged on route to it as a right shitty area near the hospital, my mum had breast cancer in her late 50' s found from a mammogram & was sorted out quickly she had been on HRT for a while as had a bad menopause so I won't be going anywhere near them. Saying that my menopause ( since on the subject) has been fine so I've been lucky I've had some sweats occasionally but am over them now & glad to see the back of periods. It must be hard at times with your Elena being hormonal & well as her other conditions its a hard & confusing age to start with & you tend to take things out on your nearest & dearest so I hope she gets her rest plus its a strange time of year the Christmas come down bloody freezing outside freezing inside! I'll put my log burner on soon I try to hang on till about 4 pm but so bloody cold today in Newcastle I've had to get my quilt down to wrap up my jack russel Freddy hes such a baby & really feels the cold. Love Abi's podcasts I've only recently found them I saw her on TV a few times & thinks she's great & brave for speaking the truth which is so rare these days. I also like listening to Neil Oliver & Katie hopkins makes me laught too, have you got any favorites besides our Abi? thank god for podcasts & GETTR.com . Have a lovely weekend, best wishes jane xx
❤️🙏
Hi again well had a letter this afternoon from the hospital and have an appointment for Monday for further investigation and biopsy so am totally churned up and spinning head. When I rang to confirm the appointment the receptionist asked if I was bringing somebody with Me just made my stomach turn & should find out what's what on Monday I'm absolutely bricking it if I have to have biopsy ill faint I'm so pathetic with needles & pain in general. Looking forward to Abi's podcast gonna put it on when go up to my pit won't be too long had a nice bottle of wine it did help me relax a bit. Goodnight all xxx
Jane, my love. We’re all here for you. Anyone on here who has been through this procedure? Your wisdom & advice would be welcome. Keep us posted. Much love, Abs ❤️
Hi Jane, firstly please forgive me for my late reply, I feel so rude, so sorry!! I am just still having a right time of it at home with Elena, we take a couple of steps forward, and then 10 back!! Taking each day as it comes but it has knocked me off my perch for the NY and my head is all over the place!! Anyway thank you for your lovely message, and most importantly, how did the biopsy go? I am sorry you have had to go back, you must have been worried, any update? Thank you for giving me the lowdown on the actual mammogram, mine is in 2 weeks time, it does worry me somewhat as I went into menopause at 44, when Elena was 3 and it has turned my life upside down, the biggest part of why I have found it hard being a Mum to a very lively little girl!! Bless her, it's not been easy for her with me going through such a change, and I am on HRT, not sure if it is a blessing or a curse, the progesterone makes me feel really shit, but I have awful symptoms without the eostrogen :-( and I am also experiencing bleeding for over a year now on and off, after no periods for years, had scans and they were fine but I have cramps most of the time and something is off for sure! So..after what you say about your Mum, have some concerns. Anyway will keep you posted.
How is the weather up there, bit chilly no doubt, it's bad enough in Surrey! Aww Freddy sounds adorable, I have a cat called Emmy (we call her Moo, as I do the child ha) and she is such a comfort to me, though very spoilt and like a needy toddler sometimes lol!
I too am a fan of Neil Oliver bless him, though whenever I watch him now I just think of Abi doing her Duncan character, have you seen him?? Hilarious! I also listen to Katie Hopkins alot, her Friday Katie's Arms is my highlight at the end of the week, she can go a bit far with some of the things she says, but during this whole shitshow she has been another godsend, like Abi!!! Gosh I like lots of other people, too many now to keep up to date without never being off the phone, I love a bit of true crime and listen to Emma Kenny True Crime on YT every Mon and Weds, Matt Le Tissier is great on Gettr, I am a bit of a fan of Sonia Poulton and her Rise show is good on a Mon and Fri, she uncovers so much and some of her guests are fascinating. I have been listening to alot of Dr Drew as he is talking to alot of whistleblowers and various insiders etc.. And many others, but I will send you to sleep if I carry on :-) !!
Sending loads of love and do let me know how you are doing after the biopsy? xxxx
Hi Rachel I must apologise I've just noticed the long message I sent u in reply didn't send, I'm not the best with technology & send from my phone . I hope your keeping well ? & Elena is doing good does she go to mainstream school & have some nice freinds ? I know kids can be cruel as well as lovely. Rrr your cat Emmy Moo sounds adorable I sent in my messages that didn't send about my run in with a pub cat about 6 weeks ago , he was black with green eyes reminded me of our childhood cat Sid named after sid Vicious ( my brother named him punk days ) well went up & gave him a pet little git bit me on me thumb the barmaid got me some disinfectant Detox kitchen cleaner did the job with bit kitchen towel rrr well these things happen ha ha. My that must have been a struggle with bad menopause & a little one and u being so young we have to through all this hormone shit unfortunately, I remember way back as teenager & was evil with PMT , hope your having a good week xxx
Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time Rachel. That sounds hard going and lack of sleep makes everything so much worse...... hope things improve for you soon. Glad you are still listening in everyday....it keeps me sane too. Everything is so ‘off’,it’s discombobulating ,having the pod everyday has been an absolute lifesaver for me too. Make sure u make time (tell them you’re locking yourself in the bathroom)for that half hour of sanity (and helicopter noises.) Look after yourself too,being a mum is the toughest job at times.
How lovely,a mammogram in Tesco car park! I had mine last year,walked in to the hospital head held high,nurses and receptionists all had their masks on. I was pleasantly surprised,no one even said anything including the masked nurse who was up close and personal copping a feel of my boobs. Its hard going every time,psyching yourself up for a battle but great when it doesn’t happen. Far from it being up to me to tell anyone what medical procedures to have or not but after I had my mammogram I came across lots of info that they are really not good for you, and neither are smears!! If I had my time again I would not be having any of these examinations. Worth doing a little research before you go.
Sending love to you,hang in there and reach out if u need anything xx
Hiya The Jules :-) aww bless you, thank you for your message, just replied to Jan and said it means so much, just being able to get it out of my system a bit with you guys has made me feel better, still tired lolz but better! We must try and arrange with Abi for all of us to get together some time this year, would love to meet everyone!! We can go out and cause some carnage :-) tbh I think I need a good old piss up, I used to be out all the time, now I do fuck all haha!! I have no emojis btw, I am on my laptop!
I was actually thinking the other day, I wonder how good they are you..smears, mammograms, as they are quite invasive arent they and I am not sure if I am right but I am sure I have heard of mammograms causing a lump? Or have I made that up?!! You are right, it is definitely worth doing some research and making an informed decision, rather than do what most of the world has blindly done during the plandemic! Thank you Jules for your advice :-)
Don't worry, I will have my head high, shoulders back, and saying simply No to the mask, it might not end up being an issue but I am prepared for it just in case!
Sending love back and thank you babes for your support xxx
Four Abi Daily’s,brilliant you’d have had a giggle. Hope u are bearing up. I’ve not much advice re sleeping as I was lucky and both mine were good sleepers but routine always helped when possible. I typically couldn’t find the mammogram video but I have a smear one if u want me to send it? It was a girl at my stand in the park was saying she didn’t get hers because her research had shown that mammograms disrupt breast tissue,causing lumps 🤷🏻♀️ not to mention the blast of radiation. The smear swabs also disrupt cells and tissue,and seemingly have ethylene oxide on them like on the pcr tests,carcinogenic but do your own research. I have made some huge medical decisions and changes over the last 3 years that I kicked myself for not thinking about this 😂
It would be great if we could all meet up at some point.....I don’t doubt we would get along and have a hoot. It’s been a lovely group to be a part of. Might have to try and get something organised,something to look forward to.
Here’s to a good nights sleep 🤞
Jules xx
Hi Jules, I am having a mare here, have just written 2 replies to you on my laptop, they posted and then disappeared ffs!!! So am back on my phone, I am not a very good texter, i am a whats app voice message kind of gal, my mates have to put up with me yakking on lol!! So I find it easier to type on laptop but won't be doing that anymore!! If they appear you will have 3 different replies nooo!!!
Anyway, I hope you are ok hun, am so sorry I hadn't replied to this, only realised when checking thru emails, honestly I don't know my arse from my elbow atm!!!
Still haven't listened to yesterday's yet so will be another double dose day!!
Yes would defo be interested in the smear video, I was due to have mammo tomorrow, but was so unsure abt it, however my car being picked up in morning for mot so I can't get there now anyway, so have cancelled and will be doing some proper research, as am concerned, for the reasons you said!! Like you i want to be educated on everything, prob been too blaise in the past, was saying to my mum on Sunday that I dont know why I had the flu jab when I was pregnant, never had it before, I just did cause they said I needed it, I regret that massively, but my pregnancy circumstances weren't exactly a 'fairy tale ' so I was very preoccupied by what lie ahead as a single mum!! We live and learn hey, but I do worry if it had any impact, as elena as her adhd etc..my mum said don't be ridiculous, but she's 86 and doesn't know or understand what we know!!
If any of the ladies of mammogram age (how depressing 😆) see this, what are your thoughts on them?
Right, need to catch up whilst cooking dinner, and ill try and br back in the room later!
Hope you ok hun, speak soon
Love Rach xxx
Hey Rachel. Tough times with your little girl bet it takes u back to when they were babies with that sleep deprivation. So,I had my mammogram last year and it was only about a week later I read some articles about them being another thing we don’t need and if anything can create issues. Smears the same....but tbh I didn’t go in too deep having just had the mammogram 😩 I have had so many invasive procedures in my time which in retrospect I might’ve declined if I knew then what I know now. If I had my time again I wouldn’t have any smears or mammograms much like we all feel now about giving our kids vaccinations in the past. I will see if I can find any of the articles for you. Each to their own though just have a look into it. Would definitely love to meet up with you all this year that would be amazing.
Hope u get a sleep tonight xx
Hey TheJules how are you? I am sorry :-( so late with replying to you guys and your lovely messages of support back, I have listened to 4 Abi podcasts today, I am that behind!! it has been the usual fun and games here with bedtime, she has had 2 nights in her bed since this time last week, and hoping tonight, about to start trying to wind her down, she is in the shower and then I am going to try and sit her down and look through a book I have called My Hidden Chimp, it helps children to understand and manage their emotions, thinking etc.. I think I may need it more than her to be honest :-) :-)
Yes defo interested in looking at some info on the mammograms, mine is in 2 weeks time, and if anything after this last 3 years, I have learnt to research everything!
Right, wish me luck, I am hoping to be in my bath at 9pm listening to another favourite person Emma Kenny and her YT True Crime on a Weds, she is doing the case of that piece of shit that was jailed in Dec for murdering beautiful Zara Aleena, she does real deep dives into these criminals and it if fascinating, though often very traumatic to listen to :-(
Sending love Jules
R xxxx
Sending hugs x
Thank you Kirsty 😊 xx
Rachel, I feel for you not getting much sleep. I really hope you can get some help with your daughter and dealing with her problems. It must all be a nightmare for you.
I had a mammogram and scan at Maidstone hospital last year. I didn’t wear a mask, wasn’t asked to and most of the nurses and doctors in the clinic were not wearing masks either. I would just go along to your mobile unit and say that you are exempt. Legally they cannot ask you why you are exempt. Say that you will make a complaint against them if they refuse a mammogram as it is not legal for them to deny you. Good luck with it. We shouldn’t still have to be dealing with this ridiculous mask issue.
Take good care of yourself Rachel 💖
Hi Jan, thank you so much for your reply, things are a bit rubbish but just being able to release it out of my head is a massive help, and you guys with your messages of support, it means so much!
She tried in her bed last night but couldn't sleep so moved her into mine at 11.30, I am going to sleep in her bed with her tomorrow night, once she has done the first night I think she will be fine again, she is just manifesting those thoughts that she simply cannot sleep on her own in her room! I need to remember how tough it is and have more patience, I am just so sleep deprived and completely useless during the day, I had planned to be working out every day since new year lol !! We will get there!
Thank you so much for your advice regarding the mammogram, I was planning to say that, it just frustrates me that we even have to still have these conversations, it plays on my mind because I get really angry, but I will be cool calm and collected :-)
I hope you and hubby are both ok lovely Jan. I am typing this on my laptop, and do not have emojis, but sending lots of heart ones!!! R xxx
Hi Rachel, sleep deprivation is just awful because we feel so wrecked physically and mentally the following day. I hope your lovely daughter will soon to get back to sleeping in her own bed. It’s impossible to work out and get fit when the body is exhausted before you even start.
My husband had an appointment at a private hospital yesterday. Signs saying masks are mandatory posted everywhere and little boxes of paper masks strategically placed. I was approached by a nurse and told that I was required to wear a mask. I said that ‘mandatory’ requires my consent, which I do not give because I am exempt. She said OK but they were not happy. I am sure that if you stand up to these bastards when you go for your mammogram you will be ok 💖
Hello lovely Jan, it's me, apologising again for such a late reply, we are making progress..slowly, bit back and forth, Monday night she was brilliant in her bed, asleep at 9.30 ish and no waking up, last night aghhhhhhh.....couldnt sleep and in the end I had to put her in mine at 12.30am! Rinse and repeat will be starting in the next hour :-) :-) I have to try and laugh about it or I will go more insane than I already feel!
Oh my goodness about the hospital, it really is painful isnt it, I will stand up to the bastards Jan, I am going to keep my cool and like you said before, I will simply say it is my legal right to have the procedure and I will simply complain and re-book, if they try to make things difficult for me. I am hardened to all of this now, in fact I will turn it around and say for health reasons I am not prepared to wear a mask, as it is basic common sense to know they make you sicker! And I will whip out the screenshot of the text on the mask box that says it will not protect you from Covid-19, honestly it really is clown world!!
Right, off to start the bedtime routine, whatever that is these days :-) :-) Lots of love Jan
Rach xxx
Hey Rachel, never apologise for a late reply, we all have so much going on in our lives. I’ve just been away for 10 days, so although I’ve listened to the podcast and made brief comments, I haven’t had time to reply to anyone in person. It’s me that’s late now babe!
I hope things are improving with Elena with her sleeping. It’s so hard living with sleep deprivation. You know best and you have probably tried everything but is it worth talking to Dr Dave Cartland, www.drcartland.com He may have some different ideas for Elena and he is on the same page as us which is a big help.
Let me know how you get on with the mammogram, 🤞for you.
Much love, Jan xx💖
Excellent as usual Abi. I am going to look at Whittaker Chambers, sounds very interesting. So much out there, never hear of much in the mainstream. Thanks to all the wonderful substack fam 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
"Spines like cooked tagliatelle" hahaha . Oh Abi you do have a way with words!
I forgot to say yesterday that Kisin bloke was bloody rude. I have a feeling that in in the near future he will come to regret his stance!
Konstantin is so far up his own arse, he can lick his own eyebrows.
👍😂
Hi Jules, I am so sorry, am just going through my emails and realised I never replied to you, honestly I dont know my arse from my elbow atm!!! Oh, and am retyping this, as I literally just posted a reply, and I was reading it through quickly to make sure it made some kind of sense lol, and it just disappeared in front of my eyes...weird!! So I am doing it again! If it does reappear, then I apologise for 2!
Anyway, hope you are ok, in the never ending fucking madness we are dealing with day by day, dont get me started on GB News!
Yes, would defo be interested in the smear video, like you I want to make sure I am as educated as possible moving forward, on everything, I have been too blaise in the past (have I spelt that wrong lol) I was saying to my Mum on Sunday that I dont know why I had the flu jab when I was pregnant! They told me I needed it so I just did, but tbh my pregnancy wasnt in the best of 'fairy tale' circumstances and it was quite stressful so I was preoccupied with the panic of what lie ahead as a single parent eek!! Just hope it never impacted Elena, you just don't know do you, she has her ADHD and anxiety, my mum says I am being ridiculous but at 86 she doesn't understand what we do!!
I was due for my mammo tomorrow, and really was not feeling at ease about it, for the reasons you say, but now my car is being picked up for MOT so cant get there anyway, and have re-arranged. Gives me some time to do some proper research and make a decision, I just dont know what to do!!!
If any of the other ladeez of menopausal age (how depressing ha) see this, what are your thoughts??
Right, sending load of love hun, I havent even listened to yesterdays pod yet, so will be another double dose day :-) :-) Oh and I am defo in for Abi's birthday party, that would be amazing, what a (messy) blast it will be, I still haven't commented on that yet, so I will try and be back in the room later!!
Spk soon The Jules
Rach xxx
PS - Hope this one does not delete itself!
Hi Jules, bloody hell am so sorry, I am must going through my emails and realised I never replied to you, honestly I am all over the place at the moment, dont know my arse from my elbow!!! I havent even listened to yesterdays pod yet, so will be another double dose today :-)
I hear everything you are saying about smears and mammos, yes please would be interested in the smear video you have, I want to make sure I am as knowledgeable as I can moving forward, like you I have been far to blaise in the past (have I spelt that wrong lol) I was due for my mammo tomorrow but wasnt sure, but my car being picked up for MOT in morning, so I cant get there anyway, so have re-arranged atm. BUT..I am really not sure I want it done for the reasons you have said, I just dont know what to do!!! Anyway got a bit of time to do my homework!
If any of the other ladeez of mammogram age (how depressing ha) see this, what are your thoughts on it??
I am super excited of the thought of meeting up for Abi's birthday, which I have yet to even comment on ffs!! That would be awesome, what a blast it would be!!!
Lots of love for now Jules, and I will be back in the room hopefully later once I am caught up xxxxx
Hey Rachel.
No worries. Are things settling down any at home and are u getting anymore sleep?
Yeah do some research,I will try and look for the video again.....I’ve done that much research on so much stuff in the last few years that I can’t find half the stuff I’ve saved or where I’ve saved it. How do I private msg u the smear video?
Abi’s party will be brilliant,something to look forward to....it will be such fun all meeting up...made me smile just thinking about it 😃 xx
Hi Abi went to RVI yesterday they have found a 2cm mass on right breast the mammogram picked up the radiographer couldn't feel a lump ( which is good in the scale of things)took images & 3 biopsies find out results a week Monday 6th spoke to nurses afterwards couldn't have had nicer nurses as shiting mesell, a lot calmer today when get your head around stuff plus if it is bad news it's so little get surgery radiographer fingers & everything else crossed, the breast clinic was very busy the tests we have to go through in life. Off on holiday Saturday to Braemar got the best butchers on earth( told you im all about the food) xx
Thank you Abi x I saw the first news edition from Cathy crunt this afternoon that made me laugh best therapy for anybody laughter x
Just caught up with this one.
I love it when you can’t speak for giggling.
Reminds me of me and my brother when we were kids. We would play forts and he would tell me that my gun noises were shit. Then he’d stop me playing. Then he’d steal my beads from my jewellery box to use as bombs. Then I kicked the door open and broke his nose. I felt bad about that. Anyway thanks for taking me back Abs 😂
All the 'isms' are different tactics that allow the banks to maintain total control. It's well documented by Eustace Mullins in his book The Curse of Canaan. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Curse-Canaan-Eustace-Clarence-Mullins/dp/1910220337
