Hi Kris

Sorry just giggled about the injections as when i first did mine it took me a while as i was back then a total wimp.

I hadn’t either thought about the injections and over coming my fear of needles. My husband offered to do it for me which was sweet (or maybe getting his own back for how much i moaned at him when i was pregnant). It took me 20 mins to get my head focused, had a hard boiled sweet and concentrated on the flavor of that rather than what i was doing. Silly i know but it worked (and a chocolate bar waiting for me after) then from then on the following ones were a doodle. Looking back i can’t believe how much i worked myself up. I was never not going to do it but for me that was my wall and i smashed it x
