Melbourne Cup has been an Australian tradition for 146 yearz. This year i got to go. For anyone who knowz- the best part is dressing up Full STOP!!

Here's some of my picz!!

Me at home before I left...



With my friends and cousin before leaving...





And we went to the Lóreal Powder room...got my nails done and got a pack of free Lóreal makeup!! (i look haggered i had fainted before hand )




I only did a group Trifecta- we had the two winning horses but lost out!! My mum at home won $170!! But it's all good- while i didn't win any dinero- i saved myself fifty bucks cause an old man decided to choose us to let us in for free with his passes!!

It was a scorcher today too!!

hope y'all are wellz.

Awww thankyou babez!! My mum made the hairpiece!!

you looked very nice my mother in-law won all my money on our at home sweep

charlottegelin said:

Hehe thankz Charlotte!! Aww damn!! Well- i didn't win anything either!! I should have just said put win-in-place for Makybe Diva- but at that stage i wasn't well and could barley speak. My mum however won a quinella- but had she put down for a trifecta she would have picked up about five grand!! Alot of my family members won (on bets at the TAB that is) so i'm happy even though i got nothing myself

lilmissmissy said:

did you faint from the heat?

charlottegelin said:

It was menstrual crampz they had to wheel me off in a wheel chair cause i was trembling and couldn't walk!! People thought i was "gone already" I wish! I only had barely a sip of champaigne!! Though the heat DID add to my experience I think.
Slightly embarrasing but First Aid were just really great to me! But i managed to scare the shit out of my cousin and friendz

lilmissmissy said:

you poor thing! bloody pain

charlottegelin said:

Awww Yeah!! Tell me about it!! It'z one of the worst thingz ever in my experience!! Wouldn't wish that pain on anyone

lilmissmissy said:

I went without a period for 18 months when I had Max not that childbirth and the recovery were much better but when they came back they sure came back with a vengeance

charlottegelin said:

It came back with a vengeance after you had Max?! YOu poor thing!! I know my mama used 2 have the same thing as me- but after i was born she didnt get the crampz anymore. I should probably get it checked out, but something tellz me i gotta have a kid and then the pain will go I may have to wait a bit i guess before dat happenz Which meanz id have to endure EVEN MORE freakin pain before I don't experience menstrual cramps anymore

lilmissmissy said:

Maybe it will, could it be endometriosis? - my sister has that, she can't hold down a job because of it because of the absenteeism. She's had 3 procedures done to scrape it off, but it keeps growing back. She's had a baby now and is waiting to see if it will grow back as fast this time. The surgeon said to her get pregnant now (she was 30), because her fertility was quite low and only getting lower.

charlottegelin said:

OH shit!! Well, I should probably get it checked out just in case dat doesn't sound too good
