The coil is a term for IUD. It has threads that dangle outside the cervix so the doc can get it back out again when necessary. Apparently now I've googled it, if the threads are too short they can "spike" the man during sex, I guess the shorter they are the less flexible or something. I don't know what material they are made of it is probably something more durable than a tampon thread as they have to stay intact for 5 years.

The whole xmas thing is the only thing that is making me put off saying anything til January. I seem to remember doing that last year and then H gave me a Xmas present of a trip to Paris for valentines, so somehow it never happend. \:\( Don't want to do that again.

S8 has been very moody lately and I am suspicious someone has finally burst his bubble about Santa (at school I guess). I have a horrible feeling this is going to be his worst Xmas ever - poor soul.
