Time for annual renewal of the hosting costs for @bitsandbumps. It's a pretty dormant podcast: only 13 episodes and the last one was 2 years ago. My podcast energy now going towards rightonprime.com. Should I let B&B die? or keep paying for it?

#IlovemyLARC (mirena) because - having my periods makes me badly anaemic - mirena makes me barely spot for a period - mirena has made my skin amazing - implanon made me spot daily and get acne - I kept breakthrough bleeding with the pill - some pills gave me acne Winning!
