Just back online after not posting for a week, only to find that I will never catch up.

I was on page 114 of the old thread and found there were 114 pages in the new thread, then found there was another new thread with 6 more pages
:eek: :eek: So many pages and so little time. Apologies to those I have not answered as I have had problems with my PC. It was nice to see on glancing through the old thread to see that my my word for the pink vouchers Pinkys is being used.:j :j

Well done Kitten for your lovely photograph and collection of bags. A girl can never have too many of them.

I haven't logged on since I last posted here, 14th August? As I am very distracted at the moment and not concentrating on Bootsing as I should.

I am awaiting results to find out whether or not I have secondary Breast cancer in my bones. It doesn't look much looking at that sentence but it's a heavy burden to carry at the moment both for me and my family.

Some days I am ok, while others I am not good at all. I am a very positive person, but its not easy trying to stay positive all the time.

There are a few lovely ladies on here who know and have been a big help to me. But maybe you will understand why I haven't been myself, or have kept disappearing these past 2 months or so.

This has been going on since early June, and I don't get my final results until early September. This is due to having to ring the hospital to my appt brought forward. I had to wait 4 weeks for that date.

Then I saw My Consultant and she ordered an ultrasound and I had to wait 4 weeks for that.

They found that I have an enlarged spleen (Whats that all about ) I was referred for an urgent bone scan and they rang me with the date of that less than 2 days later.

So in total I only waited 5 days for my scan but I dont get the results for 4 weeks as my consultant is on holiday.

I have been throught this a couple of times before in the past ten years but it doesn't get any easier. I keep making the effort to post, but until I know whats happening I'm just not really here.

To the many newbies, who have come on board in the past weeks, welcome from one of the more mature members.


I noticed that in past weeks many photos have been posted and I must congraulate all the beauties who are on here, I am very impressed at all the stunning faces I have seen. I am way too old and wrinkly to even try to compete. :rotfl: :rotfl:

When I was young, 2 particular phrases used to puzzle/annoy me.
The first was 'Youth is wasted on the young'
The second was 'The wisdom of age'

i thought they were both a load of old tosh. Now I am older I understand and agree with them, particularly on one aspect, and it is this:-

When we are young we will always find faults with ourselves, whether it is our hair, out skin, our nose, our bum/weight etc.

But with the wisdom of age, I found that I was never so beautiful as when I was young.

I never appreciated the wonderful smooth skin, or the sparkling eyes, or the glossy hair. Neither did I appreciate the healthy vitality in my every step. I never stopped to think when I bent to pick up my babies, or carried them on my hip, that one day those bones would be old and brittle and I wouldn't be able to kneel any more.

And I am sure neither do you, what I am trying to say very clumsily to all you beautiful women is enjoy your youth and beauty while it is still there to enjoy and don't worry about the little things.

Hi Pollsdolls, not a regular (but am steadily getting addicted:rolleyes:) I am sad to here your news but I think it is great that you are trying to remain positive. If there is anything you need, Boots or anything else - please feel free to PM me and I will do my upmost to help.

Take care

Pollsdolls, thank you for taking the time to write what must have been a difficult post. I'll be thinking of you lots and sending you warm wishes while you wait that ridiculous length of time for those results *hug*.

Someone posted in the last thread... "any reduced perfume in the birmingham stores? ". Well I went into High Street and Bull Ring today, High Street is the best for perfumes, but I have something good to report about Bull Ring...

No 7 suncare is half price AND bogof in there. Took me ages to spot it as in the main sun section the SELs just say the normal price. But over by the make up, kind of opposite the perfumes, there is some on the end of an aisle and the SELs all were half price and it was covered with bogof signs still.

I wasn't sure whether this would mean I could get the GWP still with original prices over £20 or whether it needed to be over £20 at the new half prices so I played it safe as I was using SS tills and didn't want a beep.

So the best shop I did today was 2 No 7 SPF 8 (original price £12 but half price and bogof) and 2 No 7 Tan Maintainer (original price £10 but half price and bogof) and No 7 GWP. Paid at SS and used a pinky and a SS version of the pinky (different barcodes). Total to pay £2 :rotfl:

Hi Pollsdolls, I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you at this difficult time, and sending you lots of positive vibes. I'm sure everyone understands that you are distracted, but thank you for such a thought provoking post.

You are so right- I completely understand the phrase that youth is wasted on the young. I think none of us realise how lucky we are until something happens to us or someone close to us. I suffered quite a nasty back injury at the end of last year, three weeks after my wedding. A month previously I had been stressing about napkin colours and my MIL's outfit then suddenly I could hardly get out of bed or dress myself. Luckily for me the worst of my injury was temporary, although I still suffer with a bad back which I never did before. However this happening gave me time to take a step back and re-evaluate how lucky I am and enabled me to focus on what's important in life. I gave up my well-paid job which had me chained to a desk working 70 hours a week for something less high powered that gave me my life back.

Apologies for the self-indulgent rant but I guess what I'm saying is that Pollsdolls is right- don't sweat the little things and enjoy your health and youth every day.

BIG higs to Pollsdolls and anyone else who needs them tonight x x

Thank you
