There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

Thanks all..glad I seem to have made the right deciscion because I ddn't know whether I had.I feel better for doing it though.
Just got to crack on with the rest of it now.0 -
Taxi - not been around for a while and I come back to see your news - keep your chin up and hang on in there. It's no good saying don't worry as I know you will (I had a scare a few weeks ago - different body part - but consultant told me it was 'highly probable' it was cancer - scared me silly - I was convinced he was cushioning me before he told me for certain - but it turned out to be a false alarm) The good thing is you have acted straight away and have your appointment through - when is it? In my case it was the not knowing that got me - I felt I could cope if I knew what I was facing - the not knowing and not being in control really freaked me. I'll be thinking of you and sending positive vibes over to Blackpool.
The debt busting is fantastic as usual - makes more sense to pay off the cc's before the saving.
Coffee before archery sounds good.

Thanks Milann..my appointment is on monday...I am the same..the not knowing is the hard bit..I said the exact same thing to DH this afternoon...that if I knew one way or the other I would know what was happening and can plan/act accordingley.
Glad you have the all clear too x
I am just nervy at the moment and guess it will be a few weeks before I know oneway or the other.0
