    Fantastic news DD is clear....she went for her scan and they had her blood results as well...they showed her her lump and said it's benign and that it should go by itself in the next two years and told her that if it gets bigger or she gets any more to have them checked straight away...she forgot what he called it she had but it's common in women her age xx so we are really really happy.

    Massive relief for the both of you, bless her thou trying to face it without worrying you, So plzed for her.

    On the insurance front they are paying ...so that is a massive relief....it has 5 days to be sorted by the finance and will take a couple of days going through the bank system....so maybe 10-12 days...
    Thats another brilliant piece of news, that really take a lot of pleasure off the bills, xx


    What an up and down day....and am exhausted now but happy that DD does not have breast cancer and that my financial worries will be over.

    You've had a hectic day, so glad that everything ok, u need to get rest.

    I know I wanted to be debt free but never dreamed it would be because of Breast cancer...lol

    Not the best of excuses for getting debt free, you need to take care of yourself xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Happy Wedding Annniversary, will raise a glass to you both.

    Be fun in a min - be sneaking around outiside, mums 65th bday today, so am going to put a pic on the lamppost, gate and the front door...... could be fun we have an Argos delievery 2mor, we're slotted in for 7am -9am, with a phonecall an hr before...... Shes having a dining rm table and 4 chairs, the one wanted was out of stock, but got an alternative, was £300, but online offer £50 off, and fate thats the delievery is her bday.

    We've arranged a basket of flowers off us all

    Been so organised with everyones presents, I've done mum a 65 box and I don't know where I've put it!!

    But shes got vase off me, picture off dd, clothes and a ring off dad, thou thats a saga - 40th choice in Argos, they've got to order from the warehouse, then we buy it, then they send it away to be resized......

    Bailey brought her a pic of 2 spaniel puppies, the one is the spit of him.

    Loves lattee, cappicunio sachets - when they were half price at Netto, stocked up shes got 65 sachets of both flavours

    So fingers crossed should go off ok, xx

    That'll teach me to go AWOl for a couple of days....your thread moves fast - I only popped in for a mo and have spent ages trying to cacth up :rotfl::rotfl:

    Really glad to hear DD's results :T:T...must be a huge relief for all of you

    Fantabidosi about the insurance payout :j:j...and I agree with the others - it's a silver lining to a very horrible dark cloud. And it's deffo NOT cheating - After all, debt-free the normal way would most certainly not be putting you all through the massive emotional and physical wringer you are going through atm......honestly missus - talk about doing things the hard way ;)

    Happy Anniversary to you and OH :beer::beer:

    This time next year you will have even more to celebrate...and hopefully be in Cuba to do so :)

    Something should be arriving tomoz for you;)
