    Zara.. my mum has had a few 'non-uniform' lumps.. some were enlarged glands and others were cysts.. one recurs but is behind the initial layer of tissue and is about the size of a golf ball.. it is only possible to feel it once it pops through the tissue layer so it feel a funny shape but in fact is squished in the middle.. don't worry too much until you know what you are worrying about! :D Hopefully it will be nothing worth worrying about and easy to sort out for you.

    Thanks Pigpen, and all of you amazing ladies for your hugs and positive vibes. Will have to see how the app goes. I've stressed out about this for the past few days, I just feel drained, I can't think about it any more Until then keep your figers crossed. It's funny how something like this really makes you think about life, nd how you spend it.

    Zoe, hugs to you too, rest up lots and try to keep as busy as you can. All the best lovely.

    Thanks for Tuesday list too, will start on it once the lads have finished moving the study into the bedroom tomorrow.

    Zara, big hugs - I hope it all turns out well in the end.And yesm, your life will feel on hold in the interim - but don't forget to make the most of it...

    Rach - 15 miles of the Thames Path? Go you! Well done!

    Well, DD is back home again and we're struggling for space. I have decluttered soooo much it's untrue.

    I'm currently hopping mad for her. Her bloke works in a bar. He worked last night and never came home. Seems he decided partying with his mates was better. It was to be their last night together for a while. And he couldn't be bothered. She has spent the day cleaning, clearing her stuff etc. from their flat and he's been nowhere to be seen.

    She's bearing up but I'm carrying a load on my shoulders. I did tell her tonight to consider whether he's actually worth it. She could do so much better..

    Kids eh? ~sniffle~
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • Zara sending loads of positive vibes for it to be nothing of concern. (((hugs))) too, I know it's impossible not to worry, but I hope you'll be able to rest, and that they don't keep you waiting too long.

    Zoe I'm sorry hun. I know it was unexpected, and a little shocking finding out, but I also know that won't have lessened the shock of what's happened. Lots of us have sadly been there, it's very sad. (((hugs))) angel. I hope you'll be back with us soon.

    *sigh* lots of sadness at the moment eh?

    (((((hugs))))) to all my lovely flylady friends. I'm sending big happiness vibes for everyone...... here's to a good week.
