    :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: As you know I have been waiting all day for a phone call.......got fed up.....my stress levels are sky high so I rang my cancer support nurse........apparently there is a back log on the scan reports & it could be Friday before my result comes in.....!!!!!!...:eek: why couldn't they have told me that earlier........sat here in tears now......I guess if it's bad news I am at least able to delay it :cry::cry: Sorry just needed to tell somebody xx

    Hugs Lady-Lib, we all know the health service is in a bit of a state but not to be able to get the results out of people who are ill and NEED to know is appalling. I am not surprised you had tears, any one waiting results psyches themselves up for it and it is an emotional time. I hope your loved ones are giving you the support that us virtual ones are not able to x

    Tea done and cleared away

    Didnt get any more cards done but I have been printing photographs that I need to send with the cards.

    Thats it for now

    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    Penny - how long has that fruit been soaking for and the pudding been steaming for ...

    oops... had to rush off as I realised that I was late for reflexology. Better catch up with you all now and then have some supper. I'm shattered, and really fancy a bath and an early night!
