    Good.. Fortunately I only have one ex from when I was 14 lol.. and KH.. so I'm safe on that front.. though I did have one guy who said he really fancied me at school and I'm still beautiful and would I consider meeting up with him.. at his house in France... erm.. no sorry I don't have a passport lol. And the other guy from school who nagged me for 3 hours while I was out one one night with my friend to go back to his.. in the end he got the message and took home said friend instead.. :eek:

    Jojo.. most docs would send any woman to be checked out quickly with breast lumps.. and there is usually nothing to worry about.. when my mother went the nurse said most lumps had totally gone by the time the 2 weeks came round. It isn't worth worrying until you know if it is justified.. big big hugs xxx
    I was just going to say that:D

    It is a fast track system to get checked out these days

    try not to worry JoJo:love::kisses3:

    Facebook is proving interesting for me tonight... finding all sorts of old (mainly male :o ) friends on there - just found someone I've know since I was 3 so makes him officially my oldest friend on there now :eek::D

    Right, I'm going to go and get a whisky and coke to try and help me warm up. I've tried all sorts and nothing works for any length of time so resorting to alcohol which usually works :o Then if my hands warm up enough I'll start the ironing, terrified at the minute of dropping the iron my right hand is so cold :eek:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Sorry but 2 off point notes
    1. while going through junk drawer today I found the Mass card for my Uncle who died almost 3 years ago (1 month after MIL+FIL passing away), and I was brought to tears
    2. I know The street is not real but Sally talking about her Ca***r (sorry but don't like the word)....just brings home what all those we have lost and those still going through it have to deal with.

    HUGE HUGS TO ALL XX

    I am sure, as well as this thread, that we know someone going through the pain xx
