Thanks everyone, it’s great news! All is well 😊 Quite scary going in alone but very well run and lovely kind staff, I needed to have a second mammogram which was worrying but nothing was found. Hopefully I can sleep again now. I’m really behind with the finances and haven’t transferred the wages over since last week, but it’s been an odd week 🙄

Thanks so much 🙂 I was out by lunchtime so we got ds1 and met my parents for lunch at a hotel nearby (couldn’t book a pub everywhere was full) so had a huge veggie burger and chips 😊 slight fright tonight when the doctor rang me, but it’s another phone appointment later this week for something else! I’m getting our moneys worth from the nhs this week 😆 Just feel so lucky to get the all clear but also to have been seen within a week during a pandemic.MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁8
