    yep i know what you mean about the amount of people affected by it taxii. right now my cousin has leaukaemia for the third time in his young life, he is 23 he has been told it is now no longer treatable. I think everyone knows/has known a person affected by cancer. it isnt a "modern" disease by any means but I do feel the ignorance of it in years past has made it feel more a modern disease if you see what i mean?
    debt @05/11/11 £12210.63!! slowly chipping away!!

    Thanks all...that will be a party..lol
    Pania...sorry to hear about your cousin...it's awful to have had it 3 times by that age..so young.

    have done my jobs for today
    filled the car
    went to Asda and got bits...spent more than I meant to as tuna was on offer buy 2 x 4 tins=8 tins for £4...good brand can't remember whether it was john west or princes...so I now have another 16 tins of tuna in my cupboard..lol
    so seeing as i'm on the £10 a week challenge and have spent £14...I only have £6 FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK.

    Went to the office and paid subs cheque
    Went to accountants and paid him and dropped papers off
    Went to the salon in the gym and had my waxing done...then had a brew with DD who works in the gym...spotted some lovely cute pink towels and her boss gave me one of them (brand new may I add)...how generous was he..lol

    That's my day so far so pretty lazy one.

    You are such a strong person, maybe this was just karma, or whatever you believe in, way of giving you a final push to make things better and make you superwomen at the other side of it :)
