OK, I had two outline answers ..... which would have gone a bit like this:

a] I'm more worried about how much she spent while she was out, I'm sure £35 is a drop in the Ocean.
b] .... and all because she went to that shop to make sure we got the extra 20 points on the XYZ card.

There you go

That's how you offend without knowing you'd do it

You do understand...the worst bit is I had to pay the fine on a 1% cashback mastercard because they don't take the 5% Amex

It's annoying Michaels, but also one of those things - don't think too much of the £35. So long as she doesn't make a habit of it, chalk it up to a pain in the backside.

I've done it (once) and OH got our car towed away by parking in cash and flash rather than residents' parking. Once.

I've been away for a couple of days. I'm very keen to get back to my little seedlings

I reckon the poor little things are more in danger of being moidered to death rather than neglected, Nik!

I've just watered OH's and Isaac's herbs, which are growing beautifully.

Ok, sit down silver. In other news, basically, I might be having brain surgery, that's what these new tests for this new guy are for.

It will be an endocrine neurosurgeon, not a stright up neurosurgeon, if that makes you feel less worried. Some how the hormone bit calmed my friend down a bit as I think I convinced her it meant it wasn't my brain 'proper' and through my nose, not the back of my head if it goes ahead as being discussed. Its to attack what is believed to be a secondary issue to the primary one, though not definitively confirmed I have passed preliminary tests as showing potentially positive for that may give me some energy back and decrease some pain.

I really hope that it works out for you lir. Chronic conditions can be truly miserable and you could do with some good luck on the health front now.

I am NOT in any way, shape or form worried about surgery. I am in a very different situation to the one gen and viva are in/ have been in where an invading cancer needs to be addressed.

I'm fine. It's quite a long time ago and the magical number for me is 15 years, as I was told that if it's the other one I'd be dead by then. It is now 8, so the stats are looking good. The longer it goes on, the higher the chances that it was never the bad one at all.

It's a strange situation to be in really, as chances are I've been fine all along, which makes me feel a big, fat, fraud!

Hopefully in 8 years time Gen will be saying something similar - although we already know he's going to live until 2060...

Don't think its fraud though, you faced mortality in the same way and odds in same way whatever results might be. You might be the lucky percent. You are a one of a kind after all.

Crummy stupid Easter.

DH has been working out and resolving usual everyone else on holiday before public holiday crisis, and feeling impressed he had it under control when......

Piece of work from Asia roles in, with a Monday deadline and requests for opinions DH feels a bit wary of. People just suck. Still, I wouldn't know when this places major public holidays are.....

Agree with both bits- definitely hopefully from me too, and definitely not a fraud. You have dealt with an uncertain (even less certain than is usually managed) diagnosis in a logical and reasoned way I could only dream of. Obviously I hope that I am in good health for as long as possible, but should I ever be faced with anything similar to any of you guys, I hope I am even a fraction as brave, resilient and good humoured about it.

I think I may have found an outlet for my urge to nest and nurture

(waves to NP whilst passing through inner Herts)

neverdespairgirl

I agree - all 3 of you, Vivia, Gen and LIR are seriously impressive, wonderful NPs.

I'm getting a bit anxious about childbirth, which is feeble in comparison.
