  • Camelot, it's hard I'm sure as you want to help, but it would be too much, you have made the correct decision.

    We've had a second viewing this morning and now we've done it, four hours driving there and back, a stay in a hotel (our room was freezing), but we've put down a holding deposit and subject to survey we are now the proud owners of NB Cloudberry!!
    I will post pics on my blog in a few minutes.
    Chin up, Titus out.

    Agree mar , unfortunately just got the feeling it was more of a show and less of a spiritual ? thing , quick guess at his nights work 18 x £25 before show , at least £450 entry fees ,plus 10 x £15 after show , plus whatever his booking fee was , guess £100 . So about £1150 . And kind of feel without all the hype would be better , we could offer a private room ,all low key but probably he wouldn't get that kind of cash ..
    But hey ho ..

    Apolgies for sharing, I found another mass in my leg today. Freaking out a bit. It's about hand sized on my thigh. (Background is I have what they believe to be an benign tumour in my calf on that leg that at one stage they thought wasn't benign).

    I got straight to the docs, then got an ultrasound at work. The ultrasound basically showed just fat, but... out of nowhere. The radiographer himself came in to look. He agrees it's odd, he can feel by hand it's a definite lump, but on ultrasound it's no different that the surrounding area. And the skin is fine, it doesn't hurt and I've done nothing to it.

    Tomorrow I'll print out my own report and see what it says.... maybe back to my docs for MRI referral. Confused and worried.
