    Thanks Hairy and ES. I’m pretty sure it will just be a case of putting my mind at ease 🤞😁
    I’ve managed to give myself a very tight schedule in the morning. I’ve only got an hour between dropping some cash of for a payment that the bank doesn’t recognise to pay electronically in the centre of town and getting to the GP for the blood test. I’d hoped Dh would drop me off as it’s right near where he works and is atrocious for parking but typically he has a dentist appointment and isn’t going unit after. It’ll be tight but should be doable.
    Then I’ve got an old work friend coming around for lunch……which I’m looking forward to. It was very nearly called off as she’d got the dates mixed up 😳 thinking it was today.
    Good job it wasn’t today as I was out having a swim and lunch with a rl MSE friend. I had a lovely time 
    I need to pop to Morrison’s in a bit as the cupboards are nearly empty.

    I’ve just been shopping as the fresh food was looking very sparse. So £55 later which has taken me to £360 - I have £25 cash left to go into my Buble weekend spends. So £435 spent overall this month and I’m stocked up for this coming week food wise 👍
    My Buble weekend spends are £65 plus the change in my small change money box 😁

    Money delivered and I made it for the blood tests ok. Had a phone call and got a hospital appointment for Thursday afternoon…….can’t fault the service at all 👍

    Had a letter asking me to go to the hospital on Friday afternoon in a general assessment clinic but phone call said Thursday with the surgeon’s team who actually did the op, so I phoned up to query. Thursday it is then 👍
    Just had an amazing catch up with a friend I used to work with. Funny how you can pick up just where you left off with some people. I’ve had a lovely afternoon and we have said we will do it more often as she has taken early retirement too 😁 I just did jacket potatoes and tuna with salad and roast veg. It was very nice….and healthy too - except the chocolate cake for pud. Twas very lovely though…..
    I need to sew beaks on 10 ducks to take to a craft meeting tomorrow for the local children’s hospice. Thought I had loads of time and then I didn’t 🤔

    That’s speedy service from the hospital. It will be good to get some peace of mind. I regularly catch up with a friend I used to sit next to at work and we’re the same, we just pick up where we left off.

    Hooray 😁 I’ve figured out how to do my spendy figures in my profile…..thanks  SSG and everyone else who tried to help me.
    I’ve just been to the craft class and handed my little ducks with creme eggs over….I made 10 in the end. We made a lovely box card. I’ve not quite finished it yet so I’ll post a piccy later. 
    I’m shattered as I’ve had a busy day since we came back from Wales - I need a couple of restful days as I’m shattered now……not sure how I had time to work. I’ve been quite thankful for my busy week this week though.
    I bought some material yesterday and am either going to make a top with it or a dress …..and hopefully not let it sit in the bedroom for 12 months (or years 😳😏😂)

    See you got there in the end. 
    Sounds like another good couple of days . Glad you are getting seen by the hospital tomorrow. 
    Looking forward to seeing the box card .
