    Biopsy needed asap but they couldn't fit her into pre op today.

    I dont know what the prognosis is snap, but I do know that survival rates for some cancers are improving all the time. Try to stay hopeful and positive.....easier said than done when you are faced with such news.:o

    In reply to various people.

    Ladyshopper-The ball !!!! in the tank in my roof broke off and the water ran and ran for something between 6-8 hours. All but one room to be redecorated. Lots of electrical points to be replaced, new carpets and a new kitchen. I have needed a new kitchen for about 10 years and as OH is moving back in we had already discussed having one and had even got a quote for the bathroom which we will probably have done when all this is going on. The one bedroom not included may be included now as the damp chap says the wall is wet but arguing with the insurance about that. Still a family in my hotel who live near me had a bad house fire day after me ( drunk husband put on the chip pan and fell asleep) and they only have building insurance as they cancelled the contents at Xmas.

    Bubbs- Regarding DD she is now awaiting an appt but is now also very constipated so I suggested a tin of prunes which she got and she said Mum how much shall I eat and I said the whole tin that should work. Constipation goes with anxiety in her case. But as you say at least she knows its happening.

    Mhoc-Hope he soon realises that you now have different house rules and abides by them. I remember how when my DD moved back at 21 after living at boyfriends for a year ( due to her fathers alcoholism) she was in the throws of a very anxious period and was really difficult to live with. I now know the messiness and inconsideration were a way to make me suffer as I did not let her move back soon enough.

    Okay, in for a point, in for 3k. Having had the door firmly shut by V1king saying GCs didn't qualify, I thought I would chance my arm on FB N3ctar again (they didn't ask what I ordered, so I didn't mention more details than requested ... and there was the entry with a few points to mark the date when it was processed ;)) and they added my missing 3k :D. Good job really as I "may" have placed another order that may have confused the issue if he looked tomorrow!

    Back in the game - can I have my badge back please :A.

    Anon

    So pleased for you Anon:T:T

    My third lot of cards arrived today in the post.

    Did we ever find out if they could be used in Iceland?
