    Phew for you! . You really feel your whole life is on hold when something like this crops up . So celebrate with a glass of wine or something and have a thoughtful pause for somebody else who perhaps attended the hospital today for the same procedure who perhaps got a very different result. Life's so often a lottery. Very relieved for you.

    thanks to everyone for the congrates etc, well last night i just collapsed on the sofa and couldnt move, so emotionally drained i couldnt believe it, had been invited out for a drink with friends but couldnt manage it, and couldnt even work up the energy to go to the gym, really can not even remember what i had on the TV last night.

    like !!!!!!, still feel drained this morning, hopefully will snap out of it soon as this is stupid, had some great news yesterday, and still exchanging a few messages with my girlfriend so things are going ok there. so why do i feel so 'meh'

    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    I think you’re ignoring all the adrenaline that has been racing around your body for the past month. It’s been like running an emotional marathon. We sometimes expect too much from our systems. Maybe time to grant yourself a little of that “space” you have been commenting on ?

    I would try (easier said than done) and take your great news as a springboard for changing your life. Personally i would seriously consider breaking ties with girlfriend and move on. Life is too short imo and perhaps your positive news might highlight this
