  • Good evening lovely peoples :wave:

    Thank you so much for all your good wishes, please excuse me for not having read back yet. I just wanted to share my news with you before I settle down as I’m very tired.
    My Cancer marker has dropped significantly since my last bloods taken in October :j
    I couldn’t believe it! :j:j:j

    Dr Doom and his assistant Nurse Gloom were not so enthusiastic as me :o

    Thank you all so much :A

    Lovely news, well done. :T:T:T

  • Got collared by security at A today :eek:

    Not for using multiple £20 APG's for the past month :)

    But for doing multiple 1p transactions on the SS one after another :eek:

    Asked what I was doing so I told her I'm a shopping addict, but currently undergoing therapy for my problem :eek: :D

    I showed her my purchases and receipts....she apologised and said she hopes the therapy works and then recommended hypnotherapy :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I think there's quite a few here who could do with that ;)

    They'll probably give you a chair and a nice cup of tea and some 'thinking time' if ever you dare to fill a trolley in there again. :rotfl:


    Talking of which, our Sainsbury has gone 'age-friendly' with big signs in the doorway, even in the PFS. There are pictures of a chair, a hot drink and a toilet.

    Just realised, not mentioned that OH came back from a do on Sunday with a few raffle prizes, including a voucher for a 3kg piece of gammon, fortunately we can pick it up after Christmas, my freezer is a bit full at the moment :eek:

    I know it is not quite a trip to the ballet and a meal out, but still pleased (well hell of that prize HG :D )
    :T:T:T well done

    Totally amazing - also that it still fits has some meaning ...

    I don't wear rings, my wedding ring was flung at OH in rage and fury so often in the early days it went missing - I suspect its fallen down the back of the old sofa in the study and possibly it will emerge the day the old sofa is upended and opened up before heading to the tip ...
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: only ever took mine off when i had my hands done, felt really odd without it:eek:

    I hope there is! Next Feb for me:j

    Can't wait, my Financial Advisor tells me I will be £75pw better off:) thanks to our investments:T

    Will probably get a part-time job for a couple of days per week to keep occupied though. DW retires a year later, we plan to buy a motorhome again and tour Europe for 6 months or so. Plenty of holidays planned for next year too, bring it on!
