    Well, firstly amazing news on getting into the 20's, and secondly you have inspired me to check myself in the shower this morning. I think everything you are doing/thinking is completely sensible, and I am keeping everything crossed for a clear result so that you can get back to finishing off that pesky mortgage with renewed vigour xxx

    Great news to be in the 20s!! - that's absolutely fantastic!

    Fingers crossed re the scan 🤞 All I'd say is that more often than not these things are OK. And don't Google before you know anything for sure - that's a crazy rabbit hole to fall down.. xxx

    Sorry to hear you are waiting on the breast clinic, a very stressful time ☹️  nothing anyone says is going to put your mind at rest until you go but sending you positive vibes and best wishes, the waiting part of anything is always the worst bit! ❤️
    love the best friend comment, it’s the best way to be, humour and friends always helps keep us calm I think 😆

    Sending positive vibes for your tests, always good to get these things checked out early xx

    And congratulations on your mortgage! Excellent work. Sounds like you've given yourself some good options with the cleaning work. Hopefully the challenging one will be less challenging next time 😊
  • Best of luck with the scan results 🤞

    A massive well done on the OPs, your side hustle business, and your plans for self employed expansion to steadily replace your employed job over time. All fantastic examples of taking firm control of your destiny and shaping your future to be what you want it to be 👏
