    I'm celebrating too this weekend.

    Looking forward to getting the bowel cancer screening test! OH had a full scan at 55 when we lived in a different area, I chased up last year why I hadn't even received a kit and apparently they start doing them at 60 here.  I will be chasing if I don't get something soon. Postcode lottery.

    I got mine about 4 weeks after my 60th birthday, so hopefully not too long to wait.
