Only just had a chance to get on my laptop, because I've been out celebrating!!! I'm just naturally lumpy!!!

The ultrasound showed that it is just hardened breast tissue, probably due to finishing breastfeeding. I can't tell you how relieved I am. I have to just keep an eye on it and it ought to go away in time but should go back if it changes at all.

The really excellent news is that they are going to start annually screening me from 35 now (am 30 at the mo) whereas before they said they would screen from 40 so I feel like something really worthwhile has come from the week of worry.

Got to dash but I'll be back soon Wink I can't thank you all enough for welcoming me and reassuring me this past week, its meant the world.

Sparkle crumples into heap over being able to remember nothing from A levels, and very little from degree.



I can however find everything my dh has lost in the house! Thank heavens for small mercies. Grin

Blimey, you're all elephants. Apart from Kurri, who is just Confused Grin I am trying to convince myself it's because I did an English degree, so that supplanted the A level memories. Obviously no-one is to ask me what texts I studied for that though. Grin Really is going to bug me now. Will probably still be trying to remember at 3am...

Kurri Your memory is just like mine!

We were pleased our teachers chose not to do Chaucer. For Shakespeare we did King Lear and The Tempest. We did the Modern paper (Passage to India, Lawrence's Novellas, Dubliners and Thomas Hardy poems) and 19th Century (Sense & Sensibility, Frankenstein, Sheriden's School for Scandal and The Critic, and Wordsworth's Prelude).

Smee That's shocking really that you got no theatre trips!

I'm 48 MAS. And one day. I only got an E for EngLit - good at writing essays, hopeless at timing - I would go on and on (what's changed you cry). Basically did 2½ essays instead of four for each paper!

How on earth can you remember?? I know we did Hamlet, but beyond that I can't remember anything. Confused

MaryAnnSingleton · 22/03/2011 17:34

new format has thrown me too !
LJ - you are way younger than me I'm sure,so maybe they recycle Wordsworth every millenium or something... we did Chaucer too- Nun's Priests Tale and the general prologue, Antony & cleopatra, Coriolanus, Persuasion and The Rainbow.... I did miserably in my biology A level too

Kurri, you're right - does feel a bit weird typing into a box. Like those auto-form fillers that always get my address wrong. Confused

Thanks for kind words about DS's nose bleed. To be honest it wasn't a big drama, just annoying as it was in the middle of the night. Always astounds me how far not very much blood can go. DH slept through it all so didn't know anything about it. He nearly collapsed when he went in there this morning. Shock

LJ, your teachers do sound good. I don't remember being taken anywhere. Not one theatre trip. Feel quite sorry for myself now. Grin

MAS, I'm with you on the Wordsworth. Grin

Sally, am still thinking about you. Hope it's only good news and you're out celebrating. Smile

I somehow missed the bit about DS's nosebleed Smee - I hope he's better now.

Who had to do Chaucer? - We had the Knight's Tale (not one of the rude ones unfortunately). In my mock exam I translated a sentence which was something like 'the men fought like two boars' as 'the men fought like two bores' - my eng. teacher wrote 'Freudian slip!!' in big letters by the side Grin

And all that fab teaching was 'just' the local comprehensive....

Smee What a rotten day for you. Have a Brew now and a Wine later. Where have those lovely St Davids daffs gone? Wish they'd kept them, would send those too. Hope DS is ok and it was a one-off. x

Cakes Seems to me you have a very realistic idea of what is going on there and are absolutely right in sticking to your guns. Maybe if they go away and try to come back to you they may find your rate has actually gone up in the meantime Wink. Not unfair after 4 years!

MAS I had to do Wordsworth's Prelude for A Level too - wonder if we did the same paper/year? Bored the pants off us too.

Grin at leaving out Wordsworth MAS - who can blame you?

LJ - sounds like you had brilliant teachers. WE got taken to see the RSC a few times (I saw Ian McKellen playing Romeo - which shows how long ago it was!)


Hope Sally is OK and home from the hospital.
