Lyra, Oggs, Berrie, Zeb and Binkle....OVER HERE!!!!

[binkleandflip]

Ive been ok today, better than the weekend. Poor Dh had a horrid day at work.
It'll be fine.

Morning
Dd's back at school today hurrah!
It means I get the chance to catch up with all the cleaning/washing/tidying/paperwork etc that have been neglected for the last 6 weeks.
Also means I have to crack on with festi work as the next one is four weeks away.

No more lie ins

Is she glad to be back?

I'm off to a friends in a bit for lunch which will be nice.

My breast is discoloured. I am peeing my pants.

Oh, Berrie .

Should I go to A&E in case I get gangrene of the tit?

She's not that happy to be going back.
She spent the 3/4hr journey insisting to dh that she was sure that mum and dad wouldn't really go to prison if she didn't go to school, and that anyway she'd forgotten how to spell and do maths

I'm back after 24 hrs enforced absence due to crappy BT line .

Hope everything went ok this morning Berrie.

SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

No cancer. Don't know what has happened to my breast but it's nothing untoward.
Thanks to you all for your support. It's been ridiculously worrying!

That's brilliant news . You and dh must be so relieved.

Tee hee hee!

So it's nothing to worry about ? Just a manky boob?

Consultant said that the mammogram was fine, he couldn't feel anything and he couldn't see any puckering. He was abrupt and dismissive.
Got undressed tonight and there is another one on the same breast round the corner. There is a long puckering along the site of a hard vein. I wouldn't have felt it unless I had seen it.
To be fair there no longer is any puckering along the first one. The discolouration is still there...either I am a complete nutter looking for things that are not there or there is something else wrong which was not what the cancer Doctor was looking for or interested in.
Shall I igore it and go to brother's in London as planned or go back to GP as I'm concerened my tit is about to go black and drop off?
It's been so nice this afternoon not being dying. It's still nice not to have cancer but once again I can't sleep...

Go back to the Dr.
There is obviously something going on or he wouldn't have referred you.
Say you need peace of mind. Say you realise it can't be anything serious or the consultant would have taken it further, but can he explain exactly what it is that you are seeing?

Consultants can be very dismissive and don't always seem to understand that even though they haven't found anything life threatening it is still important for the patient to understand exactly what it is that they sought help with in the first place, and to leave with a decent explanation.

2nd one not there today.
Right I think we've all heard quite enough about my 'manky boob'

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Why? Where are you off to?

Hi everyone.
I'm so sorry to have missed the drama of the Manky Boob, but I am so pleased you're ok, Berrie.

Anything else happening? I was off poorly, slumped on the sofa watching dvds.

Hi Zeb Sorry that you've been poorly. Has ds been ill too? Watch any good films?

The black hole that was masquerading as a safe place has finally given up its booty, and I am once again in possession of Cold Comfort Farm .
Dh has said he wants to watch it again too, so until then it's been put somewhere safe .

Hello! We're back! I'll catch up with the thread and post later.
ps, it's blimmin' cold here innit?

Have a good time?

Did you have a nice time?

We had a lovely time but already it feels like ages ago.
We stayed in a lovely villa with a huge outside area (including not one but three terraces) and our own pool ( a first for us).
It was 30 degrees plus every day (38 degrees on the hottest day - phew!), we went to the beach a lot, lazed by the pool, had barbecues, lots of meals out and explored Spanish towns and villages. Perfect.
The only fly in the ointment was house buying troubles. The house sale was all off for the first few days of the holiday, which put a bit of a dampener on it, and just as I was coming to terms with losing our forever house, it's all back on again. The sellers are a complete nightmare but we have to keep kissing ass if we're to get the house we really want. Fingers crossed for us, please

Oh, and DS1 lost his first tooth on the second day, the day before his sixth birthday. The Spanish tooth fairy gave him 2 euros He's a proper little boy now.

That sounds amazing . Did you attempt much conversation in spanish? I did Spanish Literature at A level

Can't you convince BT to lay a broadband cable to save all this messing about?
