Morning all

How are we all?





First of all I know how horrible to be in that state of unknowing and I know how horrible and scary it is when you think it may be Cancer but a growth doesn't necessarily mean cancer it could just be benign, also if worst comes to the worst there are treatments out there. Symptoms vary from person to person anyway so try not to worry about that too much... especially if the research was done online as we all know how reliable the internet is. I know it's easier said that done but there is no point getting upset about it all atm as it's not going to help. *fingers crossed* for your mum and family.

I did read other stuff but due to lack of sleep I've forgotten so to all those who need them

Just got back from shopping with my mum had an amazing time!!! Got loads of great stuff

-some cream jeans/trousers from Primark for 4 pounds
-shell vintage-style bag from Primark for 4 pounds
-creamy/pinky pumps from New Look for 6 pounds
-high waisted jeans from Miss Selfridge for 15 pounds
-poppy print tea dress from Miss Selfridge for 12 pounds
-black and white bird print skirt from Miss Selfridge for 12 pounds
and a couple of sets of slides from MS for 2 pounds each!!

I know this isn't the 'What have you bought this week?' thread but I got so many bargains I just had to share! Miss Selfridge was brilliant because they were all half price sale items, and then I got student discount on top of that! New Look have 20% student discount on atm too which is ace! So pleased with it all!

Good luck with the application Beth!

Hey everyone, I am so sorry to hear about your mum Sian!

Nothing much happening here, still panicking about exams.

I found out the other day that I could do a PGCE with early years specialism in England, which is really exciting. So I wrote to some unis as most of my work experience will/would of course be up here in Scotland and not England. I mean I do help with the homework club, do an intern etc here now and would have the chance to volunteer regularly once a week during term time (if my time table allows it). I just can't go down to England to do this stuff. Do you guys think that would be a problem?
One school answered by the way and said that the minimum experience they require is two terms of continuous full-time experience.
I really thought that the experience I am lining up now would be ok but that made me feel quite insecure. Are all unis looking for that much? Because then I would need a gap year.

About the pill-my doctor was nice, measured my blood pressure and asked whether I am active. I said I just got together with my boyfriend a few months ago and wanted to be prepared in case it happened. He then told me to make sure to use a condom. Oh and asked whether I understood how the pill works. That's it I think. So nothing to worry about.

bird print skirt sounds lovely, I have a bird skirt from h&m and a purple bird print dress from new look. Love bird print, or just kooky prints in general.
Can't wait to get my student discount back in September!!

Thanks, but...why else would they rush to get her blood tested etc and everything.
She's going around telling everyone she could be diein, yet hasnt had the blood test results back, and its making me feel awfull. Also she keeps saying she'll end up like her mum - who died of lung cancer 6 years ago.
Im panicking, ive crie all day which is the first time ive cried since i found out about it all..
She gets the results tomorrow and I can't help but have a had feeling about it to be honest.
I dont know what to do - walk round in circles, I cant sit down, hardly eat, sleep ...anything.

Finally got antiiotics for my sinus infection though - the doc said it's quite bad and I should have made an appointment sooner - ermm I would have if I could get in!!

Two terms? For most PGCEs, the minimum requirement is two weeks! Is there no way you could do it in the hols when you're off but schools haven't finished yet? Not sure about how strict they are on it being in England as opposed to Scotland...

Katie: That sucks about the charges! hope you get it sorted!!

Beth: Good luck with the job hunting / application.

to everyone.

Shes's been rushed through because it could be possible and the NHS don't want to put her at risk.. my mum has ended up with lumps before and been rushed through and they've turned out to be benign. Try not to think the worst, your mum isn't that old (not as old as her mum was) and so her immune system etc should be better meaning that if it is, and if she does have to get treated then she'll be more likely to beat it. IF it is (and I say IF since she hasn't got her tests back yet) then one of the most important things she needs is a positive attitude as weird and as difficult as it sound... you can either decide that you're going to fight it and beat it or you can let it win. Glad you've got anitbiotics and sorry if any of that sounds harsh.. it doesn't mean to but having been through it I know how it can affect everyone not only the patient. If you do ever need to talk you know where I am.


to everyone.

thanks Katie don't worry about sounding harsh, I'm just a wreck today. I keep wAnting to wake up and it be a dream. And I keep thinking, no it can't happen to us. can't stop crying and I know it's wrong.
