In the words of some bloke off the telly 'I don't belieeeeeve it!'
Last Tuesday I reached the golden age of the half century.
By Saturday's post (some 4 days later, er, for those who can't count, or who've lost count) I recieved, from our local hospital, a kit for collecting poo, so that I can send it back to them and they can test it for bowel cancer!
In other areas you need to be 60 to do this.
I suppose if they look after us right, and detect it early - we may live until at least 60, eh?

Happy Belated Birthday X
The cheek of it?!! They will be sending you Saga brochures next!
Happy Birthday!!!
They could at least of sent you a birthday card. I know it's morbid curiosity but what does this kit comprise of?
By the way I have an ulterior motive for dropping by I am tagging you for the 7 random garden facts meme
oo, you did what i think about doing all the time.
downsizing I think they call it. So that you can concentrate on what's important to you.
I'll be checking up on you to see that you you do what I havn't the balls to do.
stop reading this comment and get writing. may be something with space ships in it?
is that how you spell downsizing? I feel like I want to put an e in there.
jen and kate: Thank You!
karen: you have to put two samples on a card (provided) on three separate days. Wash your hands. And, send it off to them. (you are weird!)
And, thanks for the meme - I think!
spleenal: hello & welcome. Space ships - hmmm. And yes, downsizing is without an e, or it wouldn't be downsizing, would it?!
How efficient, if only our bowels we're as good. It's the new ring of confidence

Hi apprentice: the puns, the puns!

Thanks for visiting my blog. I've been having a look around yours and see that you've been doing Start Writing Plays with the OU. I did that and a couple of years back and really enjoyed it.
