Thank you. I know I sound like Doom and Gloom Merchant number one, but (says an advert for Bupa that fell out of a magazine only yesterday), apparently 5,000 people a week in this country are diagnosed with cancer.....if it's going to be us, let us ensure it's as early stage as possible, and thanks to pre-emptive screening, rather than finding out when the cancer forces itself to our attention.

It's instinct for us to think 'not me' but that's what those who do get diagnosed think as well....

Right, that's enough doom and gloom, even for me. Life is for living, and celebrating, and making the very, very most of, and I hope and wish everyone to have a happy (and healthy!) New Year, and fulfil their plans and aims for the coming year.

Best, Julie.
