School Reunion

Evening.

I'm just fighting a chest infection, first one in nearly 2 years. Started meds on Sunday and I have to say I feel much better. My question is do I go to my school reunion (just the girls) tomorrow night, its a meal, can't believe I left school 40 years ago. I want to go but apart from the infection I haven't got any confidence ad feel stupid having to walk n with my oxygen.

If you feel well then go Kimmy! I know what you mean re oxygen, felt really self conscious about mine for ages but no one bats an eye lid. Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind. Have a good time xx

You go and see them. What Sheilab says is true. You will always regret not going if you don't. x

Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to go last night.

I was really nervous but I took my time getting ready, dragged out my glad rags and slowly applied the all important make-up and I didn't scrub up to bad. One of my friends was expecting a really ill looking old woman, she said she couldn't believe it when I walked in looking fantastic which was lovely. Had a great time and hope to do it again in the new year, fingers crossed going out in the cold and wind hasn't set me back so fingers crossed.
