Time was when a lady reached 60 she would receive her pension & a bus pass.
Times have changed, what little treat did I receive not long after my 60th birthday?
An envelope containing an assortment of cardboard sticks, some strange little sticky envelopes, a letter from the NHS & a very thick booklet containing long descriptions of clean toilet paper & plastic bags, explaining how to take a poo sample.
I've examined all the items thoroughly, read the booklet numerous times & decided to give up.
I'll wait a couple of weeks until half term when I will have time & peace & quiet to attend to my bowel cancer screening kit!

Yup, I've got the same thing sitting there waiting for me... can you imagine being the poor person who opens their mail?
Me and hubby were reminded at our Dr appt yesterday that we still need to do our pooh sticks!

I used to work in the ante-natal clinic of my local hospital. We used to cringe if anyone walked in with a ' blue tube' wanting to drop off a sample- we knew what was in them - and some people didn't even bother putting the tube into a plastic bag. Cue much hand scrubbing from us!
Well, I guess it shows someone somewhere knows you are 60 :). I have a few years to go yet, after watching hubby read his first test 'how to' it takes some getting used to. I'm with Scarlet on the smell issue!
Yeah, they sent me one, couldn't bring myself to use it, seems so disgusting.
I've done two now, I'm 62 you know. Might get another one in May. Easypeasy. Go for it.
