    Those that can recall my status update a while back where I said my wife Wendy had been diagnosed with cancer of the womb. Two operations later and a manic few months and she has just been given the all clear. They say they caught it in time before it had a chance to spread. Thank you for all the well wishers and people who sent pm messages of support
