We had a lovely evening on our Mystery Trip last night.
The coach took us to Skipton and we boarded a Skipton Boat Trips barge for a cruise towards Silsden, with a 2 course meal too!
Back to Skipton for the coach back home again.
Wonder where next years outing will be.... suggestions via messenger welcome!!!

Pinch Punch, 1st of the month.
Time for your monthly breast check!
Whatever your age, size or shape it's important to get to know your 'normal' and be breast aware.
Please share with your pals, Mum, Dad or your neighbour - it's never too early to start checking your breasts. 💕
Love this quote...
If you love it too, please SHARE rather than taking a screenshot - we work hard to create these designs 💕 (If you make it public - I’ll even say thanks!)
Plus - it raises awareness for the group... If people know we are here, we can support others.
Thiught I’d share an email I received 💕
This week, Breast Cancer Now launched what they hope will be the most comprehensive survey ever of those affected by incurable breast cancer in the UK. Whether you have secondary breast cancer or not, they need everybody to join together to make this the biggest survey of its kind.
They’d like people with secondary breast cancer in England, Scotland, Wales and NI to tell them about their diagnosis, treatment and support, as well as the impact secondary breast cancer has had on them.
If you have secondary breast cancer, this is your chance to have your voice heard.

Tonight we shopped till we dropped, with gorgeous gifts from The Handmade Studio and a selection of Avon Products with Alison, ate gorgeous homemade cakes & drank tea, coffee and juice.
We have chatted away, and had a lovely evening.
Thank you to all who attended.... see you on the mystery trip next month!

There is, yet again, a facebook game doing the rounds, where you post a single heart on your wall to promote breast cancer prevention......
The person posting the ❤️ usually accompanies this with a private message to their female friends asking them to check their breasts.
Usually something like this.....“Hello, can you put a ❤ on your wall, without comment, only a heart, then send this message to your female contacts. After putting one ❤ on the wall of the person who sent you this message. If anyone asks why you have so many hearts on your wall do not answer. It is for women only to remember it’s the week of breast cancer prevention! ❤ Check your boobies!!”
HOWEVER, Instead of posting hearts on your wall to recognise Breast Cancer prevention, YOU CAN’T PREVENT IT, how about sharing this more practical post about being BREAST AWARE, checking your breasts saves more lives than posting a ❤
Cancer doesn't discriminate, young, old, men, women, get checking those breasts 😘

The NHS advises seeing a GP if any new lumps appear, especially if accompanied with the following symptoms.
For women:
– a change in the size or shape of one or both breasts
– discharge from either of your nipples, which may be streaked with blood
– a lump or swelling in either of your armpits
– dimpling on the skin of your breasts
– a rash on or around your nipple
– a change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast
For men:
– If any hard, painless lump appears near your nipples
– If your nipple begins to invert or turn in
– Nipple discharge
IF IN DOUBT - GET CHECKED OUT

I’m probably going to get a lot of stick for this, pinching people’s photos and posting them all over Facebook.... but I don’t care!
This week, is national volunteers week, 1-7th June, which has been celebrated for over 20 years.
Did you know Bosom Friends is entirely run by a small committee of volunteers. We meet as a committee once a month, we plan your monthly social evenings, arrange the weekend away, organise the annual fashion show, buy and distribute gifts for newly diagnosed breast cancer ladies, make special cushions for use after breast surgery, work out finances to pay for extra bits for the hospital; furniture, decorations to rooms, areola tattoo training for the nurses.... to name a few.
Without this amazing group of ladies, and one gent, pictured here, Bosom Friends would not run.
We do of course need YOU. Without you, we wouldn’t have a need to run.
So THANK YOU to each and every one who comes to Bosom Friends, who supports us, and likes our page.

We had a lovely time down at Keighley Cougars on Saturday with our cake and bun stall.
Thank you to all who donated baked goods for us, and a HUGE thank you to all who attended the Keighley Cougars Supporters Club match and bought our goods!
It was lovely to see such a good crowd supporting us and the other charities who were there.
