Frugal Fresian's 2010 Adventures

Back from my trip to the doctors with a hole in each arm (My veins hide when they see a needle coming)

I went to the shopping centre and got my Dr Who audiobook which is currently being punted into my iTunes so I can make soup while listening to David Tennant's dulcet tones.

I spent £7.42 at Morrisons having popped in for carrots I did get my carrots, but also got some celery (for the aforementioned soup), margarine at half price, two packs of bacon for £1 each, some salad for lunch (blech) and three packs of WW yoghurts for 69p each instead of the usual 2 for £2 deal. Not a bad shop really. I'm now going to strip the chicken from yesterdays dinner and begin boiling its sorry carcas to make soup while using the yummy leftover meat to make my salad a little more appealing.

I have also done 40 minutes of sweat-inducing walking this morning :A

mine do that too!

I am also off 2 the docs today as it is appearing I may have IBS (at best) or coeliac disease (at worst) I am looking forward to being sent for some blood tests meself

Good luck with your current 'get healthy' plan. You seem to be doing quite well. I am trying trying trying to loose weight at the mo but struggling a bit due to symptoms of above. Hopefully will get to the bottom of things soon:(

Mine too - I had to have blood taken from my wrist last time! (after 3 holes in my arms.) :eek: OUCH!! Next time I'm getting my boss to do it - he is one of the rare people who can bleed me 1st attempt! :rotfl:

At the moment I know nothing as he only took the blood today. My brother has an underactive thyroid and when the doctor told me the symptoms I thought "Hmmm...."

1. Tired a lot
2. Cold when other people aren't
3. Putting on weight (That might be the cakes until recently though!)

I should get the results back on Friday so will keep y'all informed!

It was the cold business that makes me wonder because I have been complaining a lot of feeling cold this winter and the other night if I could have found the hot water bottle I definitely would have used it. The other symptoms could be explained by other things and my first blood tests are tending to indicate a problem but they need to repeat them because stress can cause these results

I gather even if it is underactive and you take the pills the weight can still be hard to get off so no magic cure to my weight problem:(

Morning all!


Last night's dinner cost me £42 for the two of us :eek: as Mr Fresian veered off the cheap menu and went for the biggest burger in the world, plus beer. It was his birthday though I was home by half ten, and have no idea when he got home. I do know that I woke up at half five when he fell on top of me while trying to get into bed. Drunken bum :beer:

Today I'm going to M&S to pick up the shoes I bought in the sale and might be going to the movies, not a lot planned really.

Palema - my parents have decided to visit this weekend so I don't think I would be free until Sunday afternoon. Let me chat to them today and find out what their plans are.

Just need to find something in the freezer for dinner and go to work now.

glad mr f had a great day - it IS the best day for a birthday, as it was mine as well

not been around PAD for a while but just wanted to pop in to say hello, well done & hope you get the medical query sorted out. i'm half wondering if i have an UAT now as well - i can put a tick by those symptoms too, especially the tired and cold ones! x
