3. Go to the pictures tonight to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Pray it's as good as the book.... Going on Sunday as my friend was double booked

4. Insure the Frugal Fresian Fiesta and book train ticket for Mr Fresian to go Up North to collect it. Pray nothing falls off the car on the way back.... to do tomorrow

5. Inventory freezer/cupboards and [strike]think about a trip to Morrisons at the weekend.[/strike] Going to Morrisons on Sunday, not made a list yet

6. Do all competitions I have put off during the week and [strike]do more surveys and opinions on T0luna. Current points are 2740. Only 77260 to go for the next voucher :rotfl:[/strike] Now up to 6460 thanks to sponsored polls. Only 73540 to go...

However, I need to go to work to survive it, so must run!

Oooh yes, I forgot you were coming down to Ye Olde York! The weather isn't too bad at the moment actually, the sun is out and it's a little bit chilly but at least the snow has finally gone!

Mr Fresian has been heroically unwell, which has lead to much washing of sheets (urgh...sweaty) and minimal funtimes this weekend. I have been to the shops today to provide him with soothing sweeties, paracetemol and tissues.

The expedition to the shops did yield:

1. 49p brocolli
2. Ald! concealer pen (Not needed, bad Fresian...)
3. 10 eggs for 99p
4. Stardrops :j I had never seen it before and had to buy it. Hopefully it is as wonderful as everyone on OS says it is. Does anyone know if the version that comes in the spray bottle can be used on ovens?

Tomorrow I go to the supermarket and then the cinema, hurrah! Must remember not to buy too much fridge stuff as the fridge is jampacked thanks to the Biggest Chicken Of All Time (God bless you, M&S Mothers Day Deal) and the tastiest looking cheesecake. Woo! Sunday Dinner Fun tomorrow

Not long awake following a well-needed afternoon nap...

Mr Fresian's sister is making us venison stew (Her bf's parents give them quite a lot of Donald Russell meat so she can often offer tasty food) and tomorrow I'm going to make the M&S chicken for dinner.

My brother rang me today to tell me that both him and my dad have underactive thyroids and that I need a bloodtest. Is this likely to be a family thing? What would it mean for the average person? I dislike googling medical conditions as I always fear the worse and end up thinking I have some kind of brain cancer....all information gratefully received lest I turn to google...

From the little I know about this condition (and I ain't a medically qualified person) it means one of your hormones is out of whack. It sort of slows your body's functions down - bit like hibernating all the time. Totally treatable, but it can take a while to get the dosage correct.

Dinner sounds lush.

I bought some bread for 12p last week! Now that is MSE. Our local supermercado doesn't seem to have much in the way of woopsies but I do try and I do buy own brand as seems daft to spend on brands when OB bits and pieces work just as well.

Great news on the bonus! All adds up doesnt it.

Saturday night TV is R.U.B.B.I.S.H. I am tempted to hit the hay early as those lovely fresh sheets are a-calling.

My lunch at work yesterday cost 7.5p as it was soup I had bought when it was whoopsied to 15p, so I had half at work and Mr Fresian had half at home.

I would be very worthy had I not then bought some Tangy Cheese Doritos from the vending machine. Oops...

hi FF i have an underactive thyroid and yes i does tend to run in families, if you have been feeling v tierd, head feeling like mush, putting on weight, dry skin, thinning hair or feeling v cold, then these are all symptoms. They can diagnose it with a simple blood test and you'll take a couple of thyroxine pills for the rest of time. (the good thing in england not sure about scotland is that these and any other prescriptions you should ever require will now be free)
As i'm preggers i have to be closly monitored by an obstretrion (sp) to avoid any complications.
Any ques dont hestitate to ask.
