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, (may also be attributed to cake)... dry skin, thinning hair or feeling v cold (I did think this was a symptom of being in Scotland in winter though...), 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)

Knickers. Looks like it's a trip to the quacks for me then :rotfl:

I am taking Mr F to the docs on Friday for his monthly check up, so will try and make an appointment for me at the same time.

In more exciting news than health issues, I have booked an appointment to remove a minimum of six inches of hair, strip out the black hair dye and then go red In previous bonus years I would have booked in at the local salon (Largest price paid, £122) but this year I am doing it at the local hairdressing college....£33 :j

Thank you kindly! I'm not getting it cut until the end of the month but am planning to have before and after on my FB if you want a look!

Happy Mother's Day to you and all the other mums

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?

Welcome to the world of stardrops! I am sure you will soon be worshipping at it's altar (It perfomed the miracle of nailvarnish & emulsion out of carpet at Floozie towers)

Wowza! Maybe it will be able to get the low-level grime out of everything at Fresian Towers I'll be giving it a bash in the kitchen and living room shortly!

Oh nice one on the bonus front! Really pleased for you. Oh, and I do like the hair colour by the way as posted on FB. Nice to put a face to the name too now!

Wasted 20 minutes of my life doing a 4000 point (75p) Toluna survey only to be screened out on the final page. Have e-mailed them to object to this. Currently at 13000 points and have run out of sponsored polls to do. Its so very very very very very dull. Why oh why did I talk myself into rejoining them?????

I amn't going to the movies today as my friend thought we were going to the half five showing and I could only manage the half two showing. Oops.

So, we went to Morrisons (High tea for £1.99 is not to be sneezed at) and I got some bargains including coffee and sauce. I also bought a couple of much-needed storage boxes which were 2 for £5

I returned the expensive curtains to B&Q so that will be almost £50 taken off the credit card :A

Tesco yielded some reduced Willow Farm chicken (Posh!) and the usual glut of 65p milk. I also managed to get some baby clothes for my new niece in the sale as well as a hangeruppery for the gallons of shampoo in the bathroom.

A productive day all in all :T

Busy day. Let me know when you're next available for dinner and a movie and I'll come into town to meet you.

Congrats on the bonus I am sure it is well deserved:D Make sure you treat yourself.

Shame about you not getting to see the film I am going this evening hopefully it will be good, I did enjoy the book I am in the middle of the second one now.

The hair colour will be fabulous, I have red bits in mine at the moment and it always makes me feel more fun (no idea why it just does:p)
