DH needed taking to the doctors as to top it all his thyroid isn't performing as it should (I just couldn't make this up!)

I don't want to be seen as giving medical advice in any way, but I just wanted to reassure you that (depending on what exactly his thyroid is doing or not doing) it doesn't have to be a massive problem. I used to feel so tired all the time and really sluggish and I just couldn't be bothered to do anything, and then I was told I had an underactive thyroid. I now take one small pill a day as a man-made substitute for the thyroid hormone, and I'm definitely starting to feel more like myself again. Fingers crossed it's nothing serious for your DH, and *hugs* for you. Keep calm, deep breaths, and think of Christmas

Peppapig

Ms Gigglewick, I wish my flops looked like that lol. You and Nana are amazing with your baking. Love the elves - were they the ones that took all the feeling to find or have I got myself confused?

bunbun2

msgigglewick that is a fab cake. well done on finding 3 elves - I wimped out of lego feeling! i love your cushions too

mrs moneypenny my ds has his scouts Christmas party too this evening. they were given the option of wearing festive clothes - he chose not too!

feistyfidget I hope your OH is OK. the sugar free marshmallows tasted like normal ones but like most sugar free things they can have a laxative effect if too many are eaten so I limited the amount I ate!

I am off to my book group in a bit. It was my turn to choose the book and I have to lead the questions:eek: I am not looking forward to it as I am no good in situations where I have to take the lead. I will ask the questions and hopefully they will all just talk:D

mrs-moneypenny

what book did you choose bunbun? hope it went well for you.

martial arts club really quiet tonight only 3 students turned up - upside is i have more selection boxes left for us at christmas LOL

caretaker really pleased with his bottle

i managed to do a little bit on my christmas stocking, two little tiny round candy sweets are now embroidered, beaded, sequined stuffed and sewn on.

cant decided if to wrap read a book or do some more sewing - i have an hour to waste.

mrs-moneypenny

just watching christmas bake off programme, loving the look on marys face when paul suggested colouring the marzipan so the stollen has colour running through it.
i want a slice of stollen now
