    Thanks @themadvix, @teapot2, mostly, though the imposter syndrome is still going ‘aww shucks …’ 😂 @edinburgher, good thought! 😂 @Brewerspride, yes, so very different! @beanielou 😊

    Had a look at my test results on the NHS app - they have checked everything! 😳 Mostly okay - too high on B12 (I will stop my daily supplement until I speak to the doctor) and there is an issue with one of my liver results - I’ve had a Google and it may be something scary but more likely to be somewhat fatty liver due to being overweight and inactive. I’m going to not worry until 6th January …

    Finished work early! 🤩🎉

    Popped into morreesons to buy Mr KK a trout … (it was heaving!) he doesn’t know about this and was sadly compromising on a piece of salmon for Christmas Eve 😉 Hoping to keep this a secret until he turns up to his plate! 😊🤩 I put a second one and the salmon in the freezer for next year 😊

    Meanwhile, I treated myself to a macaroni cheese (so very bored of soup for lunch! 😂)  and a bouquet of lillies. I love the smell of lillies at Christmas 😊 And for those worried about Chloe, they are at the back of the sideboard, which is rammed with ‘stuff’ (various edibles!), so Madame won’t get near them … 😊
    Had the macaroni cheese with three large tomato halves (there was one lurking in the fridge! 😂) and the end of the bag of sprouts from the weekend, so I am ready for all new stocks of both those now 😊

    Just having a brew and then I must get on with some cleaning ….

    EDIT: My parents’ Christmas pot arrived yesterday evening 😊

    Aw what a brilliant message 🥰 so very well deserved too! How nice to be appreciated 😊!

    I shouldn't say this but I'm hoping they find something on my blood tests as I'm so fed up of feeling exhausted now. Something has to be not right 🤔 so I await mine and kind of hope it's an easy fix that they will spot! 😊
