Hi Davina,

I am glad to hear you avoided a trip to the doctor and are feeling quite a bit better. You probably starved yourself too so get some of that good Davina food into you girl.

Hugs,
Laurie

Davina,

Congrats, if this marks a year for you then you have been on Susan's longer than I have. I joined on January 23rd last year but towards the end of the month. I went to check my first post date a few days ago and found it missing. I lost well over a month of posts as they now start in March.
Happy Susanniversary, Girl.

Hugs,
Laurie

Well I only know as it said when I joined in my profile.

Laurie · January 07, 2018, 04:13:29 PM

Same for me now Davina. How are you feeling girl?

davina61 · January 07, 2018, 04:27:19 PM

Bloody rough, makes me cough when I talk . Gave up going to my lock up as its very cold with a bitter wind , fixed mothers living room light that stopped working . Transformer melted in strip light and blew trip so we went to town and got a new 4 spot LED to replace it. Didn't feel safe on steps fixing it up as a bit woozy but managed. Came back and made Samosa and they came out spot on (snacks for work) You plodding on OK girl?

Laurie · January 07, 2018, 04:38:35 PM

Yeah, I'm okay. I've only cried once so far today. It's usually more than that by now. It's early afternoon here so there is plenty of time. Need to put on some hair and run to the store for eggs, milk and beer for my sister. She's not feeling well today.

I hope you feel better soon, Davina! Chicken soup always makes me feel better (but that's probably just because I love to eat!)

davina61 · January 08, 2018, 03:04:00 PM

Laurie have a box of tissues on standby for you, P a chicken curry and get a sweat on. Made a Shepherds pie tonight but with a Keema filling and a dollop of veg curry.

p · January 09, 2018, 01:15:18 PM

Oooh chicken curry, even better! I am partial to chicken vindaloo myself.

davina61 · January 09, 2018, 02:29:13 PM

The only Vindaloo recipes I have are pork as it comes from Dutch East India co when they shipped pork in vinegar to preserve it.

Laurie · January 09, 2018, 11:58:59 PM

I can vouch for Davina's Pork Vindaloo recipe. I liked it but my sister thought it too vinegary. And I used less than the recipe called for. My sister has been having trouble with food tasting right for awhile due to her COPD medications so her opinion doesn't count. She is currently complaining that sweet food are tasting sour.

Hugs,
Laurie

p · January 10, 2018, 04:24:32 PM

Yum yum! I am glad you are getting your taste back!

davina61 · January 11, 2018, 04:05:32 PM

I just checked this out on ITV home page and it looks ok...was it any good?

I think women have a tendency to stare because women look at other women in ways that guys don't seem to with other guys.... women seem to notice me before the men do. Its weird

I watched Transformation Street last night. It was refreshing to see how normal it was presented, at least through my trans coated spectacles. Non of this headline grabbing shenanigans or twisting of facts, just normal, honest journalism.

I see you've got the birthdays directly after Christmas as well. It's like two months of constant wrapping of presents and cake.

How's the early days of HRT treating you? Hopefully sometime late this year I'll be joining you and I'm starting to allow myself to think about it more in preparation.

Peace and love and all that good stuff

They missed the point a bit, I am a woman in a mans body would have been a good statement. The one lady did put that across. HRT is starting to make itself known, right nipple is "sore" and bud is starting but left is still dormant. Cheeks look like filling out and a bit on hips, weight nearly at pre hols so hope it keeps coming down. Contemplating going to the drag race dinner dance but its just over £100 (80 single room) and would be on my own though I will know over 50% of folk there but will they be ready for me in my designer frock???

Laurie · January 12, 2018, 02:37:34 PM

Sadie,

I think this is the first I've read of you possibly starting HRT later this year. I think that's great! I can't wait to read that you are on the coaster ride with us.

Davina,

I think it would be cool if you could go though the price is a bit high for your budget isn't it? I would love to see pictures of you in a fancy frock!

Hugs to you both,
Laurie
