Wasn't going to post but need to get this out of my system, only BFF to talk to . Don't tell but need a break as she does my head sometimes!!!! Its wet and windy and just cant be bothered to go out. I know I will end up cooking something to take my mind off being "alone" and need to slow down on food intake so its not a good thing. Got carried away food shopping yesterday for Xmas treats like fancy cheese (big wedge of stilton and 2 others) and spent twice my normal . As off sick my income this month will be poor but going to enjoy myself and" worry" about it next year . Need to go online and fill in form to claim social payment but my heads not in it , that's the dyslexic thing and have to be in the mood or will be kicking laptop. I hate paperwork!!!!!! Kitchen calling and going to make some fancies , left over icing to use and think a cherry sponge mix will do . Then might do some cherry and some plain or raisin, will see.Feeling better after this "talk" XXXXXXXX to everyone.

Know wonder I felt off yesterday, coming down with a cold/cough.  Cold and damp in my unit today and car said 6 deg c  when I came home at 2pm . Made some Gram flour pancakes  to go with curry for tea, they taste eggy from just flour, water mix with onion, green chilli, and grated ginger. Soft and spongy, just right with spicy food. The girls are firming up again and filling out so looks like the extra E is working.

Yay for Oestrogen and firmer bigger boobs lol...

Glad the extra is having the desired effect.

Need to pick up blood test results to see if levels are up. BFF is speaking to me again!!!! She got in a tizz as she needed milk and I didn't get her any or call in, C*** the keyboard player got her some anyway. Going to help pack her holiday suitcase tonight, not that good at it but probably a lot better than her . Managed to make wooden "buck" for the spacer that I need making for panel van brake mod, Shame too far from Chelsea as sort of thing she would make. Starting to design camper interior , needs a girly touch and thinking do I paint murals on roof like before and fake windows on inner side panels ? Want to use the green material that covered cushions before to make cover for bed foam . Paint the doors for cupboard units as well , some already painted and will be hard to strip . Need to get my fem creative head on

[davina61]

cooked these the other day, iced fancies and made this chick pea flour fudge then today tried @Michellep's cookie recipe

[davina61]

Went shopping with mum and auntie and uncle yesterday, found a large rug for sitting room with the same colours as curtains in it . Red, grey that match and black, maroon and pink squares and blocks. The best bit was the price reduced from £49.95 to 30.95 and as it had got wet from previous day (open market) got it for 30. Got a picture frame for the pic of grand kids and a small mantle clock from charity shop, finished Christmas shopping as well!! Last night managed to drag BFF to open mic night, the lad that plays the beat box came in and gave the ladies a kiss on the cheek got to me and went to shake my hand, changed his mind and gave me a hug and kiss on cheek (would have been better without the initial shake but will take it) . Going to do a little bit on van now.

Got my latest HRT blood test results, the T level is up but that didn't surprize me as I thought the nurse made a mess of mixing the serum . T is 0.5 (from 0.4) nmol/L and E is up to 203 pmol/L

@davina61
Dear Davina:
I am thinking that your reported T level change is not too big of an issue...  it can always vary from test to test but the good news is that your E level is up and at a good number.

Like you said, it would have been better if the "beat box lad" would have NOT done the handshake initially... and just given you a hug and a kiss on the cheek...  but, you did the the hug and kiss so that is good news.

All of your "baking" pictures look terrific....  I have also been doing a lot of baking lately, I usually make cookie and candy treat plates to give to my friends at Christmas time...  I have already done a few, I will soon probably post some photos of the end result of that effort on my thread.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your blood test results and your tasty looking pictures of your baking results.

Hugs and well wishes,
Danielle

Have been handing out the cookies as well , took some to my second cousin and he had 2 with his tea break (my lock up is in his garden) and said they were great. Watching some Christmas cooking programs , will make my own stuffing and roasts with a twist. Just hope it all works------------

[davina61]

Started Christmas early , cheese and port after dinner!!! Made cookies and took them with some presents , called in on BFF on way back and found her pissed as a rat . 3 bottles of Carver worth, managed to get her to bed and left her to sleep it off. She did have a meal first , made sure she was settled and safe. Taking her shopping tomorrow morning then its prep time for Tuesdays feast.

I bought some port wine cheese spread.  It has port wine in it.  It tastes pretty good.

Managed to drag the wreck of a BFF to the shops!!!!!Got the stuff she needs for her trip to Oz and got myself some new knickers and nail varnish I wanted. Tried the voice out in the car on way to shop , BFF said its ok (she is a singer so can tell!!) but cant give it any volume . More practice then. Spent the afternoon making sage and onion stuffing from scratch, pigs in blankets, bacon stuffing rolls and stuffing balls . Cocktail sausages in mustard/honey glaze and thyme butter and orange slices under turkey crown skin. Need to set alarm to get it all done for a 1pm sit down, made a list in order and just hope it all fits in oven in time. Cant wait to see what the "girly" gift is from my aunt, open my mums gift that I know ( food mixer) , have one from daughter  and mum said ex has left a bottle for me today . My sister has given me a miniature rose in a pot with pale yellow flowers, the leaves are sprinkled with gold!!

Nice day with my mum, she said lunch was great (TBH came out better than I expected ) Turkey was moist , roasts crisp, the whole baked veg was full of taste (done in foil parcel with herbs, olive oil and garlic) , stuffing recipe I used was great and gravy was the best ever made with turkey juices, chicken stock, chicken gravy granules and a good dash of red! Mixer from mum is good but not sure if it will go on cupboard , 2 framed photos of grand kids from daughter and some nice skin care gift set from Auntie. Having a lovely day , BFF went to her sisters. Done 1 1/2 bottles of red so far MERRY CHRISTMAS one and all XXXXXXXX
