My, I'm so cheery at the moment.

Those blood tests I had on 3 Janary? I got the results today (not them being late; me forgetting to call).

My cholesterol level is 5.2 (slightly high) and I've been advised to stay on my low-fat diet. Except I'm not on a low-fat diet. I suppose I'd better make an effort, though, having seen the trouble it's giving Dad.

The thyroid tests? My worst nightmare has come true; I'm not ill, just lazy and greedy :( My TSH level is 2.15 (normal range being 0.3 to 3, with higher numbers being closer to hypothyroidism) and my serum free T4 is 14.9. Which confuses me rather, since normal is 4.5-12.5, with higher being nearer to hyperthyroidism. Odd.

So anyway, I'm to cut back on things like chips and chocolate & cheese and fried rice & curries and all the nice stuff. Boo :(

Meanwhile, I'm wrestling with FRS17 disclosures, deferred tax treatment of such, and actuaries' reports. My life gets more exciting by the minute.

Sorry about the results Pudding.

Hope you can still find nice things to eat that won't clog up your blood pipes.

Like carrots!

But only if they're cooked by you!

Or me! I do vegetables (other than sprouts) by putting them in boiling water, returning it to the boil, then turnign it off & draining them. Hot & crunchy and lovely :)

Sprouts get an extra 5 mins, but only cos they're so dense.

Blech! No matter how you cook sprouts, they'll be minging!

Sprouts are the work of Beelzebub.

Wasn't there a plan to get PC an organic box and teach her how to cook with the contents?
I had a lovely stirfry with carrots, Brussels sprouts and onions last night (and for lunch today) with everything except the salt being organic or at least free-trade.

I had a sausage, cheese and bean pasty from Greggs for lunch

As you don't eat that sort of thing all the time, that's not a problem at all.
