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.

to reassure you about the cholesterol thingie, if they had tested your blood a year ago, a 5.2 would have been acclaimed as perfect, but they shifted the goal posts, so mine, which is a 5.3 is now thought to be danger danger danger as well. Even the nurse sort of tutted and said "well, if they will keep changing things around!", so PAH!

you mean they haven't tried to put you on statins yet with a cholesterol of 5.2! I am surprised

I am both happy and amazed that mine remains around 4.1,
