Once again, a big thank you to everyone who has responded to my last 2 posts. I'm soaking up the suggestions like a sponge and will work my way through them until I find what works for me. I tried ringing the GP this morning and got nowhere, so Gray drove me down to the surgery ( in pouring rain!) where I spoke to the receptionist and explained the problem with the prescription and my symptoms. I asked whether my last blood test included tests for B12 and Folate deficiency as I couldn't tell from the App and she said no, it didn't. She completed an online form for me (for triage) and called me back around an hour later telling me to go for another blood test which I had to book myself online. As luck would have it, there was just one slot left for Friday afternoon which I snapped up. Sometimes you have to wait for 2 weeks for a blood test so I count myself lucky. It will therefore be about a week before I know any more 😞 Meanwhile, I now have a nasty metallic taste in my mouth to deal with as well....

Feeling very sorry for myself, I decided to buy a couple of cheap books for my Amazon Fire tablet and was pleasantly surprised to find that I still had a £6 credit on my account that I had forgotten about. I splashed out on 2 books @ 99p each, both from favourite authors; Milly Johnson and Trisha Ashley. Trisha's book is her new one, The Christmas Retreat, which I have on order from the library so I can cancel the library reservation and let someone else have it 😀 And I still have credit left on my Amazon account 😊

The village Christmas light switch on was lovely, if wildly chaotic. We didn't realise that so many people actually lived in the village! Or perhaps they didn't. After all, 6 of our own family members joined us to watch the fireworks and afterwards we all piled in to the pub (which was rammed to the doors) We did manage to find a small table and a few extra chairs. Hot turkey cobs were quickly ordered along with mulled wine and beer, and lemonade for me (I would have loved a mulled wine 😔 )
Afterwards, we walked up the hill back home, like a slightly tipsy crocodile, where I made everyone hot chocolate. It was great !
Have you had a lights switch on near you?

Thanks for popping in. Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,
Angie 💗
