Today I bought 2 balls of wool. I swore that I would not spend my retirement knitting, however I was somehow compelled due to other posters here to go out and buy some wool to make a neck cowl. I found knitting needles at home that haven’t been used in 30 years. I have moved house 4 times...

I was very cold and I had a blood test and was diagnosed with an underfunctioning thyroid. I take levothyroxine now. I am still a cold person but not as much

I had plantar fasciitis from wearing too many flat Converse sneakers. It was cured when I was stuck in Spain in strict lockdown (7 weeks!) when we were all confined to our houses apart from the dog walkers. I am making sure I am getting shoes with arch support now.

Me too. Not happy to be hugged by anyone. The occasional pat is about the extent of my demonstrativeness. We kiss lightly on the cheeks within the family. I’m happy to touch elbows now.

I’d like these but I have way too many boots and shoes.

Yes it is a very strict treatment. I had to have blood tests every 6 weeks and the number of tablets is based on your weight. It can affect the liver very badly so no alcohol allowed. I had 3 months of treatment, my lips were very dry and the inside of my nose needed Vaseline. It was...

My e My elderly neighbour needed some stamps. Luckily he told me about 2 weeks ago and I was able to get the Christmas stamps and the queue was only 5 people. £19 something for 30 2nd class stamps. I paid by credit card and showed him the receipt so he could pay me back

I’m happy to shop in A or L but my partner thinks Sainsburys or Iceland are better! Did a £50 shop in Lidl today for some of our Xmas food.

Opposite happened to me. We got one and I moved 6 months later!

Nor Hastings which has loads of people down from London DFL. I have asked for a Waitrose but only received an email saying that it was not in their plans. We can get Ocado deliveries but I prefer to browse and the nearest Waitrose is 17 miles away.

Thx. I might go to the doctor and get something prescribed. I even had 2 treatments of roaccutane years ago. A miracle treatment.

I The spectacles look good. Apparently they can shrink wrap the frames but unfortunately not on my pair.

What brand are you using? Is the Assam retinol range good? My skin has started playing up again after I had to stop using HRT 18 months ago due to a health problem. Now my adult acne (I’m 66!) has started up again and I’m running short of Alpha H liquid gold. Also I have to be careful where I...

today’s arrival was an Alexa Show. My first Alexa. I love it. We have our calendars on it. I can search for recipes, set timers, play music, write a shopping list.

I differentiate left from right by thinking which hand I write with, to work it out. I’m left handed so to know where left is I raise my left hand

I nipped in to M&CO in town to pull up my tights that were falling down. Strange because other pairs in the range are all fine. Anyway whilst there I had a look around and can out with a denim skirt reduced to 11.99. I hadn’t got a bag and I didn’t want OH to see so I wear it under the skirt...

LOL. I was pretty insane until I went on HRT. Now unfortunately I am off the HRT but have to take anti depressants due to the hideous hot flushes so now I am a lot more chilled.

Yes I got on, though it sorted suspended me from time to time. I bought nothing.

I think I had better keep out of the supermarkets until after New Year with all this nice food around.

I know a new bag is on its way now but try rubbing the other zip with a pencil. It often unstiffens the zips.
