Nodule, think I'll know by the 30th if it's the C-word or nothing. Likely nothing/just a precaution to enable me to be put on the transplant list (kidney); came about from a carotid ultrasound. The last test (for now) for all that. I'm just burnt out from all the testing I've gone through since March...especially when I've not been subject to anything like it in my 50 years prior, especially over a prolonged time. Whining like a beyotch I am; just burnt out and XMas has always been my chill time over the years.

All the best mate. Mine came as a result of a general check up when I was 35 - nothing specific being looked for but when the doctor was on my throat for 15 minutes with the ultrasound I knew she'd found something. Every year they tell me it hasn't increased in size, and my blood tests always show the correct levels, etc, so I don't worry about it. Have never had a biopsy so I just place my trust that the doctors know what they're talking about. Hope you'll be absolutely fine - it's definitely a worry when something like this can't be explained away quickly.
 
Christmas Eve 4.30pm right now - and I'm nearly over it already.

First off is the Aussie / NZ female obsession of, when invited anywhere, you Have ! to bring a contribution to the meal,
aka, 'bring a plate'
What do you want me to bring?
Nothing we've got shed loads its all sorted
I'll bring some roast pork
No need - it's covered
So Mrs degsys daughter in law rocks up with half a kin supermarket - then goes out for stuff she forgot
Without checking what we have already got
Add to that she's a manipulative passive aggressive, it's all about me, woke infant teacher
Well my patience is sorely tried and I'm manfully biting my tongue

Thank 'k it's only once a year

Not really, I'm about to sit down to watch DieHard so I totally get the whole Christmas thing - no bigger Christmas lover than me
I can assure you.
When I go to their house I abide by their rules, customs and practice and don't try to take over
But I get told when they come to my house - don't cause a fuss...(and I mostly don't.)
It just boils my water.
I can stick it for another 36 hrs
*pours single malt

And dont even get me started on wishy washy helicopter parenting
Let's go to bed now, kid pulls face, or would you like some custard, I know let's watch a movie.

Put the kin kid to bed or Santa won't come - no options

We need a grumpy old man section in the Oldies thread
 

If anyone's at a loss at what to buy their other half, House of Fraser are currently doing 20% off £250 gift cards.

Yeah yeah, Mike Ashley is a blert but at least he made the horse punchers cry... So you know, swings and roundabouts.

If we don't hear from you after Christmas, we know what's happened, and it was nice knowing you.

its a £20 calendar, which might be more than I have. We have been together 15+ years, have a kid so it's not really that big a deal. I think there should be a worldwide ban on anyone over 18 years old giving Christmas presents anyway

Spurs loss, ironically is also your pain, the pain of Everton that cuts through a thousand souls a minute. I suffer em to. Not drank caffeine in over a decade though, never been happier! ...

Ah, caffeine. I'm about to have my second strong coffee of the morning. Mrs TT is still in bed, suffering with a cough-related bug. Probably best not to be too hyper (it's bad enough I have ADHD) but I have yet to kick the caffeine habit.

Mind you, I reckon yesterday was my first alcohol-free birthday since 1970. I didn't realize it until around 10.30 last night. I had a couple of 0.0% Peronis to celebrate after a poorly Mrs TT collapsed into bed.
