Dinkie Dawnies Dubious Diary of Downsizing, Deflation, and Debauchery

The concert was lovely and Andrew was amazing at helping out! We made a brilliant team and got all the hot punch and mince pies out on time, served and then a washed up in time to see most of the second half! Not bad considering there were about 100 people there all together. And I only had one tiny stollen cake and one glass of punch!

Yes it was Christmas songs and carols. My husband Gwyn is welsh and sings in two choirs. One choir had their concert last night and the other one is tonight!

Woke up this morning with half my face feeling really hard and closing up my eye a little. Took tablets at nine and had to wait an hour before having breakfast ... But I'm not feeling like eating tbh. Not sure if its the tablets or the ongoing problem with a family member that's making me feel like this :(

Still in my pj's and dressing gown. Gwyn has just gone to church and Andrew, Daniel, vicki and Matt are still in bed as they all had late nights. Dan and his ex girlfriend are off to London today to a PKU cooking conference in the science museum. He has been on a special low protein diet since he was 2 weeks old so these conferences are really useful for ideas. And I'm glad Katy is going with him. They lived together for a while but it didn't work out but they remain the best of friends. In fact I embarrass them regularly by trying to get them back together again as I love Katy!!!

Suppose I should get moving really ... Get in the shower and do some housework, see what we're having for dinner. Think I'll skip breakfast for now and see if I fancy something after my shower.

See you later xxx
 
Oh you poor thing Dawn. It sounds so painful. I'm not sure what to suggest apart from some things you can't influence or change so try not to stress over those. Your health has to come first.

Well done for doing such a great job last night at concert. Also for resisting all the nice food and drink.

Look after yourself and I'd say go back to dr if you're not feeling any better

I just don't know Penny x you try not to worry about things, and u think you're not, but you must be deep down inside!

I've been really brave, covered myself in makeup and come to support Gwyn at his other choir concert. I'd rather be in my dressing gown, snuggled up on the sofa but I can't let him down. And actually it'll probably do me good to be out of the house.

I'll pop my food on now and then update when I get home.

Lol x I think you and I are quite similar Penny. The more we try not to worry, the more we worry!

The concert was brilliant thanks! Very informal and a real laugh. AND I refused the mince pies and wine AGAIN! Although I did have 2 little stollens as I didn't have any tea.

Omg!!! Dabster!!! You're back! Ooh I'm coming to find u in a minute!


As I was saying earlier, the concert was great. Loads of people there too and all proceeds going to cancer research. I won the raffle too, 3 times actually, but have the second winning ticket to the little girl sitting next to me and had the third one drawn again!

I must admit I didn't really want to go out looking and feeling the way I do, but I'm glad I went. I just plastered a load of makeup on and kept my glasses on all night!

So food has been a bit hit and miss today. I couldn't stomach breakfast but my lunch of egg, bacon and tomatoes was yummy! I had a yoghurt too which I forgot to write down and was 1/2 a syn. I took my tablets when I got in at ten tonight as they have to be taken on an empty stomach, but that meant waiting till eleven to eat so I didn't bother. Made a milky coffee (A) and came to bed! I did have that stollen earlier anyway but not sure on syns., I'm guessing 8 syns for two.

So...10.5 syns, 2 x A's and 1 x B

Not a bad day considering I'm a bit under the weather :)
 
Morning girlies :)

Feeling not too bad atm, although I'm still in bed as very late getting to sleep last night. Face isn't any better still but I don't think it's worse either so that's good. I think the tablets are keeping it at bay and preventing it from getting worse. I will go back to the doctors tomorrow or Wednesday if there's no sign of improvement.

Lovely sunny but cold morning today. I quite fancy doing my mountaineering bit and climbing up into the garage rafters to get the Christmas tree and decorations down. Vicki isn't working today and I know she'd love to do that.

Right I'm getting up now! Have a good day and I'll be back soon! Xx
 
Evening Dawnie - glad that all the concerts went well for Gwyn and that you and Vicki successfully delivered the punch and mince pies.
Well done on not eating any last night and pah to 2 little stollens.
Hope you had a good day decorating the tree.
 
Hellooooo!

Lovely day! Spent most of it up a ladder in the garage trying to find the Christmas lights/tree/decorations...and then back up the ladder to hang them up. Vicki decorated the tree while Gwyn and I put the lights up outside. It was a really nice way to spend the day and we all enjoyed it.

Gwyn has 2 concerts tomorrow but I don't need to go to either of them so I'll probably try to have a quiet day. I might look online for some last minute presents and write my cards out.

Food has been good again today. I'm starting to feel like I'more in control now :)

Loving the Christmas decorations and tree and so glad you had a nice day. How's your face doing? Do go back to the dr if its not improved any more.
I have written most the Christmas cards and just keep giving a few a day to Paul to sign ad write in. If I gave him the whole lot he would have a fit but a few a day seem to be manageable!!
Have a lovely day x
 
Evening ladies AND Sarah!!! ;)

Didn't quite get the day I had originally planned! I decided to see if I could see the skin doctor today so went up to the surgery first thing. The receptionist was lovely and said he was at the other surgery and she would book me in for 10.20. Anyway I went back to see him and he said its a form of the cold sore virus but on my cheek. Apparently it's very rare to get it there...just my luck! And like cold sores, it's likely to recur, particularly if I get stressed or under the weather. I also have rosacea which is another chronic condition! So basically I have to finish the course of tablets I'm on and then go onto a lower dose antibiotic ufn. If I get the tingling feeling that I'm about to have a recurrence, I'm to get a doctors appointment the same day so they can start me on the antiviral meds again. So not the best of news but I suppose there's a lot worse I could have. It's happened 3 times now. The first was a couple of weeks before Gwyn and I got married and I was really stressed, the second was a few months ago when I was working all hours and not sleeping, and now this time which has occurred within a couple of days of this stupid family problem. I haven't slept properly for days because of it, and I can't seem to shake off this sense that I feel I'm always breathing in and not out again, like I'm hyped up and ready to explode! So it does appear that this condition is definitely stress related. But how on earth do u DEstress???

Decided to go see my mum after the appointment which was great as I hadn't seen her for a while. We had a coffee and a natter and a good old moan lol! On the way home I called into Asda and picked a few bits up so it was gone 2 by the time I got home. Couldn't eat then as I'd got pills to take so I got busy making Daniel some low protein veg pasties from one of his recipe books. I'm useless at making pastry and Dans lp pastry is rather fragile, so they took me nearly 3 hours to make but I was pleased with how they turned out :) I split the pastry mix into two and added curry powder to one and dried parsley to the other, just to cheer them up a bit! Anyway, Daniel LOVED them so it was all worth while! And I've got loads to put in the freezer for another day :)

Forgot to say that when I came home, a neighbours cat trotted into the house with me! Suki went mad! Thought I brought her a playmate!
