Next one is strictly due on boxing day, so that'll be fun ;-)

Plus side, decapeptyl day so testosterone is being banished to the shadow realm once more.

Today, a tale of two parts.

Act I: Oooh. That dress looks nice on me.

Act II: Come forth the blowy winds of weather and reveal to all what I had for lunch.

I think my first set of full bloods was around the 300pmol/l mark, which is the very bottom of what Doc Hammond targets for the over 40s.

Glad to hear you're still enjoying the name :)

Birthy hapday!

Fingers crossed for a safe and comfortable trip!

Yeah. And without the order being placed, they wouldn't even have had the info on who to mail ;-)

Today's mini-rant. If you're going to pull that bullshit stunt of "Hey, you left this in your basket", it's particularly infuriating when you didn't actually leave it in your basket because you actually ordered the damned thing and got an order confirmation exactly an hour earlier.

In which case, the bed plan is an excellent one..

Just to check, this is actual bush trimming not euphemistic bush trimming?

28.09.2025 10:32 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Entirely fair. :)

Doing pretty good.. Somehow we've moulded a decent and likeable one! ;-)

26.09.2025 12:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

A solid choice so long as you remember over the next few days that you had it...

Dammit. You've just made me want to go pick up a pack of rollmops! And I'm not even on spiro... ;-)

Urgh. Teenager's NI number just arrived in a letter from HMRC.

Feeling old now.

My credit card bill is thankful for the temporary relief :)

Brown is not a colour that comes to mind when I think of you!

Almost the weekend, but also payday here, so yay! \o/

The only thing that is too young for us are jetpacks. HTH.

* minimal difference, but enough to make you think "hmm, that's a bit more borderline than i'd like" ;-)

24.09.2025 11:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I did my passport first, but I wanted to be sure that the camera van I'd passed a little faster than I'd have liked* a week earlier was 100% going to be the non-issue I expected it to be before embarking on changes to driver number :)

24.09.2025 11:21 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah, I'd assume it's okay to wait and do both at once, so long as you're not using the passport in the deadname for any purposes in the meantime.

Basically, treat it as a passport that's expired that you've not renewed yet.

24.09.2025 10:58 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I did my passport about 3 months or so after my deedpoll, which in turn was only about 1.5 months after my diagnosis letter.

24.09.2025 09:59 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Fairly usual stuff here. On call this week, but at least it's payday on Friday.
