Secret Nan Diary

I've come to the conclusion that I should never read my old diaries. I have just read last Christmas day's entry and I had forgotten how we had all had a lovely day until AJ�kicked off and caused a massive row with me after SJ and MS had gone to bed. I had totally forgotten you how upset I was. �I never could figure out why she did it. �But it has made me very sad again to read it.

Mind you I am already feeling a bit off emotionally today after receiving the letter to ring the surgery about my blood test last Thursday. The receptionist told me that it was an adverse reading and this is why the doctor needs to speak to me. I am sure she was never meant to tell me that. I have made an appointment to have a telephone consultation with Dr Jenny on Wednesday morning. � I am sure she is just going to tell me that my cholesterol reading is above the 5 and will therefore put me back on Simvastatin. �However that doesn't stop me having a little niggle of worry about it.

MS also contacted me this morning, via Skype, asking me if I could meet with him for lunch to discuss the fact that he has now learnt his lesson and is hoping that SJ and he can get back together again. �I simply told him it was between him and SJ and I was going to keep out of it. He felt it was okay to contact me because SJ had just told him to keep away from her family for two weeks and the two weeks is now up.� I will of course tell SJ about it but I don't want her really to let him know that I have told her. �But that of course is up to her.

I have had fun this morning though. I've made a start on the boxes for Christmas that I am going to make up for everybody's presents this year. I thought if I didn't make a start soon it would be a mad rush nearer Christmas.

Some things that I put in their boxes are going to be bought and other things I am going to make. Today I had the idea of giving them each a game. First of all I thought of things like marbles and jacks and other old-fashioned games, but then I thought about more grown up games.

What I have decided to do is to buy each of them a pretty 2 oz tobacco tin and in that tin put a game. The games I have chosen are, Bingo, Shut the Box, Yatzee and Farkle. �I had never heard of Farkle before, but I came across it on the web when I was looking for scorecards to print off for one of the other games. In each of the tins I will put any dice, notepad, scorecards, pencils and such that each game needs. I don't know yet to whom I will give which game. �I have also made a start on picking out the tobacco tins on Amazon that I will buy for the games though.
