At this time four years ago I was lying in a hospital bed in A&E, I have never felt that bad and I'm going to make sure I never do again! 🙂 The main thing on my mind was would I get out in time to go and run the Stockholm Marathon five days later? Answer was no...

Have bought myself 3 Magnums to celebrate, which I shall consume at appropriate intervals throughout the day 🙂

Happy Dia-versary Alan - enjoy those Magnums ("other ice cream brands are available") xx
 
Happy Diaversary indeed Alan!

I'm more than happy for anyone else to consume the Magnums. I don't like them! (except they did do a dark choc one, with some dark red fruit goo in the middle that WERE nice - reminded me of a Walls 'Heart'. Ab fab.)
 
Happy diaversary Alan... Think you should eat 4 magnums (the 4th being for me he he he :D)
 
And just think, without that 'special' day, you would never have met any of us lovely lot. How boring your life would have been!

You have been an inspiration and a rock to so many of us on here, you truly deserve those Magnums. Enjoy! Happy D-Day!

Enjoy your Magnums :D Happy dia-versary
 
is that 3 magnums of champagne? 3 magnum ice-creams (mmm, very tempting in this weather) or ... :D😛

Happy diaversary!
 
I couldn't do 3 Magnums of champagne in a day either.

I'm terribly out of practice .......... :D
 
Happy D Day - Hope you enjoy the magnums...you deserve them...enjoyyyyy xxx🙂
 
Happy Diaversary, Alan hope you enjoy the rest of your magnums 🙂.
 
Thanks everyone! I've been quite good today actually, much better than in previous years. I think I have noticed a gradual aversion to unhealthy eating, so that now it's only a little treat (I've only had one magnum 🙂). In past years I've been to a Beer Festival, had a massive cake, or had a complete blowout, but this year I haven't felt any such desire. Perhaps it's the hot weather suppressing my appetite 🙂
 
Happy Diaversary Alan,
hope the sun shone all day for you as well 🙂
 
Happy Diaversary!🙂 Katie
 
Happy Dia-versary!

I would say that I hope your magnum hasn't skyrocked your bg...but with this weather...no chance!!!
 
Happy Diaversary Alan - I didn't realise you had only been diagnosed 4 years - but i do echo previous comments that that day led to us meeting you and the terrific work you do on here!

Pleeeaaase tell me it wasn't a white chocolate one!🙄

No, I was at 5.1 two hours after eating it! 🙂
