Wirralass I love your avatar. I hope your pain starts easing soon. I’ve heard of Epsom salts in a bath to to ease pain/bruising never tried it though, I hope it works for you. I use Arnica gel, it’s difficult to get hold of though.

How did you sleep? I imagine it was painful and hard to be comfortable. It is probably the pain and painkillers, causing the rise. I remember laughing was forbidden with my broken ribs, so no jokes from anyone today! 😉
I wish you a better day, so horrible for you. take care 🙂

Thank you NJ ~ yes I was wondering if that was the case of my levels rising ~ I found it painful to turn over a few times but did manage to have about 10hrs sleep in all, so not bad really. The effects of the painkillers are similar to that of sleeping tabs! Ooooo I daren't laugh ~ or cough:( x

Good morning my lovelies 🙂 late on today but I'm busy moving files on the laptop to try and create storage space for updates 🙄 have a feeling I might be at this all day! Lol, anyways was a 6.0 for me this morning, got my shopping done last night and happy to report that for the first time EVER I managed to get everything on my list, I nearly fainted! Lol, got some Burgen to try so looking forward to sampling that tomorrow, have a fab day folks! :D xx

That's great K. I love Burgen soya & linseed toasted ~ I've even fried a slice to have with bacon and eggs and made sure it was crispy not soggy! x
 
I woke with a rather disconcerting 8.1 this morning. Dead straight line overnight, mind. Time for another fiddle with bedtime Levemir.😳

An over my comfort zone 7.4 this morning. I blame my sis in law, her delicious home made sweet mince pie and absolute insistence that I should sample one! 🙄

Gosh a 7.4 for me this morning and no idea why ~ unless the painkillers are having an adverse effect on my bgls? Hope you all have a good start to the week folks, take care.

Don’t be worrying about slightly higher levels WL. I’ve had some kind of health issue going on this past fortnight and my b/g’s have gone slightly berserk! It’s very disheartening but the body is pushing out the hormones to cope with the injury and it just has an effect on levels. Take care x

Yep trying a couple of slices toasted for breakfast 🙂 hope I like it!! Lol, if so I may try it fried too on a Sunday haha, most people seem to like it so really hoping I do too although will be hard to get as the Tesco in the next town stopped stocking it 8 days ago! xx

Next time you do a shop K, buy 2 Bergen loaves if you can, so you can put one in the freezer. I usually freeze 4 slices at a time in plastic freezer bags otherwise the bread would go mouldy before I'd finish it by the expiry date. Personally I prefer Burgen toasted and have ham ~ cheese ~ or bacon toasties etc oh and any form of egg as well, yumyum! You dont have to acquire a taste for Burgen ~ you either like it🙂 or you don't :( x

Well I intend to open it tonight and bag 2 slice servings up and freeze them, cant fit a whole loaf in at a time though as its a big fridge/small freezer we have with 1 bigger drawer and a tiny drawer that already has 3 pots of soup that I bought last night and loads of bacon in! lol
