would be a fine thing but Bubbles cant be trusted to be in the living room on his own as he's started trying to go down the back of the telly and already broken 1 ornament in the process and when he's shut in the living room on his own he just pulls at the door and the carpet and yowls :( xx

Oh they are little buggers aren’t they but you can’t help but love them. Any chance of him joining you in the bathroom?
I have a staff who is noise phobic and quite agoraphobic and on antidepressants. She is incredibly hard work, has to be muzzled as doesn’t like most other dogs but she loves people especially children and particularly men in a hi-viz. I look after her most of the time but she prefers my husband and he can get her out early in the morning or late evening BUT we love her to bits. I think we are soft touches haha

unfortunately the bathroom isn't big enough, its a council flat and bathroom is absolutely tiny, he cant walk the house during the day as my grandad comes in and out as he pleases so not safe in case he gets out :( I'd love a dog again but Bubbles wouldn't accept that, that's part of the reason his old owner sold him even though he was in the house first, the dog came with her boyfriend but Bubbles is in a much safer, happier and loving place now, I've always wanted a Staffie or a Rottweiler as they are absolutely amazing, I'm more nervous of small dogs as I've had chihuahuas nip at my ankles lol xx
 
Good morning 10.2,😳 got a call from the Devon Doctors at 10:30 last night asking if I was ok. The hospital phoned them with my yesterdays blood results, BGL was 1.6,😱 they said if I hadn`t responded to the phone a Paramedic would have been on its way. I knew I was low because as soon as I left the surgery I started sweating and shaking, good job I had someone with me who managed to get me into the car. I couldn`t test so just got the JB`s out and the glucose tablets, half an hour later still struggling more JB`s and gluco tabs, 10 minutes later ok.🙂 10 JB`s and six gluco tabs altogether, tested 4.1, went to my club to watch the cricket and something to eat, back up to 7.1 panic over.🙄

Good luck @Anitram.🙂

More {{{HUGS}}} @merrymunky.

{{{HUGS}}} for @Kaylz also.

Enjoy your day folks, take care.🙂
 
You are all very lovely people.

Woke to a 6.7 today which isn’t too bad considering the pig out we had yesterday! Another day of just not wanting to do anything so I’m just hiding in bed with Netflix on the iPad. It was nice to get out yesterday and I did have a nice time with my mum but I am exhausted today. Bumped into two people from work while we were out which made me feel awkward. One of them knew about the latest loss and just have me a hug but didn’t stop to talk as she didn’t want to upset me. The other had no idea so that was a fun conversation.

Ted, what are you like? 😱 Glad to hear you managed to get the levels up eventually 🙂 Do your team have any suggestions about why you dip so low? Any word on a possible CGM so you can be alarmed before you reach an alarming level? 😱 Hope you have a much better time of it now 🙂

With the weather the way it is this afternoon here in Poole you deserve a duvet day. One day at a time sending hugs x
 
Good Afternoon folks🙂

Late reporting cos of a busy morning of phone calls and plumber. The shower drain was blocked, which isn't much of a disaster in a wet room, but it did manage to kill my electronic scales. Oh well, i did get 10% discount for being disabled.:D

So now, washed, shaved and an unknown weight I can say i was 5.7 on waking. Spent most of yesterday fighting hypos, which was both annoying and a mystery. All part of the fun of T1. It doesn't do to fuss over days like that, they just occur once in a while.🙄

Now a bit of history. Today is the 200th Anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre at St Peter's Field in Manchester. 60,000 people had turned up, many in their Sunday best, to hear a speech by Henry "Orator" Hunt, a radical reformer. The crowd were entirely peaceful and attentive, but the local magistrates, opposed to parliamentary reform, issued a warrant for the arrest of Hunt and his cronies, and sent in the local yeomanry (consisting of young and very drunk tories) who rode in swinging their swords through the crowds. Many were injured in this attack, folk were killed. One woman had her breasts deliberately sliced off, one was a double killing of a woman and her unborn child. The magistrates, thinking the yeomanry were under attack sent in the regular cavalry - they rode the crowd down from one end, the yeomanry the other. !8 killed, 650 injured, many with life changing injuries. Henry Hunt was arrested, along with some others, including the reporter for The Times, which printed an excoriating criticism of the armed response to a peaceful meeting.

At that time, Manchester, with a population of 160,000, had no MP. Oxford University had 2. Old Sarum, with no population at all, had one. The massacre was a fundamental change point in the drive to full representation - among men. at least. It took another hundred years for women to get the vote. 2 years later, the first Manchester Guardian appeared. I've got the Guardian crossword in front of me - my dad always referred to it as the Manchester Guardian. It's still the only print newspaper that isn't owned by an interfering rich bloke with an opinion and/or peculiar habits.

Talking about rich blokes, Trump has finally gone off with the fairies. He wants to buy Greenland. There are 56,000 inhabitants, Inuit, mainly, who live round the edge. The edge is getting bigger as the glaciers melt. Only a lunatic would think he could buy a whole country. Oh, hang on a minute...:D

Have a good day folks, the weather improves next week.🙂

Scary mate.

Great that you have such a caring health team, time to restock the glucose, at least you didn't miss the cricket.

7.1 this morning and wet and miserable, but enough about me! Got an exciting weekend ahead. We’re off to Bury, of all places, where we will hop onto a steam train this evening dressed in our finest, we will then enjoy a fine dinner with music and entertainment all whilst hurtling through the countryside. After all that excitement we will totter ( well I will, high heels and me aren’t the best of friends these days) back to our Premier Inn where, if Lenny Henry is to be believed, I will sleep like a baby. On Sunday we will feel refreshed, eat our Premier Inn full English and head back home unless someone can tell me if there’s anything worth stopping in Bury for. Never been and don’t know anything at all about the place. I’ll be chuffed if anyone has any suggestions and I promise not to go off the rails! 😉

06:57 BS 5.3. Happy with that! 🙂 Haven’t been in the 5’s for a while! Wish I could say it was all me but, I decided to up my Midnight Levemir by 2 units from 20 to 22 as it’s coming into the Autumn/Winter months, my breathing is still a bit difficult & physio is becoming a bit achey too in the colder mornings. 🙄 At the moment the daytime readings are still ok & it’s just the waking one that’s been rising a wee bit so, stick with an slight increase in Midnight Levemir only for now! 🙂

The sun has come out today & is peeping through a gap in my curtains: still cold though going for a call of nature & washing hands! Shivering but, icicles free, emoji! 😱:D

Another later than usual Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 Stay warm & enjoy the sun if it’s out where you are! 🙂
