Good morning. Must confess that I was not looking forward to take my readings this morning. Yesterday having a surfeit of leeks and potatoes I made Vichyssoise and I purchased a large rustic-type loaf. Succumbed to eating all of the soup and a large chunk of the bread. Woke however to a 5.0.
Good afternoon on a very overcast and windy day 4.8 for my troubles.🙄 Went for my walk this morning and called in at Lidl`s just a small queue controlled by security, I think/know I overdone the sunbathing after this mornings ablutions I noticed what I thought was dry skin turned out to be my scalp and forehead was peeling😳. My time as a snake has just started so if anybody has any rodents spare PM me and I`ll tell you were to send them.😱
Good morning folks .. I haven’t read any posts yet. I hope all is well with everyone.
Dad and I though we were getting over it, till it came back and said hi did you miss me.
I woke up this morning feeling better than I have but still very tired .
My insulin needs are still high .
Bruce’s mum managed to get 2 boxes of Quaker jumbo oats 1kg so that’s me got oats for nearly 2 months, haven’t heard about my new storage container for them leaving yet, she couldn’t get Tesco digestive biscuits for me (as many of you know my go-to when I’m a bit on the low side at bedtime) so she picked up Ms Molly’s (exclusive to Tesco) 19p cheaper! Only 31p a pack!
Anyway 6.9 for me today, unsure why but hey ho
@Ljc I hope you guys recover fully soon and you both start feeling much better
@Michael12421 not sure why you seem a tad disappointed as its perfectly acceptable
Xx
5.4 this morning, so pleased with that, had terrible craving for sugar last night so just had a few blueberries to try and take the edge off of that.
@Kaylz - Molly's are basically Tesco value products, they rebranded them with names, same as their fruit and veg with a farm name rather than having it all branded as value. For me if it tastes the same and the nutrition values are still ok for you, then what's in a name, I have their cheapest yogurt as it is 30p cheaper a pot and tastes exactly same and nutritionally is almost (not quite) identical to their own brand own.
@Grannylorraine basically the same carb wise as the 50p Tesco ones give or take 0.1g or so lol, yeah I have found I prefer the cheaper brands of digestives
Got some Coop peanut butter that's good but going to try Lidl's own stuff as it's 65p cheaper a jar! should be just as good though, if not better

Good morning 5.4 on a can`t make your mind up weather day, strong wind up sea is roaring like a gud un.🙂 Halo wave cleaning day today cooking a whole chicken don`t arf make a mess, not much to report today but glad to be amongst friends.🙂

Ooh I’m very late. I thought I’d been on but I obviously got distracted. So much to do and no time to do it! Not! A very nice 6. Happy with that. A much nicer day so far, I was tempted to light my newly rattled through fire yesterday. But just put a jumper on instead. Off for a different walk after lunch, well it’s the same really but the other way round! Otherwise, nowt exciting happening in Eggyland. Have a safe day. 🙂
Afternoon all. 8.0 again for me, being stupid with Easter chocolate. Glorious here so I'm in the garden. Went shopping yesterday and bought a mask for 2 quid. Think I was fleeced but I was so surprised to be offered. 🙂 Here, have a laugh, my photos are working again...
