G'day all. 6.8 @ 7.6am not bad after half a Galaxy and some buttery mash last night. 🙂

Sounds like you are making a real breakthrough Ditto. Isn't that 3 6s in a row?? Oh dear.... isn't that the number of the beast!!

I don't know about anyone else but I would personally sell my soul and that of all my children to the devil for a bar of Galaxy chocolate and a plate of buttery mash.

Gosh I'm pleased you aren't my Dad! ......

.... I would really struggle to respect a man who chose Galaxy over Cadbury's!! 😉 🙂

That's blasphemy right there!🙂

I told my kids this and they said it was OK. They said they would trade my soul to the devil for Galaxy too. They are upstairs packing their bags as we speak 🙂 It's important to have boundaries. Are you in the market for 2 lodgers? One previous owner?

By the way, Galaxy is better than Cadbury's because they use vanilla pods. Mind you, Cadbury's gave us a ton of chocolate when we did the factory tour when our children were kids so it's not all one-sided. I used to love a Wispa bar and a Twirl bar combo for lunch. Right! I'm off to Asda...

Only blasphemy if you worship the devil! 😉

Have to say Cadbury's changed the formula a few years ago and it was starting to lose it's shine for me.... and don't get me started on what they did to Milk Tray. That was an act of heresy! Thankfully I am now a fully purged atheist when it comes to chocolate..... apart from the odd half square of anything dark and over 70% combined with a good spoonful of peanut butter.

Those were my lunch choice for a good few years too!
 
Morning all,
A 6.1 again today.

Blessings Snowwy
 
Lovely, a 5.8 this morning, my last 5 was an HS months and months ago, very pleased with that. Should get results of my HbA1c in the next couple of days, think it will have gone up as am in the 6s and 7s every morning. Had my lesion photographed yesterday so hoping to hear about that in the next few weeks.
So busy at work still, think the public are fed up with the NHS now, waiting times are so long and they are not getting the message that’s there’s little we can do to get them seen sooner.
Trying to think of something positive to write but can’t actually think of anything so will just get ready for work.
Hope you all have a good day xx
 
What a dreadful night. Went to bed at 9.30, didn't feel well. Level rising but in target. Woke at 11.30 to see 14.8!!!! Had 2u correction, waited hour and a half to see if it came down. It didnt but had to go to bed as felt awful. Woke again at 3.45 still feeling not right, still 12.8 so had another 2 units and went back to bed. Just woke, its back in the 5s and i now have a thumping headache. No idea what that was all about...a visit from the DF maybe. Off for a shower now, fingers crossed it doesn't go the other way now
 
06:07 BS 9.1! Eek!😱 No THAT’s not the cake as I not going to be having that, yet, since my Birthday isn’t until Saturday! I just fancied some real honest to goodness homemade shepherds pie with mashed potato & made one yesterday! I just wanted mashed potato after eating low carb broccoli & cauliflower rice for weeks now! I upped the bolus to what I remembered I used to bolus for such & it obviously wasn’t enough: 32 units NR compared to 24, & compounded it by falling asleep more or less straight after without testing shortly after midnight when BS was 6.2!o_O Ah well, bunged in usual correction of 8 units, 2/mmol I want to go down at this time after waking, & I’ll eat breakfast later as the potato is still sitting in my stomach I feel: may only eat lunch later; we’ll see? 🙄 There’s still 2 more portions left as I cut it into 3, instead of 4, as I eat it on its own because I bung so many veggies in with the meat layer: I’ll be prepared now with the extra bolus I need; be prepared to test too in case I overdo the bolus?🙄 I’ll maybe try the sheperds pie again with broccoli rice on top: definitely prefer broccoli to cauliflower as being a super taster I only have cauliflower rice with a curry as it’s a much stronger nutty taste than broccoli?🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Edited to correct usual cheeky wink to the END of the post instead of the start: how did happen; didn’t notice until now? 🙄:Do_O😉

Morning

Well that’s my grandad left with nothing at the weekends, The Salvation Army had a vote and deemed Angus to be too high risk to continue with the Sunday service, personally think they shouldn’t have grouped the county in one and just done it by town but hey ho, they are useless here anyway, not at all how they make out on the adverts that’s for sure!

Ordered myself a new duvet last night, 13.5 tog with a pure cotton cover, can’t wait till it arrives and its all thanks to a very dear friend, very lovely of them and they’ll never know how much I actually appreciate it, the thought and the care is so kind

Anyways its a 7.5 today
xx
 
Morning. 6.2 today. Got a busy day ahead. Mr Eggy has finished decorating the bedroom, new wallpaper on the chimney breast wall, and a coordinating colour on the opposite wall and the other two walls are neutral. We’ve gone for blue and white (ish). We love it. We’ve also removed the carpet and he’s re stained the floor boards and re varnished them as they were tatty. Re varnished all the skirts, doors and frames. He’s done a smashing job. Today we will sort out our wardrobes and drawers and manhandle them back through! Need new bedding, curtains and rugs but I need to see them in the flesh so I get the colours right. So that won’t happen just yet. I can do some research online though. I get all the fun! Have a good day everyone. 🙂
 
Finally seems to have settled at 4.9. Have a good day folks
 
Morning all, 5.4 here. Back on finger stabbing until next Monday. Why Monday? Yesterday, a whole year after I first asked my surgery nurse to refer me, I was finally approved for the Libre, and I get to attend a webinar training session next week. Abbot are sending a free starter sensor, and then I get it on prescription for the usual trial 6 months.
