I think it would work really well in the summer as well. Perfect with a glass of Pim's in the garden 🙂

4 years and 2 months I haven't touched a drop, that's huge considering I was a 4 cans of lager and bottle of fruit cider at least per night kind of person before, I just drank because I was bored and I could, wasn't big or clever but healthier by far now and feel so much better for it lol xx

I've not had one of those arrive. Just checked and it seems that you're supposed to have one every two years from the age of 50 up. It used to be 60 but the age group was widened recently it seems.
I'll mention it next time I speak with the GP although being a on a primarily liquid diet won't be fun to collect the sample!

They come from a centralised system through the post and are self use kit. Nothing to do with GP.

Mmmh, I can tell!

How much do they cost if you don't mind me asking?

What's the starting price, mid range and top range? And what programs do you get for each?

Is there one you'd recommend? Why did you go for yours?
 
I’m not the only tee totaler, then! 🙂 I just never really acquired the taste for alcohol & only drank the sweetest liqueurs like Irish cream & Tia Maria in my 20’s because of peer pressure & then, becoming diabetic alcohol had such a strong long lasting effect in continuing to lower my BS that I gave it up completely: ate all of my youngest brother’s snacks in for the Christmas holidays not long after diagnosis after he’d urged me to an Irish Cream & I had the munchies the whole night; he woke on Boxing Day to find I’d eaten everything I could find & NEVER pushed any alcohol on me again! 😱:D I haven’t touched a drop in over 17/18 years & don’t miss it!🙂

Just had a look on line - £1750 or £45 per month. I got the bike, shoes and heart rate monitor. Classes include cycling, yoga, running, walking, meditation, strength, cardio, stretching and various bootcamp activities all available on-line

I'm with @Lanny. Tee total. Never acquired the taste, even under extreme peer pressure at work. Was even ridiculed and scorned for hating champagne! Same with smoking.

Very good. Do you mind providing the link?
 
I'm not formally teetotal it's more a case of just not really being fussed. I'll use wine in cooking from time to time and I'll happily nosh booze soaked cakes!
I may even have a low alcohol beer.

I'd love to do that but just don't have the room to give up to the equipment.

I did a crust-less chicken and asparagus quiche last night which was very tasty.

My tired old eyes read that as "crush-less chicken" and I wondered what the heck that involved. 😱😳
Should've gone to Specsavers. :D

I had my first one last year when I turned 60. No special diet required just do your “ business” and take a sample! It took weeks for me to do it as I am dead squeamish. :confused:Even the illustrations of the instructions made me feel sick! I did laugh when I read “ we do not need extra”. Had results back within a week. All was well. :D
 
I had one of those tests and result came back with "traces of blood". I had one colonoscopy where they removed polyps which were tested as benign. I had a second follow up colonoscopy in March last year just before all this pandemic lark kicked off. Again all samples were benign. It is worth doing those tests, better sure than sorry. Colonoscopies are easy, no pain or discomfort (at least not for me). The worst bit is taking the purgative solution the night before. The verb "sharting" springs quickly to my mind. 😱😳

Oh I know that feeling well. Definitely the prep is the worst bit of a colonoscopy! Hope I never have to go through that ever again. I wrote a poem about it, as you do! 🙄

I've got a dodgy tummy
I've had it quite a lot.
The doc sent me to hospital
To see what I had got.
The main man give me the once over,
And said, "We need a look".
Got an appointment for tomorrow
Some sachets and a book.
I read the book when I got home,
The words made me aghast,
I couldn't quite believe my eyes,
I've got to bleedin' fast!
Now, those of you who know me,
Know I like my grub.
But I need to be 'empty',
So therein lies the rub.
So think of me tomorrow,
I'm scared, I must confess
To see my innards play the leading role
In a film by the NHS!
