“Shang a lang, shang a lang shang a lang shang a lang”. “ Bye bye baby, baby bye bye.” I had the tartan scarf and sewed strips of tartan material up the side of my loons! :rofl: But I was fickle and also embroidered SLADE on a pocket of another pair of very fetching dusky pink loons. If I’m totally honest though, my heart belonged to David Essex ( and still does to be fair).😉

Ever since you mentioned Merril i've been singing the intro to Let Me In! Ah....SLADE...they were the complete opposite of the Osmonds and i loved them too. But David Essex...oh those eyes and the cheeky smile and curly hair. He was very definitely a teen idol/heartthrob 🙂
 
Morning

10.something today

We finally signed and got the keys for the new house yesterday, we left my mums at 1:20 and weren't back until 5:40, I was starving and totally dehydrated as I hadn't had anything to eat or drink since 7:20am, we spoke to the housing officer for ages then Bruce's dad drove past so Bruce phoned him asking if he wanted to come for a look. by the time he left it was almost 4 and the carpet guy was supposed to be coming about 5 to measure up so I didn't see it fair on Bruce for him to come down the road with me then go all the way back up and then come down again so we just went for a wander and ended up outside his mum and dads, then the carpet guy phoned early so we had to rush back down to ours (feels odd saying that lol), last night after getting back to mums I spent the night with my calves constantly cramping and couldn't even get my feet to lay flat on the floor. almost had me in tears xx
 
Good morning everyone 5.3 for me this morning, hope the house move goes smoothly @Kaylz, hope you feel better soon @Michael12421
 
@Kaylz I'm glad things are starting to happen with your new place. 🙂
A Heinz Special of 5.7 for me this morning. Yesterday was positively chilly compared tp a few days ago. 😱

Morning all - hopefully it'll brighten up a bit today. Yesterday the sun came out just as I walked out of a shop bearing a brand new brolly!

8.0 this morning. Could have been worse as I went to bed on 15.6 as a result of having a chicken sandwich instead of eating a proper meal.

Off shopping today to replace hubby's jeans that were stolen when the car got broken into in June + a few other necessities e.g. my Pjs that went the same way as hubby's jeans. Insurance still hasn't paid out, all we get is excuses about computer systems being down, but needs must.

@gll do see your GP, your after-effects sound just like my friend's. He had to have antibiotics for his chest before it cleared up.

@Kaylz what fab news that you have the keys! Wishing you every happiness in your new home!
 
5.1 on waking 🙂

Working from my sons house today so will be sharing my day with 2 lovely whippets ! I have a team meeting at 10am so they may be joining me on that - Edit - Just had the meeting, the whippets didnt take part but my manager sent me this over teams - "you can see you have lost weight you look half the size"
This comment made my day (sad soul that I am)

Have a great day everyone 🙂

Good luck for the move and hope things go smoothly and you will be happy there! xxxx
 
Bad boy 13. 4 this morning when I was going to Diabetes Centre. The only BG they asked about was this morning when I had brought spread sheets for July and August. However appointment was with podiatrist as I have had issues with two toes (damaged nails and invection after being pushed into back of lift) but given all clear and discharged back to community podiatry. Still a big boy at 101kg but tall enough to just be overweight! Makes me a big bad boy!

Hiya @JACK123456789

It's my first pump. It's NHS funded. And I'm extremely happy with it. There's been a lot of work involved - like with any pump start - tweaking, adjusting, tweaking, but I can already see improvements in my management and predicted HbA1c.

Out of interest, why would you have to self-fund? Have you asked for a pump / been told you can't have one?
 
Good morning everyone. I thought I had posted this morning, but can't find a trace of it.

BG 4.6
BP 118/78
Pulse 59 ! Lower again

however the day has turned out to be fascinating...

In two walks I managed 309 minutes of walking exercise. The main walk, this afternoon, was from my home to the far end of Lytham and back, with a minor stop off at Lytham hospital.

Yes, today was the great hearing aid fitting day. Incredible devices, tuned to my specific hearing loss.

The appointment was on time and well executed. What I didn't understand was at the end of the appointment I was given a good load of litterature, some cards of batteries, the hearing aids themselves and some ancilliary stuff, all placed into my arms, a bit like on crackerjack. They had no box, bag or container for it all. And the hearing aids were not cheapo ones too (The nurse was keen to tell me that and I must admit that I was stunned at the quoted price).

Sadly my wife did not accompany me, but then, had she done so I wouldn't have got the exercise in.

The hearing aids are brilliant, but right now they are just sitting in a box as, oddly, as with everything, it takes me a while to 'make friends' with new stuff. No idea why.

I got home utterly exhausted from all the walking but happy. Very sad though at the complete disconnect from my wife.

Next week it is cholesterol test number 2.

Oh and my evening BG (tested as soon as I got home) was 4.4. The surprise test was BP coming in at 119/77 perfectly normal. Pulse was as expected, on the high side for me at 72.

All in all, a good bad happy sad day. Sounds well balanced to me.

Now I wonder if the NHS can replace my aging brain....
