Only 2 now @freesia !!! I’m crawling my way through - feels like crawling through golden syrup. I gave up or maybe in today, we watched a proper movie film! Haven’t done that in a while but they’re shattered too. I think a couple may have had a little snooze!

Wow thank you so much everyone, yes I have moved up a category for the vaccine, but also into another age group for 5k Parkruns!

Amazingly too, after many many months of waiting, we finally got our holiday refund back! 😎

Nice try but not accepting it as a house special I'm afraid. Good luck with the final 2 days. Hope they go smoothly. It will be Friday afternoon before you know it!
 
5.4 this morning.

I was expecting Philli to go last night. Three excellent finalists.
 
Morning all,
First new day of my 70th year with a 5.8!
Not sure how I managed that with the delish cake I ate yesterday!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning all. Up early with a 5.8. Been awake since 5.30 must be the excitement of tonight’s Masterchef final. @HenryBennett the right one went home last night. Philli took on more than she could chew, good effort though. I can’t call the winner, I don’t mind really, as long as it’s Santosh! 😉 Asking for a friend, how can MC make you cry? I’m , err, I mean my friend, is going to be a mess tonight.
In other non related MC news, my 83 year old ma- in-law is having her first Covid jab today. It’s getting closer. 🙂 Have a good day.

Happy Birthday @Snowwy :D A very handsome looking snowman you are too!😎😛😉

09:39 BS 5.7 :D Feels great to be back in the 5’s: remembered to bolus for dinner!🙄😉

Ooohhhh! 😛 I knew I would be getting a BIG refund on my electrics bill & I duly got the letter & got a refund of £999 pounds with it going directly into the bank account this time so, no need, especially in these CV times, to deposit a cheque & GO to the bank physically!:D Because of 1 massive electrics bill 2 years ago I’ve been:- 1. MUCH more circumspect in my electrics use & 2. overpaying an elevated monthly payment for 2 years that resulted in refunds of about £1000 at the end of the year! But,I’m now told that my monthly payments are going back to what they were 2 years ago!:D

I feel like a kid in a toystore in that I treated myself to yet another new Apple product in 2 months: the iPad mini 5 will be delivered to my door 21-23/12/20; just in time for Christmas & I’m excited! :D😛😎😉 AND a jumping up & down, happy bunny!:D

It’s brewing up a storm again outside with the wind & rain lashing at the windows but, I’m lovely, warm & Sunny on the Inside! 😎 Ooohhhh! I haven’t felt that Sunny on the Inside feeling in some time & I’ve forgotten how LOVELY it feels!😛:D😉

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 May you all stay warm & Sunny on the Inside!:D😎😛😉

That’s all fab news @Lanny - I’ve just cut my mobile costs by getting a new iPhone 12 mini - and it’s great!
What are you doing with your old iPad mini (assuming you had one)?

@Bexlee, we can do it!
Ha..i know exactly how you feel! Our 5-7yr olds are excited, tired, fussy and i'm shattered trying to be so upbeat every day. I've done all the christmas cards, inserts and calendars with them. Today, i need to wrap their presents in between doing work with them and this afternoon is party afternoon. I'm looking forward to 4pm when i'll get home and crash on the sofa. Its a lovely time of year to work with the kids but exhausting
Anyway, 5.0 for me this morning.
Have a good day everyone
 
I’m out of test strips. Hoping they’re delivered today or tomorrow.

So this means I can eat whatever I want and it won’t impact my BG levels right?! lol

UPDATE:
Found a spare pot of test strips! 5.8 🙂

A dodgy 10 today, fitted a new sensor for my pump and 9 hours later it crapped out with change sensor, too late to start a new one so set the pump to manual and went to sleep, apparently the pump was bleeping all night according to my wife but I never heard it lol.
Quarterly diabetic visit for bloods today and a CT scan for my broken leg regeneration so I’m quite excited to see if I can get the metal out of my leg soon fingers crossed.
Everyone have a great day!!

What can I say? Another 5.2 :D

Stay safe and well.

4.6 for me this morning and dropped to 4.2 after I got up (where's my FOTF... normally it would head skyward) and felt hypo with it, so had a prune.
My routine has changed as the horses have come in for the winter now, so no hauling haylage and feeds up the hill 3-4 times a day, but more sweeping and mucking out and boy do I have mud monsters to clean up! Gave myself 1 unit of basal last night as numbers started to climb before bed and really happy with result this morning. Not had any bolus insulin yet as wanted to get morning stables done before breakfast. So, just when I had things figured out a bit with my diabetes, my regime is now totally changing to accommodate the horses new routine... May take a bit of ironing out to get my levels settled again and know what I am doing.
