I miss nuts! Ooh err missus!:D Not allowed them now, nuts and seeds are a big no no for bowel obstruction patients! Just paid nearly a fiver for chestnuts to cook with my Brussels, which are also frowned upon, then I remembered. Merry Christmas to me! Liquidised pigs in blankets anyone?:(

A 7.9 this morning. Fruit and veg box delivered yesterday and everything else is in the fridge or freezer. Hate last min shopping. Just want to give my other half a nice break as he has been busy delivering groceries for a large supermarket and is exhausted. I'm with Barbara in the bah humbug club x
 
A 6.4 for me at 07:05 this morning. Managed to get a GP appointment this morning so waiting for him to phone. Then Sainsbury's delivery between 11 and 12. Then GPs at 12:20 for a repeat of my HbA1c (feel like an NHS dartboard currently) after my last one disappeared. Then bob to the local farm shop on the way home to pick up some meat.

Then relax!
 
Morning All a 5.8 today. We sorted food shop yesterday. Just a pre-order to collect on Christmas Eve. Really enjoying doing my own thing and no work. Might start Billions latest series later. Have a good safe day all.

Nice to see a better result there this morning. Is that with the increase in Toujeo? If so, hope it hasn't caused you hypo problems at other times of day.
Was just thinking about whether I have enough meat in the house to get me past Boxing Day and then I remembered I have at least a couple of tins of Corned Beef in the back of the cupboard.... Might be a Corned beef hot pot for me for Christmas day/Boxing Day... Yum! Could layer it with swede instead of potato.
 
Back from Sainsbury's, manic at 7 am...
Hard trying to avoid the store pickers let alone other shoppers!
Lots of empty spaces in the veg isle already, managed to get everything though and was at the checkout by 8!
That's it now!

Blessings Snowwy

@Kaylz. Sorry to read that you are battling morning lows still. Have you had problems at this time of year before or is this a new anomaly? How are your hands? Hope they are starting to heal and not so sore.

Not really, I woke hypo Christmas day last year but that was it, I'm on a different contraceptive injection this year though and they seem to react differently, the last one when it was due to be done I'd run higher but this one seems to have me higher when I do it and lowers as the hormone disperses but I'm not due to do it again until sometime in February! (I think lol) just be a case of watch and do whatever necessary 🙄 hands aren't too bad, it's my wrists that are very dry andtender although picture isn't great, only have tonight left of my O'Keefe's so hoping Hermes deliver it tomorrow and running low on my Vaseline Anti Bac cream that I've been applying throughout the day 😳 xx20201222_095759.jpg
 
Yesterday with mayoral permission and granted like it was a Nobel prize I was able to leave the village and go to Aldi in Ubeda. It was only my third trip outside since March. The other two were to the vet in Baeza as there is no vetinary practice in my village. Disappointing as there were shortages in plenty but enough stuff for Christmas and the New Year. Thankful for small mercies springs to mind. There are no bubble rules here which is just as well because it is an intense family time, 20, 30 or even more people gather to celebrate. Does not affect me because in the last 30 Christmases I have only spent two with other people. Quick trip today to the pharmacy and that will be it - apart from daily walks with MIssy.
 
@Kaylz Looks sore and angry. Hope your delivery arrives. I have a bottle of O'Keefes here that doesn't do it for my hands at all so if you had lived closer I would have dropped it round for you. I use coconut body butter on my hands and body and that works best for me. Tried all sorts over the years including Udder cream for cows but for some reason this stuff hydrates my skin best.... Not complaining as it is only £1.50 a pot!
 
@eggyg, you've got a good one there looking after you (i have one here too 🙂)
@Bloden, congratulations on the HS
@Kaylz, your poor wrists! They look so sore. I hope your cream turns up soon.

Well, i got to Sainsburys at 7.45 this morning. Car park was busy but managed to find a space easily enough. The busiest part of the shop wad the fruit and veg. I stood back, waiting for people to move away so i could get mine, but others just brushed past and pushed in to get what they wanted. In the end i waited for a space and dived in. I only needed a few bits so glad its all over and done with now. Presents all wrapped and mainly delivered, seeing older daughter tonight for social distance present exchange on our drive. Oh i really want to give her a hug! I miss my younger daughter too, she's working in Europe atm. Whatsapp video calls are not the same as having them around and near but that God for them, at least we can see their faces.
 
8.0 this morning.

I've had a couple of weeks of iffy eating and fell out of ketosis the last two days I have been very strict to make myself get back into ketosis and have had almost no carbs during that time. I've started testing with ketosis strips and I got back onto ketosis within eight hours which was good so not sure why my bloods were so high this morning. I think it may be because of not drinking enough and/or the morning liver glycolysis reaction. I slept late too so maybe that has an effect. I've been having quite a few very late nights with broken sleep which should settle down now I'm back on track with my diet. Fingers crossed.

I increase toujeo and then had massive hypo the next afternoon. So back to 17 units. Smiling at the corned beef . The first year with 2nd husband we had an omelette and a bottle of red wine. Probably the best Christmas dinner ever! I' in awe of anyone making low carb stuffing and puddings or heading to the supermarket at 7am.

I always have a tin of corned beef in the house but I keep it in the fridge. So much easier to slice. Top tip!

honestly can't believe I reacted to a "sensitive" soap so badly, my order is at the local depot so all going well should be on Bruce's porch when he gets home from work tomorrow, kind of hoping the last Christmas present for my mum arrives then too, if not she'll just have to get it late, it's not like she's not getting plenty anyway lol xx

Congrats on the HS!
Lucky you! We were inundated with second homers arriving from London on Saturday just after The Announcement, probably bringing their new variant Covid with them.

Just what we were expecting too - a holiday-homer invasion. I suspect the Carmarthenshire police are out in force, stopping them before they even reach Pembrokeshire.
 
Well that's my cream sitting at Bruce's front door lol
xx
 
freesia said:
Yay! Get it rubbed in asap when Bruce brings it x

Won't be bringing it until the end of the week unfortunately as he's other things to bring every night that are needed such as a 5L bag of cat litter, Christmas presents etc 🙄 xx
