Morning folks. 6.9 today. Off to work, our new secretary who was offered the job 2 weeks ago has now declined the job, don’t blame her, so back to square one again!! Anybody fancy a job, hard work, extensive medical terminology needed, knowledge of 100’s of referral pathways, good at sorting out problems doctors can’t and rubbish pay???
Have a good day all x

Good luck with that @SueEK . Rather not thankyou
 
Morning all, 5.9 here. Sensor seems to have got over its little hiccup of showing me in the red all night after I threatened it with telling Abbott, the past few nights have been completely normal.
 
Morning everyone. 6.7 for me this morning. Another day of working from home, sitting at a laptop but the good news... when the laptop settles down a bit i'm off out for a walk around the block!!! I am out!! Fresh air!!! Looking forward to that.
@SueEK, you are really selling that job lol. You all deserve a medal for what you put up with, grumpy doctors, grumpy patients, chasing people who don't get back to you etc. Keep up the good work, you are appreciated by us.
@Gruers happy anniversary! How many years is it?
It looks a bit dark, damp and cool out there (but who cares...i'm going out). Have a good day whatever you are planing
 
Morning

8.7 for me today, there was enough to increase to 29U last night but obviously will need to change the cartridge today as only 5U left in it

@Gruers Happy Anniversary!

@ColinUK yes did it stay ok so you could get out for that walk?

@Northerner jealous! What I put on Facebook is all we've had but there are weather warnings out until Saturday so we'll see, I highly doubt we'll see any snow though, shame!
xx
 
Morning all. 🙂 5.6 here...at last!

Wet n windy here, no white stuff, if we ever get a flurry it melts immediately boo hoo.:D

Three cheers for everyone working at our health centres, I say, especially you @SueEK.🙂
 
Delighted to report my third HS of the year (Sorry @Michael12421.... not meaning to rub your nose in it)

Cut my evening Levemir by another half a unit last night as I had done quite a bit of exercise barrowing 5 loads of manure a 3rd of a mile from stables to home last night to give my rhubarb patch (read forest in the summer) a warm blanket to hopefully encourage it to come early.
Had 2 naughty G&Ts last night with some lemon herb olives (I ate a big meal at lunchtime... fillet steak and salad followed by low carb trifle so no dinner as such) and then a chunk of blue stilton at bedtime to help stabilize my overnight readings. Seems it worked a treat!

@Ditto Hope you are feeling better now. Such a shame that you felt unwell and in pain when you got a significantly better morning reading. Really want to give you a big (((HUG))) because I know that you are struggling and your situation with family and caring for your Mam makes it very difficult to be focused and structured with your own diet. Keep working at it. You have been making a good bit of progress recently.

@ColinUK So excited to hear about your walk/date. Was it yesterday? I got the impression it was going to be at some point in the near future.... Don't put yourself down. You are a lovely, big hearted guy and if this date doesn't see that then he is blind or shallow and not for you anyway so it will be his loss. Really hope it works out though. A bit of romance can really lift your spirits and boost your confidence. Keeping fingers crossed.
 
Morning on this snowy/sleety day. 6.2. They promised heavy snow but it’s just wet stuff, ah never mind. It’s obviously causing havoc on the M6 as various sirens have just sped past our house, we live a mile from a junction. Hopefully nothing too serious. Day at home today methinks. Have a good one y’all. 🙂
 
Morning all!

6.1 again this morning for me. Not quite sure what it’ll take to get me back down into the fives regularly but I’m comfortable with 6.1 morning readings.
Yesterday readings were 5.7 in the afternoon and down to 5.1 before bed so pretty stable.

And talking of pretty, my God he’s even cuter in person than his photos suggest. It was a good walk through the parks and we stopped and picked up a takeaway coffee. Not sure if it’s really got potential to go anywhere as we are so fundamentally different in our outlooks on so many things.
There’s obviously a mutual attraction however and we didn’t stick to distancing guidelines the entire time.
Of course me being me in the course of the walk home afterwards I’d introduced him to family, arranged our marriage, picked out names for our adopted children, realised that it wasn’t ever going to work and filed for divorce etc. lol

Meanwhile, happy anniversary @Gruers
