Have you been tested for Helicobacter Pylorii? I had ulcer after ulcer for over 30 years. Turned out it was that bacteria which is well known for causing ulcers. I had antibiotics for it and haven't had a repeat.

6.7 this morning.
Wondered why I’d not been paid yet for some work I did last month so checked my sent emails and there’s the invoice email sitting nicely in drafts where it’s been for the last ten days… sent it this morning so that’s that sorted.
Nothing heard from the GP surgery regarding completing their response to my SAR which was lodged on 19th January. Legally they have 30 days to comply with the request. They’ve done half but the other half is now approaching two months.
I’ve chased but no reply. I’m loathed to complain to the ICO as it is still my GP and I really don’t want to screw up the decent relationship I seem to have with them but I might have no choice.

Yesterday saw the folks as my bother and I went over there to start going through the Last Orders books (that’s the books to help executors find any relevant information to make life easier).

Dad was fine with it but mum was strangely resistant. However we sat down and literally read from the start and when it asked a question (usually where a specific document was located) the answer was written in their respective books.

Fun side was my brother and I running off all over the house to find the documents as some were not where they thought they were which does sort of prove the point of the books in the first place!

At one point mum said something was in the safe. I didn’t know they had a safe and neither did my brother! And the document wasn’t in there anyway!
 
Morning

7 this morning, but it wasn’t straight after waking, I had been downstairs ringing in sick, then setting my out of office, stupidly reading some emails, then went back to bed for about 15 mins but couldn’t sleep, still didn’t eat the best yesterday, and also have an awful sore throat, feels like it is swollen as well, achy glands so think another virus has got me.

@eggyg - hope mr eggyg gets his eye sorted, who knew a pillow could be so dangerous
 
Morning all on this positively horrible day. Teeming down and blowing a gale. Every time we think about gardening it does this. The lawns are lakes.

5.2 this morning much to my surprise! Had a huge spike up to 16.4 after the spare ribs last night and did several corrections before bed. Pleased to see it came down and stayed steady! Shan't be doing that recipe again!

Hope Mr Eggy's eye is going to be alright @eggyg Good luck getting to see the optician.

@Grannylorraine you do seem to be getting such a lot of colds. Have you tried Echinacea tablets? We take them at first signs of a cold/flu and usually find they ward the full blown thing off. Many HUGS, I do feel for you.

Have a good Monday all....

Well done @Pattidevans on the HS. A 5.1 for me this am. 🙂

7.3 this morning, time to get things back into check I think!

First Monday retired, planning on an easy day today without anything specific to do, but amazingly this week on separate days I have doctors & dentist, my wife has the dentists and meeting up with a friend so we are already filling the days without even trying! I think it will take some time before we find ourselves and relax into new routines and plans.

@eggyg I hope Mr Eggy’s eye is ok. When I had a scratched cornea one time (which was extremely uncomfortable) I discovered a dedicated Eye A&E at the Birmingham Eye Hospital. Got sorted quickly there, but I presume that any A@E would have quick access to an ophthalmologist to provide the same help. Good luck!

@Pattidevans - congratulations on your HS today!

Take care everyone!
 
I forgot to test when I got up. Well, I didn't, I didn't know where my device was. So I just had some breakfast and did a somewhat late test around 40 minutes after finishing. It was 6.1.
 
5.5 on a bright, dry and sunny Berkshire morning. Sun's out, blue sky but cold - our garden thermometer says it's 1.8 degrees. If it stays like this I can feel another day's garden maintenance coming on, although I have to say that everything is still very wet. Nice to see so many of our shrubs have buds coming through.

Turned on my phone this morning to find a video of our eldest doing a bungy jump off the Kawaura River Bridge yesterday, 140ft above the river. He talked about maybe doing it before they left for NZ and that site is home to the world's first commercial bungy jump business, so definitely the right place to do one. My wife did one from the same place when we were there in 1993. They leave Queenstown in the morning heading for Lake Tekapo, a one-night stopover before pushing on to Christchurch and home.

Congrats @Pattidevans on your HS. I've only managed 3 so far this year so I must be due one soon.

@eggyg - hope Mr Eggy gets his eye sorted.

Hope the Monday Blues have gone and everyone has a good start to the week.

In case you’ve not heard of it I’d thought I’d post this.
It’s worth doing just to check that you’re getting everything you’re entitled to claim.

Thanks @ColinUK Considering the problems with my feet and mobility it's clear I should get PIP. But when you've got a judge at tribunal using the fact you can't attend the tribunal against you. You've got no hope.
