Hello squidge, QM is my local!! small world yet again!
Click to expand...

I am still seen at QM occasionally, I have to contact them thinking about it as they were supposed to send me an appt... yes it sure is a small world.

Are you under the Beta Cell for your diabetes, don't know if they still call it that now that the new hospital has been built.. I still can't believe the houses they have built on the old hospital site. I was under Dr Shotliffe at beta cell until I moved.

I know I think they're still trying to shift some of those houses/flats!
Yeah it's still called that and suite 4! I see a lovely nurse Wendy and Dr Mike Oldfield (no joke) I need to give wendy a call I fancy a chat with her soon, and maybe a spare pen and monitor and anything else I can get!

Still on the QM site but down one end of it, the old hospital was knocked down and is now a very nice expensive housing estate.
 
My name's Becky, I'm 24, diagnosed 1st May 09. I'm originally from a middle-of-nowhere village called Poynton, which is in Cheshire. Lived there till I was 18, and ran to the other end of the country (Carlisle) to do my BA in Performing Arts.

I currently live in York, and have done since 2007, when I've not been touring or whatnot. I've been a professional actor, but I currently manage the Box Office and am the Membership manager for a theatre company, which is a fab place to work, since there are only 10 or so regular members of staff, so we all live in each others pockets. :D
 
Hi sacredheart. I'm not far from you (Bridlington) and try to visit york as often as my business allows me (I like to go to Lakelands and spend lots) Love to wonder up or down the shambles. lovely place to live.

I expect everything's changed out of all recognition since I lived there! Still have nice memories of the stream and deer in Richmond Park (can you still drive though it?) and Putney Heath.
 
Hi Sacred heart, i am originally from Macclesfield so know Poynton. Can't understand why you left with so much going on there!

Lol

Hi All

I'm Ron, aged 54 until 2nd July! Born in a village which was then in the North Riding of Yorkshire - not sure what the area is currently called (It's been Teesside, Cleveland and who knows what else?). After working/living in the Gulf and Africa for a good number of years, then Birmingham and Cumbria finally brought my wife home to Scotland. One overactive teenage son at home (Bagpiper in a band, TaeKwondo, Scouts, Rugby etc so wife and I are virtual full time evening taxi drivers), two others still live in North Yorkshire.
Diagnosed June 2007, managing OK by Novorapid and Levimir. Apolgies this seems a bit long winded!
 
I am Lorraine, aged 45 diagnosed type1 24th Nov 2006 at 4.30pm. How sad that I remember it so clearly.

I am getting married to Darren, a gorgeous policeman, in August. I have a son who is 15yrs old and we have a german shepherd, she is one.

I don't really have any hobbies but love to take the dog on long walks and watch my other half fly his rc helicopter. I qualified as a nail technician in January and just love doing nails, although business is very quiet at the moment. I work part time as a cover supervisor in a secondary school. Who said don't work with animals or children? They were right.
