    So something has gone through even if it's not showing yet. Iyswim.

    Afternoon peeps.

    this is significant progress as mine are still showing with the little one in the top right corner.
    I think if nothing happens today I am going to re upload in the morning

    Good morning Elite - I drove home from Hampshire yesterday, via Solstice Park near Stonehenge to pick up an emergency Rommie resscue foster doggie who will be staying with me while she is assessed and moved on to her new forever home. Emily is a little darling BUT at only 2 is still very puppy'ish so a lot more active and time consuming that my two oldies :eek: Plus I have to walk her, which I did manage OK actually yesterday. Must be the Naproxen I have started to take that's eased the pain in my right knee :j

    During the night she slept in lounge OK but she did decide to gather up Millie's old toys which I had still lying around and she included my many stuffed toys from back edge of sofa :rotfl: So they are now in a bag in the bedroom out of her way. She hadn't chewed any of them, just gathered them up, bless her. I'll post a pic later. My two are still in boarding at moment

    Snap and mhoc, I was so sad to hear about your sisters - my thought are with you both at this distressing time

    And sad to hear your news too bubbs, but make the adjustments and follow all the advice from diabetes nurse and you will be OK. One of my friends Andy was diagnosed about a year ago and is fine. He just has to keep a check on his sugar levels and adjust eating accordingly. My friend I stayed with, Kit, is Type 1 diabetic, born with it and that is a different matter, but with type 2, you are sensible enough to deal with it. You don't have to give up everything sweet but just be sensible

    Did I just put sensible and bubbs in the same sentence :p

    Anyway, I have a shift at charity shop this afternoon. I'm taking Emily in with me as she needs to get used to new people (she has some fear aggression linked with people she doesn't know) so I'd best get a move on. Oh and I have a c&c order to pick up after shop, paid with my evouchers so only £1 cash to pay, all just normal shopping
    Awww another doggy:T:T
    Thanks i know i will as i am sensible :p:D:D:D:D

    I think it sort of creeps up on you so most people are unaware and its a bit of a shock when you get the diagnosis. The main thing is that you really have to start taking care of yourself - diet and exercise etc

    And me :D




    Mr AJ is Type 2, was diagnosed afew years ago. In the beginning he stuck to what he was told and did very well. Lost weight by walking loads, cut out all sugary stuff. He has done very well, sugar levels very good now but he has a sweet tooth and loves cake.

    Get levels down bubbs but don't go buying Diabetic Foods, waste of money. You can still bake and eat cake but in moderation, good luck :):)
    Thanks, no i wont by special anything, funnily enough like baking but dont eat much cake, its chocolate my downfall:o

    hey bubbs I was diagnosed diabetic type 2 a couple of years ago last year I was put on metformin and I lost a lot of weight(thru sickness) and my blood tests showed last week I am no longer diabetic although they are going to wean me off metformin slowly just in case it is only the metformin that is forcing it down - I was gutted when I was diagnosed but just little adjustments to my diet now and I feel so much better and don't feel the need to drink gallons anymore good luck on your journey hun and don't waste time worrying cos it won't change any outcome xxx

    :T:T:TThats good news well done, i dont feel as if i have drank more as i have always drank alot, also pee alot:rotfl::rotfl:
    Did the metformin make you sick? hope you are better now xx that what im on 2 times a day

    afternoon all, more rain - please can everyone visualise 2 dry days for Sunday and Monday please for our bit of the wilds of Cheshire

    Eldest childs best mate is flying in from the states overnight :j so it would be nice if it would just stop raining for a change, just for 2 days

    There has been some intense house scrubbing over the last few days but at least we could get to the bits that needed scrubbing now that the decluttering is in full flow - you couldn't see the dining room table this morning so an extra trip to recycling was needed -aldi sized bag of books for the book bank, 2 baskets of the normal plastics/cans/bottles and 2 baskets of waste paper, huge box of plastic hangers (recently found out our Sainsbobs takes these) and a bag and box for the charity shop and an ebay parcel :D
    Yes I know all this activity is just a distraction technique so I dont dwell on the insoluble problems ...

    Oh is not co operating - I had to point out to. him this morning 4 pairs of trousers and 5 shirts which were located in his floordrobe. so basically after work he has changed out of work suit into clean jeans and shirt and left yesterdays on the floor every single day :mad: He brought everything them downstairs to the family bathroom and dumped everything in the bath :mad: so he was advised that washing goes into the laundry bin - its a lot of effort to lift the lid of the laundry bin.
    A stand off will now ensue as I am not dealing with his washing until after the wedding, too much else to do this week.
    So now he will have to get shirts out of his wardrobe which he never usually goes into - always just wears whatever has just been laundered as its the least effort It could well be narnia in there with a lion and a which :rotfl:
    He WILL learn the floor is not a wardrobe :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi everyone

    Hope you are well, haven't been able to catch up as life has been manic these week, planning to catch up today.

    Bubbs gather you have just been diagnosed with diabetes don't let it get you down.
    I was diagnosed 3 years ago but no longer on meds,controlled with diet and exercise and no problems.
    It can be controlled and you can still enjoy sweets cakes etc in moderation.
    I have cut down on lots of carbs, bread, rice, pasta etc, only very small portions these days. Burgens soya and linseed bread is the lowest carb bread around.
    If I want a cake then I will compromise and have half, normally have a biccie after my tea most days but I really have to be careful with fruit, most fruit sends my blood sugar really high, so I try to get 5 a day but more veg than fruit.
    I'm lucky that I don't have a really sweet tooth but I'm a big bread, potato and pasta fan which Is why I have small portions, if I were to deny myself then I would just binge eventually.

    anyhow I'm rambling, sorry Bubbs but I just wanted to say I know it can be a shock but you can control it!

    Just been on a detour to spend my £33 APG from my first razor shop, didn't want to raise my profile in the local store! Guy tried to keep my receipt, could see him desperately trying to work out how I got the voucher - i made sure I took it with me so hopefully the glitch continues!

    We are many we are one xxx

    So that every single post that I contribute to this thread is on topic I would just like to say I am an elite 11+ member and I hear the unjust silence of my opinions whilst I am shopping in supermarkets mainly. Just sayin.
