    strip the chicken
    Sort and delete 10 emails

  • Morning, just me and you so far Penny?

    I slept really well so I'm up early to iron DH a shirt. One done already so I'll do another one ready for tomorrow.

    DD1 has got cheerleading at school at 8.20am then she's off on a school trip and DD2 is at nursery. Fingers crossed she's ok...she's been loving it but there were a few tears yesterday morning, so hopefully she'll go in OK.

    Another shirt to iron then coffee I think.

    See you later.

    Morning All

    Didn't get on last night as I didn't finish work until 5.10, came in took the kids to Beavers, came back got the kids in bed, had tea and went bed myself at 8.30.

    Diva - not sure what you've eaten but with type 2 diabetes but it is basically just following a healthy diet - you don't have to strictly cut out sugar as with type 1 - just cut down. DH has type 2 and is on Metformin as well - I noticed you posted about that the other day. Pm me if you want to.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
