    Thanks Earthgirl, my blood sugars keep dropping despite me eating! Might at least see if the doctor will prescribe me a test kit so I don't have to go out and buy one.

    I can't believe it's nearly the end of the month already, almost time to update the sig again!

    Hope the docs can help you. That must be quite scary being pregnant. Is it harder to regulate your blood sugars due to the baby?

    Thanks everyone, I'm not actually diabetic but have reactive hypoglycaemia. When I eat I basically release too much insulin which causes my blood sugar to drop. It can only be managed through eating a low GI diet and little and often. I was fine whilst I had morning sickness and wasn't wating, the problems seem to happen when I eat and worst in the mornings after breakfast. Have a Glucose test in a few weeks so see what happens there but am hoping GP will listen to me!

    Haven't been able to get online properly last few days so lots to catch up on here and in the world of surveys!

    Online shop didn't arrive, I don't think it went through properly due to my poor internet connection! Off to Mr S tomoro!

    Sorry yukkibear didn't answer this properly before.

    I had the hypos before getting pregnant but only about once a month. I am getting them more frequently now, so I wonder if baby is taking my sugar? I hope not, DD was 9lb 10.5oz and I don't really want this one to be any bigger :eek:

    Sun is shining here this morning which is lovely as I am off with DH and it rained all day yesterday whilst we worked!

    Might try and ebay some stuff later, just need to iron it and that is my least favourite thing to do!

    Have just heard that house prices are set to rise 16% over the next 4 years which coulld be good for our LTV! My house is probably worth less than we paid for it 6 years ago but fortunately we put a good deposit down on it so have plenty of equity.

    Had a busy but good day today, got food shop done at last but then went out for a late lunch so not done any cooking! Took DD to the zoo which she loved and I am now meant to be busy ebaying! Have a bundle of clothes ready to list and DH is ironing the second lot. I really do hope they sell after all this effort!

    Mortgage goes out tomorrow, I really want to update SS and signiature and see some more progress!

    Items listed, didn't take as long as I thought thankfully. They just need to sell now!

    DD took a while to settle now so we're only really just settling down for the evening.

    Have introduced my DM to cashback sites this evening, she couldn't believe she'll get £30 for free! I need to see what offers are available for new SKY subscribers now.
