Hope everyone has had a good day.

Joining the night shift as we are watching DS2 while he snowboards. (Session runs from 8 pm to 11pm). Only letting him do it cos it's the hols and as a reward for revision. Hope he doesn't expect me to do this every week!! We won't be home till midnight.:eek:

Bag of stuff to Charity shop and bag of shoes to shoe bank today. Listed stuff on eBay. Counting the items I have decluttered for Lent tomorrow. Just to make sure I have 40 items. Sharing them between school and my friends bric a brac stall she runs at Summer fair for the community where her son lives. So, need to be decent quality. :eek:

DH has assembled our IKEA cupboards today. We have brought the last of our IKEA food and drink to snowboarding tonight. Hope they do the 'food' offer again! :j

Bubbs, do you have different settings on your testing kit as you can vary how hard it goes in skin and you might need stronger setting. My friend Andrew was diagnosed Type 2 about 3 years ago and at first Steve loved doing the testing on him, coz it hurt lol. But he does it himself now and he sometimes has to do it two or three times to get enough blood even now. My other bestie Kit is Type 1 diabetic so has been testing and injecting all her life, so her finger tips are numb

Could this be done elsewhere on the body?

No, I'm sure it's just finger tips

bubbs, your thumbs may be easier than finger tips.

Saw some little kid at the self service at sainsbob tiny store, in tears because he was 50p short on his shopping. Gave him the 50p but he refused it. So I just put the 50p down next to him and left. Next thing is his father is marching into the shop calling him an idiot as the 50p is on the counter!

Morning all - I manned the night shift all on my own, usual set of problems with no solutions - Errant son going off for his first interview on Thursday afternoon, weekend visitors - what I am I going to feed them and will they need entertaining, will it ever stop raining long enough to get stuff done outside this week, sisters op on the 19th ....

Oh trashing around like a beached whale all night again, I think Ive had about 3 hours sleep, OH gave up the struggle and got up about 4.30 ...

At least its Tuesday - I like Tuesdays :j

Certainly Christmas but possibly November. I can't bear to watch the news at the moment:o

How are you? Back to work tomorrow?:o:)

We managed not to listen or watch the news for 6 months whilst Eldest son was in Afghan
- except for one Saturday morning, not good

2 for £2 crisps/snacks looks to be ending at the moment, various prices. 82 items in the offer.
The dearer the crisps, the better the return

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda/bundle/661175_1917575.html

On quick glance, a few good comparisons.

Kettle Chips v Waitrose/Morrisons 2 for £2.00 offer. £3.20 v £2.00 c. 30p a pack

Jacobs Mini Cheddars/Crinkleys v Tesco £1.00. £3.30 v £2.00 c. 25p a pack.

Doritos v Sainsbobs £1.00. £2.90 v £2.00.

(Check varieties stocked).


And KTC beans/tomatoes 3 for £1.00.

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda/bundle/670043_1799627.html

Some of the beans (45p each) should compare to Morries 4 for £1.00 offer but you would need to buy in 12s – £5.40 v £3.00


Check offer comes off at till/price they scan through at in case price drops later and don't shop too early - not exactly sure of what time is too early though.
