Hello 😊
Thank you for swinging by my thread and saying positive things 😊 Thought I would pop in and repay the compliment!

Seriously impressive debt reduction! And absolutely excellent news about heading off the diabetes. I’m at risk of developing it (I have an over active immune system apparently) so I am conscious of reducing sugar intake (don’t drink fruit juice any more, avoid sugary drinks of all other kinds including artificial sweeteners and other things) but you have given me some further ideas on how to reduce / manage my overall carbs too. Thank you.

Thanks @KajiKita and @savingholmes! So a while since I updated.  The headlines include:

Dd perhaps still on a learning curve re the balance of saving vs spending.   She was nearly up to the interest-free limit of her overdraft before she told me.  Lessons have been learned; she has paid it off through working; some loaned money and some presents. 

I have come to the conclusion that my most lucrative work has gone away, possibly for ever, certainly for now.  However, I have other income streams in the pipeline and at least I have had my LBM. I am worried about people who haven't or who have but are in a massive hole and will struggle to get out without a block and tackle.

I have to make an appointment for annual blood sugar checkup.  I know I'm generally doing the right things but still feel nervous.  

Onwards and upwards love Humdinger xx

Overdrafts are such a nightmare!  Easy to use difficult to get rid of. Hopefully a lesson learned. Hope the bloods go ok.

Good luck with the bloods.  I'm nervous to book mine!

Good luck with DD learning her lesson. 

Hope the blood test goes well.

Hope you find fresh avenues to explore to bring in more income.

Good luck with your bloods. Sounds like it should be fine 
I like that you are investing in 'fun and frolics' not just future self. I want to do that too...

I have booked 2 medical appointments: one to get blood taken, and a follow-up a week later to discuss the results.   I did wait till my pinprick test results were normal and have since been exercising like a fiend and keeping to an ultra low-carb diet.  Onwards and upwards love Humdinger xx

Hope the results are good. Fallen off the low carb wagon.
