2 Dogs, Bertie and Binky(yes from Made in Chelsea and named by my daughter)
Apple

Any with strange looking animals on them and this one
Yes, yes,yes
It's too many to list but about 30
Berlin, only because besides London that's the city I've spent most time in followed by San Francisco
Corrie because I like the humour in it
Spring Watch and Autumn Watch because they are so 'off the cuff' and refreshing for it
Historical programmes that are narrated by historians and tell the truth about history
I watch a lot of stuff that I quite like but are not favourites - hate Dr Foster!
No not wealthy in this country but in some others would be considered as very wealthy
No I don't at the present as I have three conflicting health conditions which results in me being very very tired at many times during the day
Used to assist husband in his business and used to do the flowers for weddings and other big events

As a Certified LCHF Coach, I follow much on this forum. A few people are beginning to learn the correct lifestyle to achieve good health. While I may not give advice, I am able to comment or suggest things. I was trained by The Real Meal Revolution from Cape Town.
In South Africa, the word banting has become both a verb and an acronym for LCHF, hence my avatar as Banting Coach.

Hi everyone I am a T1 diabetic lady who has survived almost 50 years now, was diagnosed at Kings when I was 5. Where I am still attending. Their care has been amazing, have had 3 lovely daughters and so doing my best. My hba1c was 7.2 a few weeks ago. My hypo awareness isn't as good now so am using a Dexcom CGM which I find amazing as it alerts me through my phone what my glucose levels are doing, so get an alarm if they go too high or too low. Life changing! Anxious atm as my yearly routine blood test has shown my kidneys are not working very well, at stage 4 apparently! Have had all the tests done just waiting until November to see the kidney doctors. I have no symptoms apart from anaemia, blood pressure is low, no breathlessness or swollen ankles. Anyone have any advice or similar experience?
