Rich Tea are most certainly a double biscuit. But they are not the best dunkers. That honour goes to Hobb KnobbsGood morning everyone.
Early this morning. Great isn’t it. A week off work, no reason to get up early and here I am wide awake.
Woke up earlier, took a quick glance at Dexcom 4.4, brilliant. Then looked at the time 4.40. Spooky. Not sure whether to buy a lottery ticket or not.
Actually dropped below 4.1 and activated the alert on Dexcom so a Rich tea biscuit was called for, hopefully @Knikki and @porl69 will back me up here and point out that it isn’t possible to only eat one rich tea biscuit, they have to be eaten in pairs.
Have a great day whatever you find yourself doing.
@smc4761 the airport protocol for pumps is to keep the pump with you at all times but remember to remove the metal clip if you have one.
Walk through the metal detector arch and it should not go off. If you are invited to go through the body scanner, politely decline explaining you have an insulin pump. You may be told it will be fine but I always politely tell them the scanner is against the advice of the manufacturer and I am not willing to damage the machine that keeps me alive. A couple of guys have tried the”but my wife/friend/colleague” goes through without any issues but I stick with my message and tell them I am happy to have the manual scan/pat down. Most security guys understand and are fine.
Next step is to hang around at your gate for your delayed flight.

Sorry @porl69 I have to disagree about the best dunker. sad I know, but I watched an article about this on TV and they did an experiment to find best biscuit to dunk. The Hob Nob due to its ingredients and sugars is not the best one to dunk, in fact it did quite poorly. Best biscuit for dunking , the honour went to Rich Tea.

Yuck! I have one cup of tea a year when it is forced on me at the Residential Home Christmas Carol Singing except I've got out of it for the last two years, as term hadn't yet finished. I have never, ever enjoyed the cup of tea, but they've not quite got the hang of the fact other hot beverages are available and I meekly Do As I Am Told. Fortunately, since I lost shed loads of weight in the meandering journey from T2 to LADA, they've stopped forcing biscuits on me as well, at least, those who remember I've lost the weight.
Double Yuck to biscuit dunking in any hot beverage. @Mel dCP is perfectly correct here, it's a filthy habit.
Um, morning all!! Take 2 on prescription collecting - surgery door was locked, 15 minutes after they're supposed to be open, I'd walked up the hill with a trolley full of shopping and wasn't inclined to hang about whilst they got their act together. Then, I'm taking myself off out. Not quite sure where or what yet, but it may well be to see the Knife Ange which is outside Coventry Cathedral at the moment. Given there's just been a teenager murdered (knife crime) on my commuting walk to work, very close to Main Paid Work, I'm pretty certain this will be discussed by my lot in great depth next week when we're back.
Yesterday's cake was utterly splendid, and walked off most enthusiastically. Slightly higher than I like this morning, but the walk to the supermarket and back sorted that.
I refuse to eat Rich Tea bix. They are not nice,
My DSN said she would do me a letter. I am off to Turkey again in Sept and security is VERY tight there. Never had any probs with my insulin and needles etc there BUT would allow them thru the Xray machineThanks @helensaramay , I am trying to see if I can a letter from DSN as well
Morning all. I agree - biscuit dunking is the pastime of the devil. Especially as the only biscuits worth eating have chocolate inside or outside or both.
But I am with Mel and co - there is no point in dunking. Biscuits are supposed to be crunchy so why make them soggy.
