If I had known about the bacon sarnies!!! If it is going to be cut back then you take it a little further than you want it, it allows it to regrow back to where you want it then just trim it to that afterwards (when it regrows that is) same goes if you are reducing the height. Be prepared for it...

even though I do it for a living (I fly a desk now though) hate cutting hedges, mine are a 10ft tall conifer at the rear of the house and a copper beech hedge at the front, love seeing the birds in it, just hate cutting it. Hope your Hedge isn't too troublesome when you cut it.

Its in, fully in runs ok for about two hours then it leaks all around the site is wet with insulin, and if I had to put insulin through for a corrective dose, you can see the wet patch get bigger, its a sign that something isn't quite right. I've questioned myself over whether I have inserted it...

no no warning as it was still delivering the insulin into the cannula, which was then leaking out of my skin. and a couple of times had the "no delivery" alarm sound which points to the cannula sealing off. I have tried the metal ones before but the irritated me something terrible during weight...

hi has anyone had the experience of cannulas sealing themselves off or the body doing it? Since Thursday last week I have had my cannulas sealing off after a couple of hours. I am on the new Medtronic 640g with silhouette soft cannulas or I have also been trying the Minimed Mio 30 (these are the...

Morning all I have had a weekend full of ………………..Hedge cutting, grass cutting and general gardening (you would think that being a gardener/tree surgeon for the best part of 30yrs I would like it, No hate it with a passion) oh and fighting high sugars all weekend, I suspect I have found the...

Goood Moooorning Diabetics! Its only bloomin FRIDAY!! A weekend of lie ins, eating until you have to be rolled around and drinking until you have to take all your clothes off and climb trees!! Or in the Pollards Sanitorium for Extraordinary Bulldogs.....I have to adult, get up early, build...

Morning all from a battle weary, just want to go home, afraid of the meter of doom diabetic. Me and Doomy have been in a battle royale since late Monday evening! It has been like a typhoon raging through the house, knocking bullie statues and figurines all over the place (obviously I picked them...

It definitely does, Diabetes shouldn't hold anyone back, it should hopefully give you the drive to do what you set your mind to. Especially considering our daily struggles.

Well I competed on Sunday in the A/BPU Northeast qualifier for 2020 British and European Championships, only competed in the Push/Pull part of the event. Finished with a 140kg bench (qualifies me for the Europeans) and a 205kg deadlift not what I wanted but with the ongoing hip issue that I have...

Morning all, me and the meter of doom have fallen out! I'm not talking to it and it is just busy lurking, you know what I mean, lurking with intent just sitting looking like its about to grab you by the scruff! Why? I have no idea it began after our morning wrestle, rolling around on the floor...

Go for it!! Always need something to aim for(I'm aiming to do British, European and World Championships next year, injuries allowing) So I say Go for the Tough Mudder, unless there's another one that takes your fancy. Again well done on completing the challenge set for you by your daughter.

Maybe a heavier deadlift? I actually enjoyed it and displayed a rare bit of emotion after the bench!! And someone caught it on video (still don't like being videoed) the person who compares it had a field day with me!! all in all still not a bad day.

Morning all, Firstly massive well done @DJC3 for completing the tough mudder and raising money for charity, my competition yesterday was a mixed bag, I managed to qualify for the European Championships next year and I also found out that I will be getting a invitation to the British...

This looks suspiciously like me trying to train my Bulldogs! well unless you have food then you can get them to stay, Maybe if your lucky!

I wouldn't even begin to try and train a cat, just because well their a cat and do as they wish! :) The cats we have had in the past just did as they pleased and only let us be their servants!! Goos luck with the training. take care

Well when you decide if you can, head over to the Edward Foundation there is lots of Bullies needing new forever sofa's, but only if you feel able to put up with one again after "Plumpy". sending a virtual hug.

I do believe that you will indeed "breeze" around the course, whilst having fun!! You can let the postie say hello to Dennis, just ask him to wait a minute first then pet him. It will be good for Dennis to have social interaction outside the house, and he's your furbaby so you set the rules for...

Morning all, couldn't stomach a fight with the meter of doom today and just crept in the kitchen and extracted, gently mind, oh so gently as if touching a sleeping dragon who is snoring flame, a 4.9 out of it and retreated like the England bowlers from confrontation. @DJC3 what the dog...

belated morning to everyone I hope you all have brilliant day and nothing worries you. A 4.9 was thrown at me by my meter of doom, I just took it meekly and scuttled out of the room as I feared its reaction. It has been flexing its muscles lately and I don't wish to "poke the bear" so to speak...
