I was going to have breakfast early and get going on the baking that has to be done today - about 100 cupcakes of various flavours. That hasn't worked out. Feeling really off at the moment. I did have a cup of coffee at 5 am - still groggy from sleep. After that I started feeling nauseous...

Hug for all the frustration and hard work needing to be done. You are right that the work around the cellar air vent needs to be done properly, but can't that be put out of mind for now, being less urgent than the rest of the house? Does the kitchen floor need to be done with a hand brush? I...

I'd be interested to see the result, if possible. DIL bought one for me some time ago but I've never really been sure how to use it.

Thanks so much for that very informative reply. I do have to try to get an appointment with my GP because both the dentist and the dietician have asked me to get blood tests done. I was actually going to get on to the practice manager to find out some way of getting an appointment - their...

US liver scan this afternoon. Neil says the car will be alright to make that journey - only 7 miles each way, so it's all systems go! BG 4.7 at 03.40 today. Up to 8.9 after coffees and breakfast, but I daresay it will go down fairly soon. What do we think about supplements (pills)? My...

It was the only food for the day. Oddly, BG was 8.9 when I went to bed, but it was down to 4.7 by the time I got up again. Breakfast was some lentil crackers (about 24g carbs) with cottage cheese. Unfortunately, the cottage cheese that Neil bought for me was low fat. I hadn't realised that...

Just heard from APHA. They want me to send the unsolicited seeds to them for disposal, so that's what I'll do.

Yesterday I made some stuffed burgers and they were the best burgers I've ever had - much better than the ones I usually make and better than I ever remember a commercially made burger being. However, last night I felt pretty sick (just felt but it didn't develop into anything) I had another...

8.5 at 04.20 today. 2 cups of coffee later and it's 9.5 so we'll see how the day goes. Cooler at present than yesterday. Fine by me.

My main fridge (in the kitchen) isn't very big and is only used for the immediate needs. At present, though, there is just enough room in the big fridge in the back porch/utility for a couple of big boxes of cakes; maybe three, if I can move stuff around a bit. Hardly an inch left in the big...

BG at 03.20 today was 7.9. (I tested my vegan baking yesterday.) Been hovering around the 7 mark all day, but, as yet, no bolus insulin.

Thanks for the advice. I have put the cakes in packs of 6 - not iced yet - in the freezer. Unfortunately, I'm short of freezer space, so extra ones are in a big plastic box in the fridge. The 5 packs of 6 are the important ones - the rest are extras made with the mixture - I only need to...

Breakfast: sausage and eggs, tomato, coffee. 2nd meal will be more of the braised cabbage with a stuffed burger. Experimental again but they seem like a good idea.

Thank you Gennepher. That's really useful. I'll follow that up at once. There are only 4 seeds, but you never know...

Vegan coffee cake is surprisingly successful - and tastes very good. There was far too much of the mixture for just a dozen cupcakes, so there's an 8" square chunk of coffee cake plus about 8 cupcakes, waiting to be disposed of. Alistair, on Monday, I guess.:rolleyes:

A packet, with a Chinese (I think) address label came in today's post. Inside was a packet of 4 seeds. I was puzzled and, briefly, thought it was a mistake by Amazon, from whom I have ordered some plants but Neil found an item on the internet indicating that it is some kind of insurance scam...

Breakfast: avocado salad again. Neil bought 4 and they are all just at the right stage for eating, for once. No point letting them go over the top. Because I foolishly tested the vegan baking yesterday, I didn't feel like eating anything else, so no 2nd meal happened. It will be eaten...

3.5 at midnight, just as I went to bed. Rather than struggle back through to the kitchen where there are digestive biscuits, I had an emergency toffee and hoped for the best. That put BG up to 4.4 in a few minutes so I went to sleep. It was 5.1 when I woke at 04.35. Bright and sunny here...

Good luck. I don't want to put you off, but English isn't the easiest language in the world to master. There are rules to keep you right, but they are often ignored, especially these days. That's just the way the language has developed. However, you already do a pretty good job with it, so...

My BG has gone over 8 for the first time in 2 weeks. Why would that be, I wonder? Turns out that the vegan recipes I have are very good - especially the chocolate cupcakes! Had to test them, didn't I?
