GOOD AFTERNOON/EVENING.

Hello everybody. Hope you are all having a great day. :)
@Liam1955 your Christmas sounds excellent. And how lovely to be having a baby with all the family. I went swimming 3 times last week and have been today. I did 33 lengths in 45 mins. I had my diabetic review this morning. I have to lose weight! I will get the results of my blood test on Friday. So...... More swimming and less carbs. I agree with you totally about a low fat diet... You end up with more sugar. Take care. :)

Oh @maureen5752 you poor thing, you are really having it bad of late. Just remember if you don't feel like eating? Drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated. I go off food completely when I am ill, so I just have cuppa soups - but as they are packets, got to watch the sugar content. But, then you know when ill blood sugars are going to go up slightly.
Oh that is really nice - your Daughter inviting you for Christmas Dinner:),you could offer to buy the Christmas Pudding (M & S do a luxury one) and take some Wine for dinner.
R & I always have Christmas Dinner here at home, despite everyone inviting us, but, we go up to his Parents for Christmas Day Tea and his Daughter & Hubby and New Baby, his Ex-wife & Partner all there and we are all very civilised/proper. Only thing is, his Son whose at Cambridge University is not coming home to York this Christmas - he is spending it in London with Mates. (And why not? But, his Mum is not happy). Boxing Day we all (Family) go to the ex-wife's for "Burnt offerings" :D - Dinner!!
I will send the recipe to you in a PM later today - Cannot put it on Vegetarian Thread because of Smokey bacon in it = they will give me a telling off :).
Richard's Daughter is due this Friday 21st to give birth. He is so excited like a big kid at being a Granddad.:)
William:)
P.S.. Forgot to say. Usually about once a year the blood is tested for Vitamin B12 deficiency. (Mine is anyway, cos I am Aneamic).

. @ liam1955. Hi Liam thanks look forward to PM. Yeh I always do Xmas dinner ect & they stay over but as they've bought a house & done it lovely she wants to do dinner so as you say I always get pudding from m&s, with cherries, nuts, booze, I'll push to pay for turkey ect, I always give her money with her presents, usually channel perfume & eve st laurent mascara, so I'll give extra cash this year so as to cover some expense, sounds like your gonna have a busy Xmas, Richard must be very excited about Friday, think of all the baby sitting you'll be doing. Wish they'd check me for Vit B12, they don't seen interested, just gob me off. Anyway hope all goes well for Friday take care of yourselfs x
 
Well Done @mo53 - I am proud of you, back on the multiple lengths at the Swimming Baths. Are you going to tell us on here what your blood results are after Friday ? Or you can send me a PM and tell me - as you know I would never divulge any information = unless I was paid good money!!:D:D.
R Said the 'Low Fat Diet' was making me miserable and not a nice person to live with! So I have come off Low Fat - and get back to being Happy Me - Again.:wacky:
 
@Liam1955 my partner has been told by the Doctor that he needs a low fat diet to lower his cholesterol. So I am trying to cater for low fat and low carb on our meals. :) R is right if it's making you miserable then come off it. Yes I will let you know my result when I get it. It has been excellent the last two but I know it is going to be high this time.
 
Hi @maureen5752 sorry your feeling under the weather sending you a massive warm hug to keep those chills out .
Been a little up and down myself lately Tina would probably say all my own fault for pushing myself to much and not listening to my body .
Getting stressed with all these forms and phone calls to sort the benefits out but it's all falling into place now .
Just need to get the seizures under control again just when I think I've got it controlled they come back and bite me in the bum .
Take care Maureen and keep up the fluids ( still loaded and ready for those pesky rats )

@eldergarth, hi sorry to hear things not been so good with you, hope things improve soon, I'm sending you a big hug as well, filling in forms drives me mental, but once you get it sorted & in the system it will be worth it hopefully, take care of yourself & don't overdo it. Let you know that f I need a rat catcher ha ha
 
Sending all of you who are ill or just feeling ****** a great big warm Cumberland hug

@Liam1955 Thanks for recipe, sounds delicious, I'll try and cook it, but it means I'm gonna have to eat cheese again!!!! Still haven't ate any. Could always close my eyes. I don't know what's going on but had 3 kettles blow in 2 weeks, all fuses blew couple weeks ago & had to throw out all food in the freezer, don't know what's going on

@debrasue hi you ok? It was checked this year all ok, it's just when I use electric kettles, not had that problem before. My neighbour had same problem few years ago with every kettle, have to go buy stove top kettle now & play safe. Have good day everyone
 
Good Afternoon Folks. :)
I fasted from getting up until 2pm today, started feeling 'shaky' - as we were in the Wyevale Garden Centre decided to have a late lunch of Scampi, Chips and Peas, plus a Latte.

Did you test? Lol
 
Liam1955 said:
No. But as I had a fasting of 5.3 this morning - I "knew" the shakes was a warning sign - if I did not eat soon, I would go Hypo. Round about 3.8 is early warning system that I am going Hypo.

I'll give you a shock now Ron has tested just now .
 
Liam1955 said:
They tasted absolutely Yummy. (Never have or cook chips at home)

Only chips I've had in 2 yrs are sweet potatoe chips I cooked once & put some chilli flakes on, they tasted great, I love chips but never eat them now
 
Afternoon everyone. Ron's taking a nap. Seems everytime we go out and he's walking around his spine and hips give him trouble . Our son gave us some good news this morning seems his boss is interested in buying our house . Our son was surprised just how bad Ron is at not being able to carry much due to weight . He can only carry very light items .
