I also miss @knikki.
 
A sudden ban with no explanation has robbed us not just of a valued and experienced forum member, but we have no way of making contact with our friend now. So by punishing @knikki, we, his friends, have been punished too. Sad to see someone who was only a few months ago being nominated as a moderator to be just binned like he appears to have been.

Does anyone know if I must and absolutely use the blood meter that comes with the insulin pump? I know the contour next linked is connected with the pump in some way
I have the 640G and use the contour next link with it. You can use a different meter and manually enter the BG into it
 
Highly entertaining day on the diabetes front! Me and Young Vampire had matching numbers at lunchtime, which made me giggle if nothing else. It also appears Young Vampire is happy to inject in from of us and makes sure we see it all, but was less enthusiastic about me doing mine whilst I was waiting patiently for the packing up of the kit. (It's not a quick process.) Judging by the rapid covering of eyes, hiding of the head under a cushion. and the abject whimpering in the corner until I cheerfully announced it was all over.

Then, my Unofficial Trainee Colleagues decided my tiredness and general lack of concentration after the students had left had something to do with my diabetes and were keen to test to check if this were the case - I think they were actually quite disappointed I was a respectable 6.8 and therefore just genuinely tired and lacking in concentration. Though, the entire scene was watched with some alarm by our area's manager who hadn't quite realised how I was providing unofficial training.

I will admit, I'm looking forward to a lazy-ish weekend, if at all possible!
 
I would like to nominate tomorrow as Rage Blouse Day in memory of absent friends.
Friday 13th seems an appropriate date.

So, get your best batwing sleeved, bow collared, Versace print, silk blouse out of the wardrobe in preparation.
Is my zombie look not enough (from lack of sleep) ? :')

I'll try my best, but I will be hauling the planks for my new living room floor tomorrow so I expect some rage carbing up will be more likely. But with any luck that will result in some rage blousing and repeat, so who knows!
 

I buy the green Club biscuits for my daughter.
 
I have just been out for the first time today (it has been silly busy).
It smells as if someone has been muck spreading in the local fields. However, there are no local fields so I have no idea where the stink came from.

How interesting.. I came out of work this afternoon on a trading estate on the edge of the city.
A few of the guys in the car park complained of that smell..
I was brought up in a village. Don't mind the smell of cow shed...
 
Do we know that's what actually happened?

Same here. Deeply unpleasant not normal country smell. Get a lot of cow smells here in the middle of dairy country, but this wasn't that.
 
Out of curiosity I thought @knikki went somewhere. He isn’t that naughty to be banned. If he is, then I’m quite shocked. I just thought he went away somewhere, I remember he was talking about jaffa cakes before disappearing.
 
What batteries does everyone recommend for their pump? rechargeable batteries, alkaline batteries or lithium batteries?
 
Good morning guys, TGIF and I wish you all a very pleasant Friday
The next few days looks really nice, Mr sun is going to be out and about, so, I will be too tomorrow London or the coast
