Hey @Mel dCP next time you change and want a small car keep an eye out for either an Alfa Romeo Mito, small and nice or one of those Fiat 500 TwinAir, yes yes I know but they are a hoot to drive, go like stink and not bad mpg.

No idea if there are diesel versions mind you, the last car I got I went from (before I got the Alfa) a Mini to a small economical cheap to run car.....




Which was a 3.5litre CLS Merc diesel , which a nice place to be on a Monday morning in a traffic jam
 
Doubt I’ll find one on my usual budget - this thing cost me the grand total of £850
 
Night night Karen, night night all, happy dreams.
 
Hi @helensaramay, I understand your point of view. The tip-over point is perhaps when there is risk of them getting in harm's way like a ciggie setting the house on fire and when the family continue to ignore the obvious. Not easy!! I recall having to report some neighbours because of similar circumstances but their house was so crammed with whatever that it was possible fire-hazard. The local fire brigade inspected and things went from there.
 
Please stay with the idea of purple @Mel dCP. Gotta have your signature colour! Or compromise with this little fella's hue.
spawn a frog-Gothic theme ??
 
Good morning lovely people!

Yesterday I decided to do the long walk planned for the First Saturday of February Half Term 2018 which got scuppered just ever so slightly last year by this starting on insulin and adjusting my mindset from T2 to LADA malarkey. Yep, a whole year as of yesterday.

"Don't think the clinic sees many diabetics of any variety doing walks of that length?" commented GP when I was reporting back on the clinic visit of a couple of weeks ago, where I'd frightened the registrar with mention of such activity. And induced panic because she didn't know what to suggest lowing my insulin by - I pointed out relatively gently that her suggested figure of 20% didn't really work with my usual amount of units for a midday meal (around 3 or 4) with a pen which only dispenses one unit at a time, and that really she didn't need to worry as I'd got the hang of what works on a regular basis. (Apart from the week I wore more green socks than usual or had started a new batch of Novorapid and landed home several nights running on 3.9/3.8 which was what she was panicking about.)

Interesting to look back and see how much easier going out for that kind of walk is now and how much more instinctive my working out if I need insulin with unknown meals if mid walk has become. Possibly missing the weight training of carrying a packed lunch/dinner with me on long walk days, but definitely enjoying the freedom to eat out much more easily.

Anyway, apart from the low feeling as I moved bus stops away from the elderly gentleman (I use the term loosely) who felt it necessary to poke me in the bum with his walking cane because I wasn't instantly responding to him (there were others at the bus stop, I had my back to him so wasn't aware he was talking to me, I was definitely dropping and tend to go quiet whilst I'm thinking what to do), a perfect day on the blood sugars front, with only one additional snack needed. My calculations, not the registrar's, were used. Elderly Gentleman was given the full and loud version of my opinion of his unacceptable behaviour.
 
Good morning fellow prickler's and wishing you a Happy Sunday.
Blue skies and sun here
I had a nice afternoon out yesterday, down by a canal, it was cloudy and a bit chilly, but a nice change. Watched a barge go by from the small bridge, then had a coffee and after that a walk





The Kennet and Avon canal
