Come the Revolution and you'll all be dunking your biscuits in warm beverages or else you'll be deported to Southend
MMWWUUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
If there is anyone from Southend, please can you enlighten me as to whether or not you eat crunchy biscuits?Totally agree. Hope no one is from Southend on here now
Do they know whether the biscuits as soggy dunked, or dry and crisp, though?A couple of my relatives have the Southend postcode, they live in Basildon and Wickford,so maybe that doesn't count ? never been to Southend myself.

Yes, I agree, it is a bit random. Funny how stuff becomes important, when it really isn’t. Especially as I don’t eat biscuits. Southend biscuit query will remain one of lifes little mysteries to me.That is a good question, I could get a family member to Facebook them ( I am NOT randomly asking them, because they will think I have really lost it lol)
My DSN said she would do me a letter. I am off to Turkey again in Sept and security is VERY tight there. Never had any probs with my insulin and needles etc there BUT would allow them thru the Xray machine
Hi @porl69 I am off to Turkey in just over 3 weeks but on this occasion will not be taking my pump. i just feel it is too m uch stuff to take, all of the pump spares plus pens insulin etc as back up. I will come off the pump a few days before i go to get back in routine for injections and make any necessary adjustments
I live in a suburb of Southend..........no dunking of biscuits of any description in this household....
@Pipp .....most definitely crunchy.....can’t stand a soggy biscuit....and preferably containing or coated with chocolate....If there is anyone from Southend, please can you enlighten me as to whether or not you eat crunchy biscuits?
@Robinredbreast ....spent my childhood and grew up in the second of those so know it well....not far from Southend where we live close to now....I haven’t moved far....A couple of my relatives have the Southend postcode, they live in Basildon and Wickford,so maybe that doesn't count ? never been to Southend myself.
@smc4761 I get your point about all the pump stuff you have to take with you when you go away.
Personally, I decided it was worth it because, when I go away I need to vary my basal more than usual ... because I exercise more constantly. But I get that you want a break.
One thing I realised when I was forced back to injections (due to pump failure) was I needed my basal injection as soon as I stopped the pump because I had no basal on board. From then on, I had to remember my basal at that time of day which was an inconvenient 3pm.
Given you are choosing to return to MDI, my hint would be to remove your pump at the time you want to do (and remember to do) your basal injections.
You know you are allowed an extra carry on/hand luggage because of your T1D. Just contact the airline and they will make the relevant adjustments to your ticket.
What part of Turkey are you off to??

Tea is awesome !! it's the cuppa that has helped me through some rough and sad times and friendly warm chats with laughter, it's an all rounder
Coffee is nice too, if I am out and about I get a coffee because most places serve disgusting tea and expensive too for a lack- lustre tea bag, in some hot water with a splash of milk
Your surgery sounds a lot like mine @Japes. We've taken to dropping prescription requests in through the letterbox at least ten days early! Gives us a fighting chance of getting the mistakes sorted out before the drugs are actually needed....
