hh1im having my bathroom done so far tilings done bath and shower fitted and toilet temp fitted i hate getting work doneWas up and out very early today running loads of errands, doing food shopping, ordering stuff for the rehabilitation of a large concrete slab in the garden. It used to have a wooden building which became so dilapidated it eventually had to be taken down and has been bare for the last 4 years, and looking more and more unsightly. So I'm going to have it paved and put a new shed and some seating on it. A mate's going to do it for me, and I've been touring the local builder's merchants to get the best deal on the sand and cement, and I need more gravel for the area around it. All arriving on Tuesday, except of course the paving, and once that's here he'll get underway with it.
It's all bad timing really as my bathroom's being entirely taken out and replaced starting Monday week and none of these jobs will be finished by the time puppy arrives. Still, it means she'll get to meet lots of people and experience new things I guess.
@Antje77 , what breeds of dog do you have and what are their names?
I don't think so. At least, I don't think I'm more thirsty than my non diabetic friends.Could anyone tell me if dehydration is a normal part of being a T1? I'm always thirsty despite having good BG levels.
Please do try it and send us pictures of both your face and your boyfriend's when he sees you!If I'm honest, it does look like something that has expired.
I do have a bubble face mask laying around but I don't want to frighten my bf just yet.
Back from holiday to discover that someone drove into my car while we were away. No info left, just a scrape down passenger side. I am raging.

I use to toot to university with a 5L bottle of water and consume just as much at home. I also can't go shopping or do my usual girly shopping without having water on me. I do go to the toilet every 10-15 mins with the way I'm drinking, that's not surprising right?I remember google said I was drinking like an athlete when I'm not an athlete.
If it's any consolation @Diakat , my car was damaged yesterday in Sainsbury's carpark. The other party left a note, but not enough information to make contact. Between reporting it to the police, asking Sainbury's to review their CCTV and our insurers, it's been hours of unneccesary hassle.
On my car, it's just the front bumper that's been broken, so that'll need to be replaced. I can conclude the cat that hit me was white or silver, due to the paint sharing.
After almost 2 hours on the phone with our insurers (they were having IT issues at the time), I now have the other party's insurer details, so that'll be Plan A.
It's such a pain when these things happen. I feel your pain, even if I am a slightly better position that you in terms of who will foot the repair bill.
Well i thought my slab laying/ patio exploits had finished after I completed our garden at the new bungalow we moved into this time last year.
Oh no . Fast forward a few months and my wonderful daughter advises me that her hubby is going to lay a patio. I’m under strict orders not to get involved as he is adamant he knows what he is doing. This all sounds great to me. A chat a few weeks back and it transpired all was not rosy in the garden. ( basically he hasn’t got a clue how to prepare a patio let alone lay one ).
Fast forward to today. I managed to get a half decent level to the garden after it had been dug out a little to much two weeks ago.
Got 2/3 of the slabs down this afternoon.
Aching like ....a 55 yr old T1 should ache......but really happy.
1. I can still do it.
2. The grandkids had great fun helping me mix and were both really useful when I needed something passing.
3. When the “ other “ grandparents turned up they kinda got ignored in preference of me. RESULT
4. I’ve only needed 2 bolus injections today. Ham and tomato cob didn’t need a bolus.
Gonna do the rest tomorrow, weather permitting. Aching now but recalling kids trying to mix compo is keeping smiling and pain freeish.
Blood sugars throughout the day? Don’t GAS when I have this much fun.
Bwahahaha, I just googled that!

hh1im having my bathroom done so far tilings done bath and shower fitted and toilet temp fitted i hate getting work done
I’m not sure why, but this really made me smile.Oddly, we live in a bungalow too.
@karen8967 so do I but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and get on with it - I'm not looking forward to it, just what it'll be like afterwards. My bathroom's a good size though quite square and I have a corner bath with a shower over it. That's going (along with everything else) and I'm having a walk-in shower. Can't remember the last time I had a bath - now there's a topic for debate - bath or shower?hh1im having my bathroom done so far tilings done bath and shower fitted and toilet temp fitted i hate getting work done
@hh1 . Shower all the way. The thought of laying in a hot bath just makes me feel bad.
