Type 2 Life

Hi everyone,

Hope all is well and everyone is doing something they enjoy (even if it's nothing ). Hugs for those that need one.
Hubby and I are hibernating today (I do it most days) moaning about what's on, or not on, the tv. It's mostly dry here now but cold and windy.
I like all the new avatars, I only found out how to do it by luck. @mo53, I like your happy daisy, it makes me smile.

Going to catch up on the games, see you later.

All my cupboards are called glory holes and should have signs saying 'Enter at your own risk!!!'

I'd need a few of those sign for my wardrobes - I have 2 of those full of the stuff that won't go anywhere else but I haven't thrown out !!

Well you never know when it'll come in handy or back into fashion (that's my excuse anyway)

I agree completely, it happens to me, I'm pottering about the house and I discover I need such and such a thing for whatever it is I'm doing and I know just what I need is on one of those boxes in the wardrobe.

If you're anything like me, you get distracted by other things that you find and by the time you find it, it's far too late to do what you were going to do with it

Lazy day here building a model railway engine
 
I had a delivery from IKEA a few weeks ago and I kept the box, it rather big so today the gaff tap came out and while I was in the aforementioned 'under-the-stairs' I found clip-on bicycle lights which are now on the gaffed-up box and it can be a car or space ship or anything - not for me !! my 6 year-old niece is coming on Wednesday
 
Afternoon. Sunny here, had a nice relaxing day and eating well now. FBG 5.5.
 
It's a good job I am not being Sponsored!!! I sat watching a film this afternoon and ate half of a Terry's Chocolate Orange ( partner had half too), but the best thing is I had saved that chocolate orange since Christmas.!!

@liam1955 now I've seen your dark side (plus those hot cross buns) you appear to be a bad boy like me lmao
 
Hi @eddie1968 - The "problem" is I like chocolate (especially white) and I am easily persuaded to eat it. How are you keeping now and have you heard yet? From the sleep clinic?

No. I'm feeling a lot better though and less sleepy so good.
 
I love my family but it's nice to have a bit of quiet. @liam1955 what's this my friend ..more chocolate? I can't leave you alone for a minute Now that I've checked in I'm going to settle down to some TV with a cup of tea and a (small) lump of Double Gloucester and Chives
 
@liam1955 since it's Easter Monday I have issued you with a "Chocolate Exemption Certificate" valid to 0000 BST 29th March 2016 so no reprimand this time lol. In fact everyone can have one - yay !
 

Bet you have a go in it
 
@eddie1968 - That is terrible having to wait all this time for results. Are you about due to see your GP soon? And hope that your results are there. Lighter nights and longer days and decent weather and I can get onto eating Salads and get rid of a stubborn 10lbs that is "stalking" me. It started off here in York bloody miserable with Rain and then by lunch time it was gloriously sunny, but still cool enough to wear a coat/jacket. Have you had good weather today? I was taking Dapagliflozin along side Insulin and Metformin, but stopped the Dapagliflozin 11 days ago because of 'burning wee' and my fastings are not good. So, gone back on the Dapagliflozin and will cut down Insulin by 2 units to begin with. You take Insulin I believe? Do you find you put on weight using it ?
 
@13lizanne you enjoy your tv and cheese. @liam1955 I forgot to tell you that your posts mentioning cheeseburgers set me off and I had cheeseburger with onions but no bun yesterday lunchtime. It was lovely. But I am not going to join you with the chocolate! You enjoy. My grandson loved his dinosaur transporter. It's Tuesday tomorrow. I hope everything goes well with the nurses visit.
 
@13lizanne Have missed you and everybody and left to my own devices when I am bored I eat = yes, chocolate!! Tomorrow, have the Injections - I am both "excited" and "apprehensive"!!!
 
No - I've bucked the trend and lost a lot of weight since being put on insulin two years ago. I should hear from the Sleep Clinic soon. My GP is more concerned about my stomach issues and I have lost more weight inadvertently. You might have a UTI @liam1955 so get a wee sample in. I have Multistix that check for Glucose, Ketones, Blood, PH, Leukocytes (UTI infections) and Bilirubin (liver problems). They are handy to check your urine now and again when you feel unwell. They are the same test strips DSNs and GPs use when spot testing your urine.. The weather has been fab here. calm and sunny. I stay in "storm alley" and this storm was unusually in the very south of the UK and I didn't get affected by it so glad. I've had 90+ MPH and 100 MPH gusts here in the past and have had a good few roof repairs and power cuts.
