I often treat her to an Italian meal out and don't tell her it's booked until the night before lol

Worth every penny

You are a sneak lmao

Oh! Sorry to hear that you still feel "fluey" @Diamum5972 hope that you feel better soon x
Isn't it strange that people, who know that we are diabetic, still offer us foods that are "off the menu" it is difficult when it's the in-laws @liam1955 isn't it, we can't be quite as direct with them. I'm very lucky that my family understand

Mine understand but don't want to change with me. Hence I'm on my own, except for you guys. ♡♥♡

I have a friend like that too, Maureen. She drives me crazy at times, but I just smile and nod, and say nothing. It would be a complete waste of time to try and educate her. Besides, she doesn't even pause to take a breath, so I wouldn't be able to get a word in edgeways anyway!

My friend knows I love her millionaire's shortbread.....I usually cut it small and put it in the freezer but pig out on a big piece before I freeze the rest
Other cakes I pass onto or save for grandkids. I accidentally found out her sticky ginger is yummy whilst still frozen

Well, I haven't been for any long walks this morning, but I have looked after the two Tiny Terrorists while their mum went shopping, which is the equivalent of a 10-mile hike! Now I have to work this afternoon so I'll be chained to my keyboard for the next 5 hours.

No, really, don't worry about me - I'm sure I'll be fine! You all just go and enjoy the sunshine...

What sunshine?

 

[Sable_Jan]

Is that what it was? LOL - I thought someone was strangling a cat in the garden...
I'm skiving now as my Inbox is empty for a while, so I thought I'd catch up on what all you layabouts are up to!
Yes, thanks, Karen - the girls are the sunshine in my life, and we do have great fun. They love being outdoors, as I do, and there's always something interesting to find in the garden, like a newt hiding under a log, or some frantic woodlice under the flowerpots. And then there's the baking, and the glue & glitter painting, and making up songs and stories... Hours of fun!

Think I will stay in tonight and rest. I have a hot water bottle on my back as it hurts a bit on bending. GP said I have pulled some muscles. Going to use my TENS machine later.

His new car as he couldn't manage in his old one due to his hip and knees.

Automatic? Chose to learn to drive automatic as I was 50 with not the best coordination and two hips in need of replacement ... Passed first time

 

[Sable_Jan]

You have a huge treat in store whenever they decide to make you a grandma! It's so much more fun than being a mum, because it's more or less expected that you're going to spoil them rotten, and you have a lot more time to do stuff with them than you ever had when your own children were small.

And often more money to spare for treats.....

 

[Sable_Jan]

@Cumberland, you old romantic you....

 

[Sable_Jan]

Ian - you old softy! She's going to be so chuffed.........

Wilkinson do their own heat pads 2 for £1. They are good, I have disc problems in my back & cervical spondalitiss in my neck & they really help, stay warm longer than exspensive ones, hope you feel better soon. Keep a roast potatoes for me

 

[Sable_Jan]

Hope you find some that do. Our fave place will replace spuds for salad etc

 

[Sable_Jan]

@maureen5752 the thread wouldn't be the same if we all did short replies. It's nice to hear what folks are up to

 

[Cumberland]

@Cumberland, you old romantic you....

Good for you passing 1st time excellent

[Cumberland]

We're having scampi chips and salad for tea when Mrs Cumbs gets in at 8

It is my first proper meal in just over a week as I have lost my appetite and I'm actually feeling hungry and a bit more human today
