Been grey & warm, grey and cold, sunny & warm, sunny & cold...at one point I wore my winter coat to walk Rocks. Now it's grey and cool with my own personal heating system on full blast and cold hands...

@ickihun - Vicky, R says going to have to get/sort out spare bedroom for a Nursery for Grandchild!!! The bedroom is so full of: few pieces of Mum's furniture, suitcases full of Mum's bedding & towels and boxes of nick-nacks - I don want to deal with it and I want no-one else to touch anything, not yet anyway. My Sister has been saying for nearly 6 years (since Mum passed) I have to sort through it and get rid!!! No-one will touch anything or allowed to go in that room. Everybody is different in their grieving process and I'm obviously still in that process??? :)

Oh William, what would your mum say about it? If she would think it ok then it is. Mummies know best. ;)

Mum was not a hoarder, she would tell me off and say get rid off it! I know I must, but in my own time and the Grandchild is not due till October - I reckon it will be born in November. :)
 
@liam1955 my mum never got rid of Dad's things, my brother never got rid of Mum's OR Dad's things. When my brother died ,4 years ago I had a lot of work to do before I could sell bungalow. I even found my grandmother's birth certificate and her certificate of education to show she had reached a level, at age 12, where she could go out to work
I do still have a few boxes I need to sort....

It sounds like it William, my dad died 8 years ago and keeping his stuff is even more important to mum now she's blind. She was just starting to lose her sight when he died but the stress accelerated the process. Sending you massive hugs xx
 
I had my injection at the GP, not for the diabetes, but for the ASD meltdowns because there's some chemical in them that nullify and suppress the dopamine that causes them. My blood sugar was 5.3.

@liam1955

My mam passed away in 2002 and my 2 Sisters brother and myself sorted a lot of stuff together quite quickly but there was some items still sitting in one of my sisters home that we agreed would sort later and it's still not been done

It might be easier to do a bit at a time William otherwise it may be a bit overwhelming. Maybe start on a good day. Great memories from a great woman? I'm thankful you had a great mum. :)
 
Well done on your numbers @debrasue

After my telling off I disappeared for a while, but I missed you all so I'm back! Week 6 of my diabetic self management course today - the negative folks have dropped out, just positive people for the last few weeks. Tutor said I'm a model diabetic patient so feeling chuffed at that. Also have to make a cake for our last session next week!

Dietician said type 2 not on insulin shouldn't test themselves, boy that was an interesting convo. Tutor didn't agree thankfully. I shared info on SD monitor, dirty looks from dietician :)

Otherwise 5.5 FBG this morning so a happy chap. BG been in the 5s and no overrun from a camping weekend away. Back swimming after a few days off. Feeling good and kicking this darn diabetes into touch :)

Hi @PenfoldAPD good to have you back. That is interesting stuff about your self-management course, it's good that they recognise your "model diabetic status" though what I find puzzling is- how can they say that and then ask you to make a cake for everyone?

One of the low carb ones I'm presuming. The stratiacella? (that almond flour one) is lovely
 
Hi @13lizanne as @Sable_Jan guessed it is low carb cake made with sugar substitutes. I'm browsing the Ditch the Carbs website and looking at making Sugar Free Macaroons and Low Carb Chocolate Berry Brownies :) tying to work out difference between stevia and xylitol to make sure I get it right. The class cheered when I said my goal for the next week is to do some baking LOL

I made them a low carb lemon cake recently and everyone on the course loved it :p
