That's the yellow stuff that looks like radioactive waste?
That's the yellow stuff that looks like radioactive waste?@Goonergal just a quickie.... There's some yellow stuff called 'Elbow Grease' from Home Bargains which is brilliant for getting grease off clothes and marks off walls where dogs have rubbed against them. It says on it that it's an all purpose de-greaser. I don't know where else you can get it. It seems to work on most surfaces.
@Goonergal -I do of course mean something like this, not the pop group! I prefer the flat magic sponges rather than these.You could try a damp erasure sponge very gently or, if that fails a very mild vinegar solution and a damp cloth. If you have the original paint you can touch the area up again after cleaning if necessary. Hubby managed to get something on our wall and that's the method I used. The danger with an oily mark is if you don't get it out it may seep though a repainting job.

I'm sorry you're having such issues. I don't understand insulin but I don't get why insulin doesn't bring your BGs down. My friend's ex was insulin dependent and he regarded insulin as a reason to eat anything and inject for it. His issue was the opposite to yours - numerous hypos.FBG at 7.15 was 10.5, rising to 13.7 by 9 o'clock on one cup of tea.
Insulin and then Breakfast at 10 am was a small bowl of the leek and coconut soup, with a little extra cream in it to smooth it out a bit. No ill effects this time.
BG at 2 pm (forgot to check earlier) was 10.3.
I've decided to have a sort of clafoutie with blackberries and raspberries - they need to be used up and it's what I fancy. Just 1/2 dessp of waterchestnut flour in it and no sugar. Mostly just fruit and eggs. That'll be in an hour or so.
I have been experimenting once in a while and every time I've been astonished at how my diabetes doesn't react as if it has so many carbs at all. I'm starting to get the impression it's the same with pulses for me but I don't eat them often enough to know for sure yet.@Antje77 - I regret I couldn't eat a whole cob without a spike. For something that is so good in almost every department, it's very high in starch which puts a full ear at around 18g carbs
Three small meals again after an early morning swimming and exercise session - really enjoyed my swim again.
Breakfast one slice of bacon, egg and half a toasted chaffle
Lunch cheese, celery and lc seeded crackers
Dinner sea bream in lemon butter with celeriac chips and asparagus with glass of dry wine mixed with soda followed by pudding sf jelly and cream.
My birthday plans tomorrow include an evening meal out at local pub with the 50% deal - will be interesting to see how it goes it’s our first time into the pub.

My DIL is the same. Eats what she likes, uses insulin during the day (if she remembers) but has hypos during the night (without insulin). It's all a lot more complicated than one might think at first. I think that my system just doesn't respond very well to insulin. So I need to take more and more. The new one did seem to have an effect for 2 days, at a lower level than my usual one, but now it doesn't and I'm having to put it up to getting on for the same level as the last one. And still not under control.
Btw - the clafoutie upset my stomach. Still waiting for it to pass. BG 10.7.
Neil has been looking for things in the loft and has brought down boxes and boxes of plates, cups, saucers and mugs. Some just have to go to the charity shop. I have no space for them downstairs - and he hasn't even found the ones that I thought were there. He says there is a box of small kitchen utensils there as well. Also found some old boiler suits (too small for him) and a camel coloured overall coat, which my father used to wear when he worked in a sorting office about 65 years ago. It's in a bit of a state because he used it in his workshop in later years. These things will go in the bin.
Good morning all
Just waiting to hear if the co-worker that Mr C often shares work space with has got Covid. His wife tested positive (got the result late yesterday afternoon) and her husband now has to isolate for two weeks but not before he and Mr C were in the same office for eight hours on both Monday and Tuesday - ironically the meetings were about planning their strategy should any staff be tested positive.
Breakfast: boiled eggs and buttered Burgen soldiers
Lunch: Laughing Cow on ryvita
Dinner: aubergine, tomato and mozzarella bake and green salad
