[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2514211, member: 25851"] Bit of a rush this morning - slept longer than usual after getting up to take pain killers around 1 am and today is the day my cleaner comes to do the floors. She had a horrendous tale about how much her oil direct debit has gone up by (£150 a month to £470 a month!) without warning of the size of the rise. I can't see why, even with the problems with oil these days, a rise of over 3x can be justified. As she says, that is almost as much as she earns in a month and she still has to pay other household bills and keep her 2 growing kids fed and clothed. I pay her £100 a month to clean my floors (that's £12.50 an hour which I think is a fair rate for manual work) but her other clients don't pay that much and the Council (she also works as a home carer) pay a lot less (I think around £9 an hour). I really don't know how people will manage. Of course, when we were young we just stayed as close to the one fire in the house as we could and wore extra clothes and put extra covers on the beds. Out house had Crittall windows (single glazed) and grew ice on the inside in the winter. But that's not acceptable these days. Anyway, rushing to get the floors cleared and the bed stripped left little time for breakfast so I just had a slice of the fresh wholemeal loaf Neil made for me last night with a few thin slices of cheddar. I am on the ginger and lemon tea since last evening to try to get some control over my stomach - not entirely successful, especially after taking my antibiotic pills. [ATTACH=full]54579[/ATTACH] BG was also up at 10.4 this morning and is still around that mark - at least it didn't go up when I had the bread. Just a few days ago I would have been very happy with 10 or thereabouts but recently it has been better with the earlier injection of insulin and so I'm no longer comfortable with that. Later I will have the chicken salad that I promised myself yesterday, and didn't have time to make or eat. [/QUOTE]
