That’s better news Oma. Yes, it is important not to skip meals, sometimes it’s hard when you just don’t feel hungry. P sometimes has to eat digestive biscuits just before bedtime to bring his sugar levels up to see him through the night. Shame about the op but they’ll want you to be 100% before they do it.

We managed to get round the supermarket this morning with no problem for DH so that was good. Nice for him,to,get out even if it was only to do the shopping. He looks so well which is a good sign and seems back to his old self...ie nosy about the neighbours and generally being silly 😀

Hello everyone.

Oma your news about your bloods was a positive one, at least the reading has come down and you are wise enough not to skip any meals
.
Zizi I also have a Debenhams card which does give a saving as long as , like you , I pay the bill in full every month so as not to incur any interest charges . I often get emails with offers that can be had 24 hours before they are in store. I saved about £10 this Christmas just on one order.

Daisy hope your GD is soon feeling better

.My blood pressure tests went well . The first one was a little high, the second was lower and the third one was perfect so no pills for me thankfully. The only thing that they can put down to the dizziness and some times feeling completely unwell is the lack of sleep as some times I can go a complete 24/48 hours with no sleep. I find it so hard to keep still and as soon as I go to bed the fidgeting starts , the urge to move my whole body is immense . OH still thinks I am mad, after all he says, how hard can it be to keep still....Extremely hard I reply , I can't even sit and watch TV for long without moving about .

We went to Tesco today just to pick up some tea cake and we came home with a new wreath for the front door. ( It was OH's idea about getting a new one ) . The old wreath has been demoted to sitting on a hook on the shed wall ! I have to say there was nothing wrong with the original wreath as far as I could see but never mind

So as part of my job I organise food bank collections and collections of toiletries for homeless hostels etc. from my sites. Tesco had a Trussel Trust food bank collection in the foyer last weekend so, although husband said “don’t you think you do enough” . I bought a whole load of stuff to put in the basket. Because I have been to lots of Food banks I do have an idea of what they are looking for. They have loads of pasta, rice, tomato soup, weetabix and not so much daily cleaning stuff or hygiene items. I put our stuff in the bags while we were scanning and shopping and the food bank stuff in the big basket, well I gave it all to husband with instructions.

We got home and I found a six pac of pineapple juice but no dishwasher tablets. He had put them in the wrong bit! I am not saying people using foodbanks don’t have dishwashers as fortunes do change but they aren’t exactly edible or 100% necessary in the scheme of things. Still never mind someone will be happy somewhere. Had to buy some more dishwasher tabs for us and I drank some of the pineapple juice (5 a day) and kept the rest for the children

Good morning everyone. I'll catch up later, but just wanted to say to Oma 'safe journey' and enjoy your trip to Germany. Glad your blood sugar was down even though you'd like it lower. Hang on to the Lucozade and jelly babies, just in case, but enjoy yourself. xx

Good morning all.
Oma, I'm sure you will have a wonderful time! The two of you deserve this break so much. You haven't had a holiday for years, Bon voyage

Today OH is taking up my mums hallway carpet and replacing the underlay. We only have one day before Christmas when we are both free, and we have earmarked that (next Sunday) for putting up the Christmas tree. So this morning we are both going over so I can help OH get the carpet up and moved away. Then home, changed and into town to meet a friend for lunch. Then back to mums to help replace the carpet!

Have a good day everyone.
