Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, and frosty here in brackley this morning , yesterdays diabetes result its gone down to 6.4 and weight loss as well.
I think taking the black seed oil twice a day may have helped?

Good Morning All.

Not much fun.

Well, two babies up, changed, washed, dressed, breakfasted, a wash on. By nine o’clock. And four books read, two arguments sorted, lots of action rhymes sung, dishwasher emptied with lots of “help”, I’m ready to put my feet up!

Good morning's from an Arctic Aberdeenshire! It is fffffreezing outside and everything is covered in heavy frost, 'tho the sky is clear and the sun is bright.
Shall crack on with more sewing today...with the radio on and the fan heater pumping out warmth, it's amazing how much you can get done.
Poor MOMB, I hope you feel better soon...I've just had similar and the only place to be is in bed. Keep taking toddy.brewflowers

Good morning everyone.
It's grey, cold and very still here at the moment. If there was frost, it has melted away, but it is my no means warm. It's about 3 degrees according to the local weather report.
Well done mick on lowering your blood sugar levels and the weight loss - not easy to do over the festive period.
Not a lot planned for today.
Hope you all have a pleasant day, and those unwell, hope you soon start to feel brighter. ?

Good morning from North Shropshire.A dull day weather wise.I have a couple of days off from looking after my granddaughter so will catch up on some sorting out and hopefully start reading one of the new books I got for Christmas.Think I will give the black seed oil a try Mick,my sugars are slightly higher than I would like so worth a try??

Well done Mick, I need to check my diabetes & weight now the festive season is over (my annual check up next month)

Cold & frosty first thing here in Devon, now clearing 3C. Need to go to Library, collect my Prescription & go to Podiatry, phone call at 7.30 pm to ask if I could go today instead of next Tuesday. Bit of shopping whilst I'm out. Hope the sun makes an appearance as it was gorgeous yesterday here. Hope all of you feeling unwell make a speedy recoveryflowers

Hope you feel better soon mumofmadboys. The weather isn't really doing anything here in the East Midlands, just a bit murky. My nose is itchy and sneezy and eyes bleary, damn! Hope I'd got away without catching those germs but apparently not.

Just got home from Lake Como late last night and cannot believe how cold it is here. So today it’s emptying my suitcase, laundry etc and keeping warm ! I also need a power walk pm to help shift my holiday excess plus make a home made soup to live on for a few days so my jeans don’t feel quite so tight !

Sorry have got fat fingers today!
Morning all from a grey murky Hampshire. Had bad night as sneezing and coughing with a sore throat, been around since before Christmas!
Trying to get to take the energy to take the dog out, I know I will feel better when I have.
Take care all and have a good day

Good morning. Basics done, shopped for fresh fruit nd veg, time for coffee and read the news - GN and the rest of the world. Trying to drink less coffee so going to take time to savour the two a day I am going to allow myself, one just now and one after lunch. Have a good day all.

Hello, very early start to today ( or was it a late finish; drove back from a friend's at 2am - temperature down to -3 - we got carried away catching up).Bright but cold near Morpeth. Today we go back to London, so will miss the walking (my brother's dog has already started moping as he misses our car), but looking forward to seeing DD,DGD and DS (the last one having had a gathering at our house while we've been away...)

Morning from South Wales. Seems colder today as it's not sunny. Taking the decs down. We have two gardeners here today cutting back all the trees and shrubs. Just taken them some tea and homemade fruit muffins which have gone down well. We don't get much frost here as we're on the coast. Going to make myself some coffee now and finish packing the tree decs, though good timing - the gardeners can take the tree away in their van.

Back on the 5:2 today too so very glad of the tips.
Having an operation on my foot on the 16th so am trying to lose a bit of weight. Haven't weighed since before Christmas, going to pluck up some courage and weigh tomorrow.

Thorntrees Thu 03-Jan-19 12:38:18

Same here with the 5.2 we usually do Thursdays and Mondays. Just back from the library which reopened after the Christmas break,they were having a book sale so couldn’t resist a couple. Cold out, , but clear and fresh. Crocheting this afternoon to take my mind of the Christmas chocs still lurking in the cupboard. Hope everyone has a good day.

Sorry, its good afternoon from me in Sweden, a cold morning but beautifull, sunny and pleasant day.Days are longer and lighter but not the mornings yet, but they are on their way.

I see other people have the dreaded lurgy. I have had it for two weeks now and feel rotten and incapable of doing anything much. My sinuses are appalling and my lungs are clogged up. I'm sleeping in the spare room, so my husband doesn't catch it, but he just said he feels as if he's getting a cold. Is it worth going to the doctor, do you think, I feel so unwell and I'm missing all the sales!

God kväll Nanny41; Välkommen till GN. Jag är en OAP Grandad som bor i OZ och försöker lära mig språk via Internet för ett jobb med FN som tolk. Vi hade några tyska lektioner innan jul, men svenska kommer att bli en bra förändring.
Gott nytt år
