Roast beef and all the trimmings. It was bloody lovely!

Pain au raisin from Loaf. Followed by a full fry up (bacon, sausage, black pudding, fried potatoes, toast and tomatoes). Feeling quite full now, for some reason!

I went for a cheeky 3 and a half mile walk last night (and bumped into Mrs Kwacky and the mini-Kwackies as I was setting off) which sorted out my blood sugars nicely. Weather's a bit rubbish today, but I'll try and get a walk in later, though the extreme housework I've been doing this morning has pr...

Heading back into the pit of despair (aka my bedroom) to complete the decluttering process. This was the last room in the house that was still full of crap (yesterday filled 4 bin bags and 3 recycling boxes!) and there's still a fair bit to do but it sure feels good to get rid of it all. This should...

Roasted pork tenderloin with Jersey Royals steamed veg and homemade onion gravy. Yum!

Thanks for the good wishes on Monday - I had a really good positive day. Occ Health and the Company Doctor agreed with my suggestions regarding another month off, but starting to kick off the Access To Work scheme this week and ordering new IT etc. and had a really good chat with my boss about what ...

I'm off to the Fun Factory for my monthly check in with the company Doctor. I'll have a meeting with my boss and spend the day walking around reminding people I'm still alive while I'm there!

Tonight hoping me mate comes round so we can do a tip run and my monthly Costco trip. Saturday - a few jobs round the house then off to Nottingham for a surprise 70th party for my friend's mum - which is a good excuse to catch up with loads of friends I've not seen in ages. Will be interesting to se...

I support Birmingham city. We won 2 games at home all season. I really can't get worked up about England. I follow Villa (I don't go to matches so can't say I support them)...and I share your sentiments about England. That and I'm 44 now...so I've just been let down too many times to invest any emo...

Blood sugars were sky high (16.1) this evening, not helped by a trip to Loaf on my way back from hospital...so I went for a speedy (for me) walk - 2.52 miles in 40 minutes at an average of about 3.5mph. It had the desired effect and my sugars had dropped to normal (6.2) when I got back. I think it s...

You want to try doing it when your vision is dodgy - I'm like a one man Laurel and Hardy!

Just as well i'm planning on replacing all the carpets....

Nice one Cavetroll (y) Beermonster, there wa sa good article on the BBC news this morning about new glasses. You could look like a Star Trek extra by the end of the decade (giggle) Yeah I saw that - wouldn't really help me cos my problem is neural, so it's about transmitting the signal from the ret...

Oh FFS! Gutted for you mate.

Eyes haven't been great since the weekend so I'm back at the QE Hospital at lunchtime. I'll finish off the decorating in the hall, understairs storage and do some glossing before I go (just to keep my mind off it).

Party at mine.

Nice one!

Thanks Leigh! Knowing what you and Jane have been doing that means a lot. (y) Any time fella. Anyone who gets off their arse and works hard to sort something out deserves praise IMO. I'd come over and help if I could but the commute is a bitch :) Keep the Facebook updates coming :) Will do mate - i...

Yep, doing the whole house - I've been here 15 years and never so much as picked up a paintbrush before! I'm doing it to improve the environment - I love the house and the area and am not planning on moving - but the house had got into a right state over the years, and with my reduced vision I coul...

Stripping wallpaper, smoothing and prepping walls and sticking some base coat on. Maybe even get a second coat on this evening if possible. You doing the whole house then? It's defo a big job! You doing it to improve your environment or sell? Yep, doing the whole house - I've been here 15 years and...
