Live frickin Ceefax!

I remember actually using Ceefax for news and weather updates!

 

But Teletext was the go to if you wanted to look for overpriced cruises I seem to recall.

 

Finally found a dentist I’m rather comfortable with, I need lots of work done including lots of implants, and that work comes at the price of £380 an hour, they actually make your new teeth while you are in the waiting room.

but my journey to perfect teeth has begun!

 

Project log?

 

Game reviews and cheats !

Wow man, I used to spend hours on there!

 

Now I wasn't too sure whether to post this in here or in the ruining thread as there are a bit of both in there, but I think overall it is a positive.

I have just had my diabetes meds changed (again...) and have gone onto a once weekly injection of something called Trulicity as well as getting rid of the hated gliclazide pills. The ruining bit is that I now see why the Trulicity injection and others in the same dulaglutide family are sometimes referred to as a "chemical gastric band"... I can now only eat about half of what I used to a couple of weeks ago, if that. Anything more and I start to feel really sick. Something that is apparently a known effect and just something that comes along with the territory. I am now down to a couple of cereal bars in the morning, a 2 slice sandwich at lunch (if I feel up to it) and a small dinner at night, I just really don't want anything else.

The good side to all this is that I seem to have lost half a stone in the week and a half since starting this and my blood sugars are down into levels that I have not seen for years. I just need to get used to the drastic reduction in diet, and being so used to eating a certain amount for years, this is not easy.

 

That's PTSD for you.

I'm about to enter the world of inguinal hernias myself. It's been manageable and pain-free, and I've been busy, but I have to accept the fact I'm going to need to speak to a doctor about diagnosis and treatment in the near future.



Edit: wrong thread but I'm leaving it here.

 

your legs must have gone to sleep several times over if took you that long...

 

Wasn't there a company who designed toilets for workplaces that were deliberately uncomfortable to use?

 

Pretty sure that we have a couple of seats at work based on that idea. The rounding over the sides of the seat is a lot more pointed than flat and gets very uncomfortable very quickly.

 

Just come back off a solo 2 night road trip to the Lake District on my motorbike. Spent two nights at YHA Helvellyn. Was slinging it down all day yesterday but I still got out for a walk. Beaut weather for the return trip today though. Done over 300 miles and loved every minute of it, but can't wait to hit my own pit later

 

About twelve hours until I meet my partner #8

We've known each other for a bit under year and a half. She brought up the idea of meeting, I rolled with it, here we go! Cardiff vs Brighton

 

I'm heading up to the lakes for five days on Monday

 

The Lakes are still lovely in the rain.

I think I actually prefer them like that

 

I'm going on mine tomorrow lmao. Ah well, I think I will just eat lots

 

RGB *all* the things.
