You can buy a meter on ebay for about £5. It's worth keeping an eye on. Also dropping sugar levels can be an indication of an underlying problem. Coffee and cigarettes artifically raise the sugar levels in the blood, so your body produces too much insulin which obviously takes too much sugar out of your blood leaving you feeling tired, unable to sleep, lack of concentration etc. An easy test would be trying a few pieces of chocolate before you go to bed - if you sleep better then you know it may be a problem with sugar levels. They don't treat it in this country as such, they suggest the GI diet if it's really a problem. I know all this simply because when I was ill for so long my body used up all it's natural store of sugar (something that begins with G - forgotten the technical name!!) so I had to keep my sugar levels under control on a more temporary basis until I recovered.
Well I take Kalms if it's getting really bad - just lately wisdom related. But how about hot chocolate or warm milk and cookies? Not being able to sleep is a classic problem in males in their 40's - got something to do with hormone levels. Lavender oil, can't stand the stuff myself, is also good - put a few drops in the corner of you pillow case before you go to bed. But what always works for my kids is if I tell them to tidy up their bedrooms - I'll go up a little while later and they'd be fast asleep and it doesn't matter what time of the day it is! Sometimes if our sugar levels are low - ie consumption of alcohol on a regular basis (alcohol destroys the sugar in your blood!) then just having something sensible like a cheese sandwich or ordinary glass of milk will raise it sufficiently to sleep! First five minutes of a consultation are free after that I charge in kind!
typical! - too late! - I've waited hours and just made it myself - fancy a cookie? But wouldn't say no to breakfast in bed!!! There'd be no need for me to get up till lunch time then!
In each of my waking moments I will treasure the thought of you My sleeping moments are spent wishing my dreams would come true For our souls know one another even though our bodies haven't met And spending eternity with you is not something I would regret Because a love like ours is there forever deep inside my heart And although we have not met yet our souls have never been apart.
Just bribed one of my prison guards, sorry children, into doing the washing - now I can concentrate on more important stuff like sun tan lotion and leg waxing.
at the moment I don't care what it's called, if it's got 4 walls and a roof I'd consider living in it - as long as i don't have to do all this washing! Where's my ticket? Please
You'd be waiting a long time as I'm asking for a one-way ticket because my kids have been arguing all day, got washing coming out of my ear-holes and I'm proof reading one of my books which I think I must have written with my eyes closed by the amount of typos! So a one-way ticket seems a good idea to me!
I've already booked one of your sun-drenched life-guards for that! Now let me think, what's a good job for Setfree? You could be in charge of finding and reserving the sun-loungers on the beach! Will you take payment in beer bottles?
Setfree, was hoping you'd interrupted especially to check how many tickets and let us know whether we have to pick them up from the airport or whether they're being delivered here by courier!
Do you want to carry baggage or be our manservant?
The choice is yours, Migene's got a wigwam so you can bunk in with him. I did say bunk in with him and not anything else!!!!
All I need to take with me is me, as long as the hotel's got a good clothes shop and it's including on the bill I'll be quite happy and if it hasn't then a new black dustbin bag will do - it's what I usually wear far cheaper than buying a pair of jeans - so you can leave your donkey at home!
I'll hold you to that I'm printing this bit out now so I've got it in writing!!! In that case I'll tie you up in the cargo bay, it'll be lovely and cool in there.
I think I've met some really nice people on here as well and I don't feel as alone as I used to - do you fancy joining our hermit thread - we're trying to entice someone into buying Me, Missy, Debs 1st class ticket to barbados or bahamas and then economy tickets for our man servants Migene & Englandz.
SORRY CHANGE OF PLAN COULD WE PLEASE HAVE THREE (3) FIRST CLASS TICKETS ALL INCLUSIVE AND TWO (2) ECONOMY CLASS FOR OUR MAN SERVANTS - IF THESE AREN'T AVAILABLE THEN THEY'D BE OK IN THE CARGO BAY!!
Yeah, I believe that!!! I can always cancel your ticket half way across the ocean - have you seen the james bond movies where the seat gets ejected from a plane!

I thought that was something to stop you getting baby computers and baby donkeys - oh, my brain hurts!
I think I'm becoming a hermit!!
No I won't - should I get the handcuffs out of the loft as well? Or should I tie you down when I draw blood from you?
