My new bt youview box and bt entertainment channels, much better than I expected

That's wonderful dilli that you were able to get out from the hospital today to go to your blind group today.

Just bought a Canon 70D with 18-135 lens (as noted in another thread).

My nephew is moving from Canon to another job at the end of the month, so before he left, he got me the above with employee discount - 40% off retail is not to be sniffed at...

Nice camera and discount, is it on Ebay yet

**Hugh** · 25-07-2014, 10:35

Nah - I've been promising myself a decent camera for ages, and when my nephew offered me this option, it seemed rude not to....

I'd been worried that my diabetes had got a bit out of control, and typical male buried my head in the sand. However, GP sent me for blood test last week as nearly a year since had them done, and even though my HBa1c is still high (90 or 10.2), this is down from last year by 20. Last result was 110 or 12.2 so even though it is still over the normal it is at least making progress in the right way.

GP is one of those encouraging ones, he is happy with small improvements as long as they are improvements which this is. I'm quite pleased with this, as it also allays any fears about diabetes causing trouble. Now, question is do I celebrate this result without screwing up the good work?

I have had a very stressful few weeks.

My mum has been losing weight (not through choice), she thought it might be her stomach ulcer coming back.

So she had a ultrasonic scan, and the Dr said he could see a mass on her pancreas, and of course I was thinking the worse "Steve Jobs came to my mind and if his cash could help him, what change do we have".

She then had a camera down the throat at a private hospital through the NHS, yesterday the guy who done the procedure told her the outcome of it.

While there she mentioned the "Mass" he said it more like a small swelling and its nothing to worry about.

So as you can imagine a huge weight has been lifted, and we can know look forward to our upcoming holiday.

I guess the word "Mass" is a technical term for swelling.

l am glad your Mum is alright Hom3r as its terrible when things are up in the air and we don't know one way or the other about our loved ones.

Just heard that our neighbours insurance is sending out a loss adjuster to do a site visit. I do not know if this is good thing or not as our insurance never sent out a loss adjuster to us, our insurance just requested that we get a tree report done on neighbours trees and forward it along with the boundary survey that states that one of their trees is mainly growing on our land and others straddle over the boundary. The report was forwarded to their insurance stating that the trees need to be removed for the safety both buildings now and in the future. I wonder if this is why the neighbours insurance is sending out a loss adjuster for a site visit. I hope this gets sorted soon as neighbours loss adjuster now has both the tree report and boundary survey for when they do their site visit. The tree report stated many other factors as it was 7 pages long. Fingers crossed we hear a reply soon, just so happy that now both insurances are involved just don't understand loss adjuster site visit when our insurance never sent one.
