It's the previous one that Kev got right Gloria. The question about The railway hut is unanswered as yet!

I've been glued to the Spine Race since it began last weekend. John did remarkably well didn't he? He finished just after 9am this morning. Jasmin is being interviewed on Woman's Hour this morning.

A look at who is behind this report.

Happy Birthday Sue, hope you have a good day despite your cold!

Great photo, 2 peas in a pod. :smile: Local fell runner John Boothman going well in the Montane Spine Race along the Pennine Way. He has just checked in and out of the Tan Hill Inn looking fresh and full of running! That's the half way point, but he is facing Cross Fell in the dark later on today. Y...

Let's hope it's your stress levels that are causing the high figures Maz and that they will reduce once you can get back to your normal housekeeping routines ...... imagining all that untouched dust upstairs must be sending your metabolism Crazy!!

I was trying to keep from commenting Kev, pleased that you have.
Metformin has a very small effect on blood glucose levels Maz. Do your levels stay high all day or is it just early morning?

We always keep a good stock of toilet rolls!

It looks as if we are expecting some extremely cold conditions by the end of the month with the possibility of major snowfalls. I'm preparing to be snowed in! We have a full oil tank and a pile of logs so we will be warm. It's always the animals that are a worry, so I'm trying to stock up on food an...

I couldn't help but think about the runners on the Montane Spine Race last night. They run the full length of the Pennine Way non stop. Last night the leaders came through Lothersdale and over Pinhaw in the wind and rain....

I can remember when the waiting list for a meal at the Olive Tree was like putting your child's name down for a top public school! I shall be considering woodwork.... I need to make a carriage for the bow chaser. Into the drawing office I think. You are thinking of the Box Tree in Ilkley Stanley, T...

I'm thinking of you Maz even if I'm not saying much! I have no experience to draw on.

Fooled me for a bit Cathy but I think Stanley must be referring to Andy Murray who seems to have pushed his body too hard to stay at the top of his game.

I'm off to Ilkley to have lunch with a group of people I was at school with. Col's going to take me into Skipton and I will make use of my bus pass to get to Ilkley. We are eating at a Turkish restaurant called The Olive Branch and there are loads of low carb options on the menu!

Well said Tiz, appalling reporting taking the opportunity to attack low carb eating. The original article in the Lancet only spoke about fibre. We get plenty fibre from green veg, berries, nuts and seeds and even dark chocolate. I've just watched the BBC news report suggesting getting your 30gms fro...

Olive or cherry stoner.

Good news that you are safely home Maz, take it easy.

Highly unlikely that it was a coincidence, especially as the caller referred to the form on the website!!

Oh yes.

Col was looking for annuity rates online yesterday and went on an annuity advice website. Within 2 minutes of entering his name and email address the phone rang and an "advisor" was on the line. He hadn't provided a phone number and nothing had come up automatically on the screen, so that info was h...

It looks like a well used bowling ball.

Oh dear Maz, that sounds awful. I was wondering where you were. I hope you get sorted as quickly as possible.

Welcome to the site Harrisa, there is a lot of Harrison information on here so it's worth using the search button! Local libraries are good places to start.

We took advice on pensions a few years ago and because two out of the three have guaranteed annuity rates we were told they couldn't be bettered and to leave them where they were. Good advice! Colin only worked for Ferranti for 3 years but the annual pension will be nearly £4000 a year and the same ...

Today I shall be studying our financial situation. Col reaches 65 at the end of the month and decisions are having to be made about various small pension pots from places he worked at many years ago. Our only income since he gave up work has been my state pension and a small personal pension which h...
