How lovely to have you back, Shopps. I have missed you, please stay. I can imagine your pride at his parade, he sounds something special then & obviously is now. What a birth date, it's such a moving time of the year & even the weather appears to be quieter at that time in November. It was my 60th last Saturday, I ended up in the local Urgent Care Centre & was given massive anti biotics, on my way home I had my nose pierced (love it) & then on Tuesday my younger daughter was rushed in for emergency surgery so I'm looking after her & baby granddaughter. Bit of a week all round, so you see I need you back on here, with those who also like a giggle, because the Dyson thingy is about to be launched & your comments are required.
Yes Shopper, please do stay. No harm stepping outside the door but I say always keep one foot in it!

I dearly hope a cure is found for diabetes shopper. I’ve been first contact carer for newly diagnosed children in my primary school. My best wishes to you all.
Thanks Liam, that's very kind xx :mysmilie_3:
yeah it's like he's having to press the reset button and start all over again, what he can and can't eat or drink.
He’ll get there. Steve Redgrave, the multi Olympian rower, was diagnosed at 35.
Thanks T x .... what a terrible week you've had, I know how you feel my youngest son at thirty has just been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes can't get over it, for weeks he was feeling thirsty, kept getting up through the night for a wee, lost weight and his vision went blurry, turns out he's type 1 so he's spent the week trying to adjust, and get used to taking his blood sugar levels and injecting himself four times a day, he knows we're all here for him as your family are for you daughter, hope you're both ok now......and hey how cool does that nose piercing sound! We're definitely sisters from another mister.
Sending you hugs xxx

I am so sorry to hear about your son. No wonder you have not been around on here much. (Until a few days ago, I had hardly been on the forum myself since July so I'm sorry I didn't spot your absence sooner.)
You sound like a very close and loving family and you always speak so fondly of your boys. I'm sure with some "shopper care", your son will soon be leading a very normal life again.

I've only just got home & this is the first time I logged on today. I'm so sorry to read your news, that is a really big adjustment for anyone to make & it's something that affects the rest of the family as well. My nephew was diagnosed when he was 13 & the specialist said being sensible was the best approach, he grew up pretty quickly after that & 17 years on he's managing his condition & living life to the full. It's just so difficult when it's your baby who's going through something rotten & them being being married with children of their own doesn't make any difference, does it? So chuffed that you're back, going off to find some star nose studs online.
:star: White gold, 6mm & a bargain on eBay!Thanks T, I'm glad your nephew is coping well, sounds like a strong lovely young man. You're right though, they're always your baby no matter how old and it cuts right through you to see them suffering. Years ago I seriously thought about getting me nose done but never got round to it, hope you've found your little star nose stud, that sounds absolutely lovely. :mysmilie_3:
Interesting article and that`s why I only ever buy my stuff directly from the BL own website.
