My wife is a nightmare for it, she’ll always go, often twice. She should get her prostate checked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bladder that weak at my age doesn’t bode well. Do you feel thirsty at night too? Needing to pee during the night especially if accompanied by feeling thirsty is a sign of diabetes. I blamed my weak bladder for years before I was diagnosed. Had to pee pretty much every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I wouldn’t say being thirsty is something I’ve particularly noticed but something I’ll look out for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Lloyds pharmacy do a free type 2 diabetes test, just have to book and turn up (probably much easier than seeing a gp). https://lloydspharmacy.com/pages/type-2-diabetes-testing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted December 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2021 I applied for 2 jobs in the last 3 weeks and got them both. I'm 50 next month so well pleased. I took the job at a small up and coming Swedish furniture company, 14 mins by train, total travel is 20 mins door to door. (In office, data analysis. Not the person who comes up with the names as I told my mates / parents) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My end plan if possible is to move to Perth one day. If I can do that via work then all the better. I have 2 kids / 2 grandkids there so I can move there if I want too from what I understand of the requirements. The weather there has been a bit warm over xmas I understand ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather there has been a bit warm over xmas I understand ? It sure has been. My brother lives there and it's been 40°c plus for the last 5 days. I went out there in late January one year and it was a scorcher. I do laugh, however when he puts on a jumper cos it's a chilly 24°c in winter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 The 40"c only lasted 3 days but to be fair after that we did have 3 days of 38"c to 39"c also to explain what really happens here in Perth is that Febuary is the hottest month of the year with temperatures usually going from 33"c to 38"c you get the odd 40"c day/days but that is the exception rather than the rule.The 40"c plus this december was the first time in history that we had 40"c plus in december according to the news.As for winter,its usually sunny with temp from 14c to 24c.You can plan a picnin for any day of the year here because even in winter its rare for the rain to last all day,usually its something like 1 hour of rain followed by 2/3 hours of sunshine.

PussEKatt Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Tell you what though,when we do get the first 2/3 rains of winter I often sit out in the pergola and enjoy it.After a couple of months with blue skies and sunshine you get sick of it and look foreward to the rain,so I enjoy the first 2/3 showers then I am sick of winter and crave the sun again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
