I am posting this online because it is a level I struggled with for a long time.  I resorted to searching the internet to find a solution posted by some kind person, only to draw a blank.

Then, one evening, I cracked it.  So partly for a smug “I’ve done it” bragging rights, and partly to help anyone else struggling with it, here are the 2 touches required to complete this level…

Let me know if this has been useful!

 

I recently discovered that BBI Healthcare have changed the packaging of their Glucotabs tablets.  Whilst this might not be something to complain about on it’s own, they have also changed the formulation of the tablets themselves.

Apparantly the change (www.glucotabs.com) is that preservatives and colouring have been removed.  If that is all it has made a massive (& negative) change to the taste and texture of the tablets (in my humble opinion).  Not only that, but the new style tubes are not see through, so you have no idea how many tablets are left without opening the tube and taking them out.

I emailed one of my usual suppliers (www.medicalshop.co.uk) to ask if they had stock of the old ones still and they said they didn’t, but gave me the phone number of BBI Healthcare who make Glucotabs (0845 677 3349).

Apparantly BBI changed the formulation and the packaging without any prior warning (at least not to medicalshop).

On speaking to a very helpful girl in the BBI Customer Care team, it seems they have a small amount of stock of the old tablets left (20 or so of the tubes of 10 and 250 or so of the tubs of 50) which have an expiry date of 2013, so I quickly ordered some over the phone!

So fill your boots with stocks of the old style ones asap!

…..is something I suffer from since my surgery in May 2008, it hasn’t gone away (though it certainly isn’t quite as bad as it was back then).

I intend to write some more about this, but if anyone who stumbles upon this blog, can think of a better name/term for “Early Dumping Syndrome”, I would really love to hear it, it’s such a horrible expression/name, and I need to find another way to tell people I’m “dumping” if they ask if I’m alright!

Well, another long gap, but this post is brought to you courtesy of my new Blackberry Bold 9700! A device I can’t speak highly enough of, and I’ll write a review soon.

I’m hoping the Wordpress for Blackberry App will give me more opportunities to write, from more places - as now, I’m writing lying on the floor in my daughter’s room waiting for her to fall asleep. Bless her!

I’m just waiting for my lift to arrive to take me back to hospital to have my ambulatory EEG wires removed from my head, and I reckon this must be what hair extensions feel like!

Will write some more on this in due course, but it’s been quite easy and not at all uncomfortable, which is surprising when you think there are 21 wires on my head and 2 on my chest and I have a little battery/hard disk pack round my waist…..
