Spent the day driving around today, hours drive to the customers pick up his trailer hours drive to coppards to pick up the stump grinder hour back, grind the stump down 2 feet then an hour back to coppards, hour back to drop of the trailer then an hour home, and he complains that I've charged traveling time. Well I'm not picking it up for free cheeky bugger

Hi i have had type 1 diabetes since i was 14, 22 now and find climbing trees one of the best things to do, I find i hardly have to inject anything all day for what I'm eating while at work. Usually make the mistake of eating something big on the way home and not injecting before eating so its back up by the time i get home. I also try to keep some none melting sweets in my pocket for up the tree just incase. But agree with the fruit juice, seems to keep you going. I try to aim for my sugar levels to be around 10 before i start as doesn't take to long for them to start getting low.

Customer has a privet hedge with honey fungus and is we have dug out the infected ones but with there still being roots left in it will be a matter of time before it spreads. Question is what can she replant with which doesn't have a glossy leaf and is not prone to honey fungus??
