R.I.P.
I just replied to another thread that I started and will be pasting my last reply there here because it is applicable here.
Hi there, Im back again and feeling happy about all the mishaps I had before. Not really happy about the mishaps, rather the outcome.
Alk now sits at 2,8 milli eq and ph at 8,4. I always feel my colour comparisms are absolutely what they should not be and got my wife who is the artistic type to compare the sample colours to that of the test kit colour charts.
I must say again that the results are more or less at the correct levels but my knowledge and understanding levels still needs a lot of brushing up.
Thank you very much to all who gave advice and the much needed moral support.
