GD: anyone in need of testing supplies?

I have quite a bit of my GD testing stuff leftover and wanted to pass it along to someone if I can. I'm willing to give it away, if you'll pay shipping.

I've got: an Accu-Check Aviva plus monitor, 3 complete boxes of strips (50 ea) and 1 partial box. A multi-click pen with probably 10 drums left and almost 100 of the blue individual lancets & pen.

    @iamkerryanne - it says Accu-Check Aviva Plus. The box says you can use them with Accu-check aviva & accu-check aviva combo monitor. I'm going to say probably not...

    To answer the other questions - I tested fine in the hospital after she was born. I'm supposed to do a 2 hour follow up test (well, I was at 8 weeks PP) but I have skipped it twice. Once the lab didn't have my paperwork and after waiting an hour to start (starving and thirsty & needing to pump) I said screw it and left. The second time I ended up with a sick 3 year old and had to cancel at the last minute. I haven't rescheduled. Even though I should...
