Group 7-day waking average?

Sure you can - just bring at least 20 deep-filled steak and kidney pies for rent.
Urgh, do I really have to be near kidney? Can't stand the stuff! lol but ok if I must 🙄 :D xx
 
I had forgotten that you did not like kidney.
Its fine, you'd be helping me so I guess it wouldn't be too much trouble haha, if I could bring myself to touch it I'd just bring a heap of ingredients and make you them myself! Used to make all sorts of pies at the weekends, my mum's the same can't touch it, prawns and can't stand whitebait due to the eyes, shame Bubbles loves the tuna and whitebait pouches I keep buying him lol xx
 
On a positive note I broke the 10 stone barrier yesterday.... 9st 13.9 according to the scales once I put new batteries in. I had to strip right down (beyond undies 😳) and visit the loo to get there but I didn't need to cut a chunk off my hair or visit the blood donors to manage it, so not totally desperate measures!
:D:D:D And here I thought I was the only one to weigh myself in my birthday suit: it makes a difference of about 1.5 to 2 kilos; up to 5 kilos with outdoor coat, hat, gloves & scarf on too when getting weighed at the hosp. diabetic checkup so, I always weigh myself in the morning at home & give them that & they factor it in! 🙄o_O:D

My mind was boggling at the thought of underwear weighing 1.5-2kg!!! 😱 That would be some scaffolding 😉 then I read on....phew! 🙄
 
Well that's the wet walls and the bath done, lads finished for the day with the labourers due later to clean up, heating is on and coffee being made as I type, only a few more days to go through this hell, fingers crossed we'll be ok after it all!

LOL :D yuck at kidneys, I'm with Kaylz. Good luck everyone with everything! Good grief, there's a lot going on.

I have had a disaster. Sisters' granddaughter Freya playing on my laptop now all 2020 pix have gone. Not into reclyingbox box, just gone, any advice? I might have asked y'all this before, I think I'm losing it. 7.3 @ 7.35am
 
He just came and 'fixed 'the central heating = €20. I just hope that at 7am it comes on. Wish me luck.
Wow! That is a good result. Can't imagine a tradesman here coming out for £20 let alone doing a repair for that! Is it on now? That is the important thing?
 
Hi folks guess who spent most of the day in Hospital and on buses?,
Covid test in two towns away from Paignton towards Dartmoor and me
in my shorts and T-shirt, had to nip into a Tesco superstore and buy a
woolly, lots of looks along the way but the nurses loved it.

I was very early and was all set for a long wait,10 minutes all done find
away to Torbay Hospital. 20 minute walk back to town one (Newton Abbot)
too early for Torbay so called in at Lidl and filled two shopping bags with
stuff I don`t need and walked to Torbay Hospital, managed to get past Helga
and Hattie Jacques into reception and was told you are very early, so I
explained that I`ve been for a Covid test.😱

She got her crucifix out and I had to lend her the garlic and disappeared
20 minutes later with her wooden stake at the ready said a nurse will be
coming to escort you to the Consultant and before she finished her sentence
said nurse was there. I knew the Consultant and when he looked at the
problem said you have an Endoscopy on Wednesday so I will need to see
the results and send a letter to your Dentist in the mean time sod off.o_O

A 4.0 this morning and didn`t move from that all day, enough said.
 
05:08 BS 4.7o_O Eek! Don’t like waking in the 4’s but, felt fine until now, walk to kitchen & back, when heart is JUST starting to pending hypo race a bit. But, munching on cold chicken & mushroom pie made with broccoli rice on top! Will bolus after to be on the safe side!🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Need more basal reductions, I think? 🙄
 
A 5.7 to kick off December.
 
Didn’t get online yesterday but was a 6.1. Today a more typical 5.7

@KARNAK Ted what have you done that you need an endoscopy for dental work?!

@Michael12421 How’s the heating this morning?

@Kaylz I adore whitebait! Lightly dusted and fried with a simple squeeze of lemon over the top and some delicious homemade mayonnaise please! I’m with you on the kidneys though.

@Lanny are you up to date with Discovery? I’m loving the new season! Oh and I wholeheartedly recommend My Octopus Teacher too. It’s quite remarkable.
 
7.2 for me today. Teams meeting today has been cancelled, hurray 🙂
@Kaylz hope all goes well today x
@eggyg maybe you need a referral to a dietician to help you with your new way of life, hope you’re ok x
Feel very sorry for anybody working in the shops that are going into administration, hope that’s none of our members :confused:
Have a good day all xx
 
I’ve forgotten to watch last Friday’s @ColinUK as I was distracted by my Birthday & will watch it today! I KNEW Michael wouldn’t stay as Saru’s no. 1 for long & go rogue eventually! 🙄

That’s a very interesting title & I’ll have a look at it: My Octopus Teacher? 🙄o_O
 
White rabbits!! (Can't post pics for some reason)
Oh and a HS to start the month. 🙂
Dez
 
Morning all,
A 6.1 again... must be in a DB rut!
A lot of excitement on the forum yesterday, hope today is calmer for some!
@Michael12421 did your heating come on?

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning all, 4.7 here and on the countdown to Christmas holidays. We are all ready for it i think. A constant round of teaching, cleaning,teaching, cleaning and soon to have the prep for Christmas, though i do enjoy that with the little ones.

My older daughter's birthday today. I don't feel old enough to have a 27 year old!! Have a good day folks x
 
Morning

6.2 for me

@ColinUK never tried whitebait myself but I'd quite happily cook it for you and try some myself

@SueEK thanks

Just trying to build some heat up before whoever turns up today, have a sore stomach so today is not going to be great and just hope I'll be ok!
xx
