Group 7-day waking average?

Bloomin' Tescos website has been playing up yesterday and today. Can't get to book a delivery 😡
Thought they would have had it fixed by now as was yesterday morning I first read about the issues with their site and app xx
 
5.3 this morning. 🙂

Oh well, and the good news is got notified yesterday that we're getting £200 Winter Fuel payment.
Every little helps (as Tesco might say if you could get on to their site.)

Great news on the Winter Fuel Payment. We are really worried about where fuel prices are going to end up.
 
A right Mediterranean flat bread?
Right funny guy but that's more commonly spotted with double t is it not? So 😛! xx
 
Continuing the funny cartoon theme from yesterday, here's one for today, a bit rude don't want to offend any pc people on here......crack_of_Dawn.jpg
 
Little Miss Slugabed reporting in late this morning after I DID stay up for Strictly & managed to vote! 10:01 BS 7.2 🙂

Really annoying that I spent ALL day yesterday trying to get onto the tesco website to change my order, coming today 13:00 to 14:00 IF it comes?, to tomorrow & take out quite a lot of ready meals for fresh meat & fish: feeling better now & feel like cooking; stayed in the 5’s flr most of yesterday, apart from meals, & started to reduce LR again so, a bit higher reading today! 😡 A bit extreme but, I AM still frustrated as tesco website is STILL not up yet so, I don’t actually know IF the shopping will come today? Regardless, I have enough food for today & can order from asda if this tesco shopping dose not come?o_O Maybe that one for frustration? But, it doesn’t really fit!🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
A massive 8.4 for me this morning, but I had a bad night when I had a melt down about the results from the biopsy that I haven't even had yet, it is going to be done at the same time as my op on Weds. Covid test done at the drive through centre this morning so no going out now. Supposed to be starting the chocolate cake for our Halloween party to go in the freeze in case I don't feel well enough to do it on Friday, but just not feeling like baking which I usually love.

@Gwynn - hope you enjoy the party.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all. 4.8 for me. Haven't posted lately as i've been struggling with things mentally and physically, D was just an added stress on top. Anyway, its half term and i'm aiming to rest in between the things i have to do.
I read through all the posts. Congrats to those who had HSs.
@ColinUK your breakfast looks delicious.
@Lanny i'm loving Strictly this year, some excellent dancers.
Have a good day everyone.
 
Happy Sunday
I like @Telemóveis am late for the party, but so what Sunday is the Lord’s day of rest, pardon the pun.
A 7.2 here today. After a day of checking and finding results in target area.
Oh well I’d better put the chicken in the oven and at least it won’t be looking at me every time I open the fridge.
If we are not supposed to snack at night, why is there a light in the fridge?
Have a great day

Well! The tesco shopping DID come & I have another week of mostly ready meals as I couldn’t change anything! Delivery driver says the computer experts are STILL trying to fix the crash all across the UK & they were able to deliver confirmed online orers but, WE, the customers, just couldn’t change ANYTHING! So, no need for asda for tomorrow, then! I may get sick of the ready meals mid week, though & get some fresh meat & fish to cook as I’m not as under the weather anymore? 🙄 & :D with a drop of sweat over one eye for a Phew! emoji! I’m almost out of tesco Evening Primrose Oil capsules & I’m REALLY glad I got those: I buy 3x 90 every 9 months with their 3 for 2 offer; asda do them too but, they’re not quite the same! I REALLY hate not having them as it doesn’t take long for me to feel the lack of them as the neuropathy tingles flare up!🙄

Well as it was originally written in the proto-Sinaic form so wouldn’t have been spelt with either but since when am I going to pass up the chance of a pun when I see one?!

OMG! I’m so offended! Mainly by the odd placement of the shadows in the cartoon. Where on earth is the lighting source to cast shadows like that?!
 
On a lighter note...

We had a great day. Lovely party.

But

Of course the food was not for a T2 diabetic. I shovelled in 150g chocolate fudge cake, 4 small vegan 'sausage' rolls, 2 bread sticks. I guess about 98g carbohydrates. 2.5 hours later, back at home, BG 5.1

5.1 !!! I am stunned by that. At first I thought that the meter was reading 51 as I was expecting a high figure, but no, on closer inspection, 5.1

yesss

Nice to be home again. Just had a small tuna salad for tea.

A good day.
 
Been thinking about joining in for a while and reading all the posts. That picture of the pudding with "Find the Toenail" made me laugh and reminded me of a true story. Years ago when we had a restaurant I used to cook on Sundays in high season to give chef a day off. I bribed him to come in on August Bank Holiday Sunday and said I would do all the prep for him. Whilst I was chopping leeks my hand with the very sharp knife, slipped and I chopped the end of my finger off... not enough for them to sew back on, but enough, with a long red nail attached. Hubby dropped everything and took me to hospital as it was bleeding copiously. Chef walked into a deserted hotel and just got on with things. When we reappeared we told him what happened and I said "did you find the bit of finger?" He said not. I said, "where are the leeks".... he'd cooked them.... we never did find it.

Anyway, nice flat line all night and 5.8 this morning when I woke at 8:15.
