Group 7-day waking average?

Managed to get on after all so good morning folks 🙂

Congratulations @Northerner 🙂

Thanks @Bloden me too! I'm hoping Bruce will be kind enough to put my curtain pole up for my new curtains as there isn't a chance I'm getting on and off a step with this ankle! lol, bad enough I've got stairs to tackle a few times today

6.4 for me this morning scan and blood, think its first time this sensors been bang on and it runs out on Thursday 🙄 got an hour before I'll need to go out to wait on the bus to go to the hospital to see the DSN so another coffee will be had, need it as its 1C outside and the frost is thick

Have a nice day folks and be careful if your venturing out today
xx
 
Good morning everyone. 8.0 today. I didn't bolus for my small dinner last night because I couldn't cope with a possible hypo after reading an unexpected letter that I received from my Dad. When I read it last night it said that he wants no further contact with me.
I am so sorry to hear this . I can’t begin to imagine how much this has hurt you.
TC XXX.
 
Morning all, another very chilly one, brother coming to visit today which should be nice. 8.6 after beef stew and dumplings, just can’t resist those dumplings.
@AJLang so very sorry to read this, there are some things in life we simply cannot change and as @eggy says we have to let them go. I hope you have lots of love and support around you who appreciate you for who you are. xx
 
Thank you very much everyone. EggyG you are exactly right. I think that after the initial shock having no contact with Dad will be a relief. Thank you SueEK yes I'm very lucky with the love and support that I have around me. Two of my closest friends have been there through all of the problems with Dad, including when he left us nearly homeless when I was a teenager. I also have other wonderful friends who are always there for me. Mark is my rock and as you say EggyG he's my family and my neice's Mum is also there for me. Plus of course all of you lovely people on this forum.
 
Good morning folks. Had a shortbread finger , yes I managed to only eat one :D for a pre bed 3.8 and woke to
4.8 with a nice flatfish.
Think I’ll try another half unit reduction in basal.

By mistake I bought some cherry Coke Zero, I tried some yesterday, it’s vile.

I put an order in for my meds on 05/11/19 . phoned the chemist yesterday to find out where they were, we will get the. today, this is the third month this has happened , they don’t get put in the area for delivery , the other thing that happens often is, no note for the delivery driver that their is a prescription item in the fridge, so I don’t get my insulin I do make sure I have some spare meds for both of us

Take care everyone an£ kerosene warm.
 
As the old song says, “What a difference a day makes”. 🙂
Its 10 degrees warmer than yester morning, but it still feels bloomin’ cold. 😱

Reporting a 4.7 today.

I think my iPad has been at the bottle, or at least it’s auto correct has:D I’ve altered three of its erm, attempts in my last but one post and just spotted another which I am leaving in . I wonder what it’s going to do to this one lol

Congratulations on your HS @Northerner

Stay well folks and take care on the icey pavements & roads.

I'll kerosene warm :D I think it was you/your ipad that originally came up with the rather apt 'flatfish' :D
 
Morning all.

I think a lot of my plants will have had it, they're looking very glassy some of 'em.

Gosh I'm cold. I've the heating on full blast, I just can't bear it.

7.8 @ 5.30am for me. Not bad considering. LJC I bought mango diet coke by mistake agh, hideous.

AJ Lang there's just no point worrying about it. You can't make people want you. It's their loss. I've lost count of the times in my life when Mum's rejected me and yet who's here at the end looking after her? I must want my bumps testing. (((hugs)))

Hi Amanda, that must have been a shock, and I know it will be very hard for you, but you do get used to it, mine is slightly different as it was my son, who 3 years ago decided he didn't want any contact with any of his family, us, his siblings, his grandparents, his children, cut ties with us all. Yes I still miss him, especially as today is his birthday. But the main thing is you will still always be there if you dad needs you, just the same as I am for my son, if I heard something had happened to my son I would drop everything and go to him, if he didn't want to see me or accept my help that would be his decision. I am just sorry that he is doing this to you after everything you have been through in the last few years.
 
Good morning 8.3 forgot my overnight Basal,🙄 fell over twice yesterday, once coming out of the supermarket and again on the walk home.😡 Bruises everywhere right hand looks as it has been through a shredder,😳 laundry all done and dried new duvet cover and sheets on the bed very poash indeed.🙂 I trade on the stock market, gold and US oil made 2000 euros yesterday at least the tax man will be happy, if ever.😎

Congratulations on HS @Northerner.🙂

Good luck at the pump clinic @Flower.😉

We are all here for you Amanda plus your immediate family, take care lovely.🙂

Look after that ankle @Kaylz, rest up when you can, a smile just for you and Bubbles.🙂

Well said @eggyg, @SueEK and @Grannylorraine.

Have a good day folks, stay warm and safe its 15.C outside at the moment. The next springs daffodils have shown through, climate change or what.🙂
 
Morning folks, just a quick visit.🙂

4.7 for me this morning, not a worry. Had a custard cream with the morning lump of double espresso. Went down into the village yesterday afternoon - gae cold, caused my BG to plummet when I got back. Burning up internal fuel to keep warm. Frosty this morning too - the fields are still covered with frost, despite the sunshine. 21degrees indoors, which is where I’m staying🙄

Had a phone call this morning from the Walton Centre in Liverpool. That’s a flagship neurosurgery/neurology unit at the Fazackerly Hospital in Scouseland, not far from Aintree racecourse. Got an appointment on December 12, which is nice. Might actually get a diagnosis. It will be interesting if there are any med students around, see if they can get all the possible diagnoses. One is bound to say tertiary syphilis, I’d put money on it.:D

That’s a week or so before my new granddaughter gets extracted through the tradesman’s entrance.🙄 I like baby girls, they don’t pee in your face when you change the nappies.🙂

Anyway, I’ll keep you informed of any progress, and whether I can confidently renew my Rovers season ticket.:confused:

By the way, Amanda, a few years back I had a phone call telling me that my mother in law had popped her clogs. I told Mrs B, who just said “Good”. You can pick your mates, but you can’t pick your relatives.
