Group 7-day waking average?

6.2 this morning, but a slightly higher carb intake yesterday and sciatic type pain came on in the night, but tried to avoid using painkillers as we don't have many paracetamol in the house at the moment. Managed to lay so the pain in the leg and hip eased, that caused a pain under my ribs (definitely muscular), decided to get up as when standing all the pain goes away.

@Michael12421 sorry for your loss.

@Kaylz totally understand why your OCD is much worse, my anxiety is through the roof.

Have a good Saturday everyone, I am going to do some housework to fill the hours once hubby goes to work.
 
Good morning folks . 5.3
I got round to sorting out a large kitchen cupboard yesterday , I’d been meaning to do this for a very long time and well I am ashamed , I just hope the dustman who picks up my food caddy next week has a good strong back.

Good morning everyone 2.7
Day 7 of almost total lockdown. Roadblocks. Is your journey really necessary? All those jobs that you put off for another day have now been done. Oh. wait a minute. in another 3 days I'll be able to turn the calendar to April. The anticipation and excitement is almost unbearable.
 
5.1 this am. 🙂 another 0.1 on the wrong side of that magic number. 🙄
Yes indeed @Ljc "spring forward fall back".
Mind you I don't have any clocks anymore that require adjusting - only the microwave and the central heating. The latter being a real bugger to remember how to do.😱
Stay safe and well.

5.6 this morning - slightly higher than it has been, but maybe because I had a day-off from exercise.
Not a good idea as I ended up feeling low all day.
-Then a long video call with my family, which cheered me up again. They seem to be coping so well, and I think are enjoying having more time for each other - sharing chores, and actually sitting down for a meal together instead of everybody dashing around in all directions.
 
Morning. Hope everyone is ok as they can be. Looking forward to a walk later. Starting to see the same people in the same place at the same time each day !

6.2 today.
Had a great time exchanging emails with my form group yesterday and Thursday and a few amusing phone calls. Certainly cheered me up.
Have a good day.
 
Good morning 6.7 on another fine sunny day,🙂 more of trying to keep busy no problem at the moment but won`t last long.🙄

Having a hard time @Kaylz {{{HUGS}}}.

Keep safe folks if you get bored Skype Bo Jo he`s looking for people to talk to, take care. 🙂

Hehe! I don't bother with the microwave as I discovered early on after buying it that it is awful at keeping accurate time so it's not worth it 🙂 As for central heating, I have never adjusted it - when I moved into the house in May 2018 there was no manual with it, and it is the first house I have lived in with proper, functioning central heating - dare not touch it! 😱 I did find out how I could override and switch it on for an hour though, so all is good 🙂

LOL @Northerner - same here really. My microwave gains or loses up to 10 minutes a week. With the CH I don't use timed heating - just the 1 hour boost, if and when I need it.

Stay safe and well

I wish I had a manual for my cooker which is built in and in the flat when I got it. Not got a clue how to use it. I bung things in and hope for the best. It's a fan oven.

7.3 @ 7.41am for me. I'm eating quite healthily apart from too much bread and Ryvitas. I need to curb this addiction. I went bonkers in Tesco and can hardly shut the fridge for fresh veg and fruit so now I feel I will have to eat it all with Mum as I can't bear waste. I've already made an inroad on the sprouts and salad. 🙂

Yes, I did that, but if I'm honest I didn't take a lot of time studying it 😱 🙂

When we got our new boiler and that the clock thing was put in the lobby and it's factory set meaning you cant change the time at all on it, it switches back and forward when the clocks change but you cant touch the minutes, its about 8 minutes slow! 😱 xx
