Group 7-day waking average?

Wonderful 8.3 for me this morning, can’t quite seem to make ‘normal’ since my chemo schedule was changed to 2 weeks of treatment and 1 week off. I negotiated 2 treatment weeks and 2 weeks off over the summer and managed my diabetes much better. Unfortunately the cancer had a bit of a party too, so hey ho, chemo is my first drug of choice, insulin a close second!
Have a great day everyone xx

Speaking of which, I'm pretty mad & feel let down by Tesco this year concerning Christmas week deliveries! This year all the slots went already to those with pre paid delivery plans & by the time I, without a pre paid plan, could order my usual 22/12 date on 02/12 they were all booked up: waited up on 01/12 till the clock ticked over to midnight! I suspected that'll be the case too for the later dates too so, booked the latest date I could before Christmas, 17/12. So, BIG shop today today to last me until 27/12 after Christmas! Grrr! I'll have to freeze & defrost my stuffed pork roast! My instincts were right when 03/12 came around & I could book for 23/12 all the slots were gone too! I'll have to buy a pre paid delivery plan next year for Christmas period & cancel it afterwards!😡
@wirralass!😛 Thanks!🙂

Not quite sunny on the inside but, getting there! Wishing you all brightness, if not sunshine, on the inside where it counts regardless of the weather on the outside!🙂

Oh I know the feeling. I’ve never smoked, drank alcohol, or even seen drugs. My sole ‘treat’ is the online shop at Waitrose. They don’t hold slots back, you can book any time. The Christmas slots, which are the only time you can get a turkey etc delivered, went the end of SEPTEMBER!😡
 
Morning all.🙂 7.0 for me.:D

Getting the ferry to Spain on Friday, so lots to do this week. Job no.1 is clean inside the car - it’s filthy!😱😛
 
Morning all, 6.4 here. Doing my last big supermarket shop today, then it’ll be the local co-op for fresh stuff and the butcher's for the goose til after the rush. I had to take OH to the hospital in Banbury a couple of years ago, to return a heart monitor, on Christmas Eve. I couldn’t get to the hospital entrance, I sat in a queue of traffic for half an hour with people waiting for spaces in the Sainsbury’s car park next door. OH got out of the car, walked the final few hundred yards to the hospital, dropped off the monopitor, came back out, and i was still only a few yards further up in the queue, so we managed to pull a U turn and escape back the way we’d come.
Edit, Luckily OH could do the walk, just read your post @Flower. Good luck!
 
10.1 this morning. 5.2 before bed last night and slept all night. Have a good day all. My bathroom is calling for a Xmas clean today.

I negotiated with Santa a few years ago, and he doesn’t care how clean the house is but he likes a wee glass of something warming..... and a bit of shortbread

Morning all. I was at 9.3 when I got up this morning at 3am! Did I mention I'm starting work at 4am this week?! I must be mad. But I'm enjoying it.

Morning all. This time next week it’ll be Christmas Eve! Exciting! Still in Strictly mode today, it’s a SEVEN, knew yesterday was a fluke. Today is a kitchen day, mince pies to make, I hate them but like to have some in for visitors. Going to have a go at making a Christmas Pudding parfait, think I watch too much Masterchef. Crustless quiche Elaine for our tea, and a cottage pie for tomorrow’s. Need to do all this today as tomorrow my sink and worktop is coming out so Mr Eggy can fit the new one. Nearly there, thank blooming goodness. I have been very tolerant up to now but getting a bit impatient with it all. It will be lovely when it’s all finished and he has done an amazing job but I don’t know where anything is and the house is like a workshop! Have a wonderful Christmassy day. I’ve finished my shopping, all wrapped as well. 🙄

I am picking my goose up on Christmas Eve, going to go about 7 when the butchers opens, then head to Tesco for last minute stuff. Hope to be home for 9 am, I must be mad! o_O

Have a lovely time, life’s too short for cleaning cars but needs must sometimes!
 
Morning all 6.5 for me this morn 😱 . Not happy with my BG lately , its been creeping up regardless of my diet . I have had a very stressful 6 mnths and I'm wondering if anyone knows would this have contributed to my rising BG ? Its easy to blame anything on stress but I really don't know what else could be doing it . I haven't been having much structured exercise as in walking but I have been really busy anyway so I'm at a loss unless it is because of the worry . Help !:(
 
A waking 6.4 which is better than the few higher morning ones I’ve had through this lergy episode. Still rough and half way through the second course of antibiotics but seems to be turning the corner.
Just as well, I need to do the Christmas grocery shop and for some reason there’s a seize mentality in the shops for the carb fest.
Naively I thought I could order them in but from reports above, they’d come about Feb! 🙄
 
Good morning, I did get up early, honest :D.
These sensors don’t seem to like too much of the red stuff clogging there innards, lots of LOs and 2.somethings when I was absolutely fine. Today it is showing signs of improvement.
Woke to 7.9 on the finger, all my own fault too.
