Group 7-day waking average?

07:07 BS 5.2.:D Yay!😛 The elusive House Special!😎 Yesterday’s highest BS was 7.5!🙂

I’ve had an absolutely BRILLIANT weekend!😛:D And, I’ll tell you why; just realised that I’ve finally paid off my credit card debt that’s taken me 10 years to pay off! I won a prize draw of plane tickets to any European city from a high street store, Virgin Megastore in 2008. I went to Milan, hotel bill wasn’t too bad but, I visited the famous quadrangle, of streets, where all the reknown designers are! I maxed out my credit card buying a set of matching handbag & purse/wallet at Salvatore Ferragamo! I mean when would I, if EVER, do that again! Little did I know, then, that it would take me 10 years to pay it off!🙄:( What with the economic downturn & one of the first things that people reduce is the luxuries of eating & drinking out! My family’s restaurant went through a very tough couple of years before throwing in the towel & selling in 2010. I’ve been retired since then & slowly paid £50 per month & lost track of the slowly, seemingly TOO SLOW, dwindling amount each month! Then I got my bank statement & this month it was less! So, I finally checked the credit card website to check my balance, can’t remember when I last did THAT, & was gobsmacked to find it was zero!😱🙂😛:D NOW, there’ll will £50 extra per month without that credit card debt! 😛😎

I felt VERY emotional about it & a burden has been lifted!:D

Have a WONDERFUL day everyone & the start of a GREAT week!:D

Morning all, 4.7 here. Too misty to see the lunar eclipse here, too.

Wasn’t up to look, but can see reddish sky in the distance.

Good morning 🙂 6.3 for me today 🙂 Can't see the Moon, unfortunately, will try again in 2029 🙄

Drat!:( Missed it! But, I HAVE seen a super moon lunar eclipse once before & the moon was MASSIVE, compared to normal, & very red during the total phase! It just seemed to hover just over the horizon for hours: heightening both the way our brain, & eyes, percieve the size of things & the redness because of the extra amount of atmosphere the light goes through!🙄 It looked 10 times bigger than usual!😱😎

That’s great Lanny. I felt same when I cleared mine off the finished my mortgage. Easy to spend and not so easy to clear. Well done
 
Morning all, 8.9 for me today. Had chilly and frosty out there today. Might just stay in and do some Route 66 planning.

Congratulations on the House Special! 🙂 And great news that you have paid off the card! 🙂
 
Hi all. 9.0 for me but felt a bit otherwise as had a hypo at IKEA which was a wee bit stubborn. Freezing here, a real white out. Thermals to drag out again
 
Good morning gang🙂

Bit of a shambles this morning, woke on 10.2, so a bit of insulin to start the day. Aching everywhere, managed a just in time wee, then a desperate vape, then a desperate Americano.

Now I’m normal. Isn’t life fun:D

Anyway, my next door mate Eduardo, who hails from Colombia, knocked on the door to tell me that his wife Cathy, who has been giving the HA a harder time than I have, has had a phone call to to say that the lift people have the replacement part and will be here later today. Presumably that will restore the lift to normal, i.e. breaking down all the time.:confused:

It’s cold and very foggy here in the Valley. Local microclimate due to the River Calder, wending its way to the mighty Ribble. It’s too cold to stand out front to appreciate the quiet of the lorries not thundering along the A59 heading to the wilds of Yorkshire, Northiewards.

Have a good day, everyone. Wrap up warm🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 7.0 for me today, which I'll take after having to treat a 2.3 last night which (thankfully!) woke me two hours after going to bed 😱 That's not supposed to happen when it's 8 hours after your last injection and you don't use basal insulin :( Three jelly babies and a Wispa seemed an appropriate remedy... 😱 🙂 I was 7.3 before bed, so dropped 5 mmol/l in that two hours. That Fairy is in for a good punt over the roof of my bungalow! 😱
 
Good morning. 8.3 for me.
