Group 7-day waking average?

Morning my fellow bloodletters. My usual 6.8, pretty pleased with that as was out for dinner last night and my bolus was guesstimated. Had a cocktail, about 3 glasses of white wine, not as crisp and cold as I would have liked, a Diet Coke and finished off with 2 glasses of Prosecco! I’m absolutely fine, for someone who can go weeks without even a sniff of alcohol, I’m surprised. So far, hip and back ok, but I haven’t done anything except walk downstairs and wait for my breakfast to be served to me. Have a lovely, snowy/ frosty Saturday. 🙂
 
Morning all, a 7.3 for me today. Maybe I've cracked the lower numbers (for me anyway), I just need to get up at 4.30 every morning!!!
 
Good morning folks🙂

I woke up with 9.1. Touch of under bolussing I suppose. Still, at least I don’t have bother with breakfast🙂

It’s not so cold this morning, just a light frost. Lovely morning, may have a little trip out, for no real reason apart from annoying drivers😎

Anyway, it’s Superbowl LIII tomorrow so I’d better sleep in. Patriots v Rams. I hour of football, 2 hours of ad breaks and cheesy entertainment in the half time show. Only in America, we don’t do that sort of stuff in this country, it’s undignified. :confused:

Have a good day, everyone. If you live in the South, watch out for ice, specially if you’re walking, or you might end up in A&E in the scaphoid fracture queue🙂

G'day cobbers. 8.6 @ 7.48am but I was up at 5 just couldn't be bothered to start daily routine, just blah. I'm miserable coz I have to lose weight. :(
 
Good morning folks. Woke to 4.8.
Hope you all have a good day.
 
07:23 BS 7.9. Umm! A bit better than the last time I had pasta salad. It was meatballs pasta salad this time: it’s the amount of mayonaise in the combo with ketchup that causes me problems. I bolused too much upfront & ended up hypo at the 3 hour after mark so, had a couple of jelly babies. The fat in the mayonaise slows things down & keeps BS elevated for longer! Umm, I think I shall try a normal bolus dose the next time & then add a lttle bit to the midnight basal & see how that goes?🙄 I finished the last of the mayonaise & might just go back to using salad cream, like I used to! Never had problems with salad cream & know where I am with that. But, the new heinz mayonaise is VERY nice with a thicker, creamier texture where as, salad cream is runnier: mayonaise is usually to vinegary for me but, the heinz one is not!🙂

Just off to have breakfast! Still a bit nippy so, wrap up warm! Have an easy, lazy Sunday!😉
 
A very lazy Sunday morning, 6.5 today, could have slept all day but had to get up as was starvin’ Marvin! Full English for brunch, yummy! Cloudy today and we have reached the dizzy heights of 3 whole degrees. Might try a walk today, stir crazy after back and hip have kept me in all week. Enjoy the rest of your day. 🙂

It’ll be frozen to the ground so shouldn’t have been kicked about! Good luck!
 
Good morning 11.1😱 on a nice warm 12C day.🙂 Had carpets cleaned yesterday but couldn't get all the blood out but left me with a spray solution to apply everyday for a week which usually does the trick.🙄 Neuro/Physio team coming tomorrow to see how things are, should be fun.🙂

Hope you find your key @khskel, lost mine last year Fire Brigade had to climb through window.😳

Enjoy your Sunday folks and stay safe.🙂
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I woke with a score of 5.7, which is satisfactory.

My daughter went to Manchester Arena last evening to see Boyzone on their farewell tour. (I paid for the tickets, of course). To use a Northern expression, she was right made up, and in tears for half the show. I received a string of photos from the show, and it brought back memories. We took her to see Boyzone there when she was about 8. I remember being one of only two men in the gents. She tells me the show was attended by much the same folk, just twenty two years older, and with husbands in tow, rather than dads:D

Anyway, that’s me in the good books. Next up is The Red Hot Chilli Pipers in a few weeks. I will be going to that with offspring, at the Clitheroe Grand. Never been there before, but I suspect “Grand” is a bit optimistic. A guaranteed fantastic night.🙂

Have a good day everyone. It’s lovely and sunny here, bit chilly but never mind. At least when I go down into the village this morning the frozen petites pois won’t defrost on the trip back:D
 
Dgood morning. Frost and snow cleared but still cold. Woke to 10.7 but had some Doritos at night with half glass of rose. Rest in the bin as an opened bag is a devil waiting to egg me on to scoff.
Have a good day all

Mike, I was told that performers like the Grand at Clitheroe because the guy in charge had the bright idea of building in a top end PA/recording system into the theatre and apparently it is not unusual for live performances for "live" albums to be recorded there. You should be in for a good night.

I see you are from the Ribble Valley. Know it well.....
 
@KARNAK I read a very interesting article on the internet recently about the many uses of WD40, which was named for what it does: water displacement & the 40th. formula tried before it worked.

I had a lot of trouble recently with my front door lock & the key not working properly when I tried to get back in after going out. I sprayed a lot of WD40 but, eventually found that I just needed to pull the lock towards me as the door frame is not quite in line with the door due to old age & swelling of the wooden door.

Among one of the many things that users have posted about, on the internet, that WD40 has been used for is getting tough stains out that are otherwise impossible to remove. Things like candle wax, nail polish, resins, varnishes & blood. Spray WD40 on the stain, leave it to soak in, then rinse it off with water. The water is displaced & along with it; the stain. I recently spilled a bit of nail polish on a dress when painting my nails & the last time I did this ruined the dress as the nail polish remover took a patch of dye away from the dress as well. I tried WD40 on it this time & although it took more sprays & rinses that I expected, got the nail polish out of the dress without getting any dye out too. Mind you I had to wash the dress in the washing machine a few times before I got the smell of WD40 out of the dress! AND I saved the dress!

Edited to add:-* Here's the link to the article about the uses of WD40 I read. It's quite a long article to read though!

I’ve just remembered. My daughter’s tickets cost around £45. The capacity of Manchester Arena is 21,000. Assuming some higher priced tickets, that’s over a million quid. That should sort out Boyzone’s pensions with a nationwide tour.:D
 
Good morning. It’s 6.2 this morning
