Group 7-day waking average?

Double figures for me after being a scary carol at bedtime. 3.0 so definitely over treated. Been really busy and new furniture arrives for bedroom today. Rest of house upside down have a good day all
 
I did my usual early morning wee, and found myself on 4.1. With a slight downward straight line overnight. Couple of Dextro tabs brought that up to 6.0 at 9.15. After a vape and waiting for the CBD oil to unlock my legs, got out of bed for the caffeine fix, checked my level - 2.9. (BG 3.3).:confused:

Whoopee🙂 Two chocolate digestives with my two shot espresso.🙂

Don’t know where all that came from, probably the gentle caress of the Diabetes Fairy. 🙄

Anyway, nothing to do today apart from paying a couple of bills and relocating rubbish and recycling to the bin store, and interrogating a few lowlifes in an Inn in Witcher 3. That’s Monday disposed of. Well, not completely- tonight I will be cooking herb and garlic meatballs with a tomato sauce, and serving that with Napolina’s new green pea flour pasta. Less than half the carbs of regular pasta, and more protein. It’s green, not surprisingly, but they do a chick pea flour pasta that is the usual colour.🙂

Have a good day everyone. Hope Eggy survives bottoming the house without injury🙂
 
oh dear 7.0 this morning 8.3 2 hours later :(

I always like my house tidy before I leave for a holiday, back before frost free was a thing, I always defrosted my freezer as well! Because we’re going away for 4/5 or even 6 weeks I want it sparkling! It’s bad enough doing all the washing and ironing when you come back without having to do housework as well. Funny tale for you. Neighbours of ours went travelling for 6 months and another neighbour had the spare key. One day the holidaying neighbours’ alarm was ringing, spare key neighbour nipped over and to her horror found drawers open and clothes strewn everywhere in the bedroom! It turns out they had left it like that! I don’t want to be that neighbour, hence the bottoming! @mikeyB no eggys were hurt in today’s bottoming session! 😉

Thanks eggyg 🙂 I've never heard the expression bottoming the house before, it sounds like the Ironman of Spring cleaning 🙂

I wonder if it’s just a northern expression? I always start at the top and work my way down, which I suppose is why it’s called bottoming. My mother’s most oft said expression ( and mine now) was “ I’m going to bottom this house if it’s the last thing I do!” I always said I wouldn’t say or do the same things as my mother did but hey, it’s genetic! 🙂
PS I eventually found this explanation! It also has another meaning, apparently! 😳

It definitely did, I’m so naive sometimes. I do have a frost free freezer now, that was back in the day ( well last year, not long had it, best thing ever).

My Nan and mum used to say this. I have recently bottomed my house but horror of horrors didn’t manage to wash the floors and am now away and know I have to do this when I get home as well as doing a changeover st our caravan when I get back aaargh!!!!
 
Another early bird. 8.2! Absolutely nothing to do with the slab of chocolate birthday cake I had last night of course. 🙄 A day in the garden pulling up weeds, bottomed the upstairs of the house yesterday so having a day outdoors. Well, the garden needs bottoming too! Have a grand day all. 🙂
 
Morning good peeps.🙂 6.9 on the Libre.😛

The sun’s shining so it’s shorts for the dog walk this morning. We’ve got to flash a bit of leg to top up our vitamin D levels apparently! 🙄😎
 
Morning all, 7.8 here. Silly me, I should have known that I'd only need a reduced basal for three days, after which normal service would be resumed! It wasn’t even Dawn's fault, I was a nice steady slight incline all night.
 
Good morning and another wet one. BG in 11’s this morning after poor food choices, pushing and shoving new furniture and unpacking it. Shed full
Of packing material. Hypo at 0030. Very stubborn and 2.5. Possibly worst I have ever had...still slept well in my new bed
