I note that half our street have their bin bags out. They obviously didn't read the notice that came through the door before Xmas, saying it will be Thursday this week. Happens every year.
1 of ours are still getting done today, only bin that's changed is the food waste as it's every Thursday but they are being done Saturday these 2 weeks, your lucky you got a note though, they didn't put anything in ours this year! xx
🙄 my dad's birthday is the 28th which means as it's the last Friday of the month he'll get paid and be through that Sunday, must remember to get him something, I usually have time between his birthday and him actually coming through! Be sure to check your calendar if you still use them, apparently "millions" of calendars and diaries have been printed with the WRONG May bank holiday! 😱 xx
Morning all, 6.8 today but just ate bits and bobs yesterday, wasn’t in the mood for eating. Tonight will be one of trying to calm down a shivering shaking panting dribbling staffie, hate fireworks. Have a very good evening if you are doing something special and a Happy New Year to you all x
7.3 and feeling rubbish, I think min,undue to the rubbish I ate when daughter was here yesterday, went for last run of 2019 last night. 9am Wednesday will be first run of 2020.
Good morning people on this chilly first day of January 2020.
Have just tested and my meter has delivered all the 1's ~ 11.1. Gobsmacked to say the least ~ I wasn't expecting that coz moi here didn't go overboard with the carbs last night. Darn that DF she should have stayed in her cubby hole or wherever she lurks before pouncing on us!!! I hope y'all have better luck than me with your waking numbers.
I wish everyone a happy healthy & successful 2020.

4.8 down to 4.2 by breakfast, absolutely no idea what is going on but we'll see how the next few days go and think about reducing Tresiba, really could do without this oddity 3 weeks before my review 🙄
Hope you all have a lovely day whatever you are doing
xx
5.4 for me this new year's day.
"Out with the old and in with the new" - so I changed my lancet.
Wishing everybody a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. 🙂
Happy New Year everyone. A whopping, and uncalled for, 9.4! Was an unexplained 10.6 before bed at 1am. The DF has also been here @wirralass. I toasted in the New Year with no more than a small bowl of salted peanuts and a glass of Adam’s Ale. Man flu not helping the situation. Have a lovely day whatever you decide to do. I am going to try and have a little walk. Fingers crossed I won’t suffer any consequences. Getting fed up with being an “invalid” now.
Morning all wishing everyone a happy New Year. An odd 10.2 this morning. No idea why. One glass of wine and ‘normal’ tea.
I’m on nephew watch (8 and 6). For the 1st time ever they woke up at 8.04...... impressive as they usually rise very early - about 530/600. ‘Baby’ sister (3 just) , mummy and daddy and uncle still sleeping...... after she was sick at 4am which took 4 adults to sort out.
5.4 for me the new year.

Morning all, 5.8 here, still on a slightly higher basal, but levels seem to be settling, apart from after the slice of Christmas cake yesterday, but I can’t blame that on the damaged ribs. (The whole family is enjoying the irony that I've bought a rib of beef for our new year’s day meal.)
Good morning folks and a Happy new year to you all .
I am pleased my sensor has pulled up its little socks 🙂.
I went to bed at 4ish on 8.8 and woke to a not unexpected 9.3 at 09 30 . All down to that little drinkie to bring in the new year a few nuts, nibbles and a Tunnocks tea cake might have had something to do with it .
The said drinkie (whisky) was had in our families traditional way of welcoming in the new year. front and back doors wide open with us turning round three times in the street saying happy new near as many times as possible while imbibing , then watching the neighbours fireworks for a while oh and yes I forgot the money, but that’s put out the back door we may live in Kent but we’re Londoners lol
