Group 7-day waking average?

Well I have saved my readings up for a fortnight which is going to make it horribly apparent just how erratic they are....

Tue 3rd......4,7
Wed 4th.....4.1
Thu 5th......4.1
Fri 6th........2.8
Sat 7th......4.9
Sun 8th.....10.0
Mon 9th.....7.0
Tue 10th....4.7
Wed 11th...4.1
Thu 12th.....11.0
Fri 13th.......6.3
Sat 14th......7.4
Sun 15th.....3.9
Mon 16th.....3.1

Afraid I am still being totally erratic with my eating and sleeping patterns but maybe what I should do is see what I ate and when, on the good readings days and see if I can steer more towards those.

What I want to know is why 4.1 can't be the House Special and do I have some sort of aversion to getting 5s?

Congrats to @AJLang and @Anitram on your HSs.... Martin, you are really clocking them up at the moment. Sterling effort!
 
Morning all, a 6.7 for me today...
After yesterday's stir fry, thought it might be lower!
Perhaps I need to be 'shaken not stirred!'

Good daylight this morning,

Blessings Snowwy
 
Good morning. Yesterday I decided to play dumb (not very difficult) and ignore the lockdown but definately avoid contact with other people. Took my dogs out for three walks in a very remote part of the campo. Only saw two people. Village is deserted all we need now is tumbleweed rolling down the streets and a couple of horses and we could re-shoot High Noon!
Tomorrow I have a follow up appointment at the hospital in Ubeda but I will not go. The place is crammed full of people and I know from past experience that I will just be told that everything is fine and that I need no further appointment until September. Oh yes - my reading today is 2.7!
 
Good morning, wasnt sure I was going to post today as I'm feeling pretty low about everything but I will

Mum has no volunteering anytime soon as the charity shop has been shut until further notice, a lad at Bruce's work was sent home before Bruce got to work yesterday to self isolate, he offered not to come round but my thinking now is if I get it I get it, I don't want to be scared and be cut off from Bruce completely, it's bad enough all I want is a cuddle and I cant even get that, I've had a thumping headache for nearly a week now and dont even know if I can take paracetamol so I'm going to call the chemist and ask to speak to the pharmacist this morning and then hopefully be able to find some paracetamol if I can take them

I'm going to cancel my dentist appointment on Friday but I dont see the point as I have to get the bus to the next town next Tuesday to go and sign on as I bet I wouldn't have a leg to stand on if I called and explained everything :(

Anyway 5.9 for me and I'm going to wrap up on the sofa and feel sorry for myself and I wont be the only one

Have a nice day folks and try and stay sane, I know I'm finding it difficult
Xx
 
House special for me which is good after being a bit high yesterday morning. Working from home has its benefits more time walking the dog ! I was so excited at getting a 5.2 this morning my husband thought we had won the lottery . Hope everyone is keeping safe and well in x
 
Morning all. A 7 for me today. Sorry I’m not being my usual humorous self but I’m afraid yesterday’s news, although not unexpected, has hit me for six as I’m sure it has others. I know it’s for the best and we will be adhering to the rules although it means no physical contact with the family, no sixtieth birthday celebrations or subsequent holiday next month. At least we have a big garden and it’ll be the tidiest garden around and obviously we can still go walking, we live semi rurally so not a lot of chances of bumping into large crowds. I ticked two boxes on the list, diabetes obviously and spleen problems, ie I don’t have one. But the main thing is Mr Eggy and his complex heart condition. We just can’t chance anything, so we’ll put up and shut up and FaceTime our friends and family and wave at them through the windows when they drop our shopping off on the front door step. At least we have a large family who can help unlike some folks. Every cloud.....
 
Morning all. 7.0 @ 5.51am for me. Over to the supermarket where it threw me to see empty shelves, not a toilet roll and only a few kitchen rolls and tissues. Are they saying now we should all stay in being Diabetic? I heard 12 weeks mentioned. I'm trying to look after Mum and son, no way I can stay in.

Kaylz there's a website for DWP stuff, if you have to stay in I don't think you have to sign on. It's on here if you scroll down.

Thanks my lovely, it doesn't mention anything about JSA, I'll just have to phone later on today, just another call to add to the ever growing list, just want it all to be over and done with now xx
 
Morning All, I'm a little late taking my reading and it is a 7.2 for me today
 
5.4 this morning. 🙂
Yesterday the nice Sainsbo's delivery lady explained to me why people are panic buying loo paper. :D
Apparently its because the inner cardboard tubes are made in China and people want to buy up old stocks before new supplies of virus contaminated ones arrive here. 🙄
She may be onto something there. o_O
That could also explain the disappearing pasta from the shelves. 😛
But panicking pasta purchasers should be be aware that not all pasta is made in Italy. o_O

Stay safe everyone.

I saw that posted somewhere last week and it isn't true at all -

"According to the UK tissue sector, the UK has a tissue market of about 1.25 million tonnes. Of this, 1.1 million tonnes are imported, either in the form of raw materials (woodpulps or parent reels) or directly as tissue products. About 60 per cent of these materials come from the EU and only about 2.25 per cent from China."

and they cant catch it from a new toilet roll even if it were the case xx

Mind you rice comes from China and that has been picked clean from the shelves.

Morning all. Reporting a 5.1 this morning.
I am now ‘isolating’ as much as I can. The headteacher spoke to me on the phone this morning and has instructed me to stay away from work for now due to pregnancy and diabetes with the new guidelines. I am relieved to be honest. I sill
Be working from home but can go at my own pace on full pay until maternity starts.

Our eldest is at Uni and was fretting a bit yesterday as there are some students in self-isolation. Term ends in two weeks and then he's home for a month but I think the Uni will tell students they can finish earlier if they want. Normally that would incur a penalty.

Stay safe, everyone.

I am a lecturer at a University Martin, and we just yesterday went to "online teaching only" for the rest of the semester. I suspect all Universities will be doing this by the end of the week, if not fully closing. Most Universities have been doing the right thing, not least because the students have voted with their feet. Surprisingly we had an almost full turnout to an open day event last weekend, which was sheer madness.

A lot of Universities are waiting on public health england to make decisions, so this is a really strange situation where the government is saying "stay open" and the students are saying "we aren't coming in" and Universities are balancing themselves somewhere in the middle right now.

So my first day of work-from-home was a 5.7 (my usual am score).
 
Morning all. 🙂 3.8 here.

My uni’s functioning on virtual reality until after the Easter break, but hubby’s gone off to college today and my Welsh class is on too - not sure whether to go, tbh. Hey ho, new normal here we go.:(

Be careful , I have friend whose daughter is on holiday near Alicante, she went to go out on the beach, and was escorted back to her villa by the police at gunpoint. In fairness the beach was taped off.
 
8.4 for me, did have a Medjool Date before bed as I went to bed at 10:15 with 4.1. As the news rolled in last night after work I contacted my manager at the charity I work for and have been advised to stay at home, a mixture of relief and shock but understandable in the circumstances. The one thing that bothers me is seeing my mom and dad, I really enjoy meeting with them and spending a weekend day in their company - they are good friends to me, I hope with the distancing ideas I'll be able to be in their company and can visit from a distance for a 30 minute catch up. Luckily, they have a rather large garden so it'll be OK to do this.
