Group 7-day waking average?

6.1 this morning 🙂
I ran out of deodorant yesterday. 😡
I don't think that's classed as essential shopping. 😛
Mind you, if I have to stay indoors for a while, people will have no choice about keeping their distance from me! 😱

Stay safe and well.

That brought a welcome chuckle - phew not sure if I can smell you from here or if could be my dog lol x
 
7.4 today after a carb heavy day yesterday. I find when I’m a bit worried I turn to the carbs, need to control myself a bit better. Have a good day indoors or in the garden. Stay safe x
 
I’ve been neglecting texting and diet since moving house. Mainly it’s because my fridge is a massive 10l one and can barely hold anything. Cooking normal food, even buying it in normal quantities, is out of the question until I get the fridge freezer delivered (hopefully Thursday).
Combined with the Covid-19 stuff I’ve indulged whatever it was I want to eat and bread has crept back into my daily foods.

So I’m quite happy with a 5.3 this morning! And I’m going to test pre and post whatever the main meal is during a day until I’m back on track.

Most people comfort eat when stressed and there are complex reasons why we tend to go for carb’s when we do so don’t beat yourself up about it.
 
5.3 for me this morning.
Actually got an online delivery last night, and nearly everything I had ordered, including some packets of seeds - so off out to the garden to start some 'grow your own' stuff going
 
Morning all,
I did an early 'allowable' 7k walk this morning picking up a paper and a pint of milk. Very few folk out on foot, mainly runners and everybody giving each other space! Even local corner shop only allowing 2-3 people in at once. Not too much of a queue outside Aldi as I went past.

I did feel the need to rejoice in creation today as it is spectacular everywhere I look. Birds singing, two foxes camped across the railway line from us, and the blossom is amazing!!!

Oh nearly forgot 6.0 today

Blessings, Snowwy
 
Well I have had a very exciting morning - changed the ironing board cover - don't know why as I have no washing to iron and my oil supply is very low so very little hot water. E-mailed the supplier this morning asking if they were able to deliver but no reply as yet. If any of you or your friends have WhatsApp please be very careful. I have been told by an IT expert that several videos have been appearing one called Martinelli and the other Dance of the Pope - they both contain lethal viruses that will destroy your mobile. Also if you get a message asking you to update to WhatsApp Gold don't click on it - it does the same thing. Why some bar stewards will do this at such a trying time beggars belief.

Yes heard about this, came out in 2016 and appears to have reared its ugly head again. As you say, people have enough to focus on without negotiating the joys of other sorts of viruses!
On a positive note, I neglected to mention I got a tax rebate this month... a real one, not a fake scam that is also going around by text.
Thank you HMRC 🙂
 
6.4 for me today, but like @SueEK i turned to comfort food yesterday and ate some chocolate biscuits. Going to try and be good today, I did have a nice piece of salmon and salad for my tea last night.

Just getting through another day, hope you are all ok.

There is no Martinelli virus. There is no Dance of the Pope virus. These are hoaxes designed to spread fear.

5.8 is the score on the door today. Not so bad, but I fear with the lack of food at supermarkets and the isolating I might eventually have to dig into my carb stuff that I'd left in the cupboards. Hoping they don't destroy my BG control.
 
Thank you Colin - as if there was not enough fear about as it is! Probably the only way these people obtain a climax!

Some plumbers are only dealing with emergencies which are blocked toilets, no hot water, leaking taps and burst pipes, not sure if that's how my FIL is going to run things now, so as yours isn't actually broken if they are running that way then I'd expect a call, council have stopped all house repairs unless an absolute emergency up here as well xx

Well, he came, he fixed, he left, and I cleaned the doorbell afterwards! Luckily the boiler is in the utility room, with a door directly from outside, so we were able to keep our distance!
 
Good morning 7.5 on another glorious day,🙂 18.C on the outside wall just a slight sea breeze🙂. My neighbours are out on their balcony sunning them selves and clipping all the plants, keeping well within the new rules. Going to Lidl`s today this will allow me to get some shopping done and some exercise at the same time,🙂 although the beach looks a better bet but no straight to Lidl and straight back.🙄

Well back to paperwork before I nip out sounds like you are all doing reasonably well, take care stay safe. 🙂
 
Afternoon all. 7.6 for me. Went shopping this morning, very upbeat atmos, people jolly in masks. 🙂 That's it for us till next Tuesday, if we runs out we runs out!
 
Congrats to @AJLang and @tombrum on your House Specials. Sorry to hear yours didn't hang around long this morning Amanda but that is your second HS recently isn't it, so you aren't doing badly, especially considering the other issues you have which complicate things.

Hard to believe that things are in such a mess with the world particularly this morning when the sun was shining and the birds singing.... this whole situation just feels totally surreal and I am hoping that I will wake up soon and it will all be a silly dream.... just weird. It is also kind of reassuring that other creatures are going about their daily/seasonal lives, untouched by the drama that we are experiencing and the sun still shines and the plants still grow and the world turns!

My readings for the past week are

Tue 17th....... 3.9
Wed 18th.......5.3
Thu 19th........5.8
Fri 20th..........4.1
Sat 21st.........4.5
Sun 22nd.......2.9
Mon 23rd.......5.4
Tue 24th........3.0

I have had a few early morning hypos recently and I am guessing it is down to stopping my Preventer (steroid) inhaler. I am slowly adjusting my basal insulin down by a unit at each end of the day and hopefully I will have it sorted in a couple of days, but on the whole I am reasonably happy with those results..... I even got 3 in the 5s!
 
Hi All.

5.7 this morning.
After a week I’m missing my lovely tutor group ( They aren’t always lovely!) think I’ll email them all tomorrow see how they are. It’ll take awhile but it will be amusing the responses I’ll get back I’m sure

Tale care
