Group 7-day waking average?

@Grannylorraine may I ask firstly which soap you are currently using?
At the moment I'm using Lacura glycerin stuff you get from Aldi's only and then I'll be onto a Superdrug one but unfortunately they discontinued it just after I bought it last week but the Aldi stuff does me well
Xx
 
@ColinUK sorry to hear your news.

6.4 today. Had a lovely call from the DSN at the hospital (was supppaed to have appointment today but had email 3-4 weeks ago saying they’d ring us at appointment time) who was very pleased with my libre readings - is it just me or is anyone else amazed with technology and that the hospital can look at our readings and suggest things .......and even praise us ! Bless them they’re working hard

Have a good day

LOL. Anybody remember Prince Andrew?! And what about Mr Motivator? He's on a roll isn't he? I like him. It's an ill wind...

A 9 for me. Pathetic. I'm pathetic. My step-dad was right when he told me at 14 that I would eat myself to death. The rotten old B. I'm gutted to prove him right. Why can't I be organised and sensible like y'all? :( I had 3 margy toasts with two boiled eggs at midnight but if Mum hadn't said she was hungry (we read till late) I wouldn't have succumbed. I'm so suggestible. :(

Totally agree with @Grannylorraine . I too am eating badly at the moment, can’t seem to get my act in gear, we are living in unusual times, think we need to be kind to ourselves. Your dad was wrong, you are a lovely person, always kind and caring and honest as the day is long and we all love you for it. You take good care of yourself because we do too x

Morning fellow cell mates, it’s a 6.6 for me. This is my 5th week in exile and cabin fever is setting in. Are we there yet? 🙄

Not yet Amigo but we will get there soon. As long as we are all in one piece we will have done well x

This really upsets me .. why are people so horrible
 
@ColinUK sorry to hear, it does happen I'm afraid but I guess you don't really want to hear that.

I guess your main thoughts might be, how am I going to manage? what do I do now? and I must make sure that I look after my health and wellbeing.

Take care and keep us posted as it is so easy to withdraw at times like this.

Believe you me we aren’t all paragons of virtue! Food is a big comforter for lots of us. It’s yummy and makes us feel good when we feel low. Never apologise to us. Take care. X

@ColinUK - so sorry to hear this.

5.1 for me today as I had a much better day carb wise yesterday and did another 3 mile back garden run, and knocked 5 mins off of Monday's run time. Will almost be at my normal pace soon, however my back garden is almost flat and no waiting to cross roads factored in, so not a true reflection, but taking into account how many many times I am turning around, it might even itself out. As it is so boring running around and around I don't think I could do a long distance, so going to try on working on speed, especially as I am only seconds from the sofa if I feel I have pushed too hard.

@Kaylz - can you recommend a good hand cream please, my hands are so cracked and sore, it is hurting to type on my keyboard, I am using my normal Neutrogena, Norwegian Formula one regularly throughout the day, but it is doing nothing.

Do you know anyone who does Tropic? Not sure if it can be just bought online. They do a hand cream in a green tube. Think it’s called hand food. It’s quite pricy at £12 I think. But is very good to put on before bed with some cotton gloves on. It smells good too. I’m using Sanctuary Velvety hand cream, thats really good too. I’m digging out all those Christmas/birthday presents I’ve never used. Good old Nivea too. Nothing lasts long unfortunately when you’re washing your hands all the time.
 
Well, that’s a first. Last on yesterday and first on today. A reverse of when I was young. First at a party and last to leave. Ahh, those were the days! Anyhoo, I digress. A Len Goodman today. SEVEN! To be expected, as Mr Eggy made rhubarb crumble, our own rhubarb, and homemade custard last night and forced me to eat it! I just can’t say no to that man! 😉 TBF. I felt dreadful afterwards, definitely can’t tolerate that amount of carbs anymore.
TGIF, not really, as a retiree everyday was the same even before lockdown. I only know what day it is as it is on the left hand corner of my iPad. Have a “ good” day.🙂
 
Morning all,
5.7 this morning...
I am getting a bit worried that I am quite often 'first' on here !
What does that say about my life 🙂
Anyway completed a 1000 piece jigsaw which has taken me a week.
Bought it in a Charity shop a few days before lockdown... who knew.
It's called Christmas 2000 and was mainly blue and black with lit up bits - a bit like doing the one that's all baked beans.
Oh and there was no picture apart from a little one on the side.
It turned out to be just under a metre long!
Now considering who to give it to as punnishment !

Have a good day all,
Blessings Snowwy

You sneaked on while I was writing the epistle 😱
Gotta love it!
 
Good morning all, today's reading for me is a 5.6 so another one in the 5's range I'm doing well this week. Hope you all have the best day possible and stay safe and well

I’ve never been a good sleeper even as a child. I like getting up early whereas my hubby would sleep until lunchtime if I let him. In the spring and summer, I just love to sit and watch and listen to the birds. I’m certainly not flying around doing housework or anything strenuous whilst Mr Eggy slumbers. Then I’ll come on here, or FB and maybe read my book. I have breakfast about an hour after I get up. It’s my time, a bit of peace before the world arises. PS I hate jigsaws, I don’t have the patience, I get all cross when I can’t find a piece and give up just like a petulant child!
 
Good morning all. Up since two with insomnia due to stupid eating so I can't even be bothered to measure as it'll be dire.

I quite fancy doing a jigsaw not that I'm very good at them and haven't done one since that time I was halfway through and my mother came in gungho about her new boyfriend (she was in her 50s) and put her shopping bag down on my jigsaw and went home with half the pieces stuck to the bottom of her bag I found out later. Good grief. If I'd known we were going into lockdown I'd have borrowed a few boxes from the library, they have a really good selection. I miss the library!
 
Morning everyone from a bright, sunny but windy Brighton. Going to take advantage of the early morning shopping at Sainsbury’s as went yesterday and the queue was ridiculous so came home, non essential travel came to mind. Great response again last night for the clapping, I had my saucepan and spoon ready, boy it was definitely noisy, great to hear everyone though.
6.9 for me today which is a shame as I was better with my food choices yesterday. I managed to paint the shed, sideways painting rather than up and down on the fence was much better for me. Still had to have a sleep afterwards, can’t imagine what my next HbA1c is going to be. May power wash the back patio today if it stays nice, my neighbours will love me 😳😳 .
@Grannylorraine i use Sainsbury’s body lotion with CA and E vitamin, it is cheap but seems very good, even my husband has been using it and his hands are normally like sandpaper.
Take care all, stay safe xx
 
4.4 this morning. 🙂

I'm up earlier than usual today, as I want to take an early stroll before the Madding Crowd gets going. 🙄

Stay safe and well.
