Group 7-day waking average?

eggyg said:
Not long been up, had my biannual lie in! I was shattered yesterday, in bed at 9.30, up at 9.05 today! It’s cos I’m nearly 60 obviously! Anyhoo, talking of being 60, I got a spot on 6.0! Bet I don’t get that tomorrow. It’s the last day of my 50s today so I’m going to do something really exciting. Hmmm....give me a minute until I think of something. Still thinking.......😉

It is good to get some practice in before the big day.
I love the moment when I wake up and don’t have to get up.
It is still a moment of joy even after quite a few years.
 
good sunday morning all my reading for today is 7.0 hope you all have a good safe day
 
Good morning peeps - early doors for me, not been sleeping well these days.
Been watching all the episodes of Spooks on BBC Iplayer. Now nearly finished season 8. Loved it then, ahead of it's time, and still is.

Anyway, 4.7 today.

Enjoy your
 
5.6, but did eat pizza last night. Been awake since Steve left for work at 4.30am this morning, still really down, and now getting angry with myself that I am letting one persons stupid remarks on Facebook get to me and knock me down, even though it happened on Friday, it is still upsetting me now, I know I am being over sensitive and need to get past this as the on,y person suffering is me.

Have as good Sunday as you can everyone, love to you all as you really are the best.

Grannylorraine asked me the other day here to suggest a soap kinder on the skin if I could, I did message her as I wasn't sure I was comfortable posting my OCD struggles for all to see especially if newbies checked in as many (even my own family) think I'm just being stupid and am a freak but as we are all struggling I will share, to give an idea of how bad my OCD currently is, a 100g bar of soap is lasting me at most 3 days, just last week my hands were bright red, split, feeling like they were on fire that bad I wanted to cry, I treated myself to some Dove soap bars and now my hands are by far much better, no longer bright red, split or on fire, skin on wrists is still a bit pink but they are healing beautifully, Dove is 1/4 moisturising and it really does make a difference so if you can grab some and give it a go

Kaylz, no one is going to judge you on here. Thank you for your help I now have some on order. I think lots of us have OCD to some extent, but we refer to them as habits or quirks. I have an issue with odd numbers, I like everything to be an even amount, and have to find a way to deal with odd numbers, as I have 3 children, but made my peace with that as I had 2 pregnancies, so an even number, when making cakes I have to make an even number of cakes, even if I know one is not going to be used and goes in the freezer.

Hope you are doing ok, one day I am going to come to Scotland to see you. I actually wish I could meet everyone one here that is so supportive, but unfortunately I don't think that is possible.
 
4.3 this Sunday morning. 🙂
My fingernails seem to be growing at an unusually fast rate. 😱
It seems like only yesterday that I trimmed them.
Is this some sort of time warp? 🙄
OR just me being preoccupied with other things.

Stay safe and well (and trim those nails if they need it!)

Morning

Bruce popped to Lidl yesterday so picked up shopping for me too and dropped it off, I got antibacterial surface wipes! Asked for 1 jar of peanut butter but he’d got me one as well, how lovely

My mixing mate from England text to let me know he’d got me 4 packs Moser Roth 85% and he’ll be posting them this week

My dad is apparently popping through with the supplies his GF got me today as well

Anyways 5.9 for me

Thanks @Grannylorraine guess I still remember being bullied at high school because of my OCD and my own mum just tells me I'm being bloody stupid 🙄

@MeeTooTeeTwo I've had the finger nail problem since I was put on insulin (dont know if it's the insulin or that my bg is under control now) but I have to cut them at least once a week these days!

Have a chilled day my lovelies
Xx
 
Morning all. Been up since 5.30, 6.8. Out for a sunrise walk on this beautiful and special day. Back at 7 and a 7.8 on the Richter scale! Certainly was dawn phenomenon today. Mr Eggy now cooking me a birthday breakfast. Will be a different day that’s for sure but it will still be enjoyable and I’ll have lots more. Have a lovely and safe Sunday. 🙂
 
@eggyg I'm so sorry. I was remembering when I went to bed last night that I must remember and wish you a happy birthday when I logged in and posted but completely went out of my head with my long post! 😱 so I do apologise! But Happy Birthday I hope you have a lovely day and Mr Eggy spoils you rotten! :D xx
 
6.9 this morning
Couldn't think why it was so high - until I found the plate with the biscuit crumbs on it still next to my chair!
 
Morning all and 4.9 or 5.2 depending on which waking you count. Go on I'll claim an HS.

In normal times I'd be firing up the Mini and out for a tootle but hey ho gardening it is.

Had a few song idea swaps with the first singer I worked with yesterday which was very nice.

Welcome to the prescription exemption card not required @eggyg

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, 7.6 today. My face is slightly swollen and my gum hurts so wondering if I have an infection again in my gum, may have to ring the dentist tomorrow and see what they suggest,sometimes it flares up and then goes down again, I’ll get the cordosyl out (horrible stuff). Beautiful morning here and so quiet. Cleaned all the window frames and windows downstairs yesterday and did the ironing and had my walk on the treadmill, life doesn’t get much more exciting at the moment.
@eggyg wishing you a very happy birthday, glad you managed to get a lovely walk in, sounds wonderful where you live.
@Grannylorraine whatever it is someone has said on Facebook try and put it behind you they simply are not worth it
@Kaylz your honesty is good about your OCD, there’s not one of us on here who has a perfect life I’m sure and we know you do your very best to overcome it. I have to have things exactly where I put them and if someone moves anything even a fraction I have to go and move it back, I’m the same at work. It takes me a few minutes to change things around when I go in as I share with one other person and of course they move things, that’s a no no for me haha.
Take good care all no matter what your foibles are xx
