Group 7-day waking average?

I also wake early and once awake I have to get up, rarely go back to sleep. 3 mornings I get up at 5.30 for work. Go to bed about 10 though so don’t mind.
 
Morning all,
5.9 this morning
Contemplating a run at 7...

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning all. 5.7 pour moi. Up at the crack before the little ‘uns wake up. Want a bit peace TBF, exhausted.com! Don’t get me wrong, they’re good kids, just full of energy! Never stopped yesterday, in the garden all day, water fights, games of “ tennis” which needed refereeing. Ball pool balls everywhere but the ball pool, spent ages gathering them up last night! Another garden day today until they get picked up later this afternoon. No water fights though, I’m turning the hose pipe off, I want to put some washing out! What a spoilsport I am. 😉
Have a super Saturday whatever you’re up to. 🙂
 
Morning All,

Today's reading for me is a 5.3 and my weekly average is also 5.3
 
Another 5.5 for me this morning. That is by far my most frequent waking level.
 
I’m also on 5.3, the second dose of Humulin I does seem to have sorted out any overnight issues, I’m no longer thirsty and peeing for England, and sleeping a lot better.

Tuesday’s task is to ring and ask for fast acting, so I can eat more freely, I’m using my upcoming birthday as a bargaining chip, and a good dose of emotional blackmail as I’ll be well enough to actually celebrate it this year, rather than sleep through it. It’s a big deal, there’s 2 large boxes of crayfish for the party stashed in the freezer, and I WILL have a cake, dammit.

How old are the smalls, @eggyg? Would they paint stones and go geocaching or something? PYO strawberries? Our local one is doing a roaring trade this year, it’s the ideal outdoor socially distanced activity, they’re so popular they’re having to restrict opening and the number of people.

They’re 13,7 and 2. Big age gaps! Problem is we have a two seater sports car so no transport at the moment, we usually swap cars with daughter but hers is out of action and she’s using her ma in laws! We’ll take them down the river this morning before it gets too hot. It’s only minutes away and they all love walking and having adventures.
 
Congrats on the HS @Northerner . @eggyg i only had one to look after but was wiped out, my nana nap after he left yesterday turned into a nana sleep - 2 hours 🙄 Spent an hour and a half in the pool with him yesterday morning, extremely well co-ordinated in the pool, only 23 people so very good. Off for breakfast soon when hubby gets up.
7.2 today after a very naughty albeit very small pork pie last night, smacked hands!!!
 
Morning

Well the bruising is right coming out in Bruce's arm now, a lovely shade of yellow/green yesterday, he has a spare dressing and thinks it should be changed tomorrow, my mum can deal with that while I leave the room! lol

Anyways it's a 6 for me today, rather on the warm side already, hope it doesn't get too much warmer!

Have a lovely day folks
xx
 
Morning all. 6.1 for me. Averaging 6 on waking for the last couple of weeks which compares with the 5 average over the last few months. Something has happened but I dunno what.

Daughter was insistent she wasn’t having anymore after the first, but they moved house about 8 years ago and decided she would, so they had a boy and a girl. She then decided she wanted another but hubby said no way, she eventually wore him down! I’m similar, my three are 36, 33 and 27! It can be a pain trying to entertain them, not now but back in the day! 😉

Morning all, 8.3 for me today. Work is gonna be fun today. It was my day off yesterday and apparently the compressors that run out fridges didn't cope with the heat too well. They shut the store at 6 yesterday instead of 8.30. Loads of food wasted. And they're still off this morning!!!

Skies busier than usual here this morning but I was already awake before the first one anyway, so not a problem and I got up at my usual time just before 7. Tested straight away and it was a 5.2 - I finally managed to nail one after coming within a whisker a few times over the past week....!!

Scorcher here yesterday. Garden weather station registered a high of 36.4, although it did cloud over and get a bit muggy from late afternoon onwards, and we got a light shower. As the forecast was so good my wife invited five of her friends round for a socially-distanced get-together and Chinese takeaway in the garden. I kept out of the way.

Finally bit the bullet and went for a haircut yesterday afternoon. I normally go every other pension day, so every eight weeks, but my last haircut was four days before lockdown, so the best part of five months ago. Had a trim and a tidy up as I've gotten used to my hair being longer.

Have a good weekend, everyone.
