Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 4.3 here, managed to stay out of the red all night, for a change. Monday again! Time to shoot off and do the grocery shopping before the ravening hordes get there, or worse, before I get stuck behind the school bus all the way there.

Good luck with the shop! I hear there are shortages on some things in areas of England again, although up here Morrison's are running low on bog roll, Bruce had to take a 9 pack coconut oil stuff as all 4 packs were OOS and that was the only cheaper one they had left, was dreading the "your order is on it's way" email in case it had gone OOS since ordering it Saturday night but he was fine, just my salami that was subbed lol xx
 
Like you @Robin, I managed to stay out of the red all night. Ate cheese and peanut butter and 2 dried apricots and went to bed on 9.8 with no evening Levemir or Fiasp since lunchtime but plenty of exercise and woke up on 4.9 with a steady descent all night.
Had a kipper for dinner and the house absolutely stinks of it! It was nice though. Got it lovely and crispy!

Having fun and games with my Libre on prescription. Got my first one on 22nd October and it was 2 sensors . Went to reorder something last week and noticed that the online system showed they had dispensed 4 and I couldn't reorder till 13th Dec. Sent off a message to them to say I only got 2 and would be needing to order more this month. They changed the online system to show I had only had 2 but didn't change the reorder date, so I have sent another message last night to say I have 4 days left on the last sensor and can they please sort it ASAP. They have also suspended my ability to order more test strips until I speak to a clinician but the Diabetes trained nurse has retired and there isn't anyone else trained yet at the practice. Thankfully I have plenty of test strips for now but I will get through a lot if I don't get my sensors on time and I am back to finger pricking 10+ times a day.

@Kaylz Well done on your House Special! Great to see you getting another one and giving the lads a bit of competition.... A late birthday present from the DF perhaps??

Thanks, shame it dropped though lol, think its only the 11th I've had this year! Possibly is her late birthday present for me haha xx
 
And a 5.6 for me today.
Catch up with you all later but have a great Monday all!
 
Morning. 6.5 for me. Looks like we going to have some winter this week, I’m pleased with that, I don’t like mild winters. I like my winters to be cold and frosty, no rain though please. Speaking of which, I eventually persuaded Mr Eggy to come out for a walk yesterday, we spotted a break in the clouds and headed out. We had at least 10 minutes rain free on our two hour walk! Got a bit soggy, think I might buy Mr Eggy some new walking trousers for Christmas, his obviously aren’t as waterproof as mine! He was soaked right down to his Calvins! TMI?😛 Got some fresh air surging through our lungs which was nice. No fresh air today, just ironing for me and a bit of decorating for t’other half. Have a Happy Monday all.🙂

No problem with stocks this morning, got everything on the list, shelves all looked full, even if I did swipe the last two bars of godiva 90% That was inevitably going to sell out on the special offer, though. It’ll be back to co-op own brand 85% soon (though I'll probably brave Waitrose in the bigger town at some point, to get my Lindt 90%)
 
No reading from me today as I have run out of strips yesterday. New monitor should be here before 8pm today so hopefully normal service will return tomorrow.

A dull day here in Berkshire. My 9 year old son got ready for school and then had bacon for breakfast. By the time we were ready to leave he looked like he had bathed in fat with grease spots everywhere! Good job I ironed three shirts yesterday while cooking a rather tasty leg of lamb. We'll be back on chicken rendang tonight - my wife's current favourite food in the world!

I saw on Co-Op's website that they have their 85% on offer at £1.28 a bar until 1st December, I however won't need chocolate for a while as have a tub with 4 packs of my 95% already broken up and got 5 bars for my birthday lol xx
 
Good morning folks Teds about😱 5.1 on a very overcast day but no rain.🙂

Sorry haven`t been about been laid up for a while after an accident at home🙄
was Dysoning the living room floor stepped back and my wobbly legs decided
to keep on going. Bear in mind I`m going backwards and ended up stuck to the
coffee table by my upper back mainly on the right hand side, massive bruising
and torn muscles. Managed to hit the panic button and Paramedics arrived in
less than 5 minutes, they took me to A & E in my personal Ambulance, TED 1:D
were I stayed for 2.5 days. No phone or any other means of contacting the outside
world except son 400 miles away but he had to contact the hospital to find out
what`s happening.

They took me home when I could prove I could walk to the bathroom etc. neighbours
rallied around and done all the cooking for me and some cleaning😎 made sure I was
comfortable in bed with test gear and everything D at hand. Finally managed to recover
enough to sit in the recliner and that`s when I noticed the coffee table😱 leaning at an
angle with all the joints separated my hand made coffee table, broke,😡 (note to self
loose some weight you fat b***ard.)🙂 Still in a lot of pain and right side of body seems
to have a trapped nerve if I move my head to the right my neck, arm goes all tingly but
the Docs are aware of it so I`m having physio they come to me.

Up and about now albeit slowly does it here endeth the tale.:D

Congratulations on HS @Kaylz.🙂

@eggyg and @rebrascora here is my sick note, 1605526658398.png

Great to be back on board missed you all now to catch up with the forum
take care stay safe.🙂
 
Oh Ted! Can't tell you how good it is to hear from you but really sorry you have had another fall! Loving your sick note but I'm not accepting it! Clearly a fake!... thank goodness! Will take more than a coffee table to see you off! Tough as old boot leather. Hope your pain and soreness eases soon and/or the physio is pretty enough to distract you from it!
 
12:08 BS 6.8 🙂 Little Miss Sleepy & Exhausted is reporting in briefly!🙄 I’m a bit burnt out & after tesco shopping arrives, 13:00 to 14:00, a quick turkey & trimmings sandwich if I get one, I’m off to sleep again: Masters watching is catching up on me!😳🙄

A Very Good Afternoon to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 Just one more last waffle about golf, I promise for a while at least, which you can skip entirely!🙄:D

Well done to Dustin Johnson but, my man Tiger had his drama & excitement too that just made me laugh so much! Tiger only went & bounced back from his minster 10 at the par 3 12th. Hole by nearly Eagling 13th, JUST missed a Birdie on 14th & then 4 Birdies back to back to finish off his round with 5 Birdies out of the last 6 holes! 😱😛😎:D Red for victory; it was red for determination & bouncing back!:D Dustin Johnson won it in style, I must say, beating Tiger’s record breaking lowest score, -18 set in 1997, with his winning score of -20 & he was so genuinely moved to speechlessness by it! A round of applause for DJ, as he’s called!:D😎

There we are, it’s going to be a catching up on sleep day for me as soon as shopping comes, is put away & I eat, hopefully the festive sandwich: had it last year & it’s deliciously, moreishly, naughty AND nice! 😛
 
@Bloden how did Gwennie get on? I meant to ask before now! xx
