Group 7-day waking average?

Lanny said:
02:47 BS 8.5 only because Midnight Levemir is SO late, not the latest it’s ever been as that was at 3am once but, pretty close to that so, not panicking & stuck in extremely late LR & breakfast NR to do their thing! 😳🙄 Won’t panic if it’s high later, chances are it will be as breakfast hasn’t been in target anyway the last two days, as the basal WILL eventually do it’s thing!🙂 I just about managed to stay awake for all of Strictly last night & nodded off more or less straight after I voted, didn’t react fast enough when Midnight alarm went off, nodded off again & next thing I know it’s half two in the morning! Oh dear! It’s becoming a habit!😳 Never liked having snooze on my alarms but, may well need it the way things have gone recently! The daily exercise makes me sleep more heavily & I’m more reluctant to pop up at midnight for LR when the alarm goes off!😳

Tried shepherds pie with cauliflower rice yesterday & didn’t really like it as the flavours weren’t strong enough to cover the bitterness: only with a curry is the bitterness of cauliflower covered up; needs must, though & I know for definite now it doesn’t work! :( Please, please, please let there be broccoli rice in tesco delivery tomorrow but, ordered mashed potato for pie toppings, bolus will just have to be upped a bit, or have curry with the cauliflower which, will also need a bit of extra bolus for the curry anyway!🙄

Had the last of the shepherds pie for breakfast with my caramel latte & it tasted even more bitter than yesterday: extra time for the flavour of the cauliflower to come out; I needed the sweetness of the caramel syrup in the latte to balance that out! o_O Dithered about whether to give +2 bolus or not for the coffee & decided to add it in the end as I’m higher starting today. Found during my morning coffee breaks, the last two days, that I don’t need as much bolus for the caramel latte & mint kit kat as I thought & was a bit lower, the first day, than expected so, lowered the bolus the next day! I suppose, thinking back on it now, those morning coffee breaks WERE a third meal as I’d bolused for them, not as much as a full meal but, still needed a bit of bolus? I suppose I ate two & a half meals the last two days! 🙄 I’ve already had my coffee for breakfast, felt I might need the sweetness for the cauliflower, & will have a morning tea break later this morning instead that needs even less bolus just for the kit kat! Or maybe, not testing permitting?🙂

A very early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 Have a easy, lazy Sunday folks & it’ll be a duvet day for me as it’s very nippy out there: a bit of a mad dash in & out of a freezing kitchen for breakfast earlier & ate it in bed where it’s MUCH warmer! Shivering, covered in icicles emoji! & a smilie covered in a duvet emoji! IF such a thing exists?:D😎😛😉

Have you tried doing a cauliflower cheese mash?
 
5.5 this morning.

Which gives me a 5.1 average for the week. None too shabby 🙂

Off to the shops in a bit as I want to get my hand on the new iPhones and then decide if I want to plump for the mini or not.

And today’s been a good day so far because Nigella Lawson now knows I exist. She responded to a tweet of mine so that means we’re now best buds!

Ooh get you. You’ll be getting a liquorice box next! 😉
 
Morning all, lots going on I see. No reading for me today, had barely opened my eyes before I was being pushed out of the front door to go to the airport, even had to wake my granddaughter up. She’s such a darling and has been as good as gold. Had lovely breakfast and my daughter has collected her now. Going to spend the day on the sofa doing cards I think as tummy not good today but plenty to do whilst sitting.
@Baz. nice to see you
@Michael12421 good to see you your reading today, hope you get your guttering fixed and at a reasonable price.
Missing @Kaylz
@Inamuddle - welcome
@mikeyB - congrats on the HS
Have a good Sunday all xx
 
A 6.1 this morning and a return to dull and dreary. Just bobbed to our local farm shop to get a joint (topside) for dinner this evening and it is very foggy in West Berks
 
Good day all. Very late posting today. Woke at 6am to 6.8, as it was Sunday i had a lie in and woke at 8.30am to 4.1. Caught and treated before i went hypo. Phew!
Hope you all had a good day folks

Who says I haven’t already got one?

I haven’t. I’m not too keen on liquorice.
 
Liquorice not good for your blood pressure! No reading for me, Mum fell off the commode, spent the night on the floor. It was all go! Hope we have a quieter night tonight...
 
A comfortable 6.3 this morning, line was a bit bumpy last night but looks to be sorting it’s self out the last couple of hours.
Have an fantastic day everyone!!
 
Good morning all 6.1 today, looking good at the mo with big curlers in my hair, sooo need to get my hair cut, it’s way too long, looks a mess. Going to try and do an extra hour today as feel guilty having so much time off but nothing I can do. Thing is after 7 solid hours the brain is a bit mashed.
@Ditto so sorry to hear about your mum, hope she is feeling ok now.
Have a good day all x
 
Morning. 5.4. Up a bit earlier than usual. After a full on day yesterday, in hindsight I pushed myself too much, I was in bed just after the Strictly results show! TBF I did read for a while. Got our Christmas tree yesterday, it’s in the garden at the moment. I’ve brought the decs down from the shed, I may attempt to decorate it today after Mr Eggy has done his “ worst job of the year” ie put the tree in the stand, this usually involves, saws, drills, secateurs and lots of cursing! Have a good day everyone.🙂
 
Morning all. A horrible 9.9 for me this morning. Been having sudden drops or waking normal level then through the day it creeps up and the last couple of nights staying high overnight. Could be stress, could be tiredness, could be anything..who knows. I think the DF has found me again.

@Ditto i hope your mum is ok
 
06:53 BS 7.3 🙂 Ok with that after a bit of a lie in! Little Miss Slugabed!😳

Yesterday’s after breakfast was slightly better at BS 10.2 & then stayed in the 9’s & 8’s. Hopefully it’ll settle & lower a bit more today as I’m not fiddling with doses again; they’re more or less right! 🙄

Just tesco shopping 13:00 to 14:00 & REALLY hope I get broccoli rice but, am prepared to go with mash potato & cauliflower rice if I have to! 🙄 Normally tesco’s gyozas are out now, Japanese dumplings, but, there aren’t any this year: there’s quite a lot of missing Christmas foods just not available this year; at least not here, I don’t know about tesco around GB!:(

I’ll have breakfast & then start the latest, just out on 03/12/20, Lady Hardcastle book The Fatal Flying Affair. About an Edwardian former espionage agent for the Foreign Office & her sidekick maid/companion/bodyguard who retired to the country for a quiet life: NOT! 😱 Loads of fun by TE Kinsey if you haven’t tried them: I highly recommend them; with the audiobook performances it’s even better! If you read & liked Miss Fisher, set in Australia in the 1920’s, you’ll love this too! Very improbable, of course, but, suspend disbelief for a bit & it’s a fun, madcap ride! 😛:D😎😉

The 5th. Twilight book came out recently, just before Lady Hardcastle so, was reading Stephanie Meyers Midnight Sun these past few days! Basically the first book, Twilight, told from Edward’s perspective & his reading the minds of others around him EXCEPT Bella! 🙄 It was interesting but, no real surprises as Twilight has already been written & read so, the plot was set already.

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
Morning all. 🙂 4.9 here.

Oo, ouch, I hope your mum’s ok @Ditto. Poor thing!

Hahaha, I had to laugh @eggyg at your description of Mr Eggy, wrestling the tree into its stand. Are you on standby with a box of plasters? o_O:D
 
Perhaps there’s something in the water as I recorded a shocking 7.8 this morning. The DF has been busy it seems.

Had a remarkably low carb day yesterday but seriously stressed as I completely failed to read the room with my sense of humour and annoyed a really close friend, and the court case is starting to move on again with more letters of action due to be sent today after some ridiculous delaying tactics from the other side. And revision to the underlying claim due to discovery of more serious malfeasance on their part.

Obviously this week will be a much better week as it goes on as I’ve had a word with God and she’s confirmed I’m going to win the euromillions jackpot tomorrow. It’s only £175m so I think I’d just about manage.

Honestly could you imagine winning £175m? I’m tempted to say it’s an obscene notion that a lottery ticket could give that much wealth to an individual but i accept the lottery raises a fortune for good causes and it wouldn’t raise half as much of it didn’t offer such vast jackpots. I have worked on charity lotteries and the feedback we get saying that folks would gladly support if the prizes were larger has always surprised me.

Still, when I do win DUK can expect a sizeable donation.
