Group 7-day waking average?

4.1 Have tweaked a few meals but can't stop eating sprouts, I used to hate them but they are like sweet's for me now so its a good job I am alone in my van most of the day 😉 .
 
5.1 for me this morning. 🙂
Well done @khskel on the HS.
@Lanny, please take good care and I hope you're feeling better soon.

Good morning all, 16.2 this morning :(

Looking forward to having my first chat with my nurse this evening and sorting a way forward. On a plus side, bought some scales and now measuring ALL my intake. Knocked up a spreadsheet for all the nutritional values to, so now i can track exactly what's going in 🙂
 
Morning. I’ve had a lie in, it was light when I woke! But disappointed with a 5.8 as @Anitram promised me a HS as it was bin day, but TBF it’s recycling today so maybe next Wednesday. Frosty here at the moment but supposed to rain. Off to have my brunch as it’s that late. Have a good day and stay safe. 🙂
@Lanny hope you feel better soon. @khskel congrats, again, on your HS. @Anitram take your sun specs, I made that mistake one year, it was November and pouring down so didn’t bother, I was like a drunk woman walking home, it’s amazing how bright rain is!
 
@Lanny hopefully you’re feeling better soon.

@Iwillgetthere I saw him first but I’m open to sharing lol

Bagged up most of Peluche’s things last night and put them out for collection today. Didn’t hear the dustcart trundle up the road and was fearful that they’d still be there but just checked and all gone. Sad but relieved they’ve gone. Litter tray, scratching post, toys, food etc. All the stuff which takes up space and you can’t help but see.
New home confirmed for the drinking fountain and the slow feeding bowl. Both packed with unopened packs of Dreamies in the boxes too because what else am I going to do with them?!

Have been looking at websites like Battersea etc and not entirely closed to the idea of adopting a rescue but not for a while I think.

Anyway.... just tested and scored a 6.1 today.
 
5.3 this morning. I have just discovered home made fruit yoghurt (slow learner). I really like it.
 
I've joined @khskel this morning with a 5.2 at 06:51 on a dull and damp West Berks morning. It's still mild so did the chickens in my dressing gown again. It is a good job we are isolated as I must looks a right fool in dressing gown and wellies!

Hope you feel better soon @Lanny

One of my Mum's best friends always had rescue cats. She would sit on the floor and the first cat that came up to her for fuss was the one she took home. All of the ones I remember were incredibly affectionate
 
@ColinUK I've had 5 cats in my life, only 2 since kittens, 2 we took in to give them better lives (one came riddled with worms and fleas, skinny as anything etc) and one moved in himself after walking back almost 14 miles on a few occasions as he and his owner moved but he clearly didn't want to leave so his owner was happy for my mum to have him as at least she knew he was safe and had a warm, loving home, rescuing is great as most of them haven't had a great life in the past so I'd encourage that route too when you feel up to it xx
 
Saw this earlier, thought it was worth sharing?FB_IMG_1610530550781.jpg

@ColinUK - I know that it is a bit soon but if you decide to adopt a new cat then please rescue one - there are so many cats and dogs that need a loving new home.

When I initially decided to get a cat it was really important to me to have some knowledge of personality type.
i was quite frequently ill with depression and couldn’t have coped with a particularly vocal cat for example, and home meant that it would have to be an indoor cat.
If I did go down the route of adoption etc then they’d still have to be an indoor one.

But as I say, this is way too soon to even consider it tbh.

When you do decide to do this Colin, possibly try for fostering, that way you will get a good idea of what the cat's personality is like and whether you 'suit each other' without any permanent commitment. I would love to have a cat again but my dog might eat it and my DIL is allergic to cats - shame.
 
Just caught up on this thread!

I’m so sorry about your cat’s passing @ColinUK :( Almost 18 was a grand old age & he got to see you one last time; maybe that’s what he waited for?

Welcome to newbie, on the thread, @Bazzlejet 🙂 We all have to start somewhere & please don’t let the really low waking figures, some are too low & even hypo, that others post here put you off! I used to think when I first started posted here that I’ll never get readings that good but, keep working at it & be as good as you can, don’t HAVE to be saintly ALL the time, I & others too DO occasionally break out & are BAD, & you will eventually get there: maybe even bag a few House Special’s of 5.2; deemed to be the perfect waking reading as it’s not too low, not too high & gives good wriggle room for a post breakfast rise without going over target!🙂 And a cheeky little signature 😉 from me!

PS:- Wasn’t quite my usual self earlier, feel a bit better & have to readdress the issue! So, a rather belated greeting from me for a Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

There! THAT’S cheered ME up a bit too! :D😉

Firstly congrats on the HS and secondly I quite often fill my bird feeders before I do anything else and quite happily go up and down the garden in dressing gown and wellies! I have near neighbours and I’m sure they think I’m nuts!
 
Good Afternoon and hugs to everyone who is having a bad day. 7.8 This morning, it rose quite quickly before I ate though..Still not managed to speak to diabetic team, although will try again when I can get myself out of my dressing gown and wake up properly (had a bad night)
