Group 7-day waking average?

Personally I miss the two tin cans on a piece of string.

Hopefully they sort out the issue sooner rather than later.
Lord only knows. I'm getting e-mails from BT now saying welcome to BT and your service will be connected on 9th Feb. 😳
Also they've sent another BT Smart Hub/Router. That's the 3rd one during this saga. 🙄
 
@MAC2020 Happy birthday and congrats on another House Special!.... and you were asking me for tips!! The Diabetes Fairy obviously likes you to leave you such a nice birthday present. Hope you have the best day possible. Will you be treating yourself to something a bit naughty later... I can recommend G&Ts for having a beneficial impact on BG levels. Is there likely to be any birthday cake? If so, we want to see a photo.... but bear in mind you are competing with @ColinUK's low carb triple chocolate layer cake!!
Hi @rebrascora

Thanks so much, I won't embarrass myself. I couldn't possibly compete with @ColinUK 's triple chocolate layer cake! Out of my league I'm afraid. As for treating myself, I will leave that upto Mr Mac2020 to organise.

It's been raining outside and for the last hour but still determined to talk my walk.
Still not sure what I've been doing or avoided doing to produce two HSs in three days, despite not exercising on both days. Will monitor myself more closely.

Thanks everyone, @Kaylz, @ColinUK, @adrian1der, @Michael12421, @rebrascora for birthday greetings. Much much appreciated!!

Have a great day all. x
 
@MAC2020 A very happy birthday from mee too.

I can pop a slice or two in the post!
 
Happy Birthday @MAC2020 i hope it’s your last lockdown birthday! (That probably doesn’t read as well as it sounded in my head!)
It’s a 6.9 from me but probably something to do with the dark chocolate orange extra 4 slices incident last night during an episode of The Drowning!
@Gwynn i do hope you feel better, gather your inner Sir Captain Tom and tomorrow will be a better day.
Have a good day everyone and thank you for keeping me sane!
 
@MAC2020 happy birthday and congratulations on your HS
@Kaylz , do not take to heart other peoples comments. Your diabetes is your diabetes and we all do what we need to do to manage it as best we can. You give advice and support to everyone so please don't get upset x

That is shocking bad service.

The annoying thing is I've heavily invested in smart home devices. Until now, I haven't had to switch on a light switch in the last 2-3 years. Now I'm living in a dumb home.
The other day, I even found myself shouting at a 35 year old transistor radio to play Classic fm.:D

My friends laugh when I get exasperated and just tell Alexa to shut up!

And then I apologise to her

I told my laptop to eff off once and it replied! (I didn’t realise I had Siri, or whatever it’s called). It sounded like I’d really hurt its feelings LOL.


Congrats on the HS and HAPPY BIRTHDAY @MAC2020 - I hope you’re having a fab day!

But I don't judge others actions based on my own diabetes which is what they seemed to be doing, with feeling so low the slightest thing has me angry or in tears at the moment and its something I could've done without, I didn't need to hear it would raise me so much and hit pretty quick, I'e had my Libre almost 2 years, I know what I'm doing so there was absolutely no need to question my actions, sorry for all that lol, I do hope your enjoying your freedom! xx

Haha, this really did just make me LOL, so much so my mum was giving me strange looks so had to let her in on it! xx
 
Morning all, I have a little dumbass question, several times a lot of you have congratulated me on having a "HS" or "house special" when i had a 5.2 I think, I was chatting to my better half this morning about it and admitted I didn't know what it actually meant but I was too embarrassed to ask.... so here I am lol... after her kicking my butt a few times.... what does it actually mean ??

optimal waking level especially for someone who can suffer hypo's as allows for wiggle room either way, you liked posts from yesterday but it was also asked and answered yesterday so pay attention!! LOL xx

Trying to get a decent signal for this bloomin' BT Mini Hub is a bit like those TV aerials of yesteryear. 😡
You had to stand with one foot in the cat's litter tray and your right arm at exactly 60deg from horizonal for something to happen. o_O
Unfortunately Poppy's litter tray isn't anywhere near my computer desk (thank goodness)😱 and I ain't risking her toilet training by moving it.
For our younger readers here's a picture of how you received pictures on your black & white 14inch TV screen.

I shout at Alexa too! I don't apologise to her though. I nearly threw her out about 5 minutes ago, I was asking her to turn the volume down, but she kept telling me she speaks differnt languages, but she certainly does don't understand English with a Teesside accent.
