Group 7-day waking average?

[Bloden]

Proper 🙂 Although it's one of the later ones

When I was little, my mum had a Mini Clubman estate - burgundy, with a turquoise passenger-side door (from the scrap yard after the original door got trashed in an accident). It was TINY compared to the monster cars we drive today. My gran got stuck in the back and wet herself laughing so much, trying to get out. What colour's yours @khskel ?

Good afternoon! 6'1 at 7ish this morning.


Had a day off yesterday and I enjoyed it, even if I didn't do anything exciting, I completed every task on my list and feel very good about that. Also went to sleep at a good time and today I am well rested. Good thing considering I am facing 7 days of work in a row!


The to-do list included a visit to the pharmacy, where for the first time I found Dextro tablets and decided to buy one pack to try (when needed). Seems more compact than Jelly babies to carry around. After that I went to Lidl to stock the fridge and got myself a few treats, tried to avoid sweet stuff this time and go for lower carb ones. It was payday as well so I spared no expense, look at this caviar! 😎

(Aubergine caviar, 0'99£. The real luxury in this picture is the bag of nuts haha)

Her taste is very eclectic so my thought was an album from the year she was born. I Googled it today and one of the best selling albums of 1992 was by REM, Automatic for the People. We’ve actually got it and she’ll have heard us playing it. We’ve got an independent record shop and a HMV plus an independent bookshop with a huge range of second hand records. Could be fun. I’ll let you know tomorrow.

That’s a great album!

That’s a great album!

Got it in HMV. Not the original one but a digital remastered one. We’ve been in three second hand record shops and apparently the original would sell for about £400! Pity we’ve just got it on CD. I think she’ll like it.

Careful with the salt content in the caviar although I have to admit I used to enjoy the occasional caviar washed down with champagne!

You have just whizzed up my DUK Forum people ratings!

I was tempted by one about eight years ago. It was in brilliant condition and serviced by the person who serviced my fleet. At the time I was put off as it was rather expensive and auto. Compared to today's prices it was a bargain and minus a left leggy ideal. However, the DVLA jury is out at the moment.

It's an auto too

If a corroded sill is the only issue after well over 20 years it's a good one!

Trust me to go out for the day and miss the most exciting topic. I passed my test on a mini, (in 1973) then my first car was a Mini Clubman Estate. I could get all my worldly goods in the back, in the days when I was flitting between flat shares and '3rd Girl' rooms in the London area. I got behind one the other day, and was amazed how tiny and narrow it looked next to my car, which is a modern Mini 4x4, and huge! I seem to remember the electrics were dodgy, I was driving back from Newcastle to London in the pouring rain, by myself late at night, having visited a friend for the weekend, and suddenly in the outside lane of the A1(M) at 70mph, all the lights went out, and I realised I was completely invisible to other traffic. Luckily I had the presence of mind to flick the switch up and down a couple of times and they came back on again!

Mine has needed a quick thump on the wing to sort an occasional dodgy indicator out.

I learned to drive in a bright yellow Mini with black running matchstick men transfers along the bottom of the doors. Those were the days when a Mini actually WAS a Mini.

Thank you @Bloden and @Pattidevans , it doesn't help that my levels rise a couple of weeks after doing my contraceptive injection anyway so really bad timing for everything 🙄 xx

This evening turned out to be another from hell itself.

Wife looking for trouble, of course, found it. Someone had been in the house, into her safe, and damaged or stolen her jewellery (not that she had much). No they hadn't.

She is very upset. But it is probably all just another nonesense in her head. Everything else over the years I have bern able to explain away rationally ( not that it helped). This time she won't show me any evidence. She seems determined to be upset and frightened.

To be blunt, I am fed up with all the nonsense ruining both of our lives. I am not sure how much more of it I can take. 35 years of hell so far.

Sad sad sigh

Good morning - 3.7

 

[rebrascora]

Not often I get to post first on this thread but gave uo trying to sleep at 3.44am and the reading was 9.2 but that was after a 2.5 unit correction at 3am and a 2 unit Levemir increase again last night. Went to bed on 5.8. I have come to the conclusion it is hormonal and I need to change my HRT routine. The last 2 nights my levels have gone up whilst I slept, I have tossed and turned and needed corrections despite significant basal increases and I have felt irritable during the day. Should have applied a new HRT patch last night but just couldn't be bothered but have applied it now and will be going back to a half patch twice a week rather than a whole patch once a week as I am certain I am seeing a pattern now both with BG levels quality of sleep and mental health towards the end of the 7 days. I really need to be more consistent with this as with it not being a daily routine it is harder to get into a regular pattern of applying it and I am often a day or two late.....
Oh no, I have waffled on too long and someone has beaten me to the first post slot for the day!

Good morning 🙂 6.6 for me today 🙂

 

[Gwynn]

4.8

 

[rayray119]

Morning I'm going to go with 8.9. at first it send 10.4 and I did a few checks(should have probably just went with it) as I was confused my why my correction at 2am hadn't worked at at all.
