Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning! Another night interrupted by Phantom Pain. Looking back it has been every night since the Doxycycline was stopped but I cannot see any connection. The stomach seems to be improving though. Was 10.3 when I woke in the early hours after climbing steeply but down to 5.6 on waking at 7:00.

Sunny but threatening cloud!
 
Oops, around 8 this morning. Probably due to the past few days stress with my parents. Our second visit yesterday was when the nurses came to see mum. It was helpful we were there as we could hear first hand what they are saying about care, assessments, etc. Dad is totally bamboozled by everything so at least we could help take some of the strain off him. As we said goodbye to mum she insisted on showing my wife some jewellery and saying that she wanted her to have some specific pieces. She’s done this sort of thing for years, but somehow there seemed to be something more intense about it.

Hopefully a day off visiting the folks today, daughter and family coming to us for lunch which will be really nice.

Congratulations @harbottle on your HS today!

Take care everyone.

Morning all, 8.5 here, and weirdly for me, a completely flat line overnight, I normally dip and rise again.
Doubt OH will hear from our kids, he always makes a great speech about how commercialised Father's day is, and how he doesn’t see the point of celebrating it so they take him literally and don’t. Son is camping in the middle of a muddy field in France with loud traffic racing round the outside, anyway…he’s gone to watch the LeMans 24 hours.

Hoist by his own petard! MIL years ago went on and on one Christmas everytime we went to visit about how she didn’t want any presents, it was for the kids etc etc. so we took her at her word and got her a big fat nowt! Her face was a picture. :rofl:
Funnily enough the following year she never mentioned anything!
 
Morning all - 7.0 for me today which is good, for me. Resisted any late treats/snacks last night but supper was quite crabby (ready meal curry). Day trip to Waitrose was fun - We drove through Hexham which is gorgeous but no time to have a look round. We were all on a mission with our shopping bags and Wilbur firmly shut in a cage in the boot so he didn't eat our wares on the way home. I think I've got that out of my system for another year. The good thing was that lots of things were near their use-by date so I was muttering a bit which made me more impressed by our local supermarkets (Sainsburys, Booths & M&S food). I got lots of my old time favourites though which are now out in the chest freezer and we just have to hope we don't have any power cuts any time soon! Our local village sports day today. I'm not sure what happens if it rains but looks like it might hold off till ½ way through. Have a lovely Sunday everyone xxx

I’ve never had a crab curry before. Was it a Waitrose special? 😛

Bl**dy predictive text! Although it was actually a fish curry and quite carby :rofl:
 
Morning all. 5.1 and a flat line overnight. I'm pleased with that as yesterday levels were very spiky for some reason.

Congrats on the HS @harbottle
 
Morning all,

5.7 today, been to the crem with flowers for our dads, now waiting for our daughter to visit before hubby has to go to work. Son came round while we were at the crem, which is a shame we didn’t get to see him. Going to see my friend later.

Congratulations @harbottle on your HS.

Had to reply as Hexham is one of our favourites but I can walk to our Waitrose and will have to settle for our w/end in Morpeth next week.
Mind you Martin has Waitrose Head Office on his doorstep so he trumps us all.
I only had Crab Curry once as generally I do not like Seafood however it was fantastic.I had a holiday near Mombasa a long while ago and stayed at one of the old colonial residences which had an Askari attached ( caretaker/security guard/cum Cook and each day he went down the local market to source the ingredients and then cook it.
It was delicious but the setting was perfect as well.
Enjoy your day as much as I enjoyed that Crab curry but if you find something you enjoy keep on doing it unlike me.
 
Morning all and 6.5 for me. At least it's not raining at the moment although as I can see the other side of the valley it's going to rain.

England tonight, not too sure what I'm doing before then.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning everyone, it’s a 4.7 for me today, that’s two days on the trot in the 4’s which is unusual for me as I’m usually in the 5/6 range.

Have a good day folks and happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there.
.
 
Morning all - quite dull today - mostly, but with sunny periods.

8.2 when I finally woke up, but that was a result of the Dextro tab and a biscuit at 6am.

Congratulations to @harbottle.

Have a good day - oh and any postings from me might be a bit sporadic over the next 10/12 days.
 
Just catching up wasn't able to post yesterday hubby decided to replace the power button on my mac and now it's dead I'm not very happy to say the least he still trying to fix it using my tablet at the moment but much prefer my mac anyway 5.2 yesterday and 4.9 this morning have a good day all

How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)

11.9 upon waking but 9.2 through the night
 
5.7 then after FOTF 7.1. I had a busy morning trying to figure out the wireless signal on my wireless printer but I wasn't successful. Instead, I found where to plug in a USB lead. So**ing technology - not always as it's cracked up to be!
