Group 7-day waking average?

morning ive been missing again for a few days still up to the neck in home improvement well hubby is, just tried to re order my meds and everything apart from my Lantus and Thyroxine is missing so another trip to the doctors, no point phoning you can never get through and when you do they say its sorted but it never is, BS seams to have changed again I'm now in the 3s club 3.7 and 3.6 the last to days, which is strange because ive had more carbs over the last 2 days belated birthday wishes Gwynn and all HS people have a lovely day all.
 
Was 7.2 for me this morning.Removed the sensor I've been having trouble with.It was due to be replaced on Wednesday Not surprised it wasn't working that often The needle was about as straight as a dogs back leg Have a good day folks
 
4.5
 
Late on parade again but safely back home after our weekend on the South Downs. Blue sky and sunshine for our journey home. Didn't count any carbs while we were away, and sampled some of the goodies that are always to hand when we go on this annual trip, so was more than happy to see this when I tested this morning:-

Decided on Brighton yesterday so only went into Shoreham to catch the train. Brighton was very busy and no sooner had we left the station than we had a young woman pestering us for money, so not a great start. My wife browsed some Antiques & Collectables shops but didn't find anything she wanted, but she did find some shoes she'd seen online and the company had a branch in Brighton. Grabbed a coffee and something to eat before catching the train back.

Enjoy what's left of the day.

This one? It’s slipped down the page a bit, I think .

Thread 'Before Tea/Evening Meal'

I thought it would be interesting to see how people's day had gone before they have tea/evening meal.

I will go first. The heat seems to be affecting me. I had hoped for 7+ or - 1 but got a naughty 10.9 so injected and waiting an hour. These dinosaur insulins take a while to kick in. This is where a Libre would be useful!

Well, Good evening all... it has been a beautiful day.

7.7 when I got round to testing bloods. Necessary since the sensor had ended by then and the new one hadn't started up.

The kitchen tap has been dripping and getting on our nerves for long enough, despite replacement of valves and the areator thingie. So J had found a nice monobloc tap in Wickes in Truro, so we went to pick it up after lunch. Called in at Aldi on the way back and sourced our Christmas pud - we've had their speciality Xmas puds for a few years now and they are delicious. Did a bit of a grocery shop too. Then called in to M&S to return an eye wateringly expensive cashmere cardigan the friend who came to stay had bought me. I do need to tell her I rarely wear a cardigan these days and only around the house if I do. So am going to get a sweater instead. Also got another friend a nice orchid for her birthday and dropped it round to her house with a card - hence posting so late!

Congratulations on the HS @Martin.A !!!

What is that? To say I am puzzled is an understatement @eggyg

Forgot to say, a wonderful sunny afternoon with a clear blue sky. Low sun in our eyes driving home all the way (mustn't grumble tho')

A Wainwright is one of 214 Lakekand fells that Alfred Wainwright ( fell walker extrodinaire) catalogued many years ago because he could! :rofl: Lots of folks make it their life work to climb them ( bag them) all. We’re on 199….. left to do! The way we’re going we’ll be 132 by the time we get them finished. 😛 Binsey is just a small one not far from home, in the outlying fells, with views over to Scotland and the Solway Firth. Maybe another day when B&Q is not visiting!
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.0

Yesterday was a day from hell itself, except for the evening meal where my wife was so very pleasant. But sadly earlier in the day, when she got up, the toilet seat mechanism had worn out and had broken. She was up in arms, angry, unpleasant, nasty. Intruders had got in again. I fixed the seat (to a point) and decided to get a new one but she was beside herself with rage, a new seat wouldn't help as it is the intruders that are the problem. She honestly and desperately believes that we need even more security measures!!!! All this, naturally upset me and I spent most of my special day on my own feeling very fed up and sad and a little frightened. She calmed down by 10pm!!! Not the best day I've had in my life. The roast chicken tea was very good though!!! I'm amazed that my own brain hasn't exploded!

Today, I will hide as best I can, avoiding any more unpleasantness.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing and I will do my best to have a good day too. Sigh
 
Good morning - 6.7

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all. A nice round 5, a bit like the nice round yellow thing we’re expecting too! Fishers crossed, the sky does look nice at the moment, very unusual lighting.

The plan was to bag a Wainwright today ( Binsey), but B&Q have scuppered that. Text at 5pm last night to say they’re delivering our order. No option to change it either. It won’t fit through the letterbox and they definitely can’t leave it with a neighbour, so we’ll have to stay home. I’m raging, we might not get the round yellow thing every again! BTW its wood we’re getting, new raised beds.

Today’s plan, hang around waiting for planks of wood and posts. Woo hoo! :(

Have a Happy Monday.

I’m sure that they could get it through the letterbox if they just folded it up a bit or have it a bit of a shove.

Here's our happy band of Youth Hosteliers. I'm at the back, on the right and flanked by our boys, and my wife is the one in the red coat in front of our youngest.

Enjoy what's left of the day.View attachment 32450

What a great looking bunch! And good to see everyone in sensible walking footwear (we’ll ignore the chap in the white trainers!)

GM to everyone.

4.4 for me on what looks to be a cold day. Might be time to introduce my gloves to my hands. Sigh:(

Mine have already had the pleasure of being used. I can’t abide getting cold hands so I’m always one of the first to break them out.
 
Congrats on your HS @Martin.A

@Gwynn that sounds like such a lot to be dealing. I hope today is calmer for you.

5.7 for me. Both the older two are home for their reading weeks from university and both have a bit of shopping they need to do before they go back so we're off to the local mall. I might consider a bit of Christmas shopping - if I could get anyone to tell me what's on their Christmas list!

I suppose it was inevitable eapecially as fully decorated Xmas trees have now appeared almost everywhere I go.
