Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning! Woke for a comfort break around 5:00 but didn't look at Libre before thinking "I have to get up at this time tomorrow!" :( and going back to sleep. Woke to a 3.6 two hours later.

Seemed tp spend all day online or on the phone yesterday. Paid four bills and for some reason one was refused twice. Then transferred a small amount to someone who brought me a few things to get a scam warning but I have done this with them two or three times a year for the past few years. Banks really need to improve these warnings maybe share info from customers? Sorted out tomorrows double appointment and rearranged another. Far to much of my time was spent hanging on the phone. You used to get MOH (Music On Hold) but now it is endless repeated messages about their website which I would use if I could! :(

More blue sky this morning with clouds varying from white to shades of grey. Cold!
 
5.4 for me this morning and we have blue sky and sunshine rather than the dunkelflaute that's been a feature of the past week or so. Normal life resumes today after our weekend away - two WFH, catching up with the laundry, doing some grocery shopping and my regular Tuesday swim.

Sorry to hear about your day @Gwynn I hope today is better.

Have a good day, all.
 
10.1

Have the GP today about my hand - been 7 weeks now and still not right. Going to ask if it could be a diabetes thing or a stress thing I think. It just doesn’t tick any compressed nerve boxes any more.
 
Afternoon all! Had a lie in, of sorts, 5.4.

Frost this morning but the sunshine isn’t anywhere in sight. Some of the B&Q order came yesterday but not all. Another day waiting in for deliveries, TBF I am awaiting a dinner set today. I had a massive Christmas present buying splurge yesterday, so parcels everyday this week. I’m almost finished ( smug emoji).

Mr Eggy will be putting in his posts for the raised bed, I’ll be doing something as exciting I expect too! 😉

Have a grand day, you’ll need your gloves! I got mine out on Saturday, that’ll be me until April now!

Whilst waiting for B&Q yesterday I stared out into the garden as it was a beautiful day. Mr sparrowhawk spent quite a long time malingering under the bird feeders in the apple tree. He wasn’t lucky this time. The sparrows, finches and tits were though! I can’t help but admire his patience and his beauty.

Morning and a 5.1 from me after a very high carb evening meal and juggling the insulin to compensate.
Couple of days holiday so more leaf clearing and trips to tip ( I am living the high life).
Really hope your situation improves Gwynn.
Hope you all have a good week
 
A 4.7 for me this morning. 🙂

5.5 this cold morning on the boat moored in Penkridge.

Yesterday’s weather was good though and we had a nice slow cruise along the canal from Tixall Wide to Penkridge and a lovely meal in The Boat pub here.

Here’s Deptmore Lock on our way yesterday - nice Autumn day.

@Gwynn- so sorry to hear of how things are with your wife, it must be so upsetting. Sending hugs.

Take care everyone.
 
Morning all. 8.9 which quickly dropped to 6.3. Things seem to be a bit better atm (ssshhh, don't let the DF hear i said that).

I have an ex colleague coming for a cuppa this morning which will be lovely as i haven't seen her for about 18 months but apart from that nothing is planned.
 
Good morning today was a nice 5.3
look's like it was the pump still waiting to get a refund and a new one so for know I'm with the old and trustable pen and BS monitor
Have a good day all 😉
 
Morning everyone, it’s a happy 5.5 for me today and the sun is shining again.

Have a good day everyone and stay well.
 
Morning all and 5.4 for me.

Tickets for our hometown gig have started flying out the window. Amount remaining in single digits. We normally don't do brilliantly at home so we are well chuffed

Got a surprise phone call re a TV quiz show which I'd applied for a couple of years ago. I've got a Zoom audition in a few weeks.

Have a good day everyone.
 
5.5 for me nurse thinks they may have to reduce my insulin

Ooh which quiz? My youngest was on The Chase a few years ago. She didn’t win ( she went for the big money) but gave The Governess a run for her money. Good luck. She did her audition in the flesh in Durham.

I was on Eggheads in the early noughties. We lost. All rounds went way into twenty or so questions as it was level pegging all the way. Apart from mine as I didn’t get a question right!
