Group 7-day waking average?

Hmm, I can't offer a reading as I forgot my test kit. But I can offer this photo of La Coruna , Northern Spain. We have been
celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with cruise. Sadly, Southampton on Saturday :(

I don't think so the Guy who came said the new stuff was thicker than what we have down, so I assume its not a spray I didn't know
it could be done any other way is this spray dangerous ?

I do know quite a bit about loft insulation @Pam123 in a previous life I was qualified (well technically I still am in that field)
through insulation surveying and energy assessments /carbon reduction etc..

when you talk about "spray insulation" are you referring to blown loft insulation, that is the nice fluffy cloud like carpet on the loft floor (sometimes this is just an alternative to rolled out insulation)
or are we referring to spray foam adhesive that used to sometimes be sprayed on to the underside if the pitched roof as insulation (horrible stuff)
and believe it or not there are still companies out there that will spray the adhesive foam to the underside of roofs
if you let me know maybe on that I can advise

A BLOWN loft insulation product is fine, it's just a mineral wool or other recycled product that can also be natural fibres, but usually it's the same kind of material that makes up those big fluffy rolls that is then blown into the loft usually for access reasons

but sprayed foam on underside of roof a totally different thing that can cause damp and can deem a property un-mortgageable even

Thanks for your reply, the guy who did the survey told my hubby that whoever did our last time which was some years ago had used Fibre glass but had also put it in the eves, he said we were lucky that some of it had fallen out so the roof was able to breathe, he said they will remove all the old stuff and replace it with a thicker one, so I am assuming it will be fibre glass.
 
Good morning - 8.2

Have a great day everyone.
 
Morning a 6.1 and went low ( only 4.4) just after getting into bed but 3 Dextrose kept me out of red for rest of night.
Pleased it is Friday and looking forward to w/ end and hope you all are.
Going to grab another hour as up early with the4 legged children.
 
Good morning all. 5.7.

After yesterday’s foggy day, it was a right pea souper, it appears to be clearer this morning, albeit damp and mild. I’m looking forward to next week’s frosty but sunny days, much prefer that than what we’ve been having.

Busy few days ahead, today is domestic stuff, tomorrow we’re going out out, surprise 40th birthday. It’s out of town quite a bit, six of us going from this end of the county, north to the west, £2 bus at 4.30pm, takes over an hour and we still need a lift to get to the venue, then I’ve pulled in a favour from my ex taxi driver son in law who’s asked his friend to pick us up at midnight, mates rates of course. It’ll be a long day and I can’t say I’m looking forward to it, but it’s once in a blue moon and it’ll be nice to see some old friends. I’ll be good for nowt on Sunday!

Have a fab Friday folks.
 
Good morning everyone. 7'2.

My BG stayed on the 9s basically for the 10 hours I was at work. I got it down to 5 via an hour long walk, but it shot up after dinner again. I'm sure walking after eating would help but I don't usually feel like it at night, especially now that's colder :(

My landlord said he would send someone to check the fridge yesterday but so far no news.
 
Morning all. 5.8 here.

Had a good old catch-up with my friend yesterday. Today it’s lesson planning then drive to Swansea to stay the night at my mum’s. Was supposed to be going out on Saturday with my bezzie but she’s blimmin’ useless when it comes to planning stuff - says ‘yes’ before checking her diary, then says ‘no’ at the last minute! Whatevs, it gives me more time to help mum do her shopping and if the weather’s nice there’s a fab beach café we can go to for a coffee. It’s all good!
 
Good morning everyone

BG a 5.3 totally acceptable

Yesterdays lunch with the Pastor, at a local posh restaurant, was really good. We had a nice chat about the church and it's future direction, and, well, all sorts really. Anyway, the menu was definitely upper class! As were the prices! I settled on plain old fish and chips and it was the best F&C I have ever eaten!

Wife was happy yesterday.

Went to bed late only for me to spring out of bed 30 minutes later, switch on all my sound gear, keyboard, computer, and to write down the bare bones of a new song. I had to do it there and then as I would have forgotten it by morning!

Here's a real picture of my set up... (when it was a bit tidier)

This One 12.jpg



Today I will have a look at the song, do a bit of tidying up too (I can be a bit messy). Hopefully there will be a walk with my friend this afternoon too.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
