Group 7-day waking average?

3.4 according to Libre, staying around there then dipping to 2.9 after porridge! Fingerprick readings were mid 5s and a peak of 6.5 after porridge (much lower than I normally get so I’m definitely running low anyway, just not as low as the sensor has been telling me over these last couple of days). The sensor must be on its last legs, it’s on day 13 anyway. So, put on a new sensor this morning and reported to Abbott.

Some good news on our saga over the bathroom tradesperson who had done a fantastic job on our bathroom earlier in the year and so we had paid a deposit for the downstairs cloakroom refurb and kitchen floor to be tiled by him. Then heard nothing from him and no response to calls, messages and finally a letter (good job we had his home address). We ended up raising a small claim through the small claims court and on the last day to respond (today) he admitted the claim and agreed to pay us the deposit plus the £115 court costs within a week. He’s finally emailed and asked for bank details so hopefully will get that later today and be able to put this behind us!

Take care everyone!
 
Opened the curtains to a bright and sunny Berkshire morning and a 5.8 on the meter. Out early as I had a hygienist appointment at 9, followed by a check-up at 9:30. I always book them back-to-back, and always that way round. No issues, so pleased to hear that.

Will be heading off out again straight after lunch to pick up my new glasses from Specsavers. Good to have things to go and do on a Monday when there are 3 WFH. Keeps me out of the way, especially if I fit in a stop at Gail's for a coffee (our favourite cafe doesn't open on Mondays).

Have a good start to the week.
 
Morning all (just) - quite a nice day here in West Cornwall. Lots of sun and (mainly) white and fluffy clouds.

6.8 this morning, but with the Omnipod 5/Libre 2 it can jump from 6.8 to 8.9 in 5 minutes and then back again - and it did this morning at 8 am and 8.05 am!

Not doing much today, which I am quite pleased about as I had a mixed night last night. Periods when I slept deeply and others where I laid awake and was far too hot. At least we got the last of the decorations up and the tree done yesterday and we have leftover roast chicken and cauli cheese for dinner, so just a few veggies to prepare.

Was fascinated by @eggyg's tale of the cow visit. Must say, we've had squirrels, a hedgehog, a baby rabbit and once ratty and family visited, but never cows!. Soon despatched Mr ratty and his family. Anyway, have a lovely holiday!

@Eternal422 glad the bathroom tradesperson episode seems to be favourably resolved!

So have a good day everyone and a Happy December to you all!

Afternoon

Was late up so had to log straight in to work, now at lunch, was 5.3 for me today after a roast dinner yesterday, and a scone with jam and cream at the wreath workshop, so a much carby day than usual, although I will always continue to have a couple of roast potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding with a roast dinner, I don’t have one every week. I’ll post a pic of my wrath tomorrow

@eggyg - enjoy your pre-Christmas break.

Hello everyone! 8'5 today.

Good fun in the staff party, much better atmosphere than last year. I had plenty of dancing, which I was looking forward to. Mostly with a teenage coworker, which felt a bit awkward at first, but that's what you get in this industry. Other of my favourite colleagues is a man in his sixties who is always joking and telling me all the gossip. I probably wouldn't hang out with either of them on our time off, but I do enjoy chatting with them at work, makes the shift better 🙂

I'm a bit tired but not hungover. I want to take it easy the rest of the day. It is sunny at the moment so could do with a leisurely walk, and my fridge is empty again, I might do Lidl, didn't go in ages...

Have a nice day, and I leave you with a picture from last night:

It seems a few folks had hypo's in the night... and a new moon too.

6.8 for me this a.m., so they do seem to be dropping day after day!

We're both looking forward to the xmas meal tonight for all our carers and helpers we've had over the last year - going to be a fair few!

I'm not sure I would like to give bank details to someone who had let me down, I would want the cash.

Good early morning everyone. First up

My finger stabber broke! Thankfully I had a spare one in the cupboard.

Hip is much better. Still going to rest today though.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

5.3 for me on this frosty morning. Managed to avoid the mini chocolate brownies and flapjacks on offer at work yesterday.

Off to do knee exercises

Wishing everyone a lovely day 🙂
 
Morning a 7.3 for me and another nice line overnight and a good sleep.
Off to Anglesey today so long drive but will enjoy scenery and not too busy from a work perspective.
Looking forward to Xmas break even if a few weeks away so just have to take each day as it comes.
Have a good week.
