Good morning and Happy New Year to you all. I was so tired that I went to sleep at 10pm and didn't hear any fireworks. Flatlined pretty much all night and woke up at 8.1. According to my new watch I had just under four hours of sleep, but it was definitely a bit more than that.
Last shift today before two days off, thank goodness.
The other chef is signed off for at least two weeks, so no letup in the extra shifts yet!
It's blowing a hoolie outside but at least it's not raining yet.

Starting the year a little high - 9 on the nose this morning but I'm still running a cold and last night's burger bar extravaganza didn't help.
Still, it's just in range and I'll bring it down during the day. Will get an NYD run in at some point too.
Happy 2025 everyone...

Happy New Year! 
6.8.
We went “out out” yesterday, the first time going into a pub in the town since 1982! Really, we used to either throw house parties or attend them, and we once went to a dinner dance in a local hotel, but going into town wasn’t an option when you had kids. So on the wettest and windiest day since the last one, we got on the 2.30pm bus to town, went in two pubs and were home for 5.45! Rock and roll us! Tea at 6.30, it was all prepped, PJs on by 7! Bed at 11pm, for the first time ever we didn’t see in the new year, we were exhausted. Lightweights!
Going to take the trees and decorations down today as we haven’t much spare time between now and the 6th.
Have a great day, I love the new year it brings fresh hope and longer days. Bring on the spring.
Cheers everyone.

Happy New Year to one and all and a Good Morning to boot even though it is lashing it down.
An 8 for me after a slight bit of DP but am very pleased with how the BG has been the last 24 hours.
We went around to friends for a couple of hours last night and they had a houseful and had a casino night amongst other pastimes.We decided to have a Chinese beforehand but only Soup and Char Sui Fried rice which was really good and then if the food was not great we could go light and I do find that easier to manage my diabetes.
We then went out 2 hours later and take some food like Onion Barjis and Sausage rolls with red onion and Shropshire Blue Cheese which my wife made and there was various other offerings people had brought.
So I took another 4u just before entering their house and left the insulin in the car and timed it really well and did proceed to eat a fair bit of buffet food but managed to stay pretty flat.
Back seems a little better but still going to go to my chiropractor appointment on Monday.
Anyway have a great 2025 and good luck with any Resolutions

Morning All - 8.3. Happy New Year everyone We had a lovely evening. Just daughter & boyfriend staying here now and my brother brought over my Mum & 18 year old niece. I'd told everyone to prepare a game of some sort and it was such fun with supper in between - proper meal, not buffet (phew!). My very unfit 62 year old brother surprised us all with his flexibility with the cereal box game (google it) whilst my extremely fit 57 year old fell running husband showed us how inflexible he is! We played Mr Macarana's Band, Who am I and a game involving candles & forfeits. Hubby and I drove Mum & niece home through the floods and got back with plenty of time to watch a bit of Jools Holland and then the London Fireworks (wow!). New Year's Resolution is to go to bed earlier, lose a bit of weight and do more walking and other exercise. Have a lovely day all xxx

Very best wishes to you all for 2025.
I went to bed early and apart from needing the odd JB, I slept really well. Woke up the first time on 4.4, dropped back off to sleep and woke again 10 mins later on 3.4 which I didn't do anything about and 5 mins later I was on 4.5. Happy enough with that as I sleep best at those levels.

Happy New Year all! 6.7 for me this morning. Sneaked a choccy bic on the way to bed after watching the London fireworks on TV, to counteract the alcohol in the G & T I had earlier in the evening. Seemed to balance out reasonably!

The first day in ages that I've not had any spam/scam e-mails. I wonder if the scammers have made a New Year resolution?

Morning folks. HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!!
Managed to stay up until after midnight. I wasn’t sure if the puppy’d be upset by the fireworks - she was fine, but Gwen was shaking all over and trying to get inside my sweatshirt, as per usual.
A new year lie-in this morning! There’s the local NYDS (NY’s Day Swim) at midday - it’s hilarious and all for a good cause. Then settle down to a film and finish knitting a bobble hat. Thrilling stuff!
Hope whatever your plans are, they don’t get scuppered by the weather.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and I hope that 2025 will be kind to you. Quiet night in - just me, my wife and our youngest (our eldest was in London with his girlfriend, but they'll be here later). Despite the array of nibbles that my wife prepared - both savoury and sweet - I got a 5.7 this morning, which is pretty normal for me.
A bit windy here (it's blown the cover off our garden furniture) but no rain until later according to the forecast. Will try and fit in our usual New Year's Day walk before it arrives. Hope everyone has a good day despite the weather.
