Group 7-day waking average?

Personally I think they are ugly as well as dangerous and anyone paying 8k to lie down in them has far too much money!

I still have some heels that I wear on occasion, but nothing above 3 inches and the less you wear them the harder it is, especially when you spend the rest of your life in wellies or riding boots or trainers or slippers. I am not ready to say goodbye to them yet though!

Apparently they’re designed as “art” and are in a museum. I think they’re hideous.
 
Good morning! Woke from a violent dream to a HS and downward arrow (45 degree not vertical(. Having a small snack the back to bed as early doors physiotherapy.

Cloudy and very cold. BBC said snow on its way so might need skis on the wheels! :rofl:. Limb Fitting has a picture of a one legged snowboarder but took it down as most of here struggling to walk!

Thought I’d be first up but beaten to it by @MikeyBikey (congratulations on your HS, despite it being a bad waking up).

I didn’t have a bad dream though, just a failed sensor message and feeling hypo I had to resort to the old FP testing, which meant hauling myself out of bed, downstairs to the kitchen 😡. It was 3.3, so like my fellow early wake I am having a snack before returning to bed.

Sensor fault form completed to Abbott. This is the second sensor in a row that failed early at 11 days.
 
Morning all. I thought I’d be first up! 7.1, but I did get a -5.2 on my weather thingymabaob. 😉 Does that count?
I’m up at the crack as Mr Eggy’s phone made a really peculiar sound at about 4.20, he leaves the sound on incase of mother problems, she’s still in hospital, four weeks now. Visiting restrictions were lifted on Tuesday so he went to see her, no change from when he last saw her 10 days ago. Not eating or drinking voluntarily and just sleeping all the time. Anyhoo, the sound woke me and the old internal monologue started, the legs started twitching, the nose started running, the coughing started and I had a headache. Got up at 5am. Banked up the coal fire last night so I’m currently ensconced in the living room all cosy. I usually sit in the kitchen but it’s only 12 degrees, I have flicked the heating on, so it might rise to about 14 in about two hours! The frozen north, who’d live here? Off out today for a haircut, then picking up my new specs, a bit of book buying as I have a £20 voucher for Waterstones, visit to butcher, then lunch out and Aldi big shop on the way home. I might have to dust off my big coat!

Have a good day. Keep warm and maybe put a vest on if you live down south! 😛

Good morning 🙂
Woke up at 9.9 for some reason, the diabetes fairy obviously wasn't happy with me overnight. I think we are about the only part of the UK that hasn't had snow, just a bit of wet sleet yesterday afternoon.
I wonder what will happen at work today, now that we have no manager and the owner is banned from the premises by the police.
I am guessing CQC and/or social services will put some kind of intervention in place, but the residents still need to be fed in the meantime, so I'll carry on as normal until I'm told otherwise.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.4
BP high. Not surprising as my wife is not well.come to think of it (which stresses me out), I am not well with my hip/leg still giving me problems (but improving day by day). I will mention the high blood pressure when I see a nurse next week (if it doesn't settle down)

Today continuing with collecting dog images for part of my Thought Guardian App. I have quite a few and just a few more to go. What else can I do as I am effectively incapacitated.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Good morning - 8.9

Have a great day everyone.

WOW! what is that gadget @eggyg I want one. :starstruck:
It was a +5.3 for me inside and -3ºC outside this morning. 🙂
A belated happy birthday @Pam123
Stay warm and well everyone.

Morning lovelies! 🙂

7 for me!
It’s -5°c here this morning so no major plans for the day, definitely staying in bed a bit longer though heheh!
 
Update: today is 'put the bins out' day.

At 6:30 am I decide to sort them. Of course it starts to snow at that very moment. Not deterred I keep going only to find that I cannot open the garden gate. It was frozen solid!!! It took 2 full kettles of boiling water to free it up.

By the time I had got the bins out it was just before 7am (the council demanded time) and I was more than a little cold.

I am glad that I managed it as the bins are very full.

It had not crossed my mind that the locks would be frozen solid!

Have a great day, keep warm and safe.
 
Morning all. 7.0 for me on waking, on another VERY chilly morning. Not nearly so flat yesterday as previous days, though still 93% TIR, so it's largely irrelevant. Pretty flat night - I got woken by a compression-low alarm a little after 4am. Thankfully I had the presence of mind to do a finger-prick test (6.2 ContourNext meter), so I entered a calibration in the G7 app and went back to sleep.

Morning everyone

6.0

Met up with family [my folks, one cousin here from Israel, one from Kazakhstan, mums niece (who’s older than her) and her brother (the niece’s brother) and his wife] most of whom I’ve not seen in person for a long time. That was fun catching up over stupidly priced food in an average restaurant that happens to be kosher. I had shakshuka and a coffee and it was £32.

Olivier panel zoom call this afternoon. That’s all for me other than to say it’s good to see you back @Gwynn
 
Morning all, I think I’ll go back to sleep and pretend today isn’t happening.
9.6 BG, been rising steadily all night.
Have a stinking cold, which was brewing up yesterday and I’ve woken up feeling limp and achey.
It’s my birthday.

Oh no Robin. Happy (ish) Birthday. Hope you have the best day you can. It’s too cold to do anything anyways. Snuggle up with a good book and copious cups of tea. Sending hugs.
 
Good morning 5.8 today

nothing much planned today for me, Mrs @goodybags reminded me yesterday I’m supposed to be at home & relaxing, so mostly today I shall be.
Good to see @Gwynn back on here this morning, Happy Birthday @Robin, but sorry to see you are unwell on your Birthday

TC

Hope you’re on the mend soon @Robin and that you can enjoy your birthday a bit 🙂 xo
 
Morning All - 8.6 this morning. Low alarm went off twice in the night but I felt that I'd been lying on my left side and sure enough it started to go up when I moved position. Still really snowy here, like thick proper stuff even though we haven't had any new since Monday lunchtime. I popped my "snowed-in" bubble last night as we ventured off down to the village for a curry in the pub - they do Community Wednesday meals for only £9 per main course. It was really fun as everyone there was from our lane/fell and we all sat at one long table. The other fun thing was that at the end we all went away with parcels because the DPD driver couldn't get up the hill so had left them all at the pub for us (the landlady checked with us all that that was OK). We feel so lucky to have moved into such a lovely community - remote we may be, but lonely we are not. Earlier in the day another couple who live even higher up but were out and about in their 4x4 picked up another parcel that had been left at the village shop and drove all the way over to me to deliver it. Today I've got an on-line Pilates class (wish I could just stay in my dressing gown) and then hubby and I are going to venture off on a walk up Loadpot Hill to see the amazing views. He's been skiing the last 4 days - yesterday as part of his Mountain Rescue training they were skiing up on Helvellyn. Have a good day everyone xxx Oh and @eggyg I can confirm that Grasmere Gingerbread freezes perfectly! I defrosted the first batch yesterday and they were exactly the same consistency as when you buy it fresh :thankyou:
