Group 7-day waking average?

Afternoon all. 5.8 for me this morning. Been busy cleaning as got a couple staying in our little AirBnB here this weekend. I had to drive up the drive (about 100 meters max) as the rain and wind are so strong I thought my linen basket full of newly ironing sheets would be soaked if I walked up! They've been delayed in traffic as driving up from London so I've set myself an alarm on my phone to go up in 20 minutes to light the stove and put in the snowdrops, daffs and crocuses I've picked from the garden. Hubby is on his first Mountain Rescue callout since he's been officially allowed out on shouts. Why anyone is up in the hills today is beyond me as it is WILD! One of my dogs has just eaten a dahlia tuber that was delivered the other day - There were about 10 in the box so I'm glad he only had one and I think it was a tiny one. I've googled it and I think the worst he may get is a dodgy tummy - worst thing is that I looked at the empty bag and it was such a lovely colour one that I'd ordered :( Have a lovely weekend everyone xxx
 
Most of you know I have been having trouble getting an appointment for eye treatment with Spa Medica, and after yesterday visiting my doctor I thought we were at last getting somewhere.

As far as I knew when we left the surgery he had tasked someone to refer me back to Spa Medica, I noticed my NHS had changed saying the referral was pending, the only odd thing I noticed was it wasn’t my GP, but another one, but thought nothing of it, until this afternoon I got an email saying my referral had gone through and to expect a call shortly, I opened the App only to fine the referral was to my local hospital AGAIN so another trip to the doctors only to find that my Optician had sent a letter to our doctors, the day before I saw my Doctor

Yesterday hence the wrong doctors name, had sent it not knowing I can’t go to hospital, so they have had to cancel that and now I have to wait until my doctor is back on duty on Monday and the practice manager will ask him to refer me directly tot Soa Medica, my mental heath is rock bottom blood pressure is through the roof.

My retriever ate a whole pack of cat worming tablets and I rang the vet in a panic, he said to make her sick by putting mustard or a washing soda crystal on the back of her tongue. I worked, so no harm done.

The bulb may come out quicker than that if my dogs experience is anything to go by.
When we had Ridgebacks one of them managed to open and then eat a full Tin of Quality Street one Xmas and left no evidence.
We feared the worst but the dog showed no signs of ill health at all.
In fact the only evidence of her guilt was the endless glittery wrappers entwined in her poo over the following days.
 
Evening all - today started with filthy weather, nasty rain and fierce wind. We'd arranged to meet friends in town but thought we'd not go in the horrid weather. The sun came out by about noon, so we braved it and went.

The phone alarm went off at 7:30 although I swear I hadn't set it, so that was a mystery. I was 6.3. I tried to sleep some more, but that was a waste of time! Anyway eventually I realised I was pain-free for the first time this week much to my relief, so I got up and got a cuppa. Goodness knows what all the pain has been about, but it's definitely not been in my imagination. First thing I did was check my email and discovered that Omnipod were about to send me 3 month's worth of pods automatically. I don't want them as a. I have 19 pods left and b. My DSN is ordering the Ypsopump for me. So I got on the phone and held on, and held on. I could have pressed 1 to get a call back, but I needed to get in the shower... so I wasted half the morning hanging onto the phone.

First stop in town was Boots to collect both our prescriptions and deposit the empty pill strips we'd taken with us. It was more complicated than just pushing them into the slots in the box if we wanted to get the points on the Advantage card, so decided to come home and look up the actual method on the website before dumping them. Ho hum....

Spent a very pleasant afternoon with our friends and have only just got home.

Congratulations to @Pam123 and @Quill on your HSs.

@Pam123 so sorry you are still fighting for your eye treatment. Best of luck.

Hope you've all had a good day.

The same retriever ate a whole box of liqueur chocolates with no ill effect other than having a silly grin and looking guilty.

Always best to get them checked out though most dog wormers are similar chemistry to cat wormers although different worms are considered core in cats and dogs.
The one drug you have to be very aware of is permethrin which is licensed for fleas and ticks in dogs but not widely used and can be very toxic if used in cats.

If it comes out the other end still in one piece I may plant it anyway!
 
Morning last post and now first up unless I make it a very long post and someone beats me 🙂
A 6.1 for me and average BG back to lowest level for nearly a year after a 3u correction to deal with Pizza and seem to have judged it OK as came down from 9 to a very flat 6 in the wee hours.
Broke a tooth yesterday right at front so not a good look but getting it sorted on Monday.Have always been lucky in that having a good GPs and good dentist for last 40 years and never really needed a good optician.
Won’t be going too far maybe just coffee and cake at a local garden centre and a quiet w/ end.
Have a good w/end all
 
Morning all
5.8 for me perfick
you all take care and have a good safe day

Morning all. 5.6 and it’s the weekend again! Not that it makes any difference if you’re a retiree.

It’ll be March this time next week. Wow! Going into town today, probably after lunch as it will be quieter. Can’t remember the last time we were in town on a Saturday, no doubt it will just be as quiet as it is through the week. There’s barely any shops left in Carlisle, no department stores at all, House of Fraser closed last summer. We’ve currently three great big department stores lying empty. Debenhams, Hoopers and HoF, to be fair Tesco are currently making that into a Tesco Metro, that’s only because their town store closed two years ago because of RAAC. It’s really sad. Plenty of barbers and charity shops though. 🙄

Apart from the “excitement” of visiting the Metropolis of the big city, I’ll be stuffing pasta shells with mozzarella, mascarpone, basil and garlic, as you do. 😉

Hope your weekend is more exciting than mine.
 
Good morning! 6'4.

My weekly TIR is 90%, for the first time in 3 or 4 months. That feels good. It must also be the first time in these months that I get a percentage of "under range", but is just a 2%. Better than having a 35 % over range!
