Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all 7.7 for me.

Mr Stupid renewed his membership of the idiots club by forgetting to take his evening levemir. Realised at bedtime due to the upward arrow on the libre. Cautious recalculation of the dose required and not a total disaster.

Have a good day everyone.
 
@Bexlee and @freesia your kids seem more looked after down there, even when it's been pouring the kids up here have still had to go out at their alotted times, sent with wellies, waterproof coats and downstairs even has the wee lasses snowsuit prepared for her for nursery, there have been a lot of parents complaining about it

Also saw on Facebook a parent complaining about a teacher at the high school in the lunch queue, they had pulled their face mask forward clearly to be able to make themself understood but a child took a picture and sent it to their mum, personally we weren't allowed to take pictures in school but never mind

It was good to see @Flower back.
it most certainly was, have missed her a lot, always has a funny quip in her postings here that brings a smile to your face xx
 
5.5 this morning. Very happy with that.

Rain!!! Haven’t seen this for ages.
I hope the stings calms down @eggyg
Happy anniversary @Robin
You have definitely got your head round things quickly @pm133
I have had the flu jab for thirteen years with no issues apart from a bit of a sore arm @HenryBennett , it just seems a good plan to avoid issues that I can.

Have a good day all.

We do get them out as much as possible, if its light rain out they go as 5-7yrs need to burn off some energy i think if we are expecting them to sit and learn. Its only if its heavy rain they stay in break and lunch, though if they have forest school, they still go out x
 
Has anyone heard from @Flower?
She’s around. I saw her on another thread yesterday. :D

Morning folks.:D 3.1 here...I’m up n down with the Tresiba at the mo.😎

It was great to catch up with my fellow knitters yesterday. They’ve all been living pretty solitary lives since March but were really upbeat. Extremely resilient older ladies! 😛
 
08:24BS 5.1 🙂 Just overshot a HS by 1 point today!🙄 But, still in the 5’s so, I’m pretty happy with that! The HS can be a bit elusive like that for me & I miss it by a bit on each side!🙄

I went for a BIG shop of just under £100 from tesco today 13:00 to 14:00 as panic buying has been setting in again & I was left a bit short the last 2 weeks: managed ok 1st week; 2nd week was harder as had even less by the end of that week! So, I’m making as sure as I can I don’t run short this week by ordering loads: if it all comes, I’ll freeze the excess; if not, hopefully enough comes to last me the week!o_O AND, wouldn’t you know, loo roll is the first thing I noticed to run short again: haven’t been able to get any the last 2 shops; WHAT is it about loo roll?😱🙄:D

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
Morning everyone

4.8 for me this morning, kktuime to reduce the Lantus I think

Enjoy your day and stay safe people
 
That’s unusual, @eggyg, for a wasp to leave the sting behind, its normally bees that do that. The old wives remedy is vinegar for wasps, bi-carb for bees, to neutralise the alkali or acid respectively. Though I think an antihistamine trumps both.
That’s what Mr Eggy said. I wonder if it was a bee from the Michaelmas daisy ( I was right beside it) rather than a wasp from the wasp nest? The wasps have never bothered us at all. It’s still stinging but my arm doesn’t feel as achy.
 
Good morning 5.0 on a rainy day temp. a bit cooler today 21.5C.🙂
More shopping today couldn`t carry it all yesterday plus a neighbour
who cooks for me is 80 years young tomorrow, flowers & prezzie time.😎

The right way to go @eggyg with the antihistamine works better than
most remedies hope it feel better soon {{{HUGS}}}.

@pm133 settling in very well good to see, put your hands in warm water
to get the blood circulating before you test but you may get some DP.🙂

Take folks take care stay safe.🙂
 
6.9 - higher than I’d like but given all the c**p I’ve eaten recently it’s not too bad.
Tightening things up again now for the foreseeable future and planning the segue to a full time LCHF 90% Veggie way of eating.
 
So t-shirt that Bruce got me is washed, quote is so right for me just now LOL xx

Flu jabs - yes or no? I’ve never had one, am not an anti-vaxxer, but am wary of the flu jab.
Last year was the first year I had one, I thought with both diabetes and heart disease would be daft not to, I would encourage you to have one but appreciate it is a personal thing.
 
G'day all. Pouring down. 7.8 @ 5.36am

Always have a flu jab but arm was sorer than normal, maybe it's a higher dose of whatever it is just in case. 🙂 I couldn't lie on it for a couple of days, never noticed that before.
 
Ooh think I could do with one of those and lurrve the colour x
I've a second on the way apparently, he held it up last week and wasn't sure it would fit so ordered another in a size up, cheeky bugger! As small will fit me fine, just wait I'll let you all know as will be putting it on tonight xx
