Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all,
A 5.7 this Monday morning...

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning. 6.2 for me. I’m up five hours earlier than yesterday. Think my anxiety works Mon-Fri. 5-9, Sorry Dolly! 😉 I woke up at 4.30, really hot and sweaty, been a bit milder through the night I expect. Then the brain starts, nothing important just a random load of rubbish. For example. What the heck was that bird I saw when we climbed Bowscale Fell, in September! Not important but it was driving me mad so had to get up to look in my bird spotter jotter, of course as soon as I stepped on to the stairs I remembered, a stonechat if you’re interested! So I’m up now. I’ll read my Harlan Coben. Have a good day all.🙂
 
4.8 for me on this Monday morning. 🙂

Morning

6.8 for me
xx
 
Morning all. 4.5 for me this morning, despite having 2 JBs before my shower, its stayed the same now its breakfast time. Juice it is then with my porridge.
Not feeling great this morning. Am well physically but just feel like i want to cry with everything atm. Game face on in the class, hopefully the day will go quick.
Have a good day everyone.
 
@freesia sorry to hear your feeling so low, I am too so completely understand, mines hasn't been helped either seen as my dad text me yesterday saying he has no money so I won't be getting a birthday card this year, no matter how skint I've been he's always gotten a card and gift on every occasion but £2 max is too much to spare for him 🙄 I hope your mood lifts soon my lovely xx
 
Morning all, 5.5 here. Groping my way to the supermarket soon, it looks a bit foggy out there.
4am is my Nemesis too, @eggyg. Wake up and worry! Problems get themselves all out of perspective then, if I'm stressed. Did you check your blood glucose? I often feel more anxious if mine's low, and 4am is when it hits the bottom of the trace for me.
 
Well I am claiming a "Colin" Special this morning although it was slightly engineered by 3 jelly beans earlier in the morning to keep me afloat.

Thanks to everyone for their sympathy and support over the dog attack. Sadly not the first, nor will it be the last which is probably why I didn't rant and rave at her.... she knew it was her fault.... can't blame the dog. It was good as gold and came to me (a complete stranger) and let me take the chicken out of it's mouth. Such a shame, as it was a lovely afternoon and they were enjoying the autumn sunshine in the garden. Didn't dare let them out yesterday but then it was a miserable day anyway.
Have to say I really struggled mentally yesterday and BG levels were on a roller coaster between 3.5 and 13 and didn't tarry much in between. I didn't get any exercise yesterday either which I know didn't help and I didn't eat properly, just snacked here and there on low carb stuff.
Waking up this morning on 5.2 was just what I needed to turn things around and it helps that the sun is shining and it is not raining, so hopefully today will be a better day.

Hope everyone has a gud'un!
 
After a weekend when my pancreas seemed to take a holiday with a 6.0 on Saturday and Sunday it's got back to work on this dull and dreary Monday morning with a 5.0 at 06:23 🙂
 
Well forgot when I posted that it's my 4 year diaversary today, grandad has just been in with shopping for their teas and dropped off a 6 week supply of Aldi's Moser Roth 85% and 2 packs of their Sour Cherry & Chilli Mousse Au Chocolat and 1 pack of the Orange Mousse Au Chocolate, shame it's not a gift! lol xx

Happy (if that’s the word) diaversary! What a lovely treat! I just bought some 90% Godiva in the co-op, because it was on special offer and the same price as my usual 85% co-op own brand. Not tried it before, It’s the first 90% I’ve bought since March since the co-op don't stock the Lindt!

If I'd known I could have sent you a couple of bars of Lindt 90%, I bought about 14 bars off the web shop the first lockdown as nowhere in my town stocks it and I've moved on to Lidl's own 95%, only £1.49 a pack and bigger squares lol, only gave the 90% to my mum a couple of weeks ago too xx

Aw, thank you for the thought. Ive just tried a square of the Godiva with my coffee, I’m a convert! Bet it won’t be on special offer for long, must stock up while I can!

I haven't seen it anywhere but then again down my end of the town we only have a Premier and a Scotmid, don't know how much you got it for but if you are near an Asda at any point they have it on 2 for £3 just now, I'll be sure to try some if I come across it xx
 
4.7 this morning. Feel fighting fit to face whatever joys this week brings!

And does anyone have any decent alcohol free, low carb, recipes for Christmas cake and Christmas pudding? I’m going to assume we can’t have a normal family gathering so I’m going to make my own. It’ll be big enough to share and my bubble mate is teetotal hence the added consideration.
