Group 7-day waking average?

Yes you’re right, just less than four weeks ago, that’s three times this year I’ve had a dress on. Two funerals and a wedding! Is that a film? 😉
Not quite but with those grand daughters you will get there eventually although sadly you have already clocked up too many funerals.
Seems an age since you were all glammed up and going for your steam railway ride. That was you wasn't it? Probably less than a year but seems like a lifetime... when things were normal.... anyone remember those days?

Yeah that was me, August 2019. Come back 2019 we miss you! I used to love getting dressed up, spending ages getting ready and applying a face full of makeup. It seems daft putting makeup on now as it’s hidden behind a mask although I did put some mascara on today before going for my big shop! Funnily enough I do put makeup on when we go fell walking, got to look good on the photos! 😛
 
@Kaylz i like the photo and think Bruce looks quite scrummy or am I too old to say that!! I only wear jeans or leggings at home as I wear a dress, skirt or smart trousers to work. @eggyg thide photos of your grandchildren are just brilliant, looks like they should be framed. I remember your special trip last year which sounded amazing.
Had some good news today, all at once.
Nurse has contacted me twice due to ?water infection just to check on me, awaiting results,t from hospital.
Phone call from urology consultants sidekick to confirm appt in London early Feb and to confirm they had the full MDT meeting last week so first op should definitely be next year. Apparently due to government review of all mesh cases only 3 hospitals in the country are allowed to do removals and reconstruction so sounds like I’ll be in good hands.
Call from eye screening offering appt tomorrow.
Feeling quite chipper about it all though quite uncomfortable with abdominal pain - I’ll live lol xx
 
G'day all. Lovely here, all golden and stuff. 7.8 @ 5.56am.

Still reading 'Breakfast Is A Dangerous Meal' and so have given it up as from today. How I got from before 6am to noon I will never know. The thing with lasting out is you end up ravenous and I ate a slice of toast that was meant for the birds, too well done for Mum, but I'll eat owt. 🙄

Fabulous photos of the children. 🙂

I always was told breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It sets you up for the day ahead. I couldn’t possibly not eat breakfast. If I have a hearty breakfast I have a small lunch, soup or crackers. Are you sure this is a good idea skipping brekkie? Remember the old saying “ breakfast like a king, lunch like a Queen, dine like a pauper”.

Say what you like, I told him and he smiled lol, I liked working in the pub as got to wear whatever I wanted, usually jeans but when I was at Savers on my work placement it was black trousers or a black skirt (would never want to work there though) and my placement at Semi Chem was trousers as it was autumn time I was there so too chilly as I was a skeleton (or so a little lad told me, it was Halloween and he was in with his gran and he was telling me what he was dressing as and when I asked what I should dress as he said a skeleton cause I looked like one anyway, this was just a couple of weeks before I was admitted to hospital and diagnosed so he wasn't far wrong to be fair) I'd definitely work there though and probably would be now if I hadn't had to stop my placement prematurely :( xx
 
@Kaylz , you look great in that photo. You make a lovely couple. I hope you soon get to move in together. I wish i was as slim as you, my weight has gone up over the last two years! Last time i went for a checkup at the surgery, the nurse told me off for putting on weight. Well, since i lost 4 stone before being diagnosed, i was quite happy then. The only problem is..its carried on going up despite me not eating like i used to. Blame it on lack of exercise this year lol.
@eggyg, your granddaughters look adorable. I love they are dressed up on the farm.
 
Morning. 6.2 for me today. First up I see. Woke at the witching hour ( mine that is) 4.30, loo trip and settled back down. Awoke to a very constant dripping sound, thought we had a leak as we live in a very old house and it’s raining. Lay awake for a while listening to the Chinese water torture when I realised it was Mr Eggy making the noise! Relieved of course, but annoyed and now I’m wide awake with a splitting headache. Ah well, better start my day! Have a fab Friday everyone. 🙂
 
Morning everyone. 5.5 her in very dark Staffordshire. Levels have been good though the day the last few days then the DF visited yesterday...into double figures after breakfast and stayed that way all day at work before doing a sudden drop just before tea!! Who know why 🙄

Anyway, its Friday!!!! Yay!!! Have a good day folks
 
Morning

Self inflicted 7.2 today, 1 and a half digestives may have been enough 🙄 lol

Better get some more Christmas presents ordered today


@freesia thank you very much, we’re going to join that new system for obtaining a property over the weekend and then properties will be added starting on the 27th, was supposed to be the 16th but the website had technical issues so wasn’t released when it was supposed to be so everything was pushed back, I was a larger child and was bullied for being fat my whole time at both primary and high school but I look at those that bullied me and they are now bigger than me by far, karma I say
xx

Good luck. Fingers crossed for you both.

Definitely. What goes around comes around i say. Thats why i always try to be kind to people x
 
Morning folks. :D 5.3 here...ooo, so close!

Aw, poor Gwennie’s got a manky eye this morning and is feeling veeeery sorry for herself. Hopefully hubby can get a vet’s appointment for today. 🙂
 
Morning all, 4.1 here, just stayed out of the red. Went to the new Lidl in our nearest big town yesterday. Big mistake! Wouldn’t have made a special trip, but we went to the tip and passed it on the way home. It’s been open a week and I wanted to try it. It was heaving, and they weren’t restricting numbers allowed in at all. Everyone was masked and doing their best to distance, but it wasn’t actually possible to keep away from other people. They’d got all their Christmas stuff in, and people were going mad in the Decorations and Christmas biscuits/chocs aisles, which I avoided like the plague. (Literally!)
 
Good luck. Fingers crossed for you both.
Thank you, I appreciate it 🙂

Oh no, hope she's feeling better soon, appointments aren't too difficult to get here but it can be a pain as they still aren't allowing folk in so you hand your pet over at the front door and wait in the car park no matter what the weather! xx
 
@Robin there is nobody manning the door at our Lidl anymore either but mum never seems to run into any crowds, she's due there this afternoon and Bruce after work too, it's probably because it's new, hope you enjoy a Lidl trip sometime, I love Lidl lol xx
 
A miserable 13.2 this morning, pump battery died during the night so my dawn phenomenon got free rein to mess with my blood, 7.3 average for the week wasn’t bad tho

Oh, I love Lidl too, we had a small one in the big town, but they’ve closed it and built a huge new one just across the road. I just hadn’t expected it to be so full, when the old one never seemed that busy. I suspect everyone who normally uses the nearby Sainsbury’s was giving it a try yesterday!
