Group 7-day waking average?

HOUSE! 🙂 Well @ColinUK needs a bit of competition.

Morning all,
Pre run 5.5 this morning.
Great excitement in our road this morning, an oversize skip on one side and a bulk delivery opposit placed near the kerb.
Dustcart due this morning, not sure if we will get our bins emptied if they don't get through 😱 !
I did tell the delivery operator...

I’m glad you said that, I was convinced I'd woken up to the sound of rain this morning, but when I actually got out of bed and looked out, it was a beautiful sunny morning, so I thought I must have dreamed it. It prompted me to check our neighbour's weather station recordings online, and sure enough we had two showers around 7am!
 
Morning all, beautiful again here but raining last night. LOL at MrEggy.

7.5 @ 6.49am I'm hoping this will go down if I keep eschewing breakfast. 🙂 I just wish I didn't get up so early. It's a long time till lunch. When I was a teenager I sometimes didn't get up till one in the afternoon! Good grief, I cannot imagine that now.

Blurb states: 'Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but only if we skip it. Since Victorian times, we have been told to breakfast like kings and dine like paupers. In the wake of his own type 2 diabetes diagnosis, Professor Terence Kealey was given the same advice... '
 
3.3 for me I'm afraid but I was a nice 5.6 an hour earlier. Wish I had just got up then. Teach me to be lazy and have a lie in!

Well done Dez @MeeTooTeeTwo Good to see you are back on form and giving Colin some competition.

Starting to really worry about Ted. @KARNAK if you are out there reading this, stop winding us up and please post something!..... and you better have a good excuse for absence😉.... hoping it doesn't involve blue light taxis though!

I also miss @Grannylorraine Hope you are keeping well if you read this and maybe think about coming back??
 
@Ditto The longer I sleep, the lower my levels go, even if I get up in the night to go to the loo and then go back to sleep.
I know it is difficult with you being a carer but getting more sleep really could improve your readings.
 
Well that's the end of that little run! 5.6 this morning 🙂
And EdF have been to install the smart meters - they were ridiculously COVID compliant but it does help that the meters are in an external boiler house so he didn't need to come inside at all.
They've left me with a little smart monitor thing which has to be the ugliest thing I've ever seen. It's going to be left plugged in somewhere out of sight it's so ugly!

Anyway... have a great day folks and folksesses!

Yes you are so right. Where is Ted @KARNAK and haven’t seen @Grannylorraine for a long time. Hope all is ok

We keep refusing a smart meter, though they did turn up about 18 months ago and install a non smart meter.
 
@Ditto was the reading when you got up? 6:49am? That's a long lie to me, I'm up 5:30am at the latest, won't even get an extra hour on my birthday as got to get up as mum will be off to work come 6:20am 🙄

@SueEK , @grovesy is right, Lorraine left the forum but she is ok
xx
 
@ColinUK what does yours look like then? Ours is like a wee flat screen and not what I'd call "ugly" xx
 
18:28 BS 6.6🙂 Yay! That’s more like it!:D An EXTREMELY late Little Miss Sleepy reporting in when you lot are probably starting to wind down towards the end of the day BUT, I feel SO much better after a 13/14 hour sleep with a break here & there for toilet trips & midday meds & basal.😛 Nope! NOT blushing as I NEEDED it!:D😉

Obviously WAY too late for a greeting, not EVEN for the day it’s SO late, so, I hope you all had a Good Day? 😉

I had a much better BS day in that there were only 2 readings over 10 & it was 10.2 after breakfast & 10.8 for midday meds & basal. The rest were all 6’s & 5’s before & 8’s & 7’s after meals! 😛 AND with BS under control, I felt SO much better. I dialled down the midday LR by -2 but, still at the increased dose of 66, I had planned 64 the day before yesterday but, instinctively put in 68 & it seems it was right as BS was mostly in range, & resisted a bolus correction as I was still going to sleep some more; I thought about a -4 reduction in basal as I was getting better; compromised by a -2 reduction instead & woke in the 6’s!:D TA DAH! Don’t you just LOVE when things go to plan?🙄😉

Already had breakfast & just sitting down to watch It Takes Two, saw that Nicola is sadly out of the competition now with Katya resting positive yesterday, & then, the highlights of The Masters on Day 1: apparently with NO patrons, as the Americans call the public, & the BBC team didn’t go out to Augusta this year & are in the UK studio! BUT, I’m SO PLEASED it’s being played AT ALL I don’t care! There’s been NO golf at all, or much sport of any kind, all year until now & I’m going to enjoy watching The Masters SO much! 😛😎:D😉

Hey! Just realised! I CAN give you lovely lot A greeting after all, just not usual one! I wish you all a GOOD NIGHT! :D😛😉

PS: That’s a lovely dress you posted yesterday @Kaylz & you look good in it but, you don’t look very at ease! The grass always seems to look greener on the other side when it comes to self image: I’ve always wished I had a thinner waistline like my younger sister; my younger sister has always wished she had a bosom like mine! 🙄:D😉 But, really I’ve come to terms with what I AM & not afraid to wear bright colours like red, my favourite, & cobalt!😎 That’s what my younger sister has said in the past she needed to wear, sunglasses, at my colour choices at special events!🙄:D It’s all about confidence!🙂 I’m not afraid to stand out: maybe to do with my nose, that couldn’t be hidden, & my primary school days of fighting anyone who called me names; got used to being stared at & I couldn’t NOT escape notice so, I was always boldly in the front row for a better look at things! I’ve never been a back row kind of person!🙄:D Children can be cruel & I grew up to find adluts are much kinder & more tolerant of differences, in general!🙂
 
Kaylz said:
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

Same here. When I took her to the vet’s recently for her booster jabs, the heavens opened just as the vet got to my car to pick her up...one very wet vet.o_O She’s got an appointment for tomorrow, so we’ll see. Her eye doesn’t look too bad now, no more green gunk anyway.😳

Scottish Power keep badgering us about installing them here but so far I've managed to put it off by not responding to their texts and emails asking us to arrange an appointment. If they press the point I'm going to say that we have two people WFH and they can't afford to be off-line for any length of time, my wife especially as she has a global support role for a major multi-national.

Out of interest how long was your power off? I'm sure I read somewhere that it can be up to 4 hours.

Electricity was off for about 10 minutes and gas for about 30. The whole process was over and done with in about 40 mins from start to finish.

This is the type they’ve installed. The one at the top of this page.
https://www.edfenergy.com/smart-meters/using-a-smart-meter

Obviously I don’t need to keep it plugged in but it’s just a bit, erm, dull I guess. I might have to decorate it or find somewhere out of the way to plug it in.
It’s not as if I’m wasteful of energy at all and there’s only me so I can’t exactly use much less electricity or gas!
 
Morning all,
A 5.1 this morning... sooo close!
In the middle of another 'lockdown ' project, transferring old vhs videos to digital so I can scrap the old technology.
It takes sooo long though!
Still, found some classic ones of the kids, must be able to get a 'Dad you are so embarrassing ' response out of them at some point!
