Group 7-day waking average?

@Lanny why not treat yourself to a Fire TV Stick for £20 or so and watch it on a full-size telly box 🙂

@Kaylz Thanks for the suggestion but I can't guarantee I will be in when it is redelivered and clearly the postie didn't want to leave it as normally stuff for me is left in the shed. Not sure if that is because it is tracked.
Will psych myself up and go to the shop. Hopefully it has been cleaned since I was last in there because it looked pretty grim then... not that I can talk when I spend half my time in a smelly stable and farmyard... but more worried about what can be caught from people than dirt and animals these days.

Through redelivery you can choose a safe place though or even a neighbour, Bruce usually has a note on the door just to leave it but he removed it when Morrison's delivered 2 hours early without warning and left all our shopping on the doorstep! Keeping in mind there's at least 3 outdoor cats downstairs from him 😱 Was just a suggestion as the cards are stating they prefer redelivery than pick up xx
 
@Kaylz Did the cats eat it all or just mug the delivery driver in the hope that they would get tuna? 🙂

Did they heck, got the email receipt and sent Bruce straight down the road to deal with it, couldn't believe they had left all the shopping on the doorstep! They did refund me my delivery charge and gave me a £5 voucher though! There might have actually been a 4 pack of tuna in it as well as I often buy them for Bubbles lol xx
 
A totally unexpected 7.3 for me this morning :( No idea why unless the pesky DF paid me a visit. We have put off the trip to the seaside as the weather is horrible in West Berks this morning. When typing the West came out as Wets which is probably a better description!

They do recommend that you wait at least 24 hours before calling about a freshly applied sensor, have you tried applying it 24 hours before activating it? Often it gives the chance to bed in so not as all over the place when activated, that's what I do so I'll be applying mine tonight to activate tomorrow night xx

Hey @Kaylz, i think there may have been a problem on application. I've never had a problem like it before but it was painful and bled (never had that despite the book saying it can happen). I usually apply it quite a while before activation but was running late yesterday morning and didnt want to do it at work. I spoke to Abbot, told them what happened. They're replacing it and i have to send this one back x
 
Good news is I've dropped to 5.8 by lunch 🙂. No idea what happened this morning.

I had a painful bleeder yesterday too - I had to stick my top n bra straight in the wash to get the blood out. o_O Like the book says, it happens sometimes.🙂
 
Good evening all. Filthy here too. 7.9 @ 6.51am

I had some 5s yesterday and self-sabotaged today. It beggars belief. I must really really hate myself, if not why am I trying my best to do m'self in? 😳

Hey, it’s not easy. Anyone who says it is, is lying.
 
Morning all. A 5.9 today after a rubbish night, hence early posting. Seasonal insomnia. Don’t know why, everything bought and wrapped, food ordered to pick up Tuesday. Who knows? Off to get my hair cut and coloured this morning. I wouldn’t normally chose to go into town the Saturday before Christmas, but I missed my last one as I’d just got out of hospital. Really looking forward to driving round and round the car parks looking for a space! Have a super Saturday whatever you’re up to. Six more sleeps! :D
 
5.4 this morning. I’m surprised because yesterday we broke into the hamper sent to us by my wife’s nephew which contained some biscuits that we couldn’t resist. I guess the simple steak & salad for tea brought me back in line.

As posted elsewhere, I went for my eye screening yesterday. I can’t believe that because a new lockdown in NI, starting on Boxing Day, was announced on Thursday night most people cancelled their appointments for the screening. Surely it makes it more important to have the screening if you don’t know when you might get another appointment?
 
7 on the nose today and just done my Covid test. Ugh certainly makes you gag, let’s hope the courier turns up.
@eggyg good luck with your hunt for a parking space. Glad you’re going to be looking your best for the Strictly final :D
Have a good day all x
 
Morning all
5.8 today

Blessings Snowwy
 
I had a rather lowly 4.1 earlier. 🙂
It has since soared up to a more respectable 5.1. :D

I'm up there with you @Michael12421 in the 9s. 9.5 for me and a wiggly horizontal-ish line all night. A combination of too much protein last night and not enough exercise yesterday. I increased my Levemir at bedtime to 2.5 but clearly not enough. Must do lots of exercise today to get back on track and must learn to buy much less meat and fish now that I am on my own....or get a bigger freezer.

I might even put a frock on. HRVY do you think? Or will Joe Public surprise us and pick Bill? Can’t wait.
