Group 7-day waking average?

Crikey! What a long sleep-in I've just had. 😳
A nice round 5 when I finally woke.

I don’t test before I get out of bed. It’s not practical for me,

Same here @eggyg Out of bed, visit the bathroom for wee and weigh-in then downstairs, put the kettle on and then test whilst waiting for it to boil. I then take two cups of tea up to bed and wake the wife.
 
A 5.6 for me at 07:37 this morning. Another dull and grey one here in West Berkshire. No frost so ventured out to do the chickens in my dressing gown again.

Busy evening taking the Christmas decorations down yesterday. Getting the decorations down wasn't too bad, but hoovering up the pine needles having got the tree out the house took forever! I love real trees until the day you have to take them down.

After the success of the fresh, home made Thai green curry last week I'm making a Thai red curry tonight. The wife will regret buying me a Thai cookbook for Christmas!

When we bought a house in NI the first thing the solicitor said was, “Don’t be alarmed. I know that in England it’s the exception that houses are leasehold, but in Northern Ireland it’s the exception that they’re freehold. It goes back to James II.”

Reason for mentioning this? I’d love to keep chickens but our lease prevents us! I’ve no idea why - it goes back a long way.
 
5.3 and only just got up @ 10am

Fortunately we have a large garden with a fenced off orchard (few apple and damson trees). The chickens have free range in the orchard. If we let them in the main garden they dig massive holes in the flower beds and make a right mess
 
So got a Morrison's delivery due tonight, who thinks everything will be there as it should?

Also see the prices are increasing again, own brand biscuits up 5p a pack since I placed my order at the end of December!

@rebrascora so glad your horse is better this morning, now concentrate on yourself. I have come home early from work as was too worried about Misty. Was hoping my husband would be furloughed as he was in March but not yet. She hasn’t eaten anything at all, probably best, but so very unlike her, as with most dogs she will eat mostly anything. Very quiet and will wait and see how she goes before taking her to the vet, hopefully just a tummy bug. No insurance and need a bank loan just to get through the door!!
@Kaylz I reckon if we are honest most of us have some sort of ‘problem’, yours is OCD related and germs etc, mine is food and others could be cleaning etc, just differences perhaps on the extent of it. No-one should think you’re nuts or we would all be in that bracket xx

I was reading an article the other day and apparently OCD sufferers are more likely to also develop eating disorders so maybe mines wasn't ALL linked to the Type 1 diagnosis, who knows!

Have you got any porridge in the house? Eggs? xx
 
Morning all. :D 3.3 here...oops, that’ll be the cleaning session yesterday.

Another lovely sunny but cold morning here again. There were even sneaky sheets of ice on the beach - hilarious watching people n dogs sliding around!o_O😉
 
@SueEK - My dog, Missy, will eat anything and everything especially disgusting things she finds in the campo. There are times however when she refuses to eat at all. I now no longer worry about it as she will eat when she feels like it so I leave her food down in the kitchen and eventually she will eat it. I hope that Misty recovers in her/his own good time. Give it a couple of days and if then she still does not eat then it will be necessary to visit the vet.

My husband has Quaker Oats but I’m not keen on them, I like ready brek but I think that’s quite high and yes I like eggs and always have them in. Had your chicken with mozzarella and prosciutto the other day, was nice.
I think with OCD one problem can trigger off other things and it just snowballs. It you seem to be slowly overcoming some areas which is great x
 
@SueEK I know it's expensive but I'd get Misty booked in ASAP as they could administer an anti sickness injection meaning at least she won't become too dehydrated xx

😳 I meant to try Misty on plain cooked porridge or scrambled eggs, that's what our dog tolerated best through her numerous bouts of sickness

Glad you liked the chicken, we had it last night
xx
 
@SueEK 2 other things she managed were plain boiled rice and custard just made from powder (obviously without sugar) all suggested by our vet xx

Thanks luv, she has just this minute had a very small amount I put down if her food and a drink of water, will see if she manages to keep that down. I have some fish in the freezer for her so was thinking I would do that later if she hadn’t eaten. Blooming pets, they can be a worry but thanks for your suggestions, I will take note of them xx

Misty is muzzled when off the lead so fortunately she can’t eat anything she finds outside but possibly a fox left something in our garden, who knows. It was the sickness and diarrhoea that concerned me but my husband gives her food off his plate which really irritates me so it could be she has had something that didn’t agree with her x
