Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 🙂 8.1 here.

Well, I gave myself a very dodgy haircut yesterday - think Jason Donovan circa 1990 / classic Ozzie mullet, for the youngsters to get an idea. Will have to have another go today. It’ll either end up looking like I used a bowl as a guide, or I’ll just have another no.3 or thereabouts. Lockdown hair ROCKS!!!😎

Self-administered haircuts are NEVER a good idea. Just saying😎
 
@Bloden i gave my fringe a little trim yesterday, had to cut it with glasses off! It looked great then but not so good when they were back on!
6.3 for me it seems to be my favourite!!
Dry and crisp here off for a walk in minute for a cup of tea on he grit bin cafe!!

my shaved side is needing the clippers run over again but my longer side really needs cut! I just stick it up in a bobble cause it annoys me xx
 
5.3 this morning. Chicken and cheese sauce to look forward to tonight.
 
6.8 for me on what is probably going to be another boring day but back to work tomorrow. Hope you feel better soon @Gruers .
Enjoy your Sunday if you can x
 
Morning everyone. Libre showed 10.8 with a spike overnight, finger prick 8.8. Its the last 2 days of the sensor and its been a good one up to now.
I definitely need a haircut! Each time we've had a lockdown i've been unable to get my hair cut and coloured before. My hair is shoulder length and layered so its not too bad if it just grows but i need to cut the fringe again. @SaraKaya i know what you mean about cutting your fringe with your glasses off!! I can't see!! The worst thing is the colour. I now have 2" roots with SO MUCH grey!!! 😱 o_O
Have a good day everyone. Looks nice but cold out there x
 
Morning all. 6.1 after a long lie for a change. Apparently I missed a fabulous sunrise, daughter number two thoughtfully messaged me to let me know! Role reversal or what? If I’d woken her at 7.50am on a Sunday morning when she lived at home, I would have been in BIG trouble. On the hair subject, Mr Eggy remarked this morning that my hair looked very fluffy! I have short spiky hair normally and get it cut every three weeks whether it needs it or not. Haven’t had it cut since December 19th. In lockdown 1.0 I went 23 weeks without a haircut! I never attempted to cut or colour it myself as my hairdresser had made death threats if I did! No one sees me and unlike the first time the weather permits us to wear a hat! Covers a multitude of sins! 🙂 Enjoy your day, stay safe and wear a hat.😉
 
4.4 and another deep sleep the treadmill late evenings helps me sleep.
 
6.1 for me this morning after a 2 Hypo Hero carb boost at 3am when I dropped to 3.6 but that was because I shot myself 5 units of Levemir last night (an increase of 3 units) because I spent all day yesterday feeding in 2 unit corrections of Fiasp to try to prevent me going into double figures. Had another dog incident with the chickens yesterday so I got really stressed and my levels shot up. Getting really sick of people coming into the countryside and just thinking it is OK to let their dogs roam.
We had a bit of a major Police incident here last night. A local derelict factory which is in a very rural location had been identified as a suitable location for a rave. The Police got wind of it and staked it out all afternoon and evening and the helicopter was up overhead for more than an hour at 10pm. Don't know how many arrests were made but there was definitely a result. Dread to think how much the Police operation cost. No idea how most of the attendees got there considering how remote it is (surely parents didn't drop them off) but there were disgruntled kids being herded down the road by police towards the village last night according to a guy who lives in a cottage just below the factory. I would imagine it may have made the news but without a TV I have no way of knowing.... maybe just local news. The factory is just half a mile from my house, so the helicopter was pretty loud overhead.

We had a smattering of snow between 9pm and 10 pm and a lovely full moon so it was surprisingly light during the night and a crisp, clean, bright start to the day.

As regards haircuts, I have long hair so just cut it myself. I give my fringe a regular trim every 6 weeks or so and the length gets 3 or 4 inches cut off about twice a year. I have decided I want to dip dye the bottom 3-4 inches a radical colour.... either bright blue or purple or turquoise I think. I have ordered the bleach but still have to decide on the colour. If it all goes horribly wrong, I will just cut off the colour and be back to where I started, so no great risk. I wear it plaited or in a pony tail most of the time or clipped up if I am going out... chance would be a fine thing!!.... so the cut doesn't matter too much.

Go for it @rebrascora! One of my girls dyed her hair. She told me it was green 😱 . When i saw it the top layer was black, underneath it was teal. Looked really nice. I'm not brave enough for bright colours.
 
Morning, late today forgot to post at 8am but it’s an 8.4 for me.

Popping to the market this morning as it appears Asda don’t have a lot of stock of fruit and veg so none came in my delivery last night grrrrr

@rebrascora go for it. I’m naturally grey these days so I let my hairdresser choose what colour to go for, not normally one for bright colours but last year went neon pink lol

have a good day all

Good morning all, another late check in - 6.4 this morning.

Had my lowest readings so far yesterday, so i'll post a message on the General Messages board rather than discuss here.

Have a great day everyone 🙂

I might dip dye my bottom 3 or 4 inches too.

It’d certainly confuse the DN next time she goes to tickle my feet.

6.6 for me today, partner seems OK after his jab Im still unsure about

What are you unsure about?

Dad’s had his two jabs and is fine. Mum’s had her first and is fine.
 
Birthday tea on Zoom yesterday with egg butter (from diet doctor - but basically just hard boiled eggs mashed into butter and seasoned), one of the two seeded loaves I made yesterday, smoked salmon, Brie and the deliciousness of that chocolate cake which came thanks to Gnom-gnom

Bought myself a copy of Keto Kitchen which is seriously impressive. The writer used to work for Heston (Blumenthal not Services) and really knows her stuff. Each recipe looks genuinely appealing and it’s not a low carb/keto book half full of science but is a traditional cookbook which just happens to be low carb/keto.

The bread below is from Keto Kitchen and is her seeded loaf. It’s basically just almond meal, seeds and egg whites and it’s delicious.

Oh and BG this morning was a rather content 5.9

Rounded off my birthday yesterday by popping loads of individually wrapped slices of cake into the freezer and watching The Dig on Netflix. It’s good 🙂
