Group 7-day waking average?

Virtual smack on your butt, lesson learned, now wright down, I don't want a Chinese takeaway 100 times.
Yah, 1,000 times!!
 
You maybe didn't make the best choice from the menu but don't let it put you off experimenting with Chinese
Barbara, I guess we’re a bit spoilt. When we lived in Bushey and then Watford we had a really superb Chinese takeaway nearby. Watford had a couple of excellent Chinese restaurants too. The takeaway was owned by the same family throughout and we grew along with them over the years. The couple couldn’t get their children interested in the business in any way.

We’ve subsequently found the Chinese takeaways here in NI generally very anglicised. The one across the road is poor, though there are a couple a bit further away that are quite good. I should have gone to the trouble of driving a bit further. I agree that you need to get to know their menu. Over a period of 25+ years we had a dozen favourite dishes. Since my diagnosis I’ve cut back on takeaways.

Good to chat. I hope your weather is better than our rain, rain and more rain.
 
Good afternoon all. Lovely and sunny here. 7.2 @ 5.20am but went back to bed till 11 after watching The Sopranos... life of riley. Lol at the Scots, tears of laughter, set me up for the day. One of Mum's boyfriends was from Aberdeen, in all the decades I knew him I never understood a word he said. Irish is as bad, my schoolfriends used to ask me what my ol' Da was saying. :D

Is that a cat by the woodburner? Good grief, I thought it was a dog! Cutiepie. 🙂
 
@HenryBennett
Rain, rain and more rain here too sadly! Not enjoying trudging through mud everyday and worrying about rising water levels, as you do when you live in the bottom of a valley!
 
Thanks for that! 🙂

Hilariously funny! :D

That’s a problem with Siri too: never thought I had much, if any, of an Northern Irish accent; Siri problems initially told me otherwise but, the good thing is you can keep trying with a definition after saying the word or type in the alternatives Siri gives you & persevere until Siri gets used to your voice! 🙄
 
Only because it’s YOU Dez, @MeeTooTeeTwo ! 😉

The Northern Irish are NOT as bad as that OR maybe I HAVEN’T been exposed so much to it being a nicely brought up Chinese girl who learnt her English in school: friends, growing up, have always said I don’t really have an accent; adults say I have a school’s accent! 🙄:D😉
 
🙂
 
@MeeTooTeeTwo Im very offended, such fuc...g bad language!!!
 
5.7 this morning for me.
Not quite awake yet if I’m honest so give back to bed for a couple of hours. See you in a bit x
 
Congrats @Northerner on the HS. 🙂
4.5 for me.🙂
My first vaccine jab this afternoon. 🙂

5.2 this morning at 6am. Cold out there this morning.

Weight is down to 66.8Kg. Getting closer to my goal which , hopefully, I should reach in February at some point. BMI is now 25.1

All good news.
 
Morning all,
5.8 again for me today.

Blessings Snowwy
 
4.3 and down to 500mg Metformin from 2000mg per day :D .
 
06:40 BS 5.8 🙂 Nice to be in the 5’s again!:D

Finally finished the book & tried out the 12 tips for healthy sleep, called CBT-I & is better with longer lasting results than all types of sleeping pills, yesterday & had a nice, relatively easy kip! I found the lower temperature tip actually DOES work: no higher than 18C; my thermostat had been set at 25C due to the colder weather & kept waking up everytime it switched off when I felt cold! Paradoxically I thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep as 18C would be too cold but, it wasn’t & I even turned it down to 17C which felt a little on the cool side but, still comfortable! The thermostat did its thing, as usual, switching off & on but, the temperature gradient wasn’t so great & it didn’t wake me up feeling cold when the heater was off! 😱🙄🙂 & a Lightbulb emoji!

A rather more refreshed, bright eyed & bushy tailed of late bunny this morning wishing you all a Very Good Morning & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
