Group 7-day waking average?

@Maca44 - tempting but the hairy bit doesn’t do it for me lol 🙄
@freesia such a kind offer but the bum bit is what I would like. My daughter keeps saying she will buy me some JLo pants x
 
I got your @eggyg special this morning Elaine.... 5.5 for me.
I am pleased to report no overnight hypos but I ended up injecting a 1.5 unit correction at 3.15am as having gone to bed high to prevent a hypo I flat lined in the 9s and 10s instead of dropping like I normally do.... Typical!

Hair dying happened last night and I now have hints of turquoise in the ends of my pony tail. Love the colour.... was supposed to be lagoon blue but on top of the brassy blond it has a definite green tinge to it, but I wanted green to start with and my closest friends both said an emphatic "NO" Disappointed that the colour didn't take better. Ian helped me both with the bleaching and colouring and I think neither of us should give up our day jobs! We definitely need more practice and we will have another go in a couple of weeks when this fades.... Not enough colour to last more than that I think. Anyway, photo will follow when I get myself tidied up but lots of manual work to do today first. I have a trailer load of manure to deliver this afternoon and it is going to take some filling as it is the back of the muck bay and the trailer doesn't fit into the bay so I have to carry each fork full the length of the bay to the trailer. Good exercise though.

@Gwynn @goodybags and @HenryBennett Many congrats to you all on your House Specials today.

@MAC2020 So pleased you are feeling in better spirits. I was worried about you saying you had so many concerns weighing you down the other day. Hope you had a lovely walk and feel refreshed from it and the good feelings continue. I really find exercise hugely beneficial to my sense of wellbeing. Motivation to get started is the hard part.
 
@SueEK I'm sure you'd see it differently too if it was because you literally had to rather than wanted to and every night too, so frustrating when you need to inject for 30g carbs at tea time but then bed rolls around and you need 50g carbs just to avoid a hypo, (of which I've not long had hence delayed comment 🙄 LOL) as for bum I had a fab one (Bruce;s and many others thoughts, not my own) until diagnosis and eating disorder but finally got it back now so sorry can't give you it lol xx
 
6.1 this morning.

Woke up feeling productive so decided today was the day to take up a pair of curtains.
Measured, tacked, cut. Measured again. Hemmed. Steam pressed. Put back up.
At which point it dawned on me that I’d hemmed one of the pair on the front rather than the back.

Not really fixable with this fabric so guess who’s going to be spending time this afternoon looking at John Lewis certain offerings!

Just checked again, been doing that a lot lately, to see if I can book a vaccination, as I know that tier 6 is next while tier 5 is being done now, & I can so, did! It’s for 18/03/21 & the 2nd one for 17/05/21.

You’ve book the second? That’s great!
 
Still feeling the effects of my vaccination. Feverish overnight and struggled to get levels below 10. Woke with a 14.6 (I still forget that this pump doesn’t remind me when a TBR finishes. Going into auto mode on Tuesday so that should help)

Still as you said @Flower nice to know that we have an immune system that gets some things right. (Glad you have a new shiny cast). Decided some fresh air would make a difference and caught a period of sunshine. Dry and warm!

Have a good rest of the weekend

I once involved OH in measurements for some curtains I was making. I didn’t realise that he was working in mom and I was in cm. Rather than a 10cm hem allowance and heading we had a 10mm one at each end. I did get round it, but it was a lesson learnt.
Ps
John Lewis do have some very nice curtains. So much easier than making them.
 
@SB2015 which vaccine did you have? My mum's just had a call and is getting the Pfizer on Thursday xx
 
SB2015 said:
I had the Astrazenica.
I was happy to have whatever I was offered.

I hope you get a bit more sleep tonight.

Yeah that's the one my grandad received at the GP surgery but mum's been asked to attend the local hospital

Thanks, I never sleep well though and haven't since I was diagnosed lol xx

I’m amazed they’ll know now which one they’ll have to go on Thursday.
I had the Pfizer one.

You know if our GP is organising it. The local surgery can’t store the Pfizer, so if you’re appointment is just down the road, it’ll be the AZ, and if you’re asked to trek 12miles across country to one of the 'Rural West Oxfordshire' partner surgeries that obviously has a deep freeze, it’ll be the Pfizer! Mine was a guessing game as I went to the major hub in Oxford.

Think they are quite well organised up here plus its the local hospital rather than the health centre where my grandad received the Oxford one xx

Not true I had mine at GP run Vaccination Hub (not my own), and we had the Pfizer. This hub has been vaccinating from early in the programme.
