Group 7-day waking average?

We’re off into town today, Mr Eggy for his annual vascular review, and I’m picking up my new/ old specs. (Getting new lenses in some old frames.)

Those old Dennis Taylor frames you’ve had in the drawer for decades? 😛 😉
 
4.6 for me roll on Friday work is a drag.
 
7.8 for me this morning, I suspect that has more to do with the bottle and a half of prosecco I drunk last night in celebration at the football, and in my wine fuelled state pinching my hubbies crackers and Brie, plus I had actually been up for almost an hour before I remembered to take it.

@eggyg - I have never understood the offside rule either, but doesn't stop me enjoying football.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
7:11am - 4.6 - hypo check - had 1 digestive biscuit
6:47am - 3.6 waking - had 3 jelly babies and 18u of tresiba which I've decided to reduce this morning from 19u
23:15pm - 4.8 - bedtime - bgl below 8mmol so had 2 packets of mini cheddars 24g of carbs and no humalog

How very dare you! Deirdre Barlow! 😛

Before I retired I worked in an opticians and we had a collection box to pop in your old specs to be recycled. Of course we got all sorts in. Usually decades old. These were my favourite. Please excuse the face as I was trying to do my Deirdre impression and they were a very strong prescription. Oh, and they were actually Chanel! There’ll be someone somewhere in a third world country wearing those proudly as we speak! 😎

It’s exactly four years today since me and Mr Eggy retired at the grand age of 57. Best thing we ever did, of course we were very lucky that Mr Eggy had a very good pension. Who knew in 1978 when he was persuaded to take out a company final salary pension with AVCs, we would be able to do that. I’m afraid those pensions are gone now.

Gets so frustrating foot on the floor waiting for corrective dose to work so can have breakfast. What do people do while they are waiting?

A big fat nowt! But I don’t have a baby! Back in the days when I worked, I’d go in the shower and get ready, put a wash on, Hoover, make the tea sometimes.

Oh, yesterday Eris took her first proper steps! Safe to say I cried snd got very excited. She’s been cruising for months and has taken sneaky little half steps a fair few times but yesterday she finally let go and managed a few steps a few times, then got herself over excited so couldn’t do it again as she was too quick, so kept flopping down again.

How wonderful! 🙂 It's not an easy thing, standing up and walking - well done Eris! 🙂

Thank you for the likes @Robin @Northerner and @eggyg but I'm actually so worried about all the hypos and 4s - you can see about it in my thread which I started this morning called hypos and 4s!
 
Morning

8.5 today

Bruce had an engineer out who told him he couldn't do anything and needed a plumber, phoned the council and was told 1 could be there yesterday, the company themselves called not long later saying no chance as there were 2 plumbers off and they had quite a few emergency call outs (can bet it was due to the new bathrooms as there's been nothing but trouble with them all!) BUT they then called back a short while later saying plumber couldn't gain access to one of his jobs so could be there in the afternoon, noise seems to be coming from the pipes under the bath and nothing he could do yesterday but will need sorted but Bruce still hasn't had his new bathroom so goodness knows what's happening! Electrician finally showed up to do his bit though so at least Bruce no longer has to manually switch anything on to get hot water

I called the health centre to request my insulin be put back onto repeat ordering rather than 2 monthly CMS as it was getting too much, I have 20 odd cartridges of Novorapid in the fridge and no room for anymore, thankfully the pharmacist agreed to my request
xx
 
Morning all it’s a 6.1

Having my hair cut today ‘Steel Magnolias’ and that hypo scene always makes me really nervous! 😱

I hope you’re all doing ok out there, it’s been a difficult few weeks being poorly then a dear friend dying. Diabetes meanwhile carries on doing its thing ! 🙄
 
@Flower I didn't really want to "like" your post but just wanted you to know I was thinking of you, I hope your feeling better and my thoughts are with you, sending hugs xx

Morning everyone. 4.6 for me. Off to work but really dont want to go

That's a rotten feeling isn't it when you really don't want to go into work. Been there myself. I used to cry every time I came out of work at one of my jobs, I left after four months as it 'just wasn't worth it'. Hope things improve for you and summer holidays looming 🙂

Good morning all. 8.9 for me.
It’s a work day for me. I work Wednesday to Friday now I’m back from maternity leave. The four days I’m home with Eris seem to go much quicker than the three days I’m at work. Wednesday always comes around so quickly and I wake with a sense of dread. It’s not the same now I have the little one. I’d much rather be at home but needs must.

Oh, yesterday Eris took her first proper steps! Safe to say I cried snd got very excited. She’s been cruising for months and has taken sneaky little half steps a fair few times but yesterday she finally let go and managed a few steps a few times, then got herself over excited so couldn’t do it again as she was too quick, so kept flopping down again.

It's exciting when they take those first steps, 50 years ago now for mine. We were at a friends house who had a cat and she just walked straight across the room to stroke it. not even a thought. There was no stopping her then. Now you will need eyes in the back of your head.
 
A 5.7 for me at 07:11 I was late checking as I'd been sorting out the baby since just before 06:00. It was nice first thing but has clouded over now in West Berks. Looking at the forecast I think this is set in for the day before some better weather tomorrow.

It's a pattern with me I get fed up after a couple or years and I really miss my old job working for the MD and buyers of the Ferrari main dealer in Lyndhurst new forest, got to travel all over the country picking up all sorts of exotic cars and got paid for it along with hotels/food/travel. I had some very exciting drives home but at all came to an end when they sold a couple of showrooms so work dried up but it was a great 5 years and I met some amazing people :confused: .
