Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. New kitchen being fitted today. All go.

Re health. Didn't realise I was Stage 4 liver so googled it and says you've got 2 years. I'm on a roll then as I was diagnosed at least 3 years ago if not longer. Anyway what happened to Stages 1 2 and 3. I might have been able to save myself. It's not as if I don't have an overhaul every year. Feeling a bit let down but can only blame myself. Very annoying. I want to blame somebody else. :D
 
Morning all, 5.6 here. Son is here working from home, our home! He and his sister are seeing something this evening and are starting from here. Meanwhile I shall visit our mud monster this morning and try and get him clean enough for the equine physio to give him a nice back massage. Here are some pics of him (the pony, not the physio) trying to convince me I’ve got more carrots in my pocket.

Morning all,

4.6 today, much brighter, still a bit breezy but we missed the worst of the storm here as well. Not looking forward to my first walk home I. The dark from my mums today but on the plus side it will be a bit of extra exercise as now it is dark I will walk round the roads and not use the foot/cycle paths which cut about 10 mins walking time, they cycle/footpaths are lit but I feel vulnerable using them in the dark.

Hope everyone was safe yesterday.

@Robin - love the pony, although I do admit I don’t like getting close to horses and ponies.

@Ditto - sorry to hear your liver is stage 4, I am shocked that docs have not discussed this with you. Sending you hugs.
 
5.5 for me today. It's bloomin' cold this morning.

Dez
 
Morning all. I must have needed a really good sleep. I've only just woken up!! However i've woken to find the sensor has stopped working and to replace it! It was due to be replaced later today anyway but i will have to finger prick today while the new one beds in.

Finger prick 3.4!! Better go and treat it. Have a good day whatever you are doing.
 
Shocked to see some of the damage caused by Ciaran, especially in the Channel Islands. Hopefully nobody's having to clean up here on the mainland. Penzance seems to have got a battering though so hope everything's OK with @Pattidevans.Turned out to be a bit of a damp squib here, despite the weather warnings. Like @TinaD we only got a wet & blustery day.

DF's made up for her wicked teasing at the start of the week by delivering a 5.2 this morning. Weekly BP check's good too - 103/66.

Time for a coffee while I read the paper, then shave followed by regular Friday Big Shop at Sainsbury's and a run out to the greengrocer at the garden centre.

@Ditto - so sorry to hear that. .

Morning all.3.7; for me this morning.Bloody bus drivers strike had to walk to health centre in rain was only 8 miles yesterday.Anyways diabetes nurse impressed Ha1 BC 47 stone lost in weigh cholesterol liver kidneys all good.and my tests came back I haven't got bowel cancer so that's a relief have a face to face with my gp Monday see what she has to say ..Have a good day folks
 
Morning all and 5.1 for me.

Washing out as it's bright and breezy here.

Looking forward to tickling the ivories and tooting my horn tonight. Good forecast so attendees shouldn't be put off by the weather.

Have a good day everyone.
 
6.4 for me this morning and a flat horizontal line overnight although I upped my evening Levemir by 1 unit to 1 unit last night despite my walk yesterday in the rain and my trips up and down the stairs, but I didn't sleep well and I woke up with a bad stomach again at 5am. Surprisingly getting up and going to the loo and taking tablets didn't put a blip on my graph, so clearly FOTF knows the difference between when I get up to start the day and when I am just getting up to go to the loo but intend to climb back into slumber land.

Congrats to @Martin.A on your House Special this morning.

More (((HUGS))) to @Ditto. That is really worrying. How did you find out. Can you get an appointment to discuss it? I am sure that your efforts to reign in your eating will have helped you to beat the odds so far, so do keep trying to maintain some control, although that news will most likely make you want to comfort eat all the more. Have you spoken to your family about it or is that too scary? Really feeling for you, but I can't do it justice with words. More (((HUGS)))
 
And it was another 5.4 for me earlier this fine sunny morning.

Still not caught up, keep getting distracted by irl things. And Facebook (doom scrolling :rofl:). Though not all doom, did get lots of positive comments when I posted a life event recently.... see pic below :D

5.2 this morning, second morning in a row too! Not sure why as I bought a naughty loaf of cranberry and pecan bread 2 days ago so eaten more carbs than usual the last 2 days....

Congratulations on your engagement and on 2 HS in a row.
 
Good evening! 5'1 today.

Spent the day with my good friend in the big city, we had lunch and coffee. Not much time left for shopping, but we had a lot of chatter and she returned a sweater I left at her place ages ago. So still feel like I have "new" clothes. She also gave me a set of bedsheets that someone bought her and were the wrong size. Take that off my shopping list 😉

I'm posting from the train, that's departing around 15 minutes late because the driver hadn't arrived from his previous London service. Poor lad (or lady?) has to drive all the way to Cardiff now, I'm glad my stop is not that far. This morning we had another 40 minute delay. Yesterday I was thinking about traveling up to Scotland sometime, I'm not sure if the train would be the best choice. Must beat the bus tho!
