Group 7-day waking average?

Evening all. 10.1 @ 7.34am ... self-inflicted...don't ask! :(
 
Loquacious warning! 😱🙄 Go below *********** to skip!

05:37 BS 5.7. 🙂 Still wet, windy & a tad stormy here & I’m cold with the heater on this morning! Shivering emoji! Last night was ok, no heater! You know, I’m not 100% sure I really am cold as it could be the neuropathy making me feel cold but, I’m not certain & a bit of heat, from the heater, in the mornings helps! 😱🙄

Well, Oh! I’ll just stick a loquacious warning at the top, back in a mo!🙄 Now, where was I? Oh yes! There are going to be some major changes coming soon into my life & I’m nervous, a little scared & excited!

As many of you may know my family & I have been retired from the restaurant business since 2010. Now, nearly a decade later after some problems with business tenants etc., too long & boring to go into, we are going to open back up. We’re all older, no longer spring chickens, so, it’ll be a Takeaway & we won’t be doing long or late hours: again all older now! My home will be sold & I’ll move in above the business premises! I’ll have to learn how to do VAT & Taxes: already did invoices, wages, banking, money floats ie. constant number of coins etc. for giving change to customers in the till, balancing intakes & outtakes. So, won’t be completely new to me but, taxes DOES have a reputation & CAN be a bit of a minefield! 😱

It won’t all be at once but, big changes are coming into my life!😱🙄 Oh! Nearly forgot! We will also all have to learn the new market of online ordering from customers, the likes of “Just Eat” etc. 😱🙄

*********************************************

An early Good Morning to you all & stay warm & sunny, if you can, on the inside! 😉

I’m off to brekkie in a bit after warming up & I’ll have a nice hot cup of tea! Ahhhh! 🙂😛

Have a Wonderful Day folks!:D
 
😱:D:D:D Your post @Northerner wasn’t on the thread when I started typing: goes to show HOW long it took me to compose, type & post it? 😱:D😳🙄😉
 
Go for it @Lanny sounds wonderful and very good luck to all of you, hope it will be a huge success 🙂🙂

Goodness @Lanny, that really is a big change in your lives! 😱 🙂 Wishing you every success! 🙂
 
Thanks @SueEK 🙂 People KNOW us as we were open from 1975 to 2010 & a involved in the daily lifes & gossip of the town! I’m sure they’ll understand that we’re all older now & won’t be doing the crazy long hours of yesteryear! We’re planning a much more reasonable 4pm-9pm 6 days a week! And no restaurant will be MUCH easier: the food will be the same though & our customers, or should I say former, know our high standards on that front! 🙂
 
Good luck with your upcoming venture @Lanny
Morning all, a 7.8 for me today. Getting my hair coloured and cut today. No idea yet what colour it will be.

Thanks @Stitch147 , there’s 5 of us in the family doing this & I’m the weakest, least member TBH. 4 are chefs with me not being one! But, I could cook everything on our old menu of over 120 items except one: never could get the balance of hot & sour QUITE right in the Hot n’ Sour Peking Soup; just not at speed & in greater quantities! Industrial strength thick bottomed woks are very heavy: didn’t have the strength even then & definitely not now! 😱

So, I’m doing most of the admin! 😱🙄

3 of us are also type 2 diabetics, 2 of which are on insulin: so, definitely no crazy work loads! 😱🙄
 
Good morning folks!


Feeling I’m lacking energy these last few days, think 2 and a half years from being on the go at 6am and not sleeping much is finally catching up with me ☹ mentioned my lack of energy to my MIL but wont be doing that again as she jumped to the assumption my levels weren’t very good! Winds me right up!

Anyways it's a 4.9 for me this morning and dentist at 10:20, weather isn't looking too bad at the moment but thunder showers are forecast so hopefully I'll get home before then lol

Hope you all have a lovely day! :D
xx
 
Morning folks. 6.4 is the score on the door. Bit dull at the moment but the BBC have promised us sunshine later so we’re off very soon to walk (part of) the Ullswater Way. We will do half and get the steamer back to where we started, so that’s about 10 miles with some undulating bits. Oh and thanks for the good wishes for yesterday’s optician appointment. I’m stable! In fact my eye sight has improved slightly, a wee bit concerned about floaters in my left eye but have been given instructions about “ dark shadows” and losing my peripheral vision. As I worked there before retirement I have a fair idea about eye problems although I was “ only” the receptionist! Have a wonderful Wednesday. 🙂
 
6.2 for me this morning. Go for it Lanny, you are never too old to try stuff.

A thought for you. My favourite takaway has just gone on line but is using an independent system. He looked at Just Eat but was horrified at the conditions they wanted to impose on his business as well as taking what amounted to a 25% comission! They only way he could go that route was to up his prices or cut the quality of his food and that he was not going to do because he would loose half his customers!
 
Good luck on your venture Lanny.

Well done on your HS again Hazel.

4.8 for me today off for another docs appointment, not D related, but I feel between various specialists and blood tests, scans etc that I seem to have an appointment every week. Actually hoping this appointment is a waste of mine and the doctors time and I am imaging what I can feel.
 
Thank goodness for THAT @eggyg !🙂 & relieved heaving a sigh, emoji!

Also, a cousin of mine in HK is, & has been, a receptionist at an optician for many years & has also learnt a LOT about eyes: don’t sell yourself short; you probably KNOW more than you think! 🙄🙂
